中英文标点符号的差异及英文标点符号的使用 中英文标点符号的差异: 汉语中目前使用的标点符号是参考借鉴西文的标点体系而制定的,它既保留了西文标点的主体特征,又带有与汉语语言特点相适应的特色。因而,中英文标点符号之间存在着一定的差异。 ⒈ 汉语中的某些标点符号为英语所没有。 ⑴ 顿号(、):顿号在汉语中起分割句子中的并列成分的作用;英语中没有顿号,分割句中的并列成分多用逗号。如: She slowly, carefully, deliberately moved the box. 注意:类似的情况下,最后一个逗号后可加 and ,这个逗号也可省略 --She slowly, carefully(,) and deliberately moved the box. ⑵ 书名号(《》):英文没有书名号,书名、报刊名用斜体或者下划线表示。如: Hamlet / Hamlet 《哈姆雷特》 Winter‘s Tale / Winter‘s Tale 《冬天的童话》 The New York Times / The New York Times 《纽约时报》 另外,英语中文章、诗歌、乐曲、电影、绘画等的名称和交通工具、航天器等的专有名词也常用斜体来表示。 ⑶ 间隔号( #8226; ):汉语有间隔号,用在月份和日期、音译的名和姓等需要隔开的词语的正中间,如 " 一二 #8226; 九 " 、 " 奥黛丽 #8226; 赫本(人名) " 等。英语中没有汉语的间隔号,需要间隔时多用逗点。 着重号:有时汉语用在文字下点实心圆点表示需要强调的词语,这些实心点就是着重号。而英语中没有这一符号,需强调某些成分时可借助文字斜体、某些强调性词汇、特殊句型、标点停顿等多种方法。 ⒉ 英语中的某些标点符号为汉语所没有。 ⑴ 撇号 --Apostrophe ( ‘ ) ⑵ 连字号 --Hyphen ( - ) ⑶ 斜线号 —Virgule or Slash ( / ):该符号主要起分割作用,如 It could be for staff and / or students. 也常用于标音,如 bed /bed/ 。 ⒊ 某些符号在汉英两种语言中的形式不同。 ⑴ 中文的句号是空心圈(。) 英文的句号是实心点( . )。 ⑵ 英文的省略号是三个点( ... ),位置在行底; 中文的为六个点( ...... ),居于行中。 ⑶ 英文的破折号是( - ) 中文的是( -- ) 英文标点符号的使用 : 句点(Full Stop / Period,“.”) 问号(Question Mark,“?”) 感叹号(Exclamation Mark,“!”) 逗点(Comma,“,”) 冒号(Colon,“:”) 分号(Semicolon,“;”) 连字符(Hyphen,“-”) 连接号(En Dash,“–”) 破折号(Em Dash,“—”) 括号(Parentheses,小括号“( )”;中括号“ of those surveyed 5.用于一个词的一部分要移行, 一般按音节间断开单词加连字号(例如:ha-ppy,不可断为hap-py……),或根据发音,不要把单个字母留在行尾或行首。注意一页中最后一个单词不能使用连字号将其置于两页。 八、圆括弧Parenthesis( ( ) ) 1.标出表顺序的数字和字母(如: (1) 、(2) 等) 2.用来表示其中插入的或附加的解释成分。这个插入成分可以是单词、词组或句子.但要注意,括号会削弱强调作用,因此,如果要强调插入的句子成份,则要用破折号。 They might take a walk together(remember feet) and see the neighborhood with fresh , new eyes. 九、引号Quotation Marks(“”‘’) 引号分单引号(single quotation marks) 和双引号(double quotation marks) 。单引号只用在一个直接引语中所含有的另一个直接引语上。 1. 表示直接引语。当直接引语超过四行或多于40 个字词时, 一般不用引号而改用黑体字以便与文章的其它部分界线清晰 “Well, ”the foreigner said to him ,“ you look like an engineer. ” 句号和逗号必须置于引号(双引号和单引号) 之内。 He told the gunman ,“I refuse to do that ”;his knees , however , were shaking even as he said those words. She called this schedule of activities her “load ”:work , study , exercise , recreation , and sleep. 冒号与分号必置于引号外。 The teacher asked , “Could you understand me”? Did the teacher ask ,“Have they gone”? Did the teacher ask ,“They have gone ?” The frightened girl screamed ,“Help”! The fellow only said ,“Sorry !” He interrupted me , “Now , listen”——and went on saying. 问号、感叹号和破折号有时置于引号之内, 有时置于外号之外。如果所引内容本身是疑问句或感叹句或带有破折号, 问号、感叹号或破折号一般放在引号之内。否则,放在引号之外。 2. 标明短篇出版物的标题, 诸如杂志、报纸上的文章、短诗、短篇故事和整部书的某一章节。 Have you read“The Old Man and the Sea”? Chapter three is entitled“The Internet . ” 3.