分号英语单词

英语中共有14个标点符号，分别是：the period （句号 ），question mark （问号），exclamation point（感叹号）， comma（逗号），semicolon（分号），colon（冒号）。

dash（破折号），hyphen（连字符），parentheses（圆括号），brackets（括号 ），braces（括弧）， apostrophe（撇号； 省略符号； 所有格符号），quotation marks（引号），and ellipses（省略号）。

Apostrophe（’）的用法

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）。

在同一句话里，并列的单词之间用逗号；一句话没有说话用逗号。

分号有时又称为小句号。它表示一个停顿，其停顿时间在逗号与冒号的停顿时间之间。文章如采用许多分号，其风格则变得严肃、正式。为了正确使用分号，有必要先学会辨认主句。当两个主句没有任何连接词（and, but, or, nor, for）连接而出现在同一个句子里，这时最好采用分号使之分离。分号的主要作用很简单，它常用于分离没有连接词连接的句子。但最好不要在从句之间形成如此之强的停顿。如果要连接从句，而又不愿意用连接词时，则采用分号。

e: The world is a comedy to those that think; a tragedy to those that feel.You don't write because you want to say something; you write because you've got something to say.In the past, boy babies were often dressed in blue; girls, in pink.

逗号就是话没说完或者是和下面内容同类内容用。分号我觉得只有很正式的文章才会见到分号。平时写什么作文或短文很少见。详情请看我的推荐Joy高斋翻译CATTI和MTI分享：希望对你有用。必备|标点符号如何翻译？（附使用规则）比如2016年11月英语三级笔译实务试题原文：Harper Lee was an ordinary woman as stunned as anybody by the extraordinary success of “To Kill a Mockingbird.”里面的双引号。“To Kill a Mockingbird”，英文中的书名通常是斜体或加引号表示或者大写就可以，因为斜体有时候看着不整齐，译文中文需要加上书名号，书名第一次出现，需要括号加注原英文名（人名也这样处理）。还比如14年11月CATTI二级笔译英译汉真题原文：WATERLOO, Belgium --- The region around this Belgian city is busily preparing to commemorate the 200th anniversary in 2015 of one of the major battles in European military history. 里面的逗号和破折号。WATERLOO, Belgium比利时滑铁卢：这里考察英语地名从小到大，而且加个逗号，汉语里面是从大到小，不加逗号，比如Shanghai, China翻译为中国上海。这是CATTI英译汉高频翻译细节，可是我今天看了大家提交的译文，基本都这样写的：WATERLOO, Belgium --- The region 比利时滑铁卢——：破折号的用法和翻译，这是CATTI英译汉高频翻译细节，经常用在文章或报道的开头，引出事件发生的背景（地点）。翻译的时候保持破折号即可。:Colon（冒号）1．引出表示列举、解释或说明性的词语，翻译的时候保持：The string section consists of four instruments: violin, viola cello, and bass. /His grades are a follows: English, an A; History. a B: Science, a D: and Math, a C.2．引出对前文进行补充、总结或强调的词语，翻译的时候保持：Judges have a double duty；They must protect the innocent and punish the guilty／ He has only one pleasure: eating.3．引出较长的正式引语或大段引语，翻译的时候是：或者，In his most famous speech he said: All men are created equal and must enjoy equally the rights that are inalienably theirs.4．用于信件或演说词中的称呼语之后（英国用法中多用逗号），翻译的时候保持：Dear Sir: /Dear Professor Jones: /Ladies and Gentlemen:5．用于公函、政府文件或商业函件的标题或标目之后，翻译的时候保持：TO. /SUBJECT: /REFERENCE: /VIA:6．用于时与分之间（英国法中多用句号）、比率数之间、《圣经》的章与节之间，翻译的时候保持：The train is to leave at 8: 30. /Common nouns outnumber proper nouns in proportion 32. /You will find it in Genesis 2: 4-7.7．分隔书名的标题与副标题，翻译的时候保持：或者破折号NOStromo: A Tale of the Seaboard， Comma（逗号）1．分隔并列成分We are tired, hungry and dilate. /Washington was said to be first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen. /We were taught how to sit gracefully, how to walk. how to converse politely.2．分隔并列句中的分句It snowed all night, and the schools were closed the next day. / We must leave now, or we will miss the plane. / I tried to sleep, but my neighbour's dog made that impossible. /It is an imperfect system,yet it is better than none.公主号“高斋外刊双语精读”3．分隔对比或对照成分He is sick, not drunk. /The more haste, the less speed.4．分隔非限定性修饰语、同位语或附加说明的词语He found the Paper on the roof, where the newsboy had thrown it.

英语中共有14个标点符号，分别是：the period （句号 ），question mark （问号），exclamation point（感叹号）， comma（逗号），semicolon（分号），colon（冒号）。

dash（破折号），hyphen（连字符），parentheses（圆括号），brackets（括号 ），braces（括弧）， apostrophe（撇号； 省略符号； 所有格符号），quotation marks（引号），and ellipses（省略号）。

汉语中标点符号有17种

标点符号分为点号、标号两大类。点号表示口语中不同长短的停顿，标号表示书面语言里词语的性质或作用。（注：数学符号、货币符号、校勘符号、辞书符号、注音符号等特殊领域的专门符号不属于标点符号。）

点号：句号（ 。）、问号（ ？）、叹号（ ！）、逗号（ ，）顿号（、）、分号（；）和冒号（：）。

标号：引号（“ ” ‘ ’）、括号〔（ ） [ ] { } 〕、破折号（ —— ）、省略号（······）、着重号（ ．）、书名号（《 》〈 〉）、间隔号（·）、连接号（ — ）和专名号（ ____ ）、分隔号（/）。

英语中的分号可以当做小句号来使用。如果你想连接两个主句在同一个句子中，但是又不想用连接词，那么可以考虑使用分号将两个句子分开。比如说两个句子Your car is new. Mine is six years old. 可以用连接词连成一句话——Your car is new， but mine is six years old.也可以用分号改成一句话—— Your car is new; mine is six years old.再比如It is nearly half past five. We cannot reach town before dark. It is nearly half past five. We cannot reach town before dark. 可以用连接词连成一句话——It is nearly half past five.，and we cannot reach town before dark. 也可以用分号改成一句话—— It is nearly half past five；we cannot reach town before dark.
