Reported Speech

Advanced reporting verbs and their patterns

简介

除了"say"和"tell"之外，英语还有很多报告动词能传达原话者的态度和方式：claim、admit、deny、suggest、insist、warn、promise、threaten……还有更多。

每个动词都有自己的语法搭配，选对动词能给你的转述增添微妙的色彩。"She admitted making a mistake"和"She said she made a mistake"传达的感觉相差很大。

中文里我们说"她承认了""她声称""她坚持认为"，类似地，英语通过选择不同的报告动词来精确传达说话者的态度。掌握了这些，你的间接引语就能从基础变得高级。