表示所用的词语具有特殊意义。另外,当俚语出现在较正式的文章中, 也用引号引起来, 以表示文风的有意转变。 The report contained the“facts”of the case. The speaker owns a“fat farm”in California , which slims down rich overeaters for $2 , 500 a week. 4. 用于表示引起读者注意的词语, 或读者不熟悉的特殊词语。 It is customary to say“Youpre welcome” whenever anyone says“Thank you. ” “SOS”is a message for help from a ship or aircraft when in danger. 十、省略号Ell ipsis(...) 此省略号无论出现在句首、句中、还是句尾,都是表示单词的省略。 1. 表示直接引语中的省略 Max wrote ,“...in one word ,manps consciousness , changes with every change in the conditions of his material existence....” 句后的省略号和句号的写法应是在一条直线上的四个黑点。前三个黑点表示省略号,后一个黑点表句号。 2. 表示说话中的犹豫或迟疑 “If that the way you think...just go back to school ,”he said. 3. 表示段落或整行词句的省略, 须使用一整行黑点。 十一、撇号或省字号Apostrophe(’) 1.构成名词所有格 rest my son’ s a moment’s books A three weeks’pay 2.表示词、字母、数码、符号等的复数形式 Don’t use so many ands in the sentence. How many 5s have you got? 这与一般单词的复数形式不同, 正规的写法须在s 前加“ ’ ”, 要牢记规则。 3.除表动词的紧缩形式外, 还表一个或几个字母和数字的省略。 I’ve got it. “Yes ,ma’ am ,”the waiter said. 注意:有相当大一部分省略词是口语中的用法,不宜出现在书面语中。例如:I’d like to(在书面语中要写作I would like to) 十二、 字底线Underline( ) 和斜体Italics 斜体是英语的一种独特的书写手段, 但具有标点的作用,它和字底线的作用完全一样。 1. 用于火车、飞机、轮船、太空船的名称之下 Challenger (飞机) Apollo Nine(太空船) 2. 用于具有一定厚度的书籍、报纸、杂志、长诗、电影、作曲的标题下 Have you read Gone with the Wind ? 在书写体中,长篇小说书名下要加字底线,如是印刷体写成斜体即可。 the Washington Post Time magazine 3.表示不常用的或还没有被英语这一语言所接受的外来词或短语。但外来语中的动植物科目须用字底线来表示。 In Korea , the sixty-first birthday is calld huan gup (beginning of new life) 1 He longed for La dolce vita. 4. 强调文章中的某些词语,以引起读者的注意, 相当于汉语中的着重号(即在所强调的汉字下加一个黑点) 。 英国英语和美国英语标点符号的差异 1 .引号的用法: ① 属于引语的逗号、句号在美国英语中位于引号内,而在英国英语中多位于引号外; ② 引语内再套用引语时,美国英语中双引号在外单引号在内,而英国英语中的单引号在外、双引号在内。 在美国英语中,如果省略号恰好在句尾,就用四个点,如 I‘d like to...that is...if you don‘t mind.... 2 . 冒号的用法: ① 在小时与分钟之间,美国英语多用冒号,英国英语多用句号; ② 美国英语中,信件或演说词的称呼语之后用冒号,而在英国英语中多用逗号。

我们中很多人学英语的时间大多在十年以上,但绝大部分人的英语水平还停留在初级阶段,根本不能通过英语获取知识以提高自身素质。究其原因,有以下几个方面: 1.观念问题 :我们很多人认为英语就是一个工具,其实不然。英语应该成为你的生活方式, a way of life。也就是说,不管你的英语水平有多高,考试分数多好,如果你每天通过英文的信息处理量(或摄入量)不足50%,我说你英语考试分数再高,英语对你来说真的就是一个花瓶,没什么实际用途。大家要问自己: how much of the information processed or absorbed is through English on a daily basis? 5%, 20%, 50%, or 80%? 就我个人而言,应该在80%左右,尽管我生活在中国。如果你每天大量的信息都来源于英语,你会发现你的视野会变得更开阔,知识面会更宽,思维会更活跃。逐渐地,你身边的人会发现你更博学,更聪明。 2.方法问题 :我们很多人4、6级后就停止学习英语,或者想学也不知道该怎么学下去。更要命的是,我们很多人没有用英语获取知识的习惯。实际上,你应该这样:要想使你的英语达到高级水平,有两件事你必须做:第一, 直接学TOEFL和GRE,不管你要不要出国,考不考T或G。为什么?这两门考试是美国研究生院考察学生有没有学习能力的考试,很成熟,是你英语学习直接进入高级水平最快的途径。实际上,你上大一时就可以直接学TOEFL。