Ellipsis Points

省略號

?

?? Within ? a quotation, use three periods (points of ellipsis) to indicate deleted words ? or phrases. These three periods are in addition to other needed punctuation. ? Thus, if a period is already there, the result will be four periods.

?? 在雙引號中，使用三個(gè)句點(diǎn)（省略號）表示刪除的單詞或短語。這三個(gè)句點(diǎn)是對其它標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號的補(bǔ)充。因此，如果一個(gè)句點(diǎn)已經(jīng)存在，那么結(jié)果將是四個(gè)句點(diǎn)。

示例：

No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power…. The time has come to consider how we might bring about a separation, as complete as possible, between Science and Government in all countries.

—Jacob Bronowski

?

?? Do ? not begin or end a quotation with ellipsis points.

?? 切勿在雙引號的開頭或結(jié)尾使用省略號。

?

?? Use ? ellipsis points where part of a series is omitted, when the pattern of the ? series is unambiguous.

?? 當(dāng)序列的模式不明確時(shí)，在省略序列的一部分時(shí)使用省略號。

?

示例：

a = 1, 2, 3, …

n = 2, 4, 6, …

x = 1, 3, 5, …, 15
