在这个部分,我会分成6个小节来分析标点符号的使用问题,大家可以根据自己的不同情况有选择的阅读。
句点(Full Stop / Period,。)
问号(Question Mark,?)
感叹号(Exclamation Mark,!)
逗点(Comma,,)
冒号(Colon,:)
分号(Semicolon,)
连字符(Hyphen,-)
连接号(En Dash,)
破折号(Em Dash,)
括号(Parentheses,小括号( )中括号[]大括号{})
引号(Quotation Marks,双引号单引号)
缩写及所有格符号(Apostrophe,)
英语标点符号的用法很麻烦,我给大家找了点资料希望大家喜欢,对朋友有帮助
一、。句点
1.句点用于当一句话完全结束时。
2.句点也可以用于英文单词的缩写,如 Mrs., Dr., P.S. 等。但要注意的是当缩写的字母形成了一个单词的时候就不要使用句点。如 IBM, DNA 等。
二、?问号
问号要用在一个直接的问句,而不是间接的。
如 How will you solve the problem? 是正确的用法,但用在 I wonder how you will solve the problem?就不对了,应该使用句点而不是问号。
另外,在客气的用语中,也是用句点而不是问号。
如 Will you please give me a call tomorrow.
三、! 感叹号
感叹号用于感叹和惊叹的陈述中,在商业写作中要注意感叹号的应用,因为不恰当的使用会显得突兀及不稳重。
四、;分号
1.与中文一样,分号用于分隔地位平等的独立子句。在某些情况下,使用分号比使用句点更显出子句之间的紧密联系,另外分号也经常与连接副词 thus, however, therefore一起使用(放在这些词语之前)。如 I realize I need exercise; however, Ill lie down first to think about it.
2.在句子中如果已经使用过逗点,为了避免歧义的产生,就用分号来分隔相似的内容。如 The employees were Tom Hanks, the manager; Jim White, the engineer; and Dr. Jack Lee.
需要注意的是:一个完整的句子以大写字母开始,以句点结束。写英文时用逗点代替句点、分号、冒号或破折号叫逗号错,这正是中国学生所要避免的。请比较下列例句:
误:It was raining hard, they could not work in the fields.
(注意:上面句子中划横线的部分是两个不同的主语,而且逗点前后的句子是完整的单独拿出来都能代表一个完整的意思。因此,用逗号违反了英文规定,即一个句子只能有一套主干。)
正:It was raining hard; they could not work in the fields.
It was raining hard. They could not work in the fields.
It was raining so hard that they could not work in the fields.
They could not work in the fields because it was raining hard.
It was raining hard, so they could not work in the fields.
As it was raining hard, they could not work in the fields.
误:The essay is poorly organized, there is no central idea.
正:The essay is poorly organized; there is no central idea.
The essay is poorly organized: there is no central idea.
