[即时演练4]
(1)句型转换(每空一词)
①The teacher said to the boy, "Open the door, please!"
→The teacher told the boy to open the door.
②His father said to him, "Don't leave the window open when you are out."
→His father told him not to leave the window open when he was out.
③"Please explain why you're late," the boss said.
→The boss asked him to explain why he was late.
(2)She asked her little brother ________ tell their mother about it.
A.don't B.not
C.didn't D.not to
解析:选D 如果直接引语是祈使句,变间接引语时常变为不定式作宾语补足语的复合宾语。ask sb. not to do sth."要求某人不要做某事"。
三、直接引语变成间接引语时要特别注意几个变化
1.人称的变化
人称变化记忆口诀:
"一随主,二随宾,第三人称不更新"
一随主:引号内的第一人称变间接引语后与主句主语的人称保持一致。
She said, "I'm a senior partner in a law firm."
→She said that she was a senior partner in a law firm.
她说她是法律事务所的资深合伙人。
二随宾:引号内的第二人称变间接引语后与主句宾语的人称保持一致。
He said to Lily, "You must make good use of the chance."
→He told Lily that she must make good use of the chance.
他对李莉说必须好好利用这次机会。
第三人称不更新:引号内的第三人称在变间接引语后人称不变。
She said to me, "They want to purchase a new car."
→She told me that they wanted to purchase a new car.
她对我说他们想买一辆新车。
