Reported Requests
请求句转述
There's more! What if someone asks you to do something (in a polite way)? For example:
reported如果有人（礼貌地）请求你做事情，那我们该如何转述呢？先看一些例子。Direct speech（直接引语）: Close the window, please请关窗户。
Or: Could you close the window please? 你可以关窗户吗？
Or: Would you mind closing the window please? 你介意关窗户吗？
All of these requests mean the same thing, so we don't need to report every word when we tell another person about it. We simply use 'ask me + to + infinitive':
以上所有请求指的都是同一件事，所以我们不必原封不动地把每个词转述给别人。我们只需要使用“ask sb to do sth”这个动词短语结构即可：
Reported speech（转述引语）: She asked me to close the window. 她请我关窗户。Here are a few more examples:
To report a negative request, use 'not':
对于含有否定的要求，转述时使用“ask sb not to do sth”结构：
Direct speech（直接引语）: Please don't be late.
Reported speech（转述引语）: She asked us not to be late.
Reported Orders
命令句转述
And finally, how about if someone doesn't ask so politely? We can call this an 'order' in English, when someone tells you very directly to do something. For example:
Direct speech: Sit down! 坐下！
In fact, we make this into reported speech in the same way as a request. We just use 'tell' instead of 'ask':
最后，我们来看一下这种情况：有人让你做事情时不是以礼貌的语气，而是一种命令，那么在转述时，我们使用“tell sb (not) to do sth”结构。比如说：
Direct speech（直接引语）: Sit down! 坐下！
Reported speech（转述引语）: She told me to sit down. 她要求我坐下。
Time Expressions with Reported Speech
转述引语中时间词的处理
Sometimes when we change direct speech into reported speech we have to change time expressions too. We don't always have to do this, however. It depends on when we heard the direct speech and when we say the reported speech.
有时，我们在将直接引语变成转述引语时也需要对原句的时间词进行变化。当然，这取决于转述发生的时间（相对于直接引语发生的时间）。
For example:
It's Monday. Judy says "I'm leaving today".
If I tell someone on Monday, I say "Judy said she was leaving today".
If I tell someone on Tuesday, I say "Judy said she was leaving yesterday".
If I tell someone on Wednesday, I say "Judy said she was leaving on Monday".
If I tell someone a month later, I say "Judy said she was leaving that day".
比如：
现在是周一上午。Judy说：“我今天就要离开了。”
如果我在周一下午（当天）的时候告诉别人，那么我应该说：“Judy说了她今天要离开。”
如果我在周二（第二天）的时候告诉别人，那么我应该说：“Judy说了她昨天要离开。”
如果我在周三的时候告诉别人，那么我应该说：“Judy说了她周一要离开。”
如果我在一个月后告诉别人，那么我应该说：“Judy说了她那天要离开。”