具体方法如下:先把TOEFL的阅读当成精读教材,同时背单词,然后练听力,再把听力当成口语教材,模仿语音语调句式句型,表达方式等。TOEFL的听力材料非常贴近美国大学生活,是最好的口语教材。在此基础之上,再大量阅读,大量听。等这些做好了,写作就会自然变好。古语云:读书破万卷,下笔如有神,就是这个道理。 如果说TOEFL是Test OF English, 即关于英语的水平测试,那么GRE就是 Test IN English,即英语进行的能力(智力)测试。美国人进入研究生院也和你一样,也得考GRE。有人说,GRE的词汇大部分都没用,太偏。说这样话的人自己英语水平一定没有达到高级。GRE的词汇95%以上都在你的学习工作生活中很常用,或者说你作为一个英语的高级知识分子都应该要会的。否则,你很难与别人进行有实质有内涵的沟通。就会打打招呼,介绍自己从哪儿来,喜欢或不喜欢什么不能为你赢来真正的朋友,不会为你的求职带来好处,更不会为你带来商业谈判赢得先机。所以你要成为高级人才,必须过了TOEFL和GRE关。 第二, 你必须养成从英语中获得知识,在工作生活中使用英语的习惯。从你开始看TOEFL 和GRE的时候,你就应该开始看英美报纸,杂志,电影电视。我不建议你花几个小时学习Puma at Large。因为你学完了,就会了些单词,一些稀奇古怪的东西,对你的智力发展,知识积累没有任何好处。花同样的时间,如果你看一篇纽约时报的文章,学习为什么西方要求中国人民币升值,或者Intel与别的公司芯片之战打到什么程度了,在巴黎36小时应怎么度过等等,你不仅学到英文,而且增长了见识。长此以往,你的英文也日益精进了,你的知识面也宽了很多。还有,我建议大家直接用英文看美国大学的教材:经济(曼昆等人),金融,财会,政治,历史,心理等等。甚至你可以学数学。我在北大学微积分学得一塌糊涂(尽管我高考数学147),但去了美国,我用英文学微积分,线代,统计等都学得很好。为什么?就是英文国外的教材写得好。刚去美国时,我花了很多时间看美国本科生的教材,甚至包括我不熟悉的化学生物等,这个过程不仅让我的英文有更大进步,同时为我的宽广的知识面打下坚实基础,而这一切在我今天给大家做咨询和学业人生规划时都特别有用。 3)见识问题 :学英语有如练武功,你如果不知道最高水平的高手是什么样子,你是学不成高手的。学英语不是学技巧,而是学成高级知识分子。很多同学会花时间听VOA,我觉在初期阶段是不错,但VOA是美国政府的宣传工具,你长时间听,就会受其毒害(不是吓你,呵呵)。你最好听NPR, National Public Radio ( http://www.npr.org) 。这是一个中立的广播电台,你不仅能学到英语,而且受到高水平的教育。你看东西,看什么?有人说Yahoo, CNN 里的英文新闻。但你水平低的时候,可以。但他们的写作水平相当于美国高中生水平,你看的再多,也不会让你成为知识分子。你知道美国高级知识分子看什么? 纽约时报,华尔街日报,经济学家,纽约客等等。我建议大家集中看纽约时报就可以( http://www.nytimes.com) ,实在想多看,可以看看经济学家,( www.economist.com) 。我不建议大家通过看文学书籍来学英语。简爱是很好,但你现在看太费劲。你的水平高了,再去欣赏这些不迟。这些书能让你成为有品位的知识分子,但暂时咱们还是先成为知识分子再说。 英语学成了高级,你的乐趣就多了。能直接看懂好莱坞电影还没什么,看懂Friends, Prison Break, Desparate Housewives, Gossip Girls 也很容易。看懂这些还不是成为高级知识分子的标志。你要想对美国文化,社会等有很多了解,深入人家核心的东西,你还得看更高水平的东西,如看懂人家的Talk Show, 尤其是人家一些文化icon的东西:如CBS里David Letterman, NBC里 Jay Leno 等人的show,包括 NBC的 Staturday Night Live(尽管Opera等也很牛,但实质内容不多)。 最最厉害的要数美国Comedy Central的 Jon Stewart 和 Steven Colbert ( www.TheDailyShow.com) 和 ( www.ColbertNation.com) 。你如果你能看懂他们的东西,那你的生活就太有乐趣了,因为你每天都能体会到听真正聪明的人说话或分析事情是一种怎样的愉悦。从此之后,你再看国内电视里所谓的专家,你会发现水平差别太大了。 我们都说中国人爱听相声,但中国相声这些年实在不咋的,小品也很无聊。如果你想听听美国是如何幽默的,你看看人家的Standup Comedy(类似我们的单口相声)。我推荐两个人: Russell Peters (加拿大人)和Jeff Dunham。在优酷中你应能搜到。还有我大力推荐动画片南方公园 ( www.SouthParkStudios.com) 。如果你坚持看下来,你的英语水平提高自是不必说,更重要的是你对美国的认知会更加深刻。 罗罗嗦嗦说了这么多,自己总结一下: 1. 英语不靠学,靠用。让语言成为你的生活方式,而不工具。 2.高考后,直接学TOEFL,再学GRE,不管你考不考这两个试,出不出国。 3.让自己通过英语变成具有国际视野的高级知识分子,看以下网站: http://www.nytimes.com http://www.economist.com http://www.npr.org http://www.TheDailyShow.com http://www.ColbertNation.com http://www.SouthParkStudios.com 还有,enjoy Russell Peters and Jeff Dunham!! http://emuch.net/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=2924724
