第二十六讲 直接引语与间接引语
(解析版)
黑龙江哈尔滨 邱尚瑛
在高考的一轮复习中,考生常常会忽略对直接引语与间接引语的复习,而且常常会错误地认为:直接引语和间接引语是初中的语法项目,在高考试题中不会出现。然而事实不是这样。虽然在高考试题中一般情况下不会直接考察直接引语和间接引语,但是,其相关考察内容在历年的高考试题中都会有所体现。比如:在阅读理解、单项选择等试题中,总会有相关的知识点设置其中。因此,在一轮复习中一定不要忽视对直接引语和间接引语的复习,必须理清直接引语与间接引语的关系及其转换方法。因此,教师在辅导学生进行一轮复习的时候,必须引导学生认真对待直接引语与间接引语的相关知识点,对相关语言知识进行梳理,夯实基础知识,掌握核心内容。教师需要把与直接引语和间接引语相关的语法现象从横向与纵向进行融会贯通,通过对语言知识的梳理提高学生借助语法知识进行阅读与写作能力。因此,教师要逐条列出学生出容易出现错误的问题,通过典型例句的讲解和巩固训练提高学生的语言应用能力。
I. 直接引语与间接引语 ( Direct Speech and Indirect Speech )
1. 直接引语转为间接引语概述
直接引语就是直接引述别人的原话,原话用引号。间接引语就是引述别人的话,不用引号。也就是说:直接引述别人说的话,再用引号括起来称为直接引语;用自己的话把别人的话说出来,称为间接引语。间接引语通常就是一个宾语从句。
直接引语:She said, “I like singing. ” 她说:“我喜欢唱歌。”
变成间接引语为:She said she liked singing. 她说她喜欢唱歌。
直接引语:She said, “I am waiting for a bus.” 她说:“我在等公共汽车。”
变成间接引语为:She said she was waiting for a bus. 她说她在等公共汽车。
2. 直接引语转为间接引语的各种情况
1)直接引语是陈述句,变为间接引语时,要根据句意和不同情况用连词that/ whether/if引导宾语从句。从句中的人称、时态、指示代词、时间状语和地点状语等相应变化。
She asked, “Have you seen the film?”
她问:“你看过这部电影吗?”
She asked me whether/if I had seen the film.
她问我是否看过这部电影。
2)直接引语的动词是现在时,则间接引语中的动词、时间、时态的形式不变。
She says, “I’ll never forget the moment.” →
她说:“我永远不会忘记这一刻。”
She says that she’ll never forget the moment.
她说她永远不会忘记这一刻。
3)直接引语如果表示客观真理,变间接引语时,时态不变。
The teacher said “The earth goes round the sun.” →
老师说:“地球绕着太阳转。”
The teacher said that the earth goes round the sun.
老师说地球绕着太阳转。
4)直接引语的动词为过去时,间接引语中的动词、时间、时态、地点、人称等一般要作相应的变化,遵循下列规律:
(1) 陈述句的间接引语:连接词用that,在口语中可省略。直接引语的动词用said,told等。
He said: “I’ve left my book in my room.”→
他说:“我把书忘在房间里了。”
He told me that he had left his book in his room.
他告诉我他把书忘在房间里了
She said: “He will be busy.”→
She said that he would be busy. 她说他会很忙。
(2) 疑问句的间接引语:一般疑问句后连接词用if或whether,而引述选择疑问句时只能用whether,引述动词用asked,没有间接引语的,可以加一个间接宾语me,him等。
She said to Tom, “Can you help me?”→
她对汤姆说:“你能帮帮我吗?“
She asked Tom if /whether he could help her.
她问汤姆是否能帮助她。
She asked, “Is this book yours or his?”→
She asked me whether that book was mine or his.
(3) 祈使句的间接引语:采用 动词+宾语+不定式 结构。
asked sb.(not) to do sth
ordered sb.(not) to do sth
warned sb.(not) to do sth
The teacher said to the students, “Don’t waste your time.” →
老师对学生们说:“不要浪费时间。”
The teacher told the students not to waste their time.
老师告诉学生不要浪费时间。
The mother said, “Tom, get up early, please.”→
母亲说:“汤姆,请早点起床。”
The mother asked Tom to get up early. (去掉please)
母亲叫汤姆早起。

