將直接引語變?yōu)橛蓆hat引導(dǎo)的賓語從句跟在引述動詞之后(that也可省略)。如:“I don’t love her.”he says.他說。如:“我不愛她。”→He says that he doesn’t love her.他說他不愛她。
注意:
若引述動詞用的是say to sb,則通常改為tell sb。如:“It’s a secret.”he said to me.他對我說。如:“這是秘密。”→He told me that it was a secret.他對我說那是秘密。(2)若直接引語是兩個并列的陳述句,要注意在第二個賓語從句前加連詞that。如:He says,“I like singing and I want to be a singer.”他說。如:“我喜歡唱歌,我想當歌手。”→He says that he likes singing and that he wanted to be a singer.他說他喜歡唱歌,想當歌手。
在此種情況下,引導(dǎo)第一個賓語從句的that有時可以省略,但引導(dǎo)第二個賓語從句的that通常不省略,以免誤解。
