直接引语变为间接引语的时间状语变化

直接引语变间接引语时，有些时间状语根据情况也要相应的改动：如将now改为then，将today 改为that day，将tonight改为that night，将yesterday改为the day before，将this month改为that month，将last week改为the week before，将three years ago改为three years before，将tomorrow改为the next day，将next year改为the next year，等等。如：

He said, “It is too late now.” 他说：“现在太迟了。”

→He said that it was too late then. 他说当时已太迟了。

He said, “It is very cold today.” 他说：“今天很冷。”

→He said that it was very cold that day. 他说那天很冷。

She said, “I’ll be back tomorrow.” 她说：“我明天回来。”

→She said that she would be back the next day. 她说她第二天回来。

以上变化有时应视情况而定，若在当时转述，now不必改为then；若在当天转述，today, yesterday, tomorrow等不必改为that day, the day before, the next day等；若在当周转述，this week, last week 不必改为that week, the week before；若在当年转述，this year, last year 不必改为that year, the year before 等。
