Lesson 39 Am I All Right ?
1、人称的转变
1）直接引语中的第一人称随主句主语变 如： He said，“I am very sorry.” ——>He said that he was very sorry. 2）直接引语中的第二人称随主句谓语变 如： “You should be more careful next time,” my father told me. ——> My father told me that I should be more careful the next time.
2、时态的转换 直接引语改为间接引语时，主句中的谓语动词 如果是过去时，从句（即间接引语部分）的谓语动词在时态方 面要作相应的变化，变成过去时范畴的各种时态（实际也是宾 语从句的时态要求），变化如下：
直接引语 间接引语 一般现在时 一般过去时 一般过去时 过去完成时 现在进行时 过去进行时 现在完成时 过去完成时 过去完成时 过去完成时 过去进行时 过去进行时 一般将来时 过去将来时
3）地点状语：here变成there She said, “I won't come here any more.” ——> She said that she wouldn’t go there any more. 4）动词：come变成go，bring变成take 5、直接引语变间接引语，句子结构的变化 1）陈述句。用连词that引导，that在口语中常省略。主 句的谓语动词可直用接引语中的said, 也可用told来代替， 注意，可以说said that, said to sb. that, told sb. that， 不可直接说told that,
如： He asked me, “Will you go to the station with me to meet a friend of mine this afternoon?”
——> He asked me whether I would go to the station with him to meet a friend of his that afternoon. 总之，人称的转换不是固定的，具体情况，具体对待，要符合 逻辑。
如： He said, “I went to college in 1994.” ——>He told us that he went to college in 1994. 4）当直接引语中有以when, while引导的从句，表 示过去的时间时， 如： He said，“When I was a child, I usually played football after school.” ——> He said that when he was a child, he usually played football after school. 5）当直接引语是客观真理或自然现象时，
3）直接引语中的第三人称不变
如： She said to her son, “She’ll check your homework tonight.”
——> She said to her son that she would check his homework that night.
4）人称的转换包括人称代词、物主代词和名词性物主代词等，
如：She asked, “Must I take the medicine?” ——> She asked if she had to take the medicine. 〔注〕：此处用had to代替must更好 8）此外转述中的 变化要因实际情况而定，不能机械照搬，如果当地转述， here不必改为there, 动词come不必改为go，如果当天转 述yesterday, tomorrow, this afternoon等均不必改变。
如： Our teacher said to us, “Light travels faster than sound.” ——> Our teacher told us that light travels faster than sound. 6）当引语是谚语、格言时， 如： He said，“Practice makes perfect.” ——>He said that practice makes perfect. 7）当直接引语中有情态动词should, would, could, had better, would rather, might, must, ought to, used to, need时
如： He said, “I have been to the Great Wall.” ——>He said to us that he had been to the Great Wall. He said, “I'll give you an examination next Monday.” ——> He told us that he would give us an examination the next Monday.（不可说told that） 2）直接引语为一般疑问句，（也称是否疑问句，）间接 引语用连词whether或if引导，原主句中谓语动词said要 改为asked（me/him/us等），语序是陈述句的语序，这 一点非常重要。
3、直接引语变成间接引语时，从句时态无 须改变的情况
1）当主句的谓语动词是一般现在时的时候， 如： He always says, “I am tired out.” ——>He always say时候， 如： He will say, “I’ll try my best to help you.” ——>He will say that he will try his best to help me. 3）当直接引语部分带有具体的过去时间状语时
