Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
精典范例
There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
--英国作家Oscar Wide
写作时,切忌这样写:
The four major reasons for the landslide victory were: the candidates personal popularity, the enthusiastic support of his party, his stand on budget issues, and the general mood of the nation.
这样用的问题在哪?问题出在冒号用于动词were之后,你可能在英语为母语的人写的报纸或流行刊物中见到这类用法,但它在学术写作中不被大学教师所接受。 在学术论文中,主语补足语或直接宾语应紧跟在冒号之后。主语补足语的修饰词使原本存在句子中的问题得到解决:冒号不应紧跟在动词之后。
上面例题中,取得压倒性胜利的四个原因是明显的:the candidates personal popularity, the enthusiastic support of his party, his stand on budget issues, and the general mood of the nation.
破折号的用法
用于表示句子正常语序中突然或出人意料的中断。如果意义明确,它也可用于代替括弧或逗号。通常,破折号特别强调它所隔开的部分。
