Lets sell the house,said Tom.
汤姆说:我们把这房子卖了吧。
Lets not,said Ann.
安说:我们别卖。
可转述为:
Tom suggested selling the house but Ann was against it.
汤姆建议把房子卖了,但是安表示反对。
2 lets/let us有时表示对一种行动的号召,这时通常由urge/ad- vise+宾语+不定式结构表示
The strike leader said,Lets show the bosses that we are united.
罢工领导人说:我们给老板看看我们是团结一致的。相当于:
The strike leader urged the workers to show the bosses that they were united.
罢工领导人鼓动工人们给老板们看看他们是团结一致的。
B let him/them
1从理论上讲let him/them表示命令。但实际上说话人对受命人时常并没有发号施令的权威:
Its not my business,said the postman.Let the government do some- thing about it.
这事与我无关。邮递员说,叫政府去想办法吧。
这里说话人并不是在发号施令,而只是表示责任在谁身上,因此这类句子通常由ought/should来转述:
He said that it wasnt his business and that the government ought to/ should do something about it.