知识点一 直接引语变间接引语的人称与时态
例1:They say there _________ a new bridge across the river in two years.
A. will have B. is going to be C. has D. would have
【答案】B
【解析】句意:他们说两年内将有一座新的桥横跨这条河。主句是一般现在时(They say),因为是in two years(两年之后),因此间接引语要用一般将来时,然而there be 不可以与have一起用,故选择is going to be(表示将来时态),所以选择答案B。故答案为B。
变式训练1:
1)“I will pick you up after work,” Paul said to me. →
Paul said ______ me up after work.
A. I pick B. he picked C. he will pick D. he would pick
2)— Could you tell me _________?
— Glad to help.
A. if I have been to the Great Wall B. where did he study
C. how I can get to the station D. what’s your name
知识点二 祈使句转换为间接引语
例2:—My parents always tell me _________ others late at night.
—They’re right. It’s not polite.
A. call B. not call C. to call D. not to call
【答案】D
【解析】句意:—我的父母总是告诉我不要在深夜给别人打电话。—他们是对的。这是不礼貌的。从答语“他们说得对,那是不礼貌的”可知,My parents always tell me… 意为:父母常叫我不要在夜里给别人打电话。动词不定式是not to do,即tell sb. not to do sth. 。故选择答案为D。
变式训练2:
1)—Joyce, please don’t open the window.
—Pardon?
—I __________ open the window.
A. tell you don’t B. tell you not to
C. told you didn’t D. told you not to
2)The teacher asked us __________ so much noise.
A. don’t make B. not make C. not making D. not to make
知识点三 直接引语中是特殊疑问句转为间接引语
例3:Can you tell me ___________ ?
A. how good is his spoken English B. how well his spoken English is
C. how well he speaks English D. how good he can speak English
【答案】C
【解析】句意:你能告诉我他的英语口语有多好吗?直接引语是特殊疑问句转为间接引语要改为由疑问代词或疑问副词引导的宾语从句,并且要用陈述语序。故选择答案C。
变式训练4:
1)Please tell me __________ from.
A. where do you come B. where you come
C. where you will come D. where will you come
2)The doctor asked me what __________ with me.
A. is wrong B. wrong is C. was wrong D. wrong was
知识点四 直接引语是反意疑问句、选择疑问句或一般疑问句时需注意
例4:He asked me _______I would go to Beijing by air the next day.
A. that if B. if C. that whether D. how
【答案】B
【解析】句意:他问我第二天是否乘飞机去北京。原句的直接引语应该是:will you go to Beijing by air tomorrow?当直接引语是反意疑问句、选择疑问句或一般疑问句时,转换为间接引语用if引导从句。故选择答案B。
变式训练4:
1)He _______they didn’t start early they wouldn’t catch the first bus.
A. said that if B. asked if C. asked whether D. said that whether
2)Mr. Wang asked her _________ come with them to take part in the party.
A. if she would B. if she will
C. that if she will D. whether will she
知识点五 直接引语转为间接引语综合辨析
例5:Did you say __________?
A. that what he said was true B. that it was true that he said
C. what did he say was true D. what he said it was true
【答案】A
【解析】句意:你说他说的是真的吗?首先排除答案C,因为间接引语要用陈述句语序。再排除答案D,因为what有两个功能,一是引导从句,二是在从句中充当成分(在该从句中充当said的宾语),所以不能再出现it。答案B中的it不能引导从句。故选择答案A。
变式训练5:

