Shall we…如何变为间接引语

老师答疑

刘老师：

▲“Shall we go by bike?” he asked.——首先断定，直接引语部分是一个请求句，不是将来时态。
▲在直接引语和间接引语的变换时，应根据句子内容而不是形式。所以，含有请求、建议的疑问句，可用ask sb. to do sth./suggest doing/advise sb.to do sth.等形式进行转述。
1. “Would you mind opening the door?” he asked. →He asked me to open the door.他让我开门。
2. “Why not going out for a walk?” he asked us.→He advised us to go out for a walk.他建议我们出去散步。
3. “Shall we go by bike?” he asked.→He advised us (them) to go by bike.
4. “Shall we go by bike?” he asked.→He asked us (them) to go by bike.
▲He asked if（或 whether）they should go by bike. 变为这样的间接引语是不可以的。因为宾语从句成了典型的一般疑问句。其次，原句shall不表示将来时，而且变成should更是毫无道理。
▲在直接引语和间接引语的变换时，应根据句子内容而不是形式。所以，含有请求、建议的疑问句，可用ask sb. to do sth./suggest doing/advise sb.to do sth或request that等形式进行转述。根据“Shall we go by bike?” he asked.的意思要求，变间接引语用request最佳：
He requested that they (should) go by bike.

黎老师：

“Shall we go by bike?” he asked.的间接引语应该是：He asked if （或 whether） they should go by bike.这里的should不是表示“应该”的情态动词，而是助动词shall的过去时，因为把直接引语变为间接引语时，如果主句的谓语动词是过去时（如asked），就应该把直接引语中的shall改为should，而且要把直接引语中的we改为they。
