第三部分：课程

REPORTED SPEECH (Ⅰ)怎样转述别人的话(Ⅰ)
转述别人的话，有两种说法，一种说法是利用别人的原话，也就是用直接引语，例如：
The announcer said: "The boys ARE lost."
另一种说法是用间接引语，例如：
The announcer said the boys WERE lost．
HOW TO MAKE AN INDIRECT STATEMENT怎样使用间接引语
1．句子开头可以用：
He/She/They Said...
He/She/They told me/us...
2．从句可以用that来引导。例如：
The announcer said (that) the boys were lost．
That 一词，一般只用于正式的书面语，口语里可以省略。
3．在间接引语里，时恋要有相应的变化。
is→was
are→were
may→might
can→could
will→would
won't→wouldn't
例如:
He said, "They may be sheltering in a cave."
He said (that) they might be sheltering in a cave.
He said, "We'll use a helicopter."('ll = will)
He said (that) they'd use a helicopter('d = would)
He said, "We can get one straightaway."
He told me (that) they could get one straightaway.

CONVERSATIONAL DEVICES

Apparently

在广播里有这样一句话：
Apparently the area is difficult to search．
这句话是说话的人根据别人提供的情况作出的判断。
注意：
这里转述的只是听到的情况，而不是别人的原话，因此用词可以与原话有很大不同。说话的人认为自己是在说明情况，而不是转述别人的话，因此动词的时态和原话一样，不改变。
Apparently 一词在句中可放在不同的位置。最常见的是句首和句末。例如：
Apparently the area is difficult to search．
The area is difficult to search, apparently．
PRONUNCIATION CORNER英语口语中的连读
在说英语的时候，要注意词与词之间的连续。英语口语往往避免在元音前停顿。我们已经熟悉以下几种情况的连读：
a)以辅音结尾的词与下面以元音开始的词连读，如：come in，a lot of 。
b)以[i:]、[ai]、[ei]、[ɔi]结尾的词与下面以元音开始的词之间用微弱的类似[j-]的音连读，例如：the East，my aunt，they are，employ。
c)以[u:]、[əu]、[au]结尾的词与下面以元音开始的词之间用微弱的类似[w-]的音连读，例如：go eat, go away, now and then。
d)以字母r结尾的词与下面以元膏开始的词之间用[r]连读，如：their aunt，our own, her uncle。
在这一讲里，有这样一句话：
The area is difficult to Search.
这句话体现了一条规则：以[ə]或[ɔ:]结尾的词，与下面以元音开始的词之间，虽然没有字母r，却要加一个[r]音。这个读法严格说来是不正确的，然而几乎所有说英语的人都是这样说的，例如：saw it, China and Australia.

第四部分：练习

请把下列句子中的直接引语变为间接引语。

Example: She said, "We'll do our best to find I the boys."(She told him...)
Answer: She told him they'd do their best to find the boys.
1. He said, "Seven schoolboys are overdue on a one-day hike." (He told us…)
2. She said, "They aren't carrying any food." (She said...)
3. He said, "A helicopter is going to join the search." (He told them...)
4. He said, "The .area may be difficult to search." (He told them....)
5. He said, "You can ring the police." (He told her...)
6. The policeman said, "We'll find the boys soon." (The policeman told her...)
请和两位朋友按照上面的句子练习怎样转述别人的话。甲向乙说一句话，乙用间接引语向丙转述。然后轮换。
