练习材料:Lesson 15 Good news
The secretary told me that Mr. Harms worth would see me. I felt very nervous when I went into his office. He did not look up from his desk when I entered. After I had sat down,he said that business was very bad. He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left. I knew that my turn had come.
'Mr.Harms worth,' I said in a weak voice.
'Don't interrupt,'he said.
Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year!

5 间接引语:把某人所说的话告诉另一个人
引述动词say/tell,可能是现在时,常用过去时,间接陈述句的时态常受引述动词的影响
区别:say 后可跟或不跟to 讲话对象
tell 必须跟表示人称的宾语sb
若间接引述是现在时,那么其后的时态常与原来口头陈述句的时态同(转述刚刚说完的话)
若间接引述是过去时 ,那么间接引语的时态通常要“往回移”“倒移”(现在时变过去时,过去时变过去完成时)
