2. Do you want to leave two spaces before writing an English composition, how to use English punctuation marks and how to read Chinese and English punctuation marks? (1) pause (,): pause plays a role in dividing coordinate components in sentences in Chinese; There is no pause in English, and the coordinate components in clauses often use commas. For example, she moved the box slowly, carefully and carefully. Note: In similar cases, it can be added after the last comma, and this comma can also be omitted-she moved the box slowly and carefully. (2) Title (""): There is no title in English. Book titles and newspaper names are italicized or underlined. For example, Hamlet, Hamlet, Winter Story, Winter Story and The New York Times/The New York Times. In addition, the names of articles, poems, music, movies, paintings, vehicles, spaceships and other proper nouns in English are often expressed in italics. ): Chinese has a separator, which is used in the middle of words that need to be separated, such as month, day, transliteration name and surname, such as "12? Nine ","Audrey? Hepburn (name) "and so on. There are no intervals in Chinese in English, so commas are often used when intervals are needed. (4) Bullets: Chinese sometimes uses solid dots below words to indicate words that need to be emphasized. These solid dots are bullets. But there is no such symbol in English. When you need to emphasize some elements, you can use italics, some emphasized words, special sentence patterns, punctuation pauses and other methods. 1. Some punctuation marks in English can't be found in Chinese. 1. apostrophe-apostrophe ('): This symbol mainly indicates ① possessive case, such as shaker's play/boy's book; 2 numbers, symbols, letters or plural words, such as there are only four A's in the teacher's class; ③ Omit letters, numbers or words, such as let's (= let us)/I've (= I have). ② Hyphenation-Hyphenation (-): This symbol is mainly used in the following situations. (1) compound words, such as world famous. ② Derivative words and affixes of roots or words, such as co-worker. ③ Two scores. Depending on the situation, it can be translated into "bi", "right" and "zhi". 4 words move, words that cannot be written in one line move to the next line by syllable, but it must be noted that: a. monosyllabic words do not move; B inflectional suffixes, such as -er/- or /-ing, are generally not moved; C. Numbers and abbreviations are not suitable for moving; D. they are easy to cause. For example, the legend does not move. After moving, there should not be only one letter left at the end of the line. For example, alone should not be moved to A-Lone.F. Words with affixes should be moved to affixes and roots, such as disappearing or not appearing, such as compound words moving between compound components. For example, heartsick was moved to heart-sick. (3) slash symbol-Virgule or slash (/): This symbol is mainly used for separation, for example, it may represent employees and/or students. It is also often used for phonetic notation. Like bed /bed/. Often used to separate the following words, used as independent adverbials. It separates date, math and place. It separates people's names from titles or inverted names. Used after the letter address of Hohhot or after the honorific speech. The use of semicolons is a veritable separator. It cannot be used to end a sentence. Usually used between coordinate clauses. Generally speaking, semicolons are used between periods and commas, and the relationship between two parts separated by semicolons is closer than that separated by periods, but not as close as that separated by commas. Semicolons are generally used in the following ways: 1) Used to coordinate clauses to separate (usually) main clauses without conjunctions, which are considered to be closely related and belong to one sentence. 2) Used, for example, before a clause guided by words such as, i.e. (say), in fact, i.e., e.g.. The usage of colon is a complementary and coherent symbol, which is used to attract readers' attention to the following contents. Colons are often used in formal and solemn questions. The specific usage is as follows: 1) Enumeration indicates enumeration, explanation or explanation. 2) Lead out long formal quotations or big quotations. 3) Used after the address form in letters or speeches (comma is commonly used in British usage). 4) Use between hours and minutes (period is commonly used in British usage) and between ratios. Chapters of the bible. 5) Separate the title and subtitle of the book title. The usage of question mark is a symbol used after a question, which is mostly used in dialogue and relatively rare in written expression. The general usage of question marks is as follows: 1) Used after interrogative sentences or euphemistic imperative sentences. 2) Used in brackets to express doubt or uncertainty. Exclamation marks are used to express strong feelings. Appeal, determination or used to express emphasis, command, etc. Exclamation marks are usually used in the following ways: 1) to emphasize the tone of a command or attract attention. 