World, meet the exclamation comma -- the punctuation mark you didn't know existed, but that you almost certainly need in your life.
大家来欢迎感叹逗号,你可能不知道有这样的标点符号存在,但生活中绝对会用得到。
The exclamation comma is, as its name suggests, a symbol that looks like an exclamation point, only with a comma instead of a period at its base. As the Grammarly blog noted this week, it's used just like an exclamation mark “to denote excitement, add flourish, and generally lend a statement a certain degree of emotion and emphasis, but it's to be placed within sentences rather than at the end of them.
从它的名字“感叹逗号就可以看出,这个标点符号外形像个感叹号,只不过尾部的标点不是句点,而是个逗号。据语法博客介绍,感叹逗号的用法和感叹号相同,“用于表现兴奋、增强语气、为一句话增添感情色彩并表示强调意味,不过,感叹逗号应该用在句子中间,而不是句子结尾处。
For example:
“That velociraptor is so scary [insert exclamation comma] but don't worry, he's not going to eat you.
例如:
“那个迅猛龙好吓人(插入感叹逗号),不过别担心,他不会吃了你的。
The exclamation comma was reportedly created by American inventors Leonard Storch, Haagen Ernst Van and Sigmund Silber in 1992, who also lobbied for its widespread adoption. However, their patent for the symbol lapsed in 1995, and their effort to popularize it ultimately failed.
