عندما يقول صديقك: «أنا متعب»، وتريد أن تنقل كلامه لشخص ثالث بعد ساعة، لن تقول «أنا متعب» بل «قال إنه متعب». في هذا التحويل تغيّرت الضمائر وربما الزمن. هذا ما نسميه في الإنجليزية الكلام المنقول (Reported Speech)، أو الكلام غير المباشر (Indirect Speech). وهو مهم في الحياة اليومية وفي كتابة التقارير والأخبار. نتعلم هنا قواعد التحويل.
الكلام المباشر والكلام المنقول
الكلام المباشر (Direct Speech): نقل كلام المتكلم كما قاله بين علامتي تنصيص: - She said, "I am tired."
الكلام المنقول (Reported Speech): نقل المعنى بأسلوبنا دون علامات تنصيص، مع تغيير بعض العناصر: - She said that she was tired.
لاحظ تغيير I إلى she وتغيير am إلى was. كلمة that اختيارية بعد said.
قاعدة تغيير الأزمنة (Backshift)
إذا كان فعل النقل (said / told) في الماضي، نرجع الزمن خطوة إلى الوراء:
| الكلام المباشر | الكلام المنقول |
|---|---|
| Present Simple | Past Simple |
| Present Continuous | Past Continuous |
| Present Perfect | Past Perfect |
| Past Simple | Past Perfect |
| will | would |
| can | could |
| may | might |
أمثلة: - "I like pizza." ← He said he liked pizza. - "I am reading a book." ← She said she was reading a book. - "I have finished." ← He said he had finished. - "I went to Oran." ← She said she had gone to Oran. - "I will call you." ← He said he would call me. - "I can swim." ← She said she could swim.
ولا نغير الزمن إذا كان الكلام حقيقة عامة أو إذا كان فعل النقل في الحاضر: - She says, "I am happy." ← She says she is happy. - The teacher said, "The earth goes round the sun." ← The teacher said the earth goes round the sun.
تغيير الضمائر
نغير الضمائر بحسب المعنى والمتكلم والمخاطب: - "I love my country," he said. ← He said he loved his country. - "You are my friend," she told me. ← She told me I was her friend. - "We are ready," they said. ← They said they were ready.
وعليك أن تسأل: من يتكلم؟ ومع من؟ وفي أي نقطة تنقل الكلام؟
تغيير ظروف الزمان والمكان
عند نقل الكلام في زمان أو مكان مختلفين تتغير هذه الكلمات:
| الكلام المباشر | الكلام المنقول |
|---|---|
| today | that day |
| tonight | that night |
| yesterday | the day before |
| tomorrow | the next day / the following day |
| now | then |
| ago | before |
| this | that |
| these | those |
| here | there |
| next week | the following week |
| last week | the week before |
مثال: "I will see you tomorrow," he said. ← He said he would see me the next day.
Say و Tell
sayلا يتبعه مفعول به مباشر إلا معto: He said to me that he was busy.tellيتبعه مفعول به مباشرة: He told me that he was busy.
ولا نقول He told that... بل He told me that....
نقل الأسئلة
عند نقل السؤال: - نستعمل جملة خبرية، لا جملة استفهامية، فلا نقلب الفعل المساعد. - نحذف علامة الاستفهام. - نغير الزمن والضمائر كما سبق.
أسئلة بكلمات الاستفهام (wh-questions) نبقي كلمة الاستفهام: - "Where do you live?" ← She asked me where I lived. - "What are you doing?" ← He asked what I was doing.
أسئلة نعم أو لا (yes/no questions) نستعمل if أو whether:
- "Do you like tea?" ← She asked me if I liked tea.
- "Are you coming?" ← He asked whether I was coming.
نقل الأوامر والطلبات
نستعمل told / asked + object + to + base verb:
- "Close the door," he said. ← He told me to close the door.
- "Please help me," she said. ← She asked me to help her.
وللنهي نضع not قبل to:
- "Don't touch it!" ← He told me not to touch it.
أفعال النقل الأخرى
بدل said وtold يمكن استعمال أفعال أدق تدل على نوع الكلام، مثل:
- suggest: He suggested going to the beach.
- promise: She promised to come early.
- warn: The teacher warned us not to be late.
- advise: He advised me to rest.
- ask وexplain وanswer وrefuse.
أخطاء شائعة
- نسيان تغيير الضمائر:
She said that I am tired.والصواب:she was tired. - إبقاء ترتيب السؤال:
He asked where did I live.والصواب:where I lived. - استعمال
toldدون مفعول:He told that.... - نسيان تغيير ظروف الزمان:
yesterdayتصبحthe day before.
