1.标出表顺序的数字和字母(如: (1) 、(2) 等)
2.用来表示其中插入的或附加的解释成分。这个插入成分可以是单词、词组或句子。但要注意,括号会削弱强调作用,因此,如果要强调插入的句子成份,则要用破折号。

九、引号Quotation Marks()
引号分单引号(single quotation marks) 和双引号(double quotation marks) .单引号只用在一个直接引语中所含有的另一个直接引语上。

The frightened girl screamed ,Help!
The fellow only said ,Sorry !

问号、感叹号和破折号有时置于引号之内, 有时置于外号之外。如果所引内容本身是疑问句或感叹句或带有破折号, 问号、感叹号或破折号一般放在引号之内。否则,放在引号之外。
2. 标明短篇出版物的标题, 诸如杂志、报纸上的文章、短诗、短篇故事和整部书的某一章节。
Have you readThe Old Man and the Sea?
