He said,‘I bought this pearl/these pearls for my mother.’
他说:“这颗/这些珍珠是给我母亲买的。”相当于:
He said that he had bought the pearl/pearls for his mother.
他说这颗/这些珍珠是给他母亲买的。
this,these作代词用时可转述为it,they/them:
He showed me two bullets.‘I found these embedded in the panelling,’he said.
他把两颗子弹头拿给我看。“我发现这两颗子弹头嵌在护壁板里,”他说。相当于:
He said he had found them embedded in the panelling.

He said,‘We will discuss this tomorrow.’
他说:“我们明天讨论这件事。”相当于:
He said that they would discuss it/the matter the next day.
他说他们要在第二天讨论它/那件事。
this,these(形容词或代词)可以用于表明选择,或用于把一些东西与另一些东西区别开来。这时用the one(s)near him等来转述,或可以把话换一个方法说清楚:
‘I′ll have this(one),’he said to me.
他对我说:“我要这个。”相当于:
He said he would have the one near him./He pointed to/touched/showed me the one he wanted.
他说他要靠近他的那一个。/他把他想要的那个指/摸/拿给我看。

314 其中的时间及地点表达法

A 表示时间的副词及副词短语的变化:
==================================
  ABC Amber CHM Converter v6。22
  Trial version
==================================
例句如:
‘I saw her the day before yesterday,’he said.
他说:“我是前天看到她的。”相当于:
He said he′d seen her two days before.
他说他是两天前看到她的。
‘I′ll do it tomorrow,’he promised.
他答应道:“这件事我明天就做。”相当于:
He promised that he would do it the next day.
他答应第二天就做这件事。
‘I′m starting the day after tomorrow,mother,’he said.
他说:“妈妈,我后天动身。”相当于:
He told his mother that he was starting in two days′time.
他告诉他妈妈他两天后动身。
She said,‘My father died a year ago.’
她说:“我爸爸一年前去世了。”相当于:
She said that her father had died a year before/the previous year.
她说他父亲在前一年去世了。
B 但如果说话和转述发生在同一天,则不必作时间上的改变:
At breakfast this morning he said,‘I′ll be very busy today.’
今天早餐时他说:“今天我会很忙。”相当于:
At breakfast this morning he said that he would be very busy today.
今天早餐时,他说他今天会很忙。
C 如果在说话的一两天之后才转述,当然要作合乎逻辑的修正。如星期一杰克对汤姆说:
I′m leaving the day after tomorrow.
我打算后天动身。
如果汤姆在第二天(星期二)转述这句话,他会说:
Jack said he was leaving tomorrow.
杰克说他打算明天动身。
如果汤姆在星期三转述这句话,他可能会说:
Jack said he was leaving today.
杰克说他打算今天动身。
D here 可能转述为there,但所指的是什么地方必须要很清楚才可这样用:
At the station he said,‘I′ll be here again tomorrow.’
在火车站他说:“我明天还会来这儿。”相当于:
He said that he′d be there again the next day.
他说他第二天会再到那儿去。
通常here需用某种适当的短语来代替:
She said,‘You can sit here,Tom.’
她说:“汤姆,你可以坐在这里。”相当于:
She told Tom that he could sit beside her etc.
她告诉汤姆他可以坐在她的旁边等等。
但是He said,‘e here,boys’(他说:“到这儿来,孩子们”)一般转述为:
He called the boys.
他叫孩子们来。

