在轉(zhuǎn)述對(duì)話的時(shí)候,我們常用動(dòng)詞say一次又一次地使用。而he said、she said的用法在重復(fù)的使用下也顯得乏味不堪。這種用法不僅老生常談,而且敘述性頁不強(qiáng)。為了更好地表達(dá)記敘文中的間接引語及其他陳述的情緒,使用表聲音的動(dòng)詞與副詞就顯得尤為重要。表聲音的動(dòng)詞與副詞能夠幫助表達(dá)出陳述、疑問和回復(fù)中所包含的動(dòng)機(jī),并向讀者傳達(dá)重要的信息。

每一個(gè)表聲音動(dòng)詞和副詞后面,都附有對(duì)其典型用法的簡要描述,以及一個(gè)例句來陳述怎樣用更具描述性的用法來替換he said、she said。
