    語法 Grammar in use
    間接引語:祈使句的轉(zhuǎn)述
    (1)在第15課與第39課的語法中,我們分別學(xué)習(xí)了陳述句和疑問句變?yōu)殚g接引語的情況,它們基本上都是引述詞(say, tell 等)+(間接賓語)+從句:

    He asked if Mr. Gilbert's operation had been successful.

    (2)祈使句的情況有所不同。表示命令、請求、建議的祈使句通常可用適當(dāng)?shù)膭?dòng)詞后跟不定式來轉(zhuǎn)述。常用的這類動(dòng)詞有
    advise, ask, tell, order, command, warn, invite等,這些動(dòng)詞后往往有間接賓語:
    "Remeber to turn off all the lights"she said.
    她說:“記著把所有的燈關(guān)掉?!?BR>    She reminded / told me to turn off all the light.
    她提醒/告訴我把所有的燈關(guān)掉。
    轉(zhuǎn)述這類祈使句的否定形式時(shí),必須將not放在帶to的不定式之前:
    I advise you not to buy her anything.
    我建議你別給她買任何東西。
    (3)動(dòng)詞suggest和insist用于轉(zhuǎn)述建議、要求時(shí),其結(jié)構(gòu)為suggest/insist+that從句(用should):
    Why don't they sell the flat?
    他們?yōu)槭裁床话涯翘追孔淤u掉?
    He suggests that they should sell the flat.I hope they won't sell the flat.
    他建議他們把那套房子賣掉。我希望他們不把那套房子賣掉。(suggest后面的that可省略;不論suggest是現(xiàn)在時(shí)還是過去時(shí),后面都用should)
