你不得不承认,同样是备考,有人总比你高分:同样是减肥,有人总比你顺利;同样是毕业找工作,有人总比你幸运,同样都是努力,有人总比你更容易成功。你以为生活欺骗了你,其实这就是生活。不是每个人都能成为自己想要的样子,但每个人都可以努力成为自己想要的样子。
逗号
用于分割并列成分。阅读重点:两个逗号之间,或者一个逗号之后,如果是补充说明成分时,跳过不看。Eg:Some huge American industries, such as consumer electronics, had shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competition.
句号
①用于陈述句,表示一个句子的结束,起分割切分句子作用。
②用于某些缩略词之后。比如Mr.、 Ms.、 etc.等等。如果句号作为简写符号使用,那么这个词语简写前后面的符号应该照常写上,因为简写号并非句号,也不遵循句号的语法。
③用作小数点。
问号
阅读文章中的问号一般都是设问的功能,只问不答,答案不言自明。另外,如果开篇就是问句,那么则属于问题答案型文章,对问题的回答就是全文主旨。
冒号
冒号前后是从抽象到具体的过程,后面进一步补充说明前面的内容。
We live in a society in which the medicinal and social use of substances (drugs) is pervasive: an aspirin to quiet a headache, some wine to be sociable, coffee to get going in the morning, a cigarette for the nerves.
分号
前后是并列关系,包括结构上并列和语义上的并列。
引号
①引用;②强调;③讽刺
括号
①解释说明生词;
②补充说明
Drugs (substances) that affect the central nervous system and alter perception, mood, and behavior are known as psychoactive substances.
破折号
①一个破折号后面起补充说明或评价判断。
I am an idiot - the stupidest kind of all.
“This book stands for reason itself.” And so it does — and all would be well were reason the only judge in the creationism/evolution debate.
②两破折号之间其补充说明,可先跳过不看。
In Australia—where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia.
省略号
英文中的省略号的作用和汉语是一样的。当省略号在句围并且有下文时,应该打四个点,最后一个为句号。如:And it flew further, and further, and further.... Jorge smiled and turned back.当省略号在句尾并作为语气延长的作用时,应使用修辞前的标点,如:Do you love me...?其余情况下使用三个点。如:The Martians...they just...just bombed our...our town, please send...more...
