      本指南介绍了使用句点、逗号、冒号、分号、问号和感叹号的基本规则。每种标点后面都有一个解释句和例句,以供参考。


      Period
      句号


      Use a period to end a complete sentence. A sentence is a group of words containing a subject and predicate. In British English a period is called a "full stop".
      用句号结束一个完整的句子。句子是包含主语和谓语的一组词。在英国英语中,句号叫做“句号”。


      Examples:
      例子:


      He went to Detroit last week./They are going to visit.
      他上周去了底特律。/他们要去参观。


      Comma
      逗号


      There are a number of different uses for commas in English. Commas are used to:
      英语中逗号有许多不同的用法。逗号用于:


      Separate a list of items. This is one of the most common uses of a comma. Notice that a comma is included before the conjunction "and" which comes before the final element of a list.
      将项目列表分开。这是逗号最常用的用法之一。请注意,逗号包含在列表最后一个元素之前的连词“and”之前。


      Examples:
      例子:


      I like reading, listening to music, taking long walks, and visiting with my friends./They would like books, magazines, DVDs, video cassettes, and other learning materials for their library.
      我喜欢看书,听音乐,散步,和朋友们一起参观。/他们喜欢书,杂志,DVD,录像带和其他学习材料为他们的图书馆。


      Separate phrases (clauses). This is especially true after a beginning dependent clause or a long prepositional phrase.
      单独的短语(从句)。尤其是在从句或长介词短语之后。


      Examples:
      例子:


      In order to qualify for your certificate, you will need to take the TOEFL exam./Although he wanted to come, he wasn't able to attend the course.
      为了获得证书,你需要参加托福考试。/尽管他想来,但他没能参加这门课。


      Separate two independent clauses that are connected by a conjunction such as 'but'.
      用连词如“but”连接的两个独立从句分开。


      Examples:
      例子:


      They wanted to purchase a new car, but their financial situation would not allow it./I'd really enjoy seeing a film this evening, and I'd like to go out for a drink.
      他们想买一辆新车,但他们的经济状况不容许。/今晚我真的很喜欢看电影,我想出去喝一杯。


      Introduce a direct quote (as opposed to indirect speech i.e. He said he wanted to come ...).
      介绍一个直接引语(与间接引语相反,他说他想来…)。


      Examples:
      例子:


      The boy said, "My father is often away during the week on business trips."/His doctor replied, "If you don't stop smoking, you run the risk of a heart attack."
      男孩说:“我父亲经常出差在外。”/他的医生回答说:“如果你不戒烟,你就有心脏病发作的危险。”


      Separate appositives (a noun, or noun phrase) or non-defining relative clauses.
      单独的同位语(名词或名词短语)或不明确的关系从句。


      Examples:
      例子:


      Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, comes from Seattle./My only sister, who is a fantastic tennis player, is in great shape.
      比尔盖茨,世界上最富有的人,来自西雅图。/我唯一的妹妹,是一个出色的网球运动员,状态很好。


      Question Mark
      问号


      The question mark is used at the end of a question.
      问号用在问题的结尾。


      Examples:
      例子:


      Where do you live?/How long have they been studying?
      你住在哪里?/他们学习多久了?


      Exclamation Point
      感叹号


      The exclamation point is used at the end of a sentence to indicate great surprise. It is also used for emphasis when making a point. Be careful not to use an exclamation point too often.
      感叹号用在句子的结尾,表示非常惊讶。它也被用来强调时,提出一点。注意不要经常使用感叹号。


      Examples:
      例子:


      That ride was fantastic!/I can't believe he is going to marry her!
      那次旅行太棒了!/我不敢相信他会娶她!


      Semicolon
      分号


      There are two uses for a semicolon:
      分号有两种用法:


      To separate two independent clauses. One or both of the clauses are short and the ideas expressed are usually very similar.
      把两个独立的从句分开。其中一个或两个从句很短,表达的意思通常非常相似。


      Examples:
      例子:


      He loves studying; he can't get enough of school./What an incredible situation; it must make you nervous.
      他喜欢学习;他不能得到足够的学校教育。/多么不可思议的情况;这一定让你紧张。


      To separate groups of words that are themselves separated by commas.
      将本身由逗号分隔的词组分开。


      Examples:
      例子:


      I took a holiday and played golf, which I love; read a lot, which I needed to do; and slept late, which I hadn't done for quite a while./They plan to study German, for their travels; chemistry, for their work; and literature, for their own enjoyment.
      我度假打高尔夫球,这是我的爱好;我读了很多书,这是我需要做的;我睡得很晚,这是我很久没有做过的事了。/他们计划学习德语,旅行;化学,工作;文学,自娱自乐。


      Colon
      冒号


      A colon can be used for two purposes:
      冒号可用于两个目的:


      To provide additional details and explanation.
      提供额外的细节和解释。


      Examples:
      例子:


      He had many reasons for joining the club: to get in shape, to make new friends, to lose some weight, and to get out of the house./She gave notice for the following reasons: bad pay, horrible hours, poor relations with colleagues, and her boss.
      他加入俱乐部有许多理由:保持身材,交新朋友,减肥,离家出走。/她发出通知的理由如下:工资低,工作时间糟糕,与同事和老板关系不好。


      To introduce a direct quote (a comma can also be used in this situation).
      引入直接引语(在这种情况下也可以使用逗号)。


      Examples:
      例子:


      He announced to his friends: "I'm getting married!"/She cried out: "I never want to see you again!"
      他对朋友们说:“我要结婚了!”/她喊道:“我再也不想见你了!”
