直接引语为陈述句时如何变为间接引语
将直接引语变为由that引导的宾语从句跟在引述动词之后(that也可省略)。若引述动词用的是say to sb,则通常改为tell sb。如:
“I’m very busy,” he said to me. 他对我说:“我很忙。”
→He told me that he was very busy. 他对我说他很忙。
注:若直接引语是两个并列的陈述句,要注意在第二个宾语从句前加连词that。如:
He says, “I’m tired and I want to have a rest.” 他说:“我累了,想休息一会儿。”
→He says that was tired and that he wanted to have a rest. 他说他累了,想休息一会儿。
在此种情况下,引导第一个宾语从句的that有时可以省略,但引导第二个宾语从句的that通常不省略,以免误解。
