<一> 例句
She said that she could wait another day.
她說(shuō)她可以再等一天。
<二> 語(yǔ)法分析
間接引語(yǔ)是用自己的話來(lái)引述別人的話,被引用的部分長(zhǎng)城是引用動(dòng)詞的賓語(yǔ)。除了say, reply等詞外,還有很多動(dòng)詞可以引導(dǎo)間接引語(yǔ)。在多數(shù)情況下,引語(yǔ)都由連詞that來(lái)引導(dǎo),有時(shí)可以省略。把直接引語(yǔ)變成間接引語(yǔ)時(shí),要注意人稱(chēng)和時(shí)態(tài)的變化。

(1)They replied that they were going by plane.

語(yǔ)法分析:被引用的部分常常是引用動(dòng)詞的賓語(yǔ)。
(2)I protected that I had no view of that sort.

語(yǔ)法分析:有很多動(dòng)詞,如feel, guess, object, explain等都可以引導(dǎo)間接引語(yǔ)。

語(yǔ)法分析:在多數(shù)情況下,that可以省略。
