牛津实用英语语法 320间接引语中的命令、请求、劝告

分类: 英语学习方法 

直接命令:

He said,‘Lie down,Tom.’

他说:“躺下,汤姆。”

间接命令:

He told Tom to lie down.

他叫汤姆躺下。

间接命令、请求及劝告通常由表示命令、请求、劝告的动词+ 宾语+不定式(=宾语+不定式结构)来表示。

A 可用下列动词:advise,ask,beg,command,encourage,en- treat,forbid,implore,invite,order,recommend,remind,re- quest, tell, urge,warn。

(注意: say不包括在这些动词中,关于用say转述的间接命令/请求,参见第321节。)

He said,‘ Get your coat,Tom!’

他说:“汤姆,去穿你的外衣!”相当于:

He told Tom to get his coat.

他叫汤姆去穿外衣。

‘You had better hurry,Bill!’she said.

她说:“比尔,你最好快点!”相当于:

She advised Bill to hurry.

她劝比尔快点。

B 否定意义的命令、请求等通常用not+不定式转述:

‘Don’t swim out too far,boys,’I said.

我说:“孩子们,不要游出太远。”相当于:

I warned/told the boys not to swim out too far.

我警告孩子们,叫他们不要游出太远。

forbid也可用来表示禁止,但多用于被动语态,不太用于主动语态。

C上面所示动词要求加宾语+不定式,即它们后面必须直接跟说话的对方,不带介词。(另参见第89节。)在直接命令、请求等中常不提及说话的对方:

He said,‘Go away!’

他说:“走开!”

当转述这样的命令或请求时,必须加上名词或代词:

He told me/him/her/us/them/the children to go away.

他叫我/他/她/我们/他们/孩子们走开。

ask与上述A所示的动词有点差别,ask的后面也可直接跟某些动词(如 see, speak to, talk to)的带 to的不定式:

He said,‘Could I see Tom,please?’

他说:“我可以见汤姆吗?”相当于:

He asked to see Tom.

他要求见汤姆。(参见第283节。)

但这和ask+宾语+不定式类型的请求有很大不同。

ask和beg后面都可以跟不定式的被动式:

‘Do,please,send me to a warm climate,’ he asked/begged.

他要求/请求道:“请务必将我送到气候暖和的地方去。”相当于:

e asked/begged us to send him to a warm climate.

他要求/请求我们将他送到气候暖和的地方去。

He asked/begged to be sent to a warm climate.

他要求/请求把他送到气候暖和的地方去。

D表示间接命令、请求及劝告的例句

注意:直接命令通常用祈使句表示,但要求和忠告可用多种方法来表示(参见第283节至第287节):

‘If I were you,I’d stop taking tranquillizers,’I said.

我说:“如果我是你,我就停止眼用镇静药。”相当于:

My friends warned me not to leave my car unlocked as there had been a lot of stealing from cars.

我的朋友警告我不要忘了锁车门,因为已发生了许多起车内物品被盗事件了。

will you...类型的句子通常被看做请求,因此可以用 ask进行转述:

‘Will all persons not travelling please go ashore,’he said. 他说:“不是随船旅行的人上岸。”相当于:

He asked all persons not travelling to go ashore.

他要求所有不是随船旅行的人上岸。

但如果 will you句式的句子是用严厉或烦躁的口气说出,而且

省略了please,则可用tell或order进行转述:

‘Will you be quiet!/Be quiet,will you!’he said.

他说:“请安静!/请安静,好吗?”相当于:

He told/ordered us to be quiet.

他命令我们安静。
