参考译文 

杰里米.汉普登交际甚广，是各种聚会上深受大家欢迎的人。人人都钦佩他那绝妙的幽默感 -- 人人，就是说，除他6岁的女儿珍妮之外的每一个人。最近，杰里米的一个最亲密的朋友请他在一个婚礼上祝词。这正是杰里米喜欢做的事情。他认真准备了讲稿，带着珍妮一道去参加了婚礼。他的祝词里面加进了大量逗人的故事，自然大获成功。他刚一讲完，珍妮就对他说她要回家。这不免使杰里米有点扫兴，但他还是按照女儿的要求做了。在回家的路上，他问珍妮是否喜欢他的祝词。使他吃惊的是，她说她不喜欢。杰里米问他为何不喜欢，她说她不愿意看到那么多的人嘲笑他！

　　语法 Grammar in use
间接引语：祈使句的转述
（1）在第15课与第39课的语法中，我们分别学习了陈述句和疑问句变为间接引语的情况，它们基本上都是引述词(say, tell 等)+（间接宾语）+从句：
He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries.
他告诉我，公司支付不起这么庞大的工资开支。（间接陈述句）
He asked if Mr. Gilbert's operation had been successful.
他问吉尔伯特先生的手术是否成功。（间接疑问句）
（2）祈使句的情况有所不同。表示命令、请求、建议的祈使句通常可用适当的动词后跟不定式来转述。常用的这类动词有
advise, ask, tell, order, command, warn⁴, invite等，这些动词后往往有间接宾语：
转述这类祈使句的否定形式时，必须将not放在带to的不定式之前：
I advise you not to buy her anything.
我建议你别给她买任何东西。
（3）动词suggest和insist用于转述建议、要求时，其结构为suggest/insist+that从句（用should）：