316 say,tell及其他可替代使用的引导动词

A say和tell与直接引语连用
1 say可放在陈述句之前,也可以位于陈述句之后:
Tom said,‘I′ve just heard the news.’/‘I′ve just heard the news,’Tom said.
汤姆说:“我刚刚听说这个消息。”
say位于陈述之后时,say和充当主语的名词可用倒装语序:
‘I′ve just heard the news,’said Tom.
say+to+说话的对方这种结构是可以用的,但它必须跟在直接引语的后面,而不能放在直接引语的前面:
‘I′m leaving at once,’Tom said to me.
汤姆对我说:“我马上就动身。”
这里不能用倒装语序。
2 tell要求说出说话的对方:
Tell me.
告诉我。
He told us.
是他告诉我们的。
I′ll tell Tom.
我会告诉汤姆的。
不过,在tell lies/stories/the truth这些结构中不一定要提到说话的对方:
He told(me) lies.
他(跟我)撒谎。
I′ll tell(you)a story.
我会给(你)讲故事的。
tell和直接引语连用时,必须位于陈述之后:
‘I′m leaving at once,’Tom told me.
汤姆告诉我说:“我马上就要动身。”
tell和主语不能用倒装语序。
B say和tell与间接引语连用
间接陈述常位于say或tell+宾语结构之后。say+to+宾语结构在这里是可以用的,但不如tell+宾语这一结构普遍:
He said he′d just heard the news.
他说他刚刚听到这个消息。
He told me that he′d just heard the news.
他告诉我他刚刚听到这个消息。
请注意tell…how/about这一结构:
He told us how he had crossed the mountains.
他告诉我们他是怎样翻越那些大山的。
He told us about crossing the mountains.
他告诉我们关于翻越那些大山的事。
He told us about his journeys.
他告诉我们他的旅途经历。
(关于say和tell用于表示间接命令,参见第320节与第321节。)
C 其他常用的引导陈述话语的动词有:
add*牋牋牋牋牋牋牋?plain*牋牋牋?point out
admit*牋牋牋牋牋牋?deny*牋牋牋牋牋牋?promise*
answer*牋牋牋牋牋 explain *牋牋牋牋?protest*?
argue*牋牋牋牋牋牋?grumble*牋牋牋牋 remark*
assure+宾语牋牋 object*牋牋牋牋牋?remind+宾语
boast*牋牋牋牋牋牋?observe*牋牋牋牋 reply*
这些动词都可以与直接引语以及间接引语连用。
与直接引语连用时,它们位于直接陈述之后:
‘It won′t cost more,’Tom assured us.
汤姆向我们保证说:“不会多花钱。”
主语是名词时,上表中带有星号的动词都可以放在主语之前:
‘But it will take longer,’Bill objected/objected Bill.
“但需要更长的时间,”比尔提出反对意见说。
‘It′ll cost too much,’Jack grumbled/grumbled Jack.
“这会花去太多的钱,”杰克嘟嚷着。
它们都可以引导间接陈述。
动词之后必须加that:
Tom assured us that it wouldn′t cost more.But Bill objected/pointed out that it would take longer.
汤姆向我们保证不会花更多的钱。但比尔提出反对意见说,那样会需要更长的时间。
D murmur,mutter,shout,stammer,whisper既可位于直接引语的陈述句或疑问句之前,也可位于其后,并也如上面所示那样,作主语的名词可放在动词之后:
‘You′re late,’whispered Tom/Tom whispered.
汤姆低声耳语说:“你们迟到了。”
这些动词可引导间接引语,通常需要加上that:
Tom whispered that we were late.
汤姆低声耳语说我们迟到了。
当然,还有许多其他描写声音或音调的动词,如:bark,growl,roar,scream,shriek,snarl,sneer,yell等。但这些动词引导直接引语的情况要多于引导间接引语的情况。

317 间接引语中的问句

直接问句:
He said,‘Where is she going?’
他说:“她要上哪儿去?”
间接问句:
He asked where she was going.
他问她要上哪儿去。
A 把直接问句变为间接问句时,需作下列改变:
时态、代词、所有格形容词、时间副词和地点副词的变化与陈述句中的变化相同。
动词的疑问式变成陈述式;在间接问句中不加问号(?):
He said,‘Where does she live?’
他说:“她住在什么地方?”相当于:
He asked where she lived.
他问她住在什么地方。
如直接问句针对主语提问,则此种变化显然是没有必要的(参见第55节):
‘Who lives next door?’he said.
他说:“谁住在隔壁?”相当于:
He asked who lived next door.
他问谁住在隔壁。
‘What happened?’she said.
她说:“发生了什么事?”相当于:
She asked what had happened.
她问发生了什么事。
B 如果引导动词是say,则必须换为表示询问的动词,如ask,in- quire,wonder,want to know等:
He said‘Where is the station?’
他说:“车站在哪里?”相当于
