由于同样的理由,在间接说法中也仍然要保留直接说法的字序,如:
1704794726
1704794727
She said to me,“ What is the matter with him?”一句改成直接说法时,照规则是要把问句改成平叙句,即 What the matter with him is.但因主语太长,就不得不保留原来的形式,而说成:
1704794728
1704794729
She asked me what was the matter with him.(她问我他有何困难。)
1704794730
1704794731
感叹句也并不老是照平叙句一样先说主语后说动词的,有时因种种关系也可以改变字序,照问句一样把动词放在主语前去,例如:
1704794732
1704794733
What a poor fool was I!(我做了一件多么愚笨的事呀!)
1704794734
1704794735

1704794739

1704794740
1704794741
至于说 How bright are its waters, playing over the stones!(在石头上流动的水波,多么的光耀!)就是为要避免把修饰语的 playing,说成动词的 are playing 的关系而将字序颠倒的。

英文疑难详解 156.I don’t think 的句型
1704794748
1704794749
“我想他不会来。”译成英文为 I think he will not come.但据说英文的惯用语法,应说成 I don’t think he will come.才对。不知照中文直译的句子是否错误?
1704794750
1704794751
【解答】普通确实是要以 I don’t think he will come,来代替 I think he will not come.这似乎不及中国话的合逻辑,不过,英文已成惯用, I don’t think…早构成一种句型,不容推翻的了。在英美名作家的笔下,我们也常发现有把否定放在 think 之后的,但似乎都有其特殊的理由。例如:
