英文標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)常見錯(cuò)誤

在英文書寫中，標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)的用法同樣十分重要，很多時(shí)候受到中文標(biāo)點(diǎn)使用的影響，會(huì)出現(xiàn)英文標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)常見錯(cuò)誤。今天，江蘇鐘山翻譯的小編就來帶大家一起看看英文標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)常見錯(cuò)誤用法。

一、                      兩個(gè)完整句子之間使用逗號(hào),分隔

錯(cuò)誤示例：It was raining hard, they could not work in the fields.

這一英文標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)常見錯(cuò)誤是受到了中文逗號(hào)用法的影響。但實(shí)際上，兩個(gè)完整英文句子之間必須有連詞，如and，but等，或者可以用分號(hào);

正確示例：It was raining hard, and they could not work in the fields.

It was raining hard. They could not work in the fields.

It was raining hard; they could not work in the fields.

It was raining so hard that they could not work in the fields.

二、                      英文出現(xiàn)頓號(hào)和書名號(hào)

英文標(biāo)點(diǎn)沒有頓號(hào)（、），也沒有書名號(hào)（《》）！這一英文標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)常見錯(cuò)誤也是中國學(xué)生寫作時(shí)經(jīng)?；煜?/span>。

英文中多個(gè)并列結(jié)構(gòu)用逗號(hào)（,）分隔。

英文中的印刷體用斜體字表示書籍、報(bào)刊、戲劇、電影、繪畫作品等的名稱，而非書名號(hào)。

錯(cuò)誤示例：I like reading books、listening to music、watching TV、and studying English.

正確示例：I like reading books, listening to music, watching TV, and studying English.

錯(cuò)誤示例：My favorite books including 《Gone with the Wind》、《Pride and Prejudice》 and 《To Kill A Mockingbird》.

正確示例：My favorite books including Gone with the Wind, Pride and Prejudice and To Kill A Mockingbird.

三、                      英文的省略號(hào)書寫錯(cuò)誤

英文中的省略號(hào)只有三個(gè)點(diǎn)，且是三個(gè)句號(hào)，不是中文省略號(hào)的一半。

示例：I got so into preparing meals that I started to make lunch for my mom and homemade treats for my dogs...（對(duì)比中文省略號(hào)??）

四、                      英文的連字符、破折號(hào)混用

1、       連字符（Hyphen）

連字符用于把兩個(gè)或更多的單詞連在一起組成復(fù)合詞，且hyphen的前后不用空格。

示例： face-to-face, well-know, a 10-year-old boy, twenty-two

2、       短破折號(hào) （En Dash）

表達(dá) " 從……到…… " 的意思，主要連接數(shù)字或單詞，相當(dāng)于to

示例：My life at university, 2011–2015, was so memorable.

表達(dá)兩者之間的關(guān)系。 

示例：mother–daughter relationship

代替連字符。當(dāng)合成詞的其中一部分本身就是合成詞，這時(shí)需要用短破折號(hào)代替連字符。

示例：Pre–Civil War era（后內(nèi)戰(zhàn)時(shí)代，Civil War本身就是個(gè)合成詞）

3、       破折號(hào) （Em Dash）

解釋說明

During the ?rst week, I would email my mom every five minutes and get furious when she didn't answer right away—scared that something had happened, when in reality it was all ?ne.

代替逗號(hào)使用，強(qiáng)調(diào)內(nèi)容

And yet, when the car was finally delivered?—nearly three months after it was ordered?—she decided she no longer wanted it, leaving the dealer with an oddly equipped car that would be difficult to sell.

表示引用

The real talent is resolute aspirations. —Nepoleon

表示話沒說完，被打斷，類似于省略號(hào)。

Maybe she likes—yes, she definitely likes me.

代替冒號(hào)，強(qiáng)調(diào)句子的結(jié)論，但沒有冒號(hào)正式。

After months of deliberation, the jurors reached a unanimous verdict?—guilty.
