direct speech
When we report people's words, thoughts, beliefs etc, we can give the exact
words (more or less) that were said, or that we imagine were thought. This
kind of structure is called 'direct speech' (though it is used for reporting
thoughts as well as speech).

".... 成是“补充说明”，..." -> Yeshttp://tinyurl.com/z2533d7 "... it's parenthetical.."Quirk的文法书有"尝试"用更精确/细部的文法标签去归类/解释(pushdown ...-element: 一个子句里头又包一个子句的变化现象)。只是单纯想要理解这用法/意思的话，前者"quickand dirty tips"讲的就够了

囧...不要太习惯把省略当作分析文法的工具啊网页那句重点就在于说明是Peter等人认为是Sir Fragalot的 你把这边去掉了当然看不出意义啊(应该说 省略前要想过哪些地方是必要传达的资讯)

月经文 类似问题问到烂了 都是看不懂更不知道去哪找答案

够正规了

“取巧”的不是写法 而是用“补充方法”去理解这种句子Peter, Paul, and Mary heartily believe (that) the manis Sir Fragalot. 今天要强调 the man 改写一下就变上面的你把the man往前移 believe就跟is碰在一起看不懂的人就傻眼 "阿一个句子怎么会有两个动词"

一、二句还是用补充说明较容易懂;第二句改用That子句感觉语意有点怪，而且较正确文法要将who改成whom

纯粹是 that were said, or that were thought. 中间差个 we imagine 来区分报导“想法”与“说” 差在想法可能是 we imagine 的。我又错字了: 插入 insert

都告诉你怎么来的 你还是坚信你想的 那还要讲什么 对牛弹琴1.we can give the exact words.2.we imagine (that) the words were thought.把两句并成一句就是原始的句子

插入语 end

第二句头你加了that，整句变成只是个名词子句。没人这样表达的
