将所给直接引语变为间接引语,每空一词:
"I never eat meat." he said.
He said that ( ) never ( ) meat.
后一空,是填ate,还是eats?或者说,这道题的从句部分,时态要变成一般过去时吗?
这个,如果是我来做这道题,就变过去时。但是现在一些人出题,要求保持一般现在时。所以我的回答只能是:都可以。
这个应该可以归为客观事实的吧?
这是什么客观事实
能跟地球围着太阳转相比吗
我记得是说,客观规律 才是用一般现在时。
比如物理学、化学的规律
天文学的规律
像这种个人的行为习惯,算不上。
那如果直接引语是“The baby was born in 2010”呢?
这是算得上“客观事实”了吧?
我们一般只有遇到“客观规律”,规律,规律,才会考虑用一般现在时。
你说的这个The baby was born in 2010,这是有明确时间的,in 2010,所以不管是直接引语还是间接引语,都是用一般过去时。
The simple present tense is used to state fact, how things exist or behave (always/ permanently).
一般现在时用于陈述事实(规律),即事物的存在或行为状况(总是如此,永远如此)。
Few, if any, adverbs are used for this "timeless tense". The action or state is endless, enduring, everlasting.
对于这种“无需时间的时态”,几乎不需要什么副词。行为或状态是无穷尽的,持久的,永远的。

"I never eat meat." he said. -->

从意思上说,这能解释的通,但说实话,跟上面的例子一样,这样表达,需要非常具体、往往并不常见的场景。我觉得一般来说,这种改法是不准确、不恰当的。