第二十六讲 直接引语与间接引语
(解析版)
黑龙江哈尔滨 邱尚瑛
在高考的一轮复习中,考生常常会忽略对直接引语与间接引语的复习,而且常常会错误地认为:直接引语和间接引语是初中的语法项目,在高考试题中不会出现。然而事实不是这样。虽然在高考试题中一般情况下不会直接考察直接引语和间接引语,但是,其相关考察内容在历年的高考试题中都会有所体现。比如:在阅读理解、单项选择等试题中,总会有相关的知识点设置其中。因此,在一轮复习中一定不要忽视对直接引语和间接引语的复习,必须理清直接引语与间接引语的关系及其转换方法。因此,教师在辅导学生进行一轮复习的时候,必须引导学生认真对待直接引语与间接引语的相关知识点,对相关语言知识进行梳理,夯实基础知识,掌握核心内容。教师需要把与直接引语和间接引语相关的语法现象从横向与纵向进行融会贯通,通过对语言知识的梳理提高学生借助语法知识进行阅读与写作能力。因此,教师要逐条列出学生出容易出现错误的问题,通过典型例句的讲解和巩固训练提高学生的语言应用能力。
I. 直接引语与间接引语 ( Direct Speech and Indirect Speech )
1. 直接引语转为间接引语概述
直接引语就是直接引述别人的原话,原话用引号。间接引语就是引述别人的话,不用引号。也就是说:直接引述别人说的话,再用引号括起来称为直接引语;用自己的话把别人的话说出来,称为间接引语。间接引语通常就是一个宾语从句。
直接引语:She said, “I like singing. ” 她说:“我喜欢唱歌。”

2. 直接引语转为间接引语的各种情况
1)直接引语是陈述句,变为间接引语时,要根据句意和不同情况用连词that/ whether/if引导宾语从句。从句中的人称、时态、指示代词、时间状语和地点状语等相应变化。
She asked, “Have you seen the film?”
她问:“你看过这部电影吗?”
She asked me whether/if I had seen the film.

她说:“我永远不会忘记这一刻。”
She says that she’ll never forget the moment.

She said to Tom, “Can you help me?”→
她对汤姆说:“你能帮帮我吗?“
She asked Tom if /whether he could help her.
她问汤姆是否能帮助她。
She asked, “Is this book yours or his?”→

