使用 say 和 tell 引述他人说的话
Say 和 tell 意义相近。
He said that she's very nice but a little shy. 他说她很善良,但有点腼腆。
He told me that she's very nice but a little shy. 他告诉我她很善良,但有点腼腆。
正如您可能注意到的,tell 通常与 me、you 或 us 等词搭配使用,而 say 无需搭配这些词。
He said he would tell us the news next week. 他说他下周告诉我们消息。
如果您希望语气更随便,在 say 或 tell 引导的句子中就不需要 that。
He said he would let us know. 他说他会告诉我们。
He told me the news about the move. 他告诉了我搬迁的消息。
如果您引述 will 或 can 之类的情态动词引导的句子,将情态动词变为过去时形式。
John told us he would check. John 跟我们说他会检查。
Tandy said she could finish the work herself. Tandy 说她独自能完成工作。
