A 表示时间的副词及副词短语的变化:
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 hed seen her two days before.
他说他是两天前看到她的。
Ill 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。
Im 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 daystime.
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,Ill 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:
Im 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,Ill be here again tomorrow.
在火车站他说:我明天还会来这儿。相当于:
He said that hed 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,Come 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。