知识点一 直接引语变间接引语的人称与时态
例1:They say there _________ a new bridge across the river in two years.
A. will have B. is going to be C. has D. would have
【答案】B
【解析】句意:他们说两年内将有一座新的桥横跨这条河。主句是一般现在时(They say),因为是in two years(两年之后),因此间接引语要用一般将来时,然而there be 不可以与have一起用,故选择is going to be(表示将来时态),所以选择答案B。故答案为B。
变式训练1:
1)“I will pick you up after work,” Paul said to me. →
Paul said ______ me up after work.
A. I pick B. he picked C. he will pick D. he would pick
【答案】D
【解析】句意:“下班后我会来接你,”保罗对我说。→ 保罗说他下班后会来接我。句中主语是第一人称,从句中的人称要按照主句中主语的人称变化;所以排除A;直接引语的时态是will pick,间接引语转变成would pick,把一般将来时转换为过去将来时。所以选择答案为D。
2)— Could you tell me _________?
— Glad to help.
A. if I have been to the Great Wall B. where did he study
C. how I can get to the station D. what’s your name
【答案】C
【解析】句意:你能告诉我去车站怎么走吗?根据间接引语应该是陈述句语序,排除B、D选项,A意思不合逻辑。句中could是一种委婉语气,不要和过去时态联系在一起。故选择答案C。
知识点二 祈使句转换为间接引语
例2:—My parents always tell me _________ others late at night.
—They’re right. It’s not polite.
A. call B. not call C. to call D. not to call
【答案】D
【解析】句意:—我的父母总是告诉我不要在深夜给别人打电话。—他们是对的。这是不礼貌的。从答语“他们说得对,那是不礼貌的”可知,My parents always tell me… 意为:父母常叫我不要在夜里给别人打电话。动词不定式是not to do,即tell sb. not to do sth. 。故选择答案为D。
变式训练2:
1)—Joyce, please don’t open the window.
—Pardon?
—I __________ open the window.
A. tell you don’t B. tell you not to
C. told you didn’t D. told you not to
【答案】D
【解析】句意:— 乔伊斯,请不要打开窗户。— 请再说一遍?—我告诉过你不要打开窗户。祈使句的间接引语采用“动词+宾语+不定式”结构,所以排除答案A和C;答案B的时态错误,直接引语是一般现在时态,间接引语用一般过去时态。故选择答案D。
2)The teacher asked us __________ so much noise.
A. don’t make B. not make C. not making D. not to make
【答案】D
【解析】句意:老师叫我们不要大声喧哗。祈使句的间接引语的否定式用“not +不定式”结构,所以排除答案A、B和C;故选择答案D。
知识点三 直接引语中是特殊疑问句转为间接引语
例3:Can you tell me ___________ ?
A. how good is his spoken English B. how well his spoken English is
C. how well he speaks English D. how good he can speak English
【答案】C
【解析】句意:你能告诉我他的英语口语有多好吗?直接引语是特殊疑问句转为间接引语要改为由疑问代词或疑问副词引导的宾语从句,并且要用陈述语序。故选择答案C。
变式训练4:
1)Please tell me __________ from.
A. where do you come B. where you come
C. where you will come D. where will you come
【答案】B
【解析】句意:请告诉我您来自哪里。直接引语是特殊疑问句转为间接引语要改为由疑问代词或疑问副词引导的宾语从句,从句要用陈述句语序;所以先排除答案A和D,因为它们都是倒装语序。故选择答案B。
2)The doctor asked me what __________ with me.
A. is wrong B. wrong is C. was wrong D. wrong was
【答案】C
【解析】句意:医生问我怎么了。这是间接引语,它的直接引语是:what’s wrong with you?转为间接引语需要将时态转换为过去式,宾语的人称根据主句中的宾语me而把you转换为me。故选择答案C。
知识点四 直接引语是反意疑问句、选择疑问句或一般疑问句时需注意
例4:He asked me _______I would go to Beijing by air the next day.
A. that if B. if C. that whether D. how
【答案】B
【解析】句意:他问我第二天是否乘飞机去北京。原句的直接引语应该是:will you go to Beijing by air tomorrow?当直接引语是反意疑问句、选择疑问句或一般疑问句时,转换为间接引语用if引导从句。故选择答案B。
变式训练4:
1)He _______they didn’t start early they wouldn’t catch the first bus.
A. said that if B. asked if C. asked whether D. said that whether
【答案】A
【解析】句意:他说如果他们不早出发,他们就赶不上第一班车了。间接引语是一个带有条件从句的句子,答案A符合句子结构:主语he+谓语动词said +由that引导的宾语从句。故选择答案A。
2)Mr. Wang asked her _________ come with them to take part in the party.
A. if she would B. if she will
C. that if she will D. whether will she
【答案】A
【解析】句意:王先生问她是否愿意和他们一起参加晚会。当直接引语是反意疑问句、选择疑问句或一般疑问句时,转换为间接引语用if引导从句,语序用正常语序,时态做相应的变化,一般将来时转为过去将来时。故选择答案A。
知识点五 直接引语转为间接引语综合辨析
例5:Did you say __________?
A. that what he said was true B. that it was true that he said
C. what did he say was true D. what he said it was true
【答案】A
【解析】句意:你说他说的是真的吗?首先排除答案C,因为间接引语要用陈述句语序。再排除答案D,因为what有两个功能,一是引导从句,二是在从句中充当成分(在该从句中充当said的宾语),所以不能再出现it。答案B中的it不能引导从句。故选择答案A。
变式训练5:
1)John ________ me he was going to help me with my English.
A. explained B. spoke C. told D. said
【答案】C
【解析】句意:约翰告诉我他要帮我学英语。答案A中的explained后面跟sth. 或者to sb.即:explained sth.(to sb.)/ explained to sb. (sth.);所以排除。答案B中的speak应该是speak to sb. / about sth.(sb.) 或者speak with sb. / about sth. (sb.)。答案D应该用said that+从句,或者said to sb.。故选择答案C。
2)He said that he ________ to music ________.
A. is listening;then B. listened;then
C. was listening;now D. was listening;then
【答案】D
【解析】句意:他说他那时正在听音乐。这是带有间接引语的宾语从句,其直接引语是:He said, “I am listening to music now. ” ;人称代词I 已经根据主句的人称转换为了he;一般现在时要转换为一般过去时,所以am转为was;时间做相应的变化,所以now转换为then。故选择答案D。
一、选择题(Choose the best answer)

A. why he is not here B. how did my brother do it
C. what time is it D. what Judy did over the weekend
【答案】D

2. The students said they ________ have a picnic together after the big test.
A. would love to B. would love C. had love D. had love
【答案】A
【解析】句意:学生们说他们喜欢在大测验后一起野餐。主句中的said是动词过去式,从after the big test可判断,间接引语应该用过去将来时;to have a picnic together是would love的宾语。故答案为A。

