When we report what people say, we usually change the tense of the verbs to reflect that we are reporting – not giving direct speech. This pattern is followed when we report questions and there are also other important changes between direct questions and reported questions.
當(dāng)我們要轉(zhuǎn)述別人說的話,我們通常要改變動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)以表明這是轉(zhuǎn)述—不給出直接語氣。在我們表達(dá)轉(zhuǎn)述的疑問句的時(shí)候,這種模式同樣適用,還有一些其他的重要改變介乎直接疑問句和間接引語問句之間。

Yes/no questions
一般疑疑問句

Direct question:"Do you like working in teams?"
直接疑問句: “Do you like working in teams?”
Reported question:?He asked if I like working in teams.
間接引語問句: He asked if I like working in teams.
When we report yes/no questions we use ‘if’ or ‘whether’.
當(dāng)我們轉(zhuǎn)述一般疑疑問句的時(shí)候,我們用if或者whether
? Direct question:Did you enjoy the party?
直接疑問句: “Did you enjoy the party?”
Reported questionen:She asked me whether I’d enjoyed the party.
間接引語問句:She asked me whether I’d enjoyed the party.
The tense of the verb changes as it does in reported speech but we don’t use auxiliary verbs. The word order is the same as in an affirmative sentence.
隨著轉(zhuǎn)述的語氣改變,動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)也改變了,但是我們不使用助動(dòng)詞。在肯定句里,詞的順序是不變的。

Questions with a question word
帶疑問詞的疑問句

? Direct question:"What time does the train leave?”
直接疑問句: “What time does the train leave?”
Reported question:He asked what time the train left.
間接引語問句: He asked what time the train left.
When there is a question word (what, where, why, who, when, how) we use that question word in the reported question but there is no auxiliary verb and the word order is like an affirmative sentence (‘what time the train left’ not He asked me what time did the train leave.)
當(dāng)句子是帶疑問詞(what, where, why, who, when, how)的疑問句,我們?cè)陂g接引語問句里要用那個(gè)疑問詞,但是沒有去掉助動(dòng)詞,而單詞的順序要按照肯定句的模式。(是‘what time the train left’ 而不是 He asked me what time did the train leave.)

看看更多的例句:
? Direct question: “Who did you see?”
? Reported question: She asked me who I’d seen.
? Direct question: “Where did you go to school?”
? Reported question: He asked me where I’d gone to school.
? Direct question: “Why are you crying?”
? Reported question: She asked him why he was crying.

Notice that the reported questions do not have a question mark at the end.
注意,間接引語問句結(jié)尾不用問號(hào)。

Indirect questions
間接疑問句

Similar to reported questions are indirect questions.
跟間接引語問句相似的是間接疑問句。
? Can you tell me what time the train leaves? NOT Can you tell me what time does the train leave?
? I’d love to know what he said to her. NOT I’d love to know what did he say to her.
