引述某人的话一般采用两种形式：一种是直接引语（direct speech），即原封不动地引用原话，把它放在引号内；另一种是间接引语（indirect speech），即用自己的话加以转述，被转述的内容不放在引号内。

一、 直接引语变间接引语

a. 陈述句的间接引语

   直接引语是陈述句，变为间接引语时，在多数情况下都构成一个that引导的宾语从句，引述动词通常是say, tell等。与此同时，间接引语中的人称、时态和其他方面也要相应有所变化。  the foreigner aid to me, i like beijing very much.那老外告诉我：我很喜欢北京。  → the foreigner told me that he she liked beijing very much. 那老外告诉我说他（她）很喜欢北京。  she said,we are very fond of sports. 她说：我们都喜欢体育运动。  → she said that they were very fond of sports. 她说他（她）们都喜欢体运动。  i'll go over the grammar lesson once again,he said. 他说：我将把语法课再复习一遍。  → he said he would go over the grammar lesson once again. 他说他将要把语法课再复习一遍。（that可省略）

b. 疑问句的间接引语

  1.一般疑问句和反意疑问句  一般疑问句改为间接引语时，要用陈述语序，并要加连词if 或 whether，其主句动词常用ask, wonder, wantto know, didn't know等。句末不用问号。  my teacher asked me, do you like american country music 我老师问我：你喜欢美国乡村音乐吗？  → my teacher asked me ifwhether i liked american country music. 我老师问我是否喜欢美国乡村音乐。  you haven't been to beijing, have you asked he. 他问：你没去过北，是吗？  → he asked me ifwhether i had been to beijing. 他问我是否去过北京。

  2.否定的一般疑问句和选择问句  如果直接引语为否定的一般问句或选择疑问句时，用whetheror 连接。  she said, don't you know my telephone number 她说：你难道不知道我的电话号码吗？  → she asked me whether i knew her telephone number or not. 她问我是知道她的电话号码。  do you like this one or that one tom asked. 汤姆问：你是喜欢这个还是那个？  → tom asked me whether i liked this one or that one. 汤姆问我是喜欢这个还是那个。

  3.特殊疑问句  间接引语为特殊疑问句时，间接引语前仍然用特殊疑问词作为连词引导宾语从句，注意从句必须用陈述语序，主句谓语动词常用ask。  he asked, how do you like it 他问：你觉得怎样？  → he asked me how i liked it. 他问我觉得它怎样。  she asked me, what's the matter with you 她问我：你怎么啦？  → she asked me what was the matter with me. 她问我我怎么啦。  how many books do you have she asked. 她问：你有多少本书？  → she asked me how many books i had. 她问我有多少本。

  4.其它  英语中有些疑问句并非提出疑问，而是表示请求、劝告、建议等。这种疑问句变为间接引语时，往往采用其他的形式。  ①.suggest doing  shall we all go to the film tonight said michael. 迈克尔说：我们今晚都去看电影，好吗？  → michael suggested going to the film tonight. 迈克尔建议今晚都去看电影。  what about having a drink he asked. 他问：喝杯怎么样？  he suggested having a drink. 他建议喝一杯。  ②.advise sb to do  why don't you go hiking asked james. 詹姆士问：你为什么不徒步旅行？  james advised me to go hiking. 詹姆士建议我去徒步旅行。  ③. offer to do  he said, would you like me to post the letter 他说：你要我寄信吗？  he offered to ost the letter. 他主动提出寄信。  ④.ask sb to do  will you please bring your reference book here tomorrow she said to me. 她对我说：劳驾你明天把你的参考书带来好吗？  → she asked me to take my reference book there the next day. 她让我第二天把我的参考书带去。

c. 祈使句的间接引语

  1.直接引语为祈使句时，间接引语往往用复合宾来表示，其结构为主语+谓语+宾语+宾语补足语（动词不定式）。引述动词可根据口气选用tell, ask, order, command, request等词，句中please去掉。  she said to me, please have a rest. 她对我说：请休息一下。  → she asked me to have a rest. 她要求我休息一下。  don't all answer at once, she said to the pupils. 她对学生说：大家不要齐声回答。→ she told the pupils not to answer all at once. 她叫学生不要齐声回答。

  2.带有let的祈使句（表示请求，建议或命令），可用suggest + -ing形式或suggest +that从句来表示其相应的意思。  let's go for a walk, said the girl. 那姑娘说，让我们去散散步吧。  → the girl suggested going for a walk. 这女孩建议去散散步。  the teacher sai, let lily tidy the classroom. 老师说：让莉莉整理教室。  → the teacher suggested that lily should tidy the classroom. 老师建议让莉莉整理教室。

d. 感叹句的间接引语

  1.直接引语是感叹句变为间接引语时，多采用宾语从句结构，既可用what或how引导，也可用that引导。  what a clever boy you are!my teacher said to him. 老师对他说，你是个聪明的孩子啊！  → my teacher told him what a clever boy he was. 老师对他说他是一个多聪明的孩子啊。  → my teacher told him that he was a very clever boy. 老师说他是一个非常聪明的孩子。  he said, how well you look! 他说：你看起来气色多好啊！  → he said how well i looked. 他说我看起来是气色多好啊。  → he said that i ooked very well. 他说我看起来气色很好。

  2.有些感叹句可以根据原句的意思，采用适当的动词变为陈述句，不需用间接宾语来转述。   help! he cried. 他喊到：救命啊！  → he called for help. 他大声呼救。  what terrible weather it is!he said. 他说：多么糟糕的天气！  → he complained about the terrible weather. 他抱怨这糟糕的天气。  happy chrismas! he said. 他说：圣诞快乐！  he wished me a happy christmas. 他祝我圣诞快乐。

二、 间接引语中的词语变化
