有的直接引语可由陈述句+问句、问句+命令句、命令句+陈述句这三种结构组成，或兼有三种句式。
A 一般每一部分都需要有各自的引导动词：
I dont know the way．Do you？he asked．
他问：我不了解路。你知不知道？等于：
He said he didnt know the way and asked her if she did／if she knew it．
他说他不了解路并问她是不是了解。
Someones coming，be said．Get behind the screen．
有人来了。他说，躲到屏风后面去！等于：
He said that someone was coming and told me to get behind the screen．
他说有人来了，让我躲到屏风后面去。

她说：我去购物。给你捎点什么吗？等于：

我几乎听不见广播。他说，你能开大点儿声吗？等于：
He said he could hardly hear the radio and asked her to turn it up．
他说他几乎听不见广播，还让她开大点儿声。
B有时，后一个从句的内容能够帮助说明第一句。这里可以用as代替第二个引导动词：
Youd better wear a coat．It s very cold out， he said．
他说：你最好穿件外衣。外面非常冷。等于：
He advised me to wear a coat as it was very cold out．
他劝我穿件外衣，由于外面非常冷。

他告诫她不要单独一人从公园里穿行。由于已经有人在那里被打劫了。
C有时第二个引导动词可以是分词：
Please，please，dont drink too much！Remember that youll have to drive home，she said．
她说：求你了，别喝太多了！别忘了你还要开车回家呢。等于：
She begged him not to drink too much，reminding him that hed have to drive home．
她恳求他别喝太多了，并提醒他还要开车回家。
Lets shop on Friday．The supermarket will be very crowded on Satur－ day，she said．
她说：星期五去采购吧，星期六超级市场人太多了。等于：

（as在以上两上例句中都可以用。）
