Notes on the text課文注釋
1 Let's = Let us，常用於第一人稱的祈使句中，用來表示請求、建議、命令。
2 She told me she had just made a new film.她告訴我她剛拍完一部新片子。
這是間接引語的又一個例子，這句話中含有一個用過去時引述動詞的結構。如果我們對比一下Marsh小姐對記者說的話和報上刊載的記者的複述，就不難發現，間接引語的動詞時態往往要倒移。而這種倒移的普遍規則是:現在時變成過去時，現在完成時變成過去完成時。
3 I wonder why!我很想知道為什麼。
Lesson 134 He said he他曾說他 He told me he他曾告訴我說他

2．make another,再拍一部。
之後省略了film。
3．by our reporter = written by our reporter。

需改變時態的間接陳述句
間接引語裡常要改變時態，這是因為原來講的話與轉述這些話之間有一段間隔。選擇哪種恰當的形式取決於轉述者的著眼點。在間接引語裡通常並不確切地重複 講話者說過的話。轉述通常發生在過去，所以引述動詞通常是過去時。因此，轉述時從句的時態通常要「往回移」（back shift）。一條普遍的規則是：現在時變為過去時，過去時變為過去完成時。為過去時的情態助動詞和過去完成時在轉述時不變，因為不可能再往回移了。
使用間接引語主要是為了簡潔、緊湊地把說話內容轉述給第3者。請看下面直接引語變成間接引語時在時態等方面必須作出的相應變化：
（1）一般現在時改為一般過去時：
‘I'm thirsty,’she said.
「我渴了」她說。
She said she was thirsty.
她說她渴了。
（2）現在進行時改為過去進行時：
‘I'm having a rest,’ she told them.
「我正在休息」她告訴他們。
She told them she was having a rest.
她告訴他們說她當時正在休息。
（3）現在完成時改成過去完成時：
‘I've just made a new film,’ she told me.
「我剛完成一部新電影」她告訴我。
She told me she had just made a new film.
她告訴我說她剛完成一部新影片。
（4）一般將來時改成過去將來時（一般用would +動詞原形）：
‘I'll have to ask my husband,’she said.
「我得問問我丈夫」她說。
She said she would have to ask her husband.
她說她將得去問問她丈夫。
（5）情態動詞由現在時改成過去時或條件時態：
‘I can see you tomorrow,’she said.
「我明天可以見你」她說。
She said she could see me the next day.
她說她下一天可以見我。
‘I'll help you,’she said.
「我將幫助你」她說。
She said she would help me.
她說她將幫助我。
‘I may return at six o'clock,’ she told me.
「我可能6點鐘回來」她告訴我。
She told me she might return at six o'clock.
她告訴我說她可能6點鐘回來。
（6）為過去時或條件時態的情態助動詞不變：
‘I could see you tomorrow,’she said.
「我明天可能會見你」她說。
She said she could see me the next day.
她說她第2天會見我。
‘I would complain if I were you,’she told me.
「如果我是你的話，我會抱怨」她告訴我。
She told me she would complain if she were me.
她告訴我說，如果她是我的話她就會抱怨的。
