GMAT英文写作:如何准确使用标点符号

   本文特意整理了多数英文标点的标准使用方式,并作了中文译作。便于收藏,写作时可以随时参考学习哦。

  Quotation marks - 引号("")

   a. Use quotation mark to enclose what someone says.

  - 直接引用别人的话

   b. Do not use quotation marks with indirect quotations.

   - 使用引号("")时请勿放入非直接引用的话(比如他人转述或编辑过的内容)

   c. If a quotation is half direct and half indirect, do not use quotation marks unless you want to emphasize the quotation

   - 如果不是完全直接引用的原话,请不要使用引号(""), 除非你想刻意强调它。

   d. Thoughts or questions in someone’s mind (in other words, ideas not spoken out loud) do not need quotation marks.

   - 某人心里的想法或疑问(换句话说,没有直接说出来的话)并不需要引号("")。

  e. Use quotation marks for definitions.

  f. Use quotation marks for sayings.

  - 某个概念的定义,和名言谚语,使用引号("")。

   g. Use quotation marks for labels, markings, signs, etc.

  - 标签、标记、记号等。

   例句:Label this container “good toys” and that one “broken toys.”

   h. Use quotation marks to indicate the clever or silly use of a word.

  - 使用引号暗示某些词更聪明,或故意显得傻气的用法。

  标点符号和双引号的位置:

   1. Commas and periods always go inside the quotation mark.

  - 英文标点中,逗号(, )和句号(. )永远在双引号("")的里面。

   2. Colons and semicolons always go outside the quotation mark.

  - 冒号(: )和分号(; )永远在引号("")的外面。

   3. If a quotation is within a quotation, use single quotation marks around it.

  - 如果引用的话中还有引用的内容,那么使用单引号(' ')。

  Ellipses 省略号(…)

   a. Use an ellipsis to indicate that some words have been left out of a quotation.

  - 使用省略号说明引用的话中,有一部分被省略了。

   b. Use an ellipsis to indicate that something unwritten came earlier.

  - 使用省略号说明,此前还有段话没写出来。

  例句: “… I do,” said Mimi.

   c. Use an ellipsis to indicate a sentence trailing off.

   - 使用省略号提示,还有一句话“未完待续”。(比如,某一页书的最后一句放了省略号)

   Imagine this as the final sentence of a book chapter—it entices you to turn the page to read what happens next:

   Tom and Carlos were camping in the woods, asleep in their tent, when they heard it—the sound…

   d. Use an ellipsis to indicate a long, slow break.

  - 暗示有一段时间较长、较缓慢的暂停。

   Long, slow break: There it was again…that soft but eerie sound.

  Fast, crisp break:

   There it was again - that loud, crashing sound.

   4. If only yes or no is quoted, you do not have to use quotation marks.

  - 如果引用的只有Yes或No,不必使用双引号("")。
