英語中引號(hào)的使用
(1)書面會(huì)話種,我們用引號(hào)(單引號(hào)'——'或雙引號(hào)“——”)將實(shí)際的對(duì)號(hào)括起來。
'What are you doing?' She asked.
'I'm hanging this picture on the wall,' I answered.' It's a new one. Do you like it?'
She looked at it critically for a moment. 'It's all right,' she said,'but isn't it upside down?'
書寫時(shí),引號(hào)位于一行之上,在句尾其他標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)之外。
若引語位于句首,第一個(gè)詞首字母需大寫。
在said, asked等詞后面用逗號(hào),只有當(dāng)它們?cè)诰湮矔r(shí),后才用句號(hào)。
當(dāng)said, asked等詞置于引語之間時(shí),句子的后半部分以小寫字母開始。
當(dāng)一個(gè)新的說話人開始講話時(shí),需另起一段。
(2) 引號(hào)(單引號(hào)' … '或雙引號(hào)" … ")也可用于單詞或短語,表示不尋常的詞,
以引人注意,或是用于一些書名等名稱。
They always tell you what a picture is 'about'.
