语法 Grammar in use
直接引语和间接引语
直接引语就是直接引用说话人原来所说的话；间接引语就是原话的转述。直接引语放在引号里，间接引语是把说话人的原话变成宾语从句。
间接引语中，宾语从句中的动词与主句中的主要动词在时态上需要维持一致。通常来讲，主要动词用目前时，间接引语中可用目前时（包含一般目前时、目前进行时、目前完成时）和以后时。如：
She says she's got a headache.
她说她头痛。
He says he's staying at a Youth Hostel.
你说他正住在一家年轻人招待所。
He says he has sold his house.
他说他已卖掉了房屋。
把直接陈述改为间接引语时，谓语动词形式的变化体目前人称上。如：
He says: I hope you are all well.
他说:我期望你们都身体健康。
He says he hopes we/they are all well.
他说他期望大家／他们都身体健康。
The girl says: I have finished my homework.
那个女孩说:她已完成了家庭作业。
The girl says that she has finished her homework.
那个女孩说她已完成了家庭作业。
