2012-03-30 21:45:57關(guān)注度: 0
導(dǎo)讀:Colons (:) 冒號 冒號在中文或英文里都是一個(gè)相當(dāng)常見的標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號,在用法上也大致一樣。 注意: * 冒號前不可有空格 * 冒號后可加一空格 * 冒號后千萬不要加- (如 :-) --------------------------------------------------- 大家先來看看下面的例子,你以為

  Colons (:) 冒號

  冒號在中文或英文里都是一個(gè)相當(dāng)常見的標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號,在用法上也大致一樣。

  注意:

  * 冒號前不可有空格

  * 冒號后可加一空格

  * 冒號后千萬不要加- (如 :-)

  ---------------------------------------------------

  大家先來看看下面的例子,你以為句子中的冒號用法對嗎?

  For our camping trip, I brought: a lantern, a sleeping bag, food, water, and

  a flashlight.

  如果你的答案是對,那你就錯(cuò)了!這是一個(gè)常見的冒號用法上的錯(cuò)誤。正確的用法,看

  下去就會(huì)明白了。這里且讓我們從最簡單的用法開始吧。

  ------------------------------------------

  6.1 冒號用在公函上收信人的稱呼

  Dear Sir: (你看,冒號前沒有任何空格喔)

  We were very honored to have you come visit our company.

  ============================================

  6.2 冒號用于分開標(biāo)題和副標(biāo)題(當(dāng)一標(biāo)題需要進(jìn)一步說明時(shí)所加上的副標(biāo)題)

  1. Math Applications: Using Calculus to Determine the Age of Rocks

  (標(biāo)題Math Applications和副標(biāo)題Using Calculus to Determine the Age of Rocks之

  間以冒號隔開)

  2. I recommend Chinnery"s book Oak Furniture: the British Tradition. (Oak

  Furniture是書名,the British Tradition是副標(biāo)題)

  =============================================

  6.3 冒號必須加在完整句子或獨(dú)立子句之后

  最常見的冒號用法上的錯(cuò)誤就是將冒號放在完整句或獨(dú)立子句的中間??纯聪旅娴睦?/p>

 ?。?/p>

  Every repairman must have: a screwdriver, a hammer, and a saw.

  其中Every repairman must have是不是有完整的意思呢?顯然意思并不完整。因此句

  子中的冒號是多馀的。如果要用冒號的話,上面句子應(yīng)該寫成下面的樣子:

  There are three things every repairman must have: a screwdriver, a hammer,

  and a saw.

  看看冒號前There are three things every repairman must have,它是不是有完整的

  意思呢?“每一位修理員必備三樣?xùn)|西”可見意思是完整的,雖然你還會(huì)問是哪三樣?xùn)|

  西呢?因此冒號后面就列出那三樣?xùn)|西了。

  現(xiàn)在我們知道在冒號前必須是的完整意思的句子或子句,跟冒號后的可不一定是個(gè)句子

  或子句。它可能是一個(gè)列表,甚至可能只是一個(gè)單詞。因此前面舉的那個(gè)例子錯(cuò)在哪里

  也就明白了吧。下面給出它的正誤句:

  錯(cuò)誤句:For our camping trip, I brought: a lantern, a sleeping bag, food,

  water, and a flashlight.

  正確句:For our camping trip, I brought various essential items: a lantern,

  a sleeping bag, food, water, and a flashlight.

  --------------------------------------------

  6.3.1 一些例子

  1. Africa is facing a terrifying problem: perpetual drought(持續(xù)干旱). (冒號

  后說明非洲所面對的困境)

  2. The situation is clear: if you have unprotected sex with a stranger, you

  risk AIDS. (說明你的處境是什么)

  3. She was sure of one thing: she was not going to be a housewife. (說明她

  肯定的是什么事)

  4. We found the place easily: your directions were perfect. (說明為什么那么

  容易找到那個(gè)地方)

  5. Several friends have provided me with inspiration: Tim, Ian, and above

  all, Larry. (說明是哪幾個(gè)朋友)

  ------------------------------------------------

  6.3.2 反過來也行

  1. Saussure, Sapir, Bloomfield, Chomsky: all these have revolutionized

  linguistics in one way or another.

  ================================================

  6.4 冒號用于注明引用圣經(jīng)的章節(jié)

  1. The story of Menahem is found in II Kings 15:1422.

  ================================================

  6.5 冒號用于表示比例

  1. Among students of French, women outnumber men by more than 4:1. (4:1=4比

  1,用文字說就是by more than four to one)

  ================================================
