After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad. He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left. I knew that my turn had come.

'Mr.Harmsworth,' I said in a weak voice.

'Don't interrupt,' he said.

Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year!

三、課文和語(yǔ)法

1、賓語(yǔ)從句-直接引語(yǔ)變間接引語(yǔ) (間接引語(yǔ)可參考劍橋中級(jí)語(yǔ)法書Unit46-Unit47)

1) 賓語(yǔ)從句定義：句子做賓語(yǔ)

2）直接引語(yǔ)和間接引語(yǔ)

直接引語(yǔ)：直接引用別人的原話，句子用引號(hào)引用?！癐 am busy,” she said.

間接引語(yǔ)： 變換人稱，根據(jù)情況變換時(shí)態(tài)，從句前加that連詞 ?that 可省略

She said she was busy.

3) 直接引語(yǔ)變間接引語(yǔ)注意

人稱的變化

從句時(shí)態(tài)的變化

添加連詞that (that 沒(méi)有任何意思，可省略)

4）直接引語(yǔ)變間接引語(yǔ)從句的變化

5)直接引語(yǔ)中的一般過(guò)去時(shí)knew/did/saw 等在間接引語(yǔ)中可保持不變，也可變成had done形式

Tom said(that) he woke up feeling ill, so he didn’t go to work.

或Tom said (that) he had woken up feeling ill, so he hadn’t gone to work.

6)在間接引語(yǔ)中，并不是都要改變動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)，如果轉(zhuǎn)述的事實(shí)仍然成立或者有效，就不用改變動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)了

Tom said ‘New York is more lively than London’

Tom said that New York is(was) more lively than London.(紐約仍然充滿活力，只是說(shuō)話的情景變了)

Ann said ‘I want to go to New York next year.’

Ann said she wants(wanted) to go to New York next year. 安仍想明年去紐約。

以上情況，將動(dòng)詞改成過(guò)去時(shí)也是正確的

如果轉(zhuǎn)述的事情與事實(shí)不符，就一定要用過(guò)去時(shí)

7）在要講明說(shuō)話對(duì)象是，用tell, 否則用say

tell sb that …

say that…

可以用say sth to sb.

Ann said goodbye to me and left.

8）tell /ask sb to do sth

在間接引語(yǔ)中，特別是tell或ask（表命令或請(qǐng)求）之后，可以用動(dòng)詞不定式

直接：’Drink plenty of water,’ the doctor said to me

The doctor told me to drink plenty of water.

9) sb said (not ) to do sth

Paul said not to worry about him.

2. I knew that my turn had come

It’s my turn to do sth.

Mary and Helen took turns at sitting up with their sick mother

take turn at doing.

3. Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year.

extra adj.額外的，外加的

On Sunday, I usually get some extra sleep.

4. 過(guò)去將來(lái)時(shí)

1)構(gòu)成 would/should + do?should 只用于第一人稱

否定 wouldn’t?shouldn’t

一般疑問(wèn)would/should 提句首

2)用法

a. 從過(guò)去看將來(lái)，常用語(yǔ)賓語(yǔ)從句

b. was/were going to do 表示的過(guò)去將來(lái)時(shí)，常用來(lái)表示過(guò)去曾經(jīng)打算或計(jì)劃將要做的事情

She said she was going to buy a new bike

c. was/were + 不定式（to do ）表過(guò)去計(jì)劃或安排將要做某事

She told me that she was going to plant some trees in the yard.

d. was/were about + 不定式 表即將要發(fā)生的動(dòng)作

The bus was about to leave.

四、習(xí)慣用法
