將直接引語變?yōu)橛蓆hat引導(dǎo)的賓語從句跟在引述動(dòng)詞之后(that也可省略)。如:“I don’t love her.” he says. 他說。如:“我不愛她?!薄鶫e says that he doesn’t love her. 他說他不愛她。
  
注意:
若引述動(dòng)詞用的是say to sb,則通常改為tell sb。如:“It’s a secret.” he said to me. 他對(duì)我說。如:“這是秘密?!薄鶫e told me that it was a secret. 他對(duì)我說那是秘密。(2)若直接引語是兩個(gè)并列的陳述句,要注意在第二個(gè)賓語從句前加連詞that。如:He says, “I like singing and I want to be a singer.” 他說。如:“我喜歡唱歌,我想當(dāng)歌手?!薄鶫e says that he likes singing and that he wanted to be a singer. 他說他喜歡唱歌,想當(dāng)歌手。
  
在此種情況下,引導(dǎo)第一個(gè)賓語從句的that有時(shí)可以省略,但引導(dǎo)第二個(gè)賓語從句的that通常不省略,以免誤解。
