    Jeremy Hampden has a large circle of friends and is very popular at parties. Everybody admires him for his fine sense of humor —— everybody, that is, except his six-year-old daughter, Jenny. Recently, one of Jeremy's closest friends asked him to make a speech at a wedding reception. This is the sort of thing that Jeremy loves. He prepared the speech carefully and went to the wedding with Jenny. He had included a large number of funny stories in the speech and, of course, it was a great success. As soon as he had finished, Jenny told him she wanted to go home. Jeremy was a little disappointed by this but he did as his daughter asked. On the way home, he asked Jenny if she had enjoyed the speech. To his surprise, she said she hadn't. Jeremy asked her why this was so and she told him that she did not like to see so many people laughing at him!

·知识拓展

直接引语 变 间接引语（宾语从句）

'Stady to lunch,' he insisted    (对我说的)

    ·He insisted that I should stay to lunch.    因为原句是祈使句，所以要用情态动词 should

'Come with me,' he suggested.

    ·He suggested that I should go with him.

'Open the door for me please,’she said to me.

    ·She asked me to open the door for her.    直接使用 ask to 来避免祈使句变间接引语的麻烦

    ·say 变 ask，因为 say 通常接说话的内容，不能接人，想要接人就用 ask

'Don't make so much noise,' she said to the children.

    ·She asked/told them not to make so much noise.

    ·如果祈使句是否定句，那么使用 ask to 要在中间加 not