—He said,“We _______ be proud of working hard. We mustn’t be lazy. ”
A. must B. needn’t C. may D. can’t

C. how much did I pay D. how much I paid
【答案】D

A.who is he B. who he is C. who is it D. who it is

10. He asked them who had given them a talk _________.
A. the day before yesterday B. the day before
C. the before day D. yesterday
【答案】B
【解析】句意:他问他们前一天谁给他们做的演讲。the day before yesterday用于直接引语,其间接引语应该是two days before,所以排除;the day before的间接引语是yesterday;答案C语序错误,答案D用于直接引语。故选择答案B。
11. She said ________ she ________ to pass the exam.
A. what;fails B. that;fails C. that;failed D. what;failed

C. failed was for D. failed is that
【答案】B
【解析】句意:王先生说,他失败的原因是他太粗心了。首先排除答案A和D,因为主句的谓语动词是过去时态,间接引语要用过去时态;从间接引语中的he failed was ...可以看出这是一个表语从句,表语从句的主句的主语是reason,表语从句由that引导。故选答案B。
14. He said that he _______ pick _______ a passenger at super market..
A. will;up B. would;up C. will;out D. would;out
【答案】B
【解析】句意:他说他会在超市接一名乘客。间接引语根据主句的谓语动词的时态排除答案A和C;pick up的意思是捎带乘客/让人搭自己的车;pick out是选择,挑选的意思。故选择B。
15. The teacher asked his students ______ their age to her. Tom said he ______ in 1993.
A. no tell;was born B. to tell;is born
C. no tell;was born D. to tell;was born
【答案】D
【解析】句意:老师让学生们把他们的年龄告诉她。汤姆说,他是1993年出生的。第一句的间接引语的原句子(直接引语)是一个祈使句,祈使句转换为间接引语用动词不定式结构,肯定式为to do,否定式为not to do,答案B和D符合,所以排除答案A和C。再看第二个空处也是间接引语,其前面主句的动词是过去时态,因此要用was;故选择答案D。
16. She asked me if I _________ in science.
A. am interesting B. was interesting
C. was interested D. am interested
【答案】C
【解析】句意:她问我是否对科学感兴趣。主句的谓语动词是过去时态,所以从句不能用一般现在时,因此排除答案A和D;对……感兴趣是be interested in…;故选择答案C。
17. He said that he had bought the book __________.
A. before the day B. yesterday C. the day before D. three days ago
【答案】C
【解析】句意:他说他前一天买的这本书。间接引语的时间状语要随着主句的谓语动词的时态变化,主句said是过去时态,所以排除答案A、B和D,因为答案A的词序错误,答案B和D是直接引语的时间状语。the day before(前一天)在间接引语中表示的是原话的昨天(yesterday);three days ago 在间接引语中是three days before。故选择答案C。
18. The driver said that he _________ pick ________ a passenger at West Street.
A will;up B. would;up C. will;out D. would;out
【答案】B
【解析】句意:司机说他会在西街搭载一名乘客。pick up是搭载(让他人乘自己的车)、开车接人、捡起的意思;pick out是挑选,精心选取,取出的意思。主句的谓语动词是过去时态,所以从句用would。故选择答案B。
19. He said he __________ in 1988.
A .has born B. had been born C. had born D. was born
【答案】D
【解析】句意:他说,他是1988年出生的。直接引语陈述的是一个过去的事实,间接引语的时态根据情况可以变化或者不变化,主句的谓语动词虽然用的是过去时态,但在过去陈述的是发生在过去的事实,时态不用转换。故选择答案D。
20. The girl ________ she ________ sorry for being late for class.
A. said that;is B. said what;was
C. said that;was D. said what;is
【答案】C
【解析】句意:女孩说她为上课迟到感到抱歉。其直接引语是“I'm sorry for being late for class.”转为间接引语,遵从一主、二宾、三不变的原则,从句的第一人称随主句的主语变化。谓语动词随人称的变化而变化,并转为过去时态。故选择答案C。
