通常,我们在处理名词前两个或多个词的组合时,可用连字符。
例:know-how
ready-to-wear
faster-than-expected production
life-form
state-of-the-art technology
medium-range missiles
当这一群词用作形容词时,仅对它们所修饰的名词之前的词使用连字符。
It was a fast-paced city life.
即City life is fast paced.
Bring me the up-to-date report.
即Bring me up to date.
还有,以-ly结尾的副词不用连字符。
Wrong: We do not work with financially-unstable organizations.
Correct: We do not work with financially unstable organizations.
Wrong: We are required to attend all regularly-scheduled meetings.
Correct: We are required to attend all regularly scheduled meetings.
问:你赞成省略缩略语的中间或末尾的句点吗?
答:这是一个关于写作风格和品味的问题,有些编者对缩略语用句点;有些则不用。用与不用取决于你。我的建议是,一旦你决定采用哪种方式,就不宜改变。专有名词中的句点应该保留,姓名之间的圆点应予保留。
