CÂU GIÁN TIẾP – REPORTED SPEECH

 

* Định nghĩa:

- Câu trực tiếp (directed speech): sự lặp lại chính xác những từ mà người nói đã sử dụng; lời nói trực tiếp được đặt trong cặp dấu (‘’) hoặc (“”) và sau động từ chính có dấu (,) hoặc (:).

Ví dụ: He said: “What are you doing, Tom?’’.

             “You are good-looking!” Mary said to Tim.

- Câu gián tiếp (indirected/reported speech): là lời tường thuật lại ý vủa người nói, nhiều trường hợp ta không thể dung chính xác những gì người nói đã nói.

Ví dụ: He asked Tom what he was doing.

            Mary said to Tim that he was good-looking.

 

I. Những thay đổi trong lời nói gián tiếp.

       Khi chuyển từ câu trực tiếp sang gián tiếp, ta cần lưu y những thay đổi sau đây.

1. Thì của câu.

 

Câu trực tiếp

Câu gián tiếp

1

 Hiện tại đơn

 Quá khứ đơn

2

 Hiện tại tiếp diễn

 Quá khứ tiếp diễn

3

 Hiện tại hoàn thành

 Quá khứ hoàn thành

4

 Hiện tại hoàn thành tiếp diễn

 Quá khứ hoàn thành tiếp diễn

5

 Quá khứ đơn

 Quá khứ hoàn thành

6

 Quá khứ tiếp diễn

 Quá khứ hoàn thành tiếp diễn

7

 Quá khứ hoàn thành

 Giữ nguyên

8

 Quá khứ hoàn thành tiếp diễn

 Giữ nguyên

9

 Tương lai đơn

 would + V

10

 Tương lai tiếp diễn

 would be + V_ing

11

 Tương lai hoàn thành

 would have + VPII

12

 Tương lai hoàn thành tiếp diễn

 would have been + V_ing

 

→ Vậy, ta thấy rằng có nguyên tắc chung về việc thay đổi động từ: ta lùi động từ 1 thì.

- Riêng các thì tương lai chỉ cần thay đổi: will/shall thành would/should.

- Các “modal verbs”: can → could, may → might, must → had to.

! Chú ý một số trường hợp không cần lùi thì khi chuyển sang câu gián tiếp:

      - Khi động từ tường thuật không chia ở quá khứ mà chia ở hiện tại hoặc tương lai thì động từ trong câu gián tiếp giữ nguyên.

      - Khi câu trực tiếp thể hiện một chân lí , một sự thật hiển nhiên, một hành động lặp đi lặp lại mà người nói vẫn còn sống thì ta không cần lùi thì.

      - Nếu lúc tường thuật điểm thời gian đưa ra trong câu vẫn chưa đến thì ta không cần lùi thì và giữ nguyên trạng từ thời gian đó.

      - Khi tường thuật câu điều kiện loại II và III ta không lùi thì nhưng khi tường thuật câu điều kiện loại I ta phải lùi thì.

      - Không lùi thì của mệnh đề sau ‘”wish” khi câu điều ước với “wish” thể hiện một mong ước không có thật.

 

2. Thay đổi về đại từ nhân xưng, tính từ sở hữu và đại từ sở hữu, đại từ chỉ định.

The day before yesterday

Two days before

Next month / week / year

The month / week / year after

II. Cách tường thuật các câu cụ thể.

1. Câu trần thuật (Statements).

     Với câu trần thuật ta dung động từ ‘say’ (said) và ‘tell’ (told) để tường thuật. Lưu ý đến các thay đổi khác về thì và ngôi, trạng từ thời gian và địa điểm.

     Ta có thể sử dụng “that” (hoặc không) sau động từ tường thuật, nếu dung ‘tell’ thì sau đó phải có ‘somebody’.

Ví dụ:

-           “I am happy to know that John won the contest yesterday.”, said Alan.

        → Alan said (that) he was happy to know that John had won the contest the day before / the previous day.

-            “Madam Lee will be here at 7 p.m this afternoon.”, said the secretary to me.

        → The secretary told me that Madam Lee would be there at 7 p.m that afternoon.

-            “My son has learnt English for 4 years now.”, said the actress.

         → The actress said that her son had learnt English for 4 years then.

 

2. Câu hỏi (Questions).

a. Câu hỏi Có / Không (Yes / No questions) và câu hỏi lựa chọn (Alternative questions).

