It was a little bit rash to
因為羅德里克先生冒犯了你的母親
blow up Sir Roderick's house
我們就炸掉了他的房子
for insulting your mother
確實有些魯莽

It's time for a change of focus
該轉移一下學習重點了
Now we'll learn how to report people's exact words
現在我們要學習如何引用別人的原話
We use reported speech to show what someone has said
我們用間接引語來描述某人說了什么話
without using their exact words
而又不需要鸚鵡學舌
Note that reported speech is not enclosed in quotation marks
間接引語不需要用引號括起來
In reported speech
間接引語動詞
verbs generally move one tense back into the past
通常要向過去的方向移動一個時態
This is because we are usually talking about
這是因為我們談論的是
what someone said in the past
什么人在過去已經說了什么
For example
舉個例子
The actual speech
實際說的話是
I am going swimming Anna said
安娜說： 我要去游泳
The reported speech
間接引語是
Anna said that she was going swimming
安娜說她要去游泳
Let's see how reported speech
讓我們看看現實中
is used in the real world
是怎樣使用間接引語的吧
It's dialog time
來看情景對話

你替我弄到了那個故事嗎？

市長說
it wasn't likely for there to be any change in the future
未來不會有任何改變
He also said that
他還說
he made those decisions on his own free will
這些是完全由他個人意志做出的決定
