简单的间接引语（Reported Speech）
转述别人说过的话，用的是间接引语。在国外遇到事、要跟人复述情况时，这一块特别管用。
"told" —— 告诉某人
told + 人 + that：
"He told me that the flight was delayed." → "他跟我说航班延误了。"
"She told us that we needed a visa." → "她告诉我们需要签证。"
told 后面必须有人：me、him、her、us、them。
"said" —— 说
said + that，后面不跟人：
"He said that the hotel was fully booked." → "他说酒店订满了。"
"She said the bus left at 8 am." → "她说公交八点开走了。"
that 常常可以省略：He said the hotel was full 也是对的。
"asked" —— 问
转述问句用 asked + if/whether：
"She asked if I had travel insurance." → "她问我有没有旅行保险。"
"He asked whether I could speak English." → "他问我会不会说英语。"
注意：间接引语里语序变回陈述句，不再倒装。
时态往后退一格
- The flight is delayed → He said the flight was delayed
- We can help you → She said they could help us
汉语转述别人的话，动词一个字都不用改：「他说航班晚点了」。英语则要把时态往回推一格，这是中文母语者最常漏掉的一步。
表达
- He told me that...转述别人对你说过的话
- She asked if...转述一个问句
- I'd like to report a problem正式反映一个问题
- Is there any way to get a refund?客气地问能不能退款
- I need to contact my embassy在国外遇到大事时
- To get ripped off我感觉自己被宰了。
- To be stranded我们被困在了机场。
- To report a theft我去警局报了失窃。
常见错误

He said me that...He told me that... / He said that...said 后面不直接跟人；要跟人就换成 told。