     Khi chuyển câu hỏi ở 2 loại này sang câu gián tiếp, cần áp dụng các quy tắc chung ngoài ra còn cần thay đổi:

    - Thêm động từ dẫn: asked / wanted to know / wonder.

    - Trật tự từ trong mệnh đề chính chhuyeern về dạng câu trần thuật tức là: Chủ ngữ đứng trước động từ, trợ từ.

    - Nếu câu gốc có trợ từ “do, does, did” thì ta bỏ.

    - Không dùng liên từ “that” trong tường thuật câu hỏi, lược bỏ dấu (?).

    - Câu hỏi Có / Không ta dùng “if / whether” sau động từ dẫn; đối với câu hỏi lựa chọn chỉ dùng “whether”.

Ví dụ:

-         “Do you live in London?”, Tom asked Sarah.

          → Tom asked Sarah if/whether she lived in London.

-         “Do you like tea or coffee?”, he said.

          → He wanted to know whether I liked tea or coffee.

 

b. Câu hỏi có từ để hỏi / Câu hỏi Wh- (Wh- questions).

     Cách chuyển câu hỏi dạng này gần giống với câu hỏi phần a, tuy nhiên ta không mượn thêm if / whether mà giữ nguyên từ để hỏi.

Ví dụ:

-         “Why did you learn English?”, asked he.

         → He asked me why I had learned English.

-          “Who is your boss?”.

         → She wanted to know who my boss was.

-           “What are you going to do tomorrow?”, said my collegue.

          → My collegue asked me what I was going to do the next day/ the following day.

Trong trường hợp câu trực tiếp gồm cả câu tường thuật và câu hỏi thì khi chuyển sang gián tiếp, ta chuyển mỗi phần một cách bình thường, dùng liên từ “and” hoặc “but” để nối các vế.

Ví dụ:

           “I have left my watch at home. Can you tell me the time?”

         → He said he had left his watch at home and asked me to tell me the time.

 

3. Câu mệnh lệnh.

              Khi chuyển câu mệnh lệnh từ trực tiếp sang gián tiếp ta thường mược thêm các động từ tường thuật sau:

- asked (yêu cầu)

- commanded (ra lệnh)

- told (bảo)

- requested (yêu cầu)

- ordered (yêu cầu)

- demanded (đòi hỏi)

               Hình thức mệnh lệnh của động từ trong câu trực tiếp đổi thành “to V”, cụ thể:

a. Câu mệnh lệnh khẳng định (yêu cầu ai đó làm gì):

Trực tiếp:              V + O + … .

Gián tiếp:               S + Vtường thuật + sb + to V.

Ví dụ:  

-           “Put your toys away, darling!”, said the mother to her son.

          → The mother asked her son to put his toys away.

-           “Find the map!”, said the captain.

           → The captain commanded us to find the map.

b. Câu mệnh lệnh phủ định.

Trực tiếp:              Don’t + V + O + … .

Gián tiếp:               S + asked / told / ordered + sb + not to do sth.

Ví dụ:

-           “Don’t look at your computer screen too long!”, said my father.

           → My father told me not to look at my computer screen too long.

-            “Don’t go too fast! The road is slippery.”, said his friends.

           → His friends told him not to go too fast because the road was slippery.

 

! Lưu ý:

-  Nếu trong câu mệnh lệnh có “please”, khi chuyển sang câu gián tiếp ta lược bỏ.

-  Ngoài cấu trúc mệnh lệnh với “Vinf hoặc “Don’t Vinf” ta còn dùng:

    Would / Do you mind … ?

    Can / Could you … ?

→ Cần lưu ý khi chuyển sang gián tiếp vì cách chuyển đều giống nhau.

Ví dụ:

-          “Please wait for a minute.”

         → He asked me to wait for him for a minute.

-           “Would you mind bringing me some water?”, she said.

         → She told me to bring her some water.

-           “Don’t shut the door, please!”, he said

         → He asked us not to shut the door.

 

4. Câu gián tiếp với “to V”.

      Tường thuật câu sử dụng “to V” hay “V_ing” là loại tường thuật khó nhất vì ta phải xem ý người nói muốn gì để chọn động từ dẫn (reporting verbs) cho thích hợp.

