四、连字符号和破折号的运用
1. 行末单词分开时使用连字符号。例如:
正确: In this incredible canvas, the artist used only monochromatic elements.
2. 表示 21-99 这些数字和用作形容词的分数时,使用连字符号。
错误: A two thirds vote was necessary to carry the measure.
正确: A two-thirds vote was necessary to carry the measure.
3. 由前缀 ex 、 all 、 self 、 semi 或后缀 elect 构成的词语,前缀或后缀和主体之间应有连字符号。
错误: The president elect was invited to chair the meeting.
正确: The president-elect was invited to chair the meeting.
4. 如果把复合形容词放在所修饰词语的前面,则该形容词各部分应由连字符号分开。
正确: The no-holds-barred argument continued into the night.
5. 专有名词或形容词前添加前缀,两部分应由连字符号隔开。例如:
错误: His pro African sentiments were heartily applauded.
正确: His pro-African sentiments were heartily applauded.
6. 如果复合构词法构成的词语容易与其他词语混淆,或者导致元音字母相邻,则应用连字符号隔开。例如:
错误: Most buildings in the ghost town are recreations of the original structures.
正确: Most buildings in the ghost town are re-creations of the original structures.
错误: She took an anti-inflammatory drug for her sports injury.
正确: She took an anti-inflammatory drug for her sports injury.
7. 用破折号表明思路的突然变化。
正确: To get a high score—and who doesn’t want to get a high score—you need to devote yourself to prolonged and concentrated study.
五、撇号的运用
1. 表明动词缩写,但是在作文开始中应尽量避免缩写。
2. 表明名词所有格。
3. 代词都另有单词表示其所有格,比较特殊的是中性词 one ,其所有格为 one 加上撇号和 s 。
