语法 Grammar in use

间接引语:祈使句的转述

(1)在第15课与第39课的语法中,我们分别学习了陈述句和疑问句变为间接引语的情况,它们基本上都是引述词(say, tell等) (间接宾语) 从句:
He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries.
他告诉我,公司支付不起这么庞大的工资开支。(间接陈述句)

He asked if Mr. Gilbert's operation had been successful.
他问吉尔伯特先生的手术是否成功。(间接疑问句)

(2)祈使句的情况有所不同。表示命令、请求、建议的祈使句通常可用适当的动词后跟不定式来转述。常用的这类动词有advise, ask, tell, order, command, warn, invite等,这些动词后
往往有间接宾语。转述这类祈使句的否定形式时,必须将not放在带to的不定式之前:

I advise you not to buy her anything.
我建议你别给她买任何东西。

(3)动词suggest和insist用于转述建议、要求时,其结构为suggest/insist that从句(用should):
She suggests that we leave early tomorrow.
她建议我们明天早走。