2) Used to express exclamation, praise, ridicule or joke. Using hyphens in English has many functions. Its usage is flexible and changeable. Usually hyphens are used in the following ways: 1) for compound words; 2) Used between affixes (or combined morphemes) and roots (or words); 3) To avoid semantic or phonetic confusion or word separation; 4) Used for two place names, two numbers or twice. It means "to". 5) Used for word transfer. However, when moving, we should pay attention to the following situations: ※ monosyllabic words can't move independently, for example, the intensity should not be divided into tense-and th ※ inflected forms, for example, work should not be divided into work- and ing. Numbers and abbreviations should not be moved separately, for example, 25759 and UNESCO should not be divided into 257- and 59. ※. UNES- and CO. ※ Words that are easy to cause ambiguity should not be moved separately, such as legend and earnest should not be separated from each other, and Ear-Ear- and nest should not be moved. After moving, there should not be only one letter left at the end of the line, for example, like and Lone should not be divided into a- and like, and A- and lone should be moved at affixes and roots. ※. For example, "unimportant" and "disabled" should move between "important" and "disabled" respectively. Compound words should be moved between compound components (for the original hyphen, double hyphen can be used at the end of the line or hyphen can be added at the beginning of the next line). ※. Note: don't mix hyphens with dashes. Dashes are used to separate several parts of a sentence. The length of hyphens is half that of dashes. Use of dashes.
Let me give you an example of how to write a composition with punctuation marks as the topic. ..
My name is punctuation, which is a general term for the label family and the dot family. Our series includes periods, question marks, exclamation points, semicolons, commas, pause marks and colons in the dot series, and quotation marks, brackets, dashes, ellipsis, bullets, titles, hyphens and other members in the tag series. Although there are not many members in our family, I still have a lot of troubles.
After the appearance of ancient Chinese characters, I was not born yet. The ancients only used words to express their feelings when writing articles. Because without me, future generations find it hard to read ancient Chinese. In modern times, a bachelor of arts gave birth to me, and family members who point and mark are as important as words. With the continuous progress of human civilization, people pay more and more attention to me, but today, there are still people who don't need me or even me when writing articles. In their eyes, I became a dispensable waste, making me useless.
A useless place has become a veritable unemployed person. Do you think I am unhappy?
The second reason for my distress is that some people can't tell the difference between words and jokes when writing articles. Please listen to Brother Comma's complaint to Brother Duan: "The trouble is that some people can't tell us apart. The meaning of one sentence is over. It was supposed to tell you where to stand, but they told me to stand. I was so busy that I was accused of' teasing'. " Forget it; In fact, the division of labor between us has always been clear. You use it in the middle of a sentence to indicate a pause; I use it at the end of a sentence to indicate a complete sentence. Some people just don't pay attention, but they ask you to stand when it's time to use me.
When I came out, I was idle; Some people, on the contrary, always use me when they should use you, which makes me very annoying and criticized. "
It is a good thing that brothers, periods and commas are widely used by modern people. However, because the master spoiled them too much and neglected other brothers, the other brothers had to protest. In fact, it is not enough for an excellent article to express the pause or tone in the language just by teasing the two brothers. People can't use other brothers, which is the third reason for my distress.
The fourth reason is that writing about me is not standardized. People often say that if you don't obey the rules, you can't be Fiona Fang. But some people take an indifferent attitude towards me, such as putting an end to the boss. "Write decimal point". ",and write dashes"-"and ellipsis" ... "where the hyphen"-"occupies two spaces and" where three points occupy a backlog ". "Others extend indefinitely; Putting the members of the dot family at the beginning of a line makes me laugh and cry; Others are at a loss when the twin brothers of single quotation marks and double quotation marks appear at the same time; What's more, someone copied an article and wrote the title of the book, which really embarrassed me. ...
Dear host, I want to say a lot to you. For example, Mo Bo, the world master of short stories, only used a "?" And the editorial department's reply only used a "!" ; There is also an "iron rooster" who doesn't want to stay for dinner, but asks the guests to stay because he doesn't need me. This has become people's talk after dinner. Now I will only tell you the reason why I have been depressed for a long time. How do you feel after hearing my story? I sincerely hope and beg you to stop belittling me. Do not look at me.
