人称变更怎么办？ “一主①、二宾②、三不变”③
若是自引自的话， 听者不变称不变。
注：
①“一主”指在直接引语中的第一人称变为间接引语时，要和主句中的主语在人称上保持一致。如：
He sad，“I am forty，”→He said that he was forty．
②“二宾”指直接引语中的第二人称变为间接引语时，要和主句中的间接宾语保持人称一致。如：
He said，“Are you coming tomorrow？”→He asked me if I wascoming the next
day．
③“三不变”指直接引语中的第三人称变为间接引语时，人称不变。如：
He said，“Is she an English teacher？”→He asked if she was an English
teacher．
另外注意直接引语为复数，引述者主语为单数，间接引语主语相应变复数。如：
He said，“Are you interested in English？”→He asked me/us if Iwas/we were
interested in English
