Як передати чужі слова?

7 хвилини читання

Передача інформації за допомогою непрямої мови на англійській мові – це один з основних показників вашої ерудиції та освіченості. Існує дійсно величезна кількість варіантів, як донести повідомлення мовця, не вдаючись до прямої мови і банального say. Ви зможете не тільки урізноманітнити своє мовлення, але й надати їй тонке емоційне забарвлення: додати нотки гніву, радості, впевненості або ж розчарування. Для передачі непрямої мови існує безліч варіантів. У даній статті ми приділимо особливу увагу дієсловам. Зверніть увагу: мало знати слово (тут: дієслово) і його переклад, слід також звернути увагу на конструкцію, яка з ним вживається. Зібрана інформація була систематизована і подана у вигляді таблиці для кращого запам’ятовування. Отже, давайте ознайомимося.

У даній таблиці ми виділяємо п’ять основних схем передачі непрямої мови (Паттернів / Patterns) за допомогою дієслів. У першій колонці стоїть безпосередньо саме дієслово, у другій – переклад його на українську мову, далі – приклад прямої мови, і в останній колонці – варіант передачі репліки мовця за допомогою згаданого дієслова. Слід також звернути увагу, що в деяких схемах присутні «квадратні дужки». Це означає, що елемент не є обов’язковим. Таблиця складена таким чином, що ви можете самостійно перевіряти, наскільки добре засвоїли матеріал. Наприклад, повторювати переклад дієслів, закривши першу колонку, спробувати передати пряму мову задопомогою непрямої, закривши останню колонку і т. д. Тепер приступимо безпосередньо до нашої таблиці:
