英語作文中的標點符號
大慶石油高中路寶秋
不論是在平時的練習中還是考試中,許多同學在寫英語作文時不
太注意標點符號的運用,有的同學甚至所有的標點符號都是圓點。其
實正確使用了標點符號,有助于使文章的思路更加清晰,讀文章的人
也可以很好地理解該文章。因此,大家在平時寫英語作文時一定要注
意標點符號的使用,這樣才會在考試的時候不會吃這方面的虧。
英語中的標點符號和漢語的標點符號在使用上有很多相同之處,
但亦有一些區別。現將英語中常用的幾種標點符號簡介如下:
一、句號 (full stop [英> period [美>)
句號表示陳述句末尾的停頓。
如:Welcome to Disneyland. Today I’ll show you around it.
句號也用在縮寫或簡寫詞的詞尾,如 Dr. Smith等。
注意,英語句號必須用實點“.”,而不是小圓圈。
二、逗號 (comma)
逗號表示句子內部的一般性停頓。
However, in the year 2002 alone, we have earned 10,000
dollars.
書信末尾Yours Sincerely之后需用逗號。書寫日期、地址時,也
常用逗號,如:
Our new school will be built in Haidian District, Beijing, in
December, 2003.
三、問號 (question mark)
問號表示疑問句末尾的停頓。
What can we do to show our support?
Does it mean that you will live in Hong Kong for ever?
有的句子雖然有疑問詞“who”“how”等,但全句并不是疑問
句,末尾不用問號,如:
Who will do this project is still unknown. 四、冒號(colon)
冒號表示提示性話語之后的停頓,冒號后的內容相當于冒號前面
的一個詞或更多的詞,其主要用途是闡明、解釋或提起下文。
You have to bring the things tomorrow: pen, ruler, paper
and erar.
There are four asons in a year. They are: Spring, Summer,
Autumn and Winter.
但有人認為動詞之后最好不要用冒號來引出列舉的事物,后一句
應改為: There are four asons in a year. They are Spring, Summer,
Autumn and Winter.
五、引號(quotation marks)
引號標明文中直接引用的話。
“Will you be free on Sunday?” asked Amy.
引號還用來表明需要著重論述的對象或具有特殊含義的詞語。
In our homet own we call it “Apple”. In fact, it just looks
like apple, but not really apple.
引號也常用來表示文章、電影等的標題。
“Hero” is one of my favorite films.
六、感嘆號 (exclamation mark [英> exclamation point [美>)
感嘆號表示感嘆句末尾的停頓。
What a fine day it is!
語氣強烈的祈使句或陳述句末尾也用感嘆號。
Loo k! It’s him!
但我們在書面表達時,要盡量少用感嘆號,因為很多人認為濫用
感嘆號是寫作不老練的
一種標志。
七、分號(micolon)
分號表示復句內部并列分句之間的停頓,用來代替并列連接詞
she`ll miss out on something.
注意分號后的句子第一個字母不大寫。
八、括號(parenthes)
括號標明行文中注釋性的話。
Everyone should fight against SARS (vere acute respiratory
syndrome).
九、破折號(dash)
破折號標明行文中解釋說明的語句。破折號和括號用法不同:破折
號引出的解釋說明是
正文的一部分,而括號里的解釋說明不是正文,只是對句中的某
個部分進行注釋。
Even when you are asleep, you are using energy? About 65
calories an hour.
All four of them? Bob, Jeffrey, Jason, and Brett? did well in
college
十、省略號 (ellipsis)
省略號標明行文中省略了的話,是用來表示文中省略或虛缺部分,
它的使用往往給人一
種意猶未盡的感覺,欲語還休的意境,為人們打開想象的空間,
任其馳騁。
Juan thought and thought … and then thought some more.
連字號也用來表示移行。如果一個較長的詞在一行之末需要斷開
時,須先在該行之末加
一連字號,其余部分寫在下一行行首。但單詞移行的規則比較復
雜,請同學們在書寫時盡量
不要把單詞拆分成兩個部分。
高考書面表達評分標準指出:“拼寫與標點符號是語言準確性的一
個方面,評分時應視
其對交際的影響程度予以考慮”。但由于平時我們中學英語教學
不太重視標點符號知識的講
授,導致學生在書面表達時,經常出現標點符號使用的錯誤,最
終影響到自己書面表達的得
分。現將學生在書面表達中常犯的錯誤分析如下:
[原文]We had a short rest, then we began to play happily, we
sang and danced, some told
on food; the other is to reduce my weight.
一般句子都有主語和謂語這兩個主要成分。“to save money on
food and to reduce my
weight”這一不定式短語并不是一個完整的句子,不應用句號與
前句斷開。如一定要另寫為
一句的話,需補上所缺的句子成分。
[原文]Charging entrance fees for a public park, will no doubt
keep a lot of people away.
[修正]Charging entrance fees for a public park will no doubt
keep a lot of people away.
不要用逗號將主語和謂語分隔開。
[原文]When I heard that Beijing won the bid for the 2008
Olympic Games. I was very excited.
[修正]When I heard that Beijing won the bid for the 2008
Olympic Games, I was very excited.
位于句首的狀語從句,常用逗號與主句分開。但在書面表達閱卷
過程中,我們經常遇到
上述這種狀語從句和主句之間被句號斷開的錯誤,尤其當狀語從
句比較長的時候,考生往往
會忘記使用逗號,而誤用句號。
[原文]Many people jumped out of the window. Becau it was
the only way of escaping the fire.
[修正]Many people jumped out of the window becau it was
the only way of escaping the fire.
狀語從句后置時,主句和從句之間通常不需用標點隔開,更不可
用句號將主句和從句斷
開。
[原文]There are forty students in our class in all. Most of
whom are from big cities.
[修正]There are forty students in our class in all, most of
whom are from big cities.
[修正]There are forty students in our class in all. Most of them
are from big cities.
非限制性定語從句在書寫時,應用逗號與先行詞隔開,或干脆不
使用定語從句。
[原文]I wrote letters to: my aunt, the bus company, and my
clo friend, Jack, who moved to Boston four years ago.
[修正]I wrote letters to my aunt, the bus company, and my
clo friend, Jack, who moved to Boston four years ago.
介詞和介詞賓語之間不可用標點符號分割開。
[原文]Tom, the captain of the football team was riously
injured in the game.
[修正]Tom, the captain of the football team, was riously
injured
in the game.
[原文]Two hundred dollars, I think is not enough.
[修正]Two hundred dollars, I think, is not enough.
位于句子中間的同位語或插入語,前后均需用逗號與句子其他成
分隔開。
[原文] “We’ve found you at long last”, they said.
[修正] “We’ve found you at long last,” they said.
引號內如是一個完整的句子,逗號就應該放在引號內。
[原文]Each person can choo to go to one of the places ? a
factory、a farm、a school or a
hospital.
[修正]Each person can choo to go to one of the places ? a
factory, a farm, a school or a
hospital.
英語中沒有頓號,在需要用頓號的地方,一般用逗號取代。
[原文]There was a very interesting article entitled 《No
beating about the bush》in yesterday’s 《China Daily》.
[修正]There was a very interesting article entitled “No
beating about the bush” in yesterday’s China Daily.
漢語有書名號,如《紅樓夢》,而英語則沒有。英語印刷材料中
的書名通常是斜體字(如:A Dream of Red Mansions),在手寫時則常
在書名下劃線。文章名可用引號來表示。
標點符號使用不正確,會給閱卷老師造成不良印象,導致不必要
的失分。我們希望同學們在書面表達時,認真對待每一個標點的使用,
以完全達到預期的寫作目的。
