中级美国英语Lesson29:间接引句[二]

第二十九课　间接引句（二）
一.本课要点及示例

在这一课里, 我们继续学习怎么样引述别人或是自己以前说过的话.

首先我们还是依照惯例, 听一段对话, 内容是说彼得转告凯特, 亨利打电话回 家, 交待了一些什么事情. 请你特别注意英文老师的发音和语调.

M: Mom, Dad called and said that he wouldn't be home for dinner.

F: Did he say why?

M: Yes,he said that one of the men was sick and he was going to stay for the afternoon shift.

F: Did he say when he would be home?

M: He didn't say. But he did say that he was tired. He had had a busy day.

F: Did he say why?

M: He said that there had been a big fire in town and it had taken nearly all morning to put it out.

F: I hope that he wasn't hurt.

现在我们把整段对话再听一遍, 请你注意听.

M: Mom, Dad called and said that he wouldn't be home for dinner.

F: Did he say why?

M: Yes,he said that one of the men was sick and he was going to stay for the afternoon shift.

F: Did he say when he would be home?

M: He didn't say. But he did say that he was tired. He had had a busy day.

F: Did he say why?

M: He said that there had been a big fire in town and it had taken nearly all morning to put it out.

F: I hope that he wasn't hurt.

下面老师再把对话里的间接引句念一遍给你听.

M: Dad said that he wouldn't be home for dinner.

M: He said that one of the men was sick.

F: Did he say when he would be home?

M: He did say that he was tired.

M: He said that there had been a big fire in town.

二.间接引句复习

从上面的几个句子你可以看出间接引句的一些规则,有一些我们在上一课已经 学过; 有些我们今天要学.

首先我们复习上一课教过的. 第一组练习是由彼得或是凯特说几句话, 然后由 别人引述一遍, 请你注意听.

M: Henry is going to stay for the afternoon shift.

F: Peter said that Henry was going to stay for the afternoon shift.

M: He will be busy in the afternoon.

F: Peter said that Henry would be busy in the afternoon.

M: He can't come home for dinner.

F: Peter said that Henry couldn't come home for dinner.

F: Is Henry tired?

M: Kate asked if Henry was tired.

F: Is Henry hurt?

M: Kate asked whether Henry was hurt.

三.引述疑问句

听了上面一组练习, 我想你对我们上一课教过的间接引句已经有了印象, 尤其 是怎么样引述问句. 现在我们来学习怎么样引述用疑问词.比方 "为什么" why, "哪儿" where, "什么时候" when 开头的疑问句. 如果有人问你: "你什么时候下 班?" When are you going to be off duty? 在引述这句话的时候你就应该这么说:

Someone asked me when I was going to be off duty. 请你注意, 因为有疑问词, 所以在间接引句里疑问词代替了我们以前学过 if, whether, 或是 that, 但是仍 然必须把问句改为过去时态陈述句. 我再举一个例子, 比方有人问你:"怎么样 才能作救火员?" How can one be a fire fighter? 在引述这句话的时候你就应该 这么说: Someone asked me how one could be a fire fighter.

现在我们作一组练习,学学这种说法.练习的作法是由凯特问一些有关亨利跟 其他救火员的情况的问题, 然后学生就把凯特的话引述一遍. 在学生 作练习 的时候请你也一起作.

F: Why isn't Henry coming home for dinner?

M: Kate asked why Henry wasn't coming home for dinner.

F: Why is he going to stay for the afternoon shift?

M: Kate asked why Henry was going to stay for the afternoon shift.

F: Where is he?

M: Kate asked where Henry was.

F: How is he?

M: Kate asked how Henry was.

F: How are his fellow fire fighters?

M: Kate asked how Henry's fellow fire fighters were.

F: When is he going to be off duty?

M: Kate asked when Henry was going to be off duty.

F: When is he coming home?

M: Kate asked when Henry was coming home.