      Ta thường dùng cấu trúc với “to V” để tường thuật lại: lời từ chối, nhắc nhở, báo cáo, yêu cầu, đề nghị, hy vọng, lời hứa, lờ đe dọa, lời khuyên, sự cấm đoán, lời mời, …

            Có 2 cấu trúc gián tiếp với “to V”:

a. S + Vdẫn + (not) to V.

Vời các động từ dẫn như:

agree (đồng ý)

decide (quyết định)

claim (tuyên bố)

demand (đòi hỏi)

hope (hy vọng)

offer (đề nghị)

promise (hứa)

refuse (từ chối)

threaten (đe dọa)

Ví dụ:

-         “I’ll listen to whatever you say, I promise.”, said Tim.

         → Tim promised to listen to whatever I said.

-          “I will call the police if you don’t get out of my house.”, said Mary to the strange man.

         → Mary threatened to call the police if the strange man didn’t get out of her house.

-           “Shall I help you with that heavy box?”, said Tommy.

         → Tommy offered to help me with that heavy box.

-            “Ok, I will repair the car for you.”, said Dean’s father.

          → Dean’s father agreed to repair the car for him.

b. S + Vdẫn + sb + (not) to V.

Với các động từ dẫn như:

asked (yêu cầu)

tell (bảo)

allow (cho phép)

advise (khuyên nhủ)

beg (van xin, van nài)

encourage (cổ vũ, động viên)

forbid (cấm)

warn (cảnh báo)

invite (mời)

instruct (hướng dẫn)

recommend (đề xuất)

remind (nhắc nhở)

request (yêu cầu)

force (ép buộc)

urge (thúc giục)

want (muốn)

….

Ví dụ:

-          “You should believe your teacher.”, Tim said.

          → Tim advised me to believe my teacher.

-           “Go and wash your hands, Jimmy!”, said Jimmy’s mother.

          → Jimmy’s mother told him to go and wash his hands.

-           “Ok, you can go out tonight but remember to go home before 10.”, said my father.

           → My father allowed me to go out that night and reminded me to go home before 10.

 

! Lưu ý:

-     Một số câu hình thức là câu hỏi nhưng thực chất là câu đề nghị, câu mời:

       Can you ….. ? / Could you ….. ? / Would you like ….. ? / ….

       Khi chuyển sang câu gián tiếp ta dùng động từ dẫn “ask”, “tell” hoặc “invite”.

-      Cấu trúc “If I were …..” hoặc trong câu có “should”, “ought to”, “had better” thực chất là câu lời khuyên nên khi chuyển sang câu gián tiếp dùng động từ dẫn là “advise” hoặc “encourage”.

 

5. Câu gián tiếp dùng V_ing.

      Câu gián tiếp dùng V_ing thường dùng để tường thuật: lời xin lỗi, lời cảm ơn, chúc mừng, thú nhận, …. .

       Có 3 trường hợp cho câu tường thuật dùng V_ing:

a. S + Vdẫn + V_ing.

S +

 admit (thừa nhận)

+ V_ing

 

deny (phủ nhận)

 

 

suggest (đề nghị)

 

Ví dụ:

-        “I broke the vase this morning, mommy.”, said the little boy.

        → The boy admitted having broken the vase that morning.

-         “Why don’t we go to the museum this Sunday?”, Kathy said.

        → Kathy suggested going to the museum that Sunday.

-          “I didn’t steal your money.”, said the shopkeeper.

        → The shopkeeper denied having stolen my money.

b. S + Vdẫn + preposition (giới từ) + V_ing.

S +

insist on (khăng khăng, nài nỉ được làm gì)

dream of / about (mơ làm gì)

think of / about (nghĩ về điều gì)

object to (phản đối việc gì)

complaint about (phàn nàn về việc gì)

+ V_ing

Ví dụ:

-         “Let me pay the meal, please.”, said the young man.

        → The young man insisted on paying the meal.

-          “I don’t like it when people criticize someone without proof.”, said the president.

        → The president objected to criticizing someone without proof.

-          “I’ve had enough, the service I’ve received is very poor. ”, said the old man.

        → The old man complained about having received / receiving the poor service.

c. S + Vdẫn + sb + preposition + V_ing.

       Khi muốn nhấn mạnh tính chất hoàn thành của hành động mà ta muốn tường thuật thì sau những cấu trúc ta sử dụng “having + VII” thay vì “V_ing”.
