英语作文引用名言的标点符号:引号Quotation Marks(“”‘’),在英文输入法状态下电脑键盘上按Shift+‘就是双引号,‘键就是单引号。
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.
需要注意:
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。
打单引号。
句点
句点用于当一句话完全结束时。
句点也可以用于英文单词的缩写。如:Mr.. | Dr. | P.S. 等。但要注意的是当缩写
的字母形成了一个单词的时候就不要使用句点。如:IBM, DNA 等。
问号要用在一个直接的问句,而不是间接的。
如:How will you solve the problem? 是正确的用法,但用在I wonder how you
will solve the problem?就不对了,应该使用句点而不是问号。
另外,在客气的用语中,也是用句点而不是问号。
如:Will you please give me a call tomorrow.
感叹号用于感叹和惊叹的陈述中,在商业写作中要注意感叹号的应用,因为不恰当的使
用会显得突兀及不稳重。
.与中文一样,分号用于分隔地位平等的独立子句。在某些情况下,使用分号比使用句
点更显出子句之间的紧密联系,另外分号也经常与连接副词 thus, however,
therefore一起使用(放在这些词语之前)。
如:I realize I need exercise; however, I’ll lie down first to think about
it.
2.在句子中如果已经使用过逗点,为了避免歧义的产生,就用分号来分隔相似的内容。
如:The employees were Tom Hanks, the manager; Jim White, the engineer; and
Dr. Jack Lee.
需要注意的是:一个完整的句子以大写字母开始,以句点结束。写英文时用逗点代替句
点、分号、冒号或破折号叫“逗号错”,这正是中国学生所要避免的。
请比较下列例句:
错:It was raining hard, they could not work in the fields.
(上面句子中划横线的部分是两个不同的主语,而且逗点前后的句子是完整的-----单
独拿出来都能代表一个完整的意思。因此,用逗号违反了英文规定,即一个句子只能有
一套主干。)
对:It was raining hard; they could not work in the fields.
It was raining hard. They could not work in the fields.
It was raining so hard that they could not work in the fields.
They could not work in the fields because it was raining hard.
It was raining hard, so they could not work in the fields.
As it was raining hard, they could not work in the fields.
错:The essay is poorly organized, there is no central idea.
对:The essay is poorly organized; there is no central idea.
The essay is poorly organized: there is no central idea.
冒号用于对后面内容的介绍或解释。如:This is her plan: go shopping.
冒号用于名单之前,特别是一个竖排的名单。
We transferred three employees tonew branches:
Tony Wang to New York City
Mike Jackson to Tokyo
Mark Foster to Paris
当名单横排的时候,冒号要用在一个完整的句子之后。如:We need seven people:
three students, three engineers, and a professor.
冒号用于一个正式的引用之前。
如:The professor said: “It was horrible.”
冒号也可用于商业或正式信函的称谓后面。
如:Dear Mr. Lee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。)
冒号用于数字时间的表示。
如:16:45 或 4:45 p.m.
冒号用于主标题和副标题之间。
如:Web Directory: World and Non-U.S. Economic Data
引用名言的标点符号即引号,用右手小指击打。
引号表示文中引用的部分。有双引号和单引号两种,分别标志为“”『』和‘’「」。其中『』和「」为曲尺形的引号,在“”‘’西式引号中不方便使用的时候使用,最早来自日本的钩括弧(日语的“钩括弧”在日语中不全是引号)。但是港澳台地区已经习惯在横排时使用『』和「」。
引号分为单引号和双引号两大类。单引号和双引号由前引号和后引号组成。
引号的作用如下:
☆
1. 表示引用。
引语指行文中引用他人的话。成语、格言、诗词等, 也包括拟声词、音译词。特定称谓指具有某些特点的名称、简称、专用术语以及纪念日等。特殊含义指引号中的词语在其具体的语言环境中产生了新的意思。
使用引用时,引文末尾标点的位置要注意。 凡是把引用的话独立来用,末尾点号放在引号里边。如果引用的内容是句子的一个组成部分,即引文没有独立性,引用部分末尾不用点号(问号、叹号可保留),整个句子该停顿处则停顿,该用何点号则用何点号。
2. 表示特定称谓。
3. 表示特殊含义。
4.表示讽刺或否定意义。
5.突出强调。

Short quotations
To indicate short quotations (fewer than four typed lines of prose or three lines of verse) in your text, enclose the quotation within double quotation marks. Provide the author and specific page citation (in the case of verse, provide line numbers) in the text, and include a complete reference on the Works Cited page. Punctuation marks such as periods, commas, and semicolons should appear after the parenthetical citation. Question marks and exclamation points should appear within the quotation marks if they are a part of the quoted passage but after the parenthetical citation if they are a part of your text.
For example, when quoting short passages of prose, use the following examples:
According to some, dreams express "profound aspects of personality" (Foulkes 184), though others disagree.
According to Foulkes's study, dreams may express "profound aspects of personality" (184).
Is it possible that dreams may express "profound aspects of personality" (Foulkes 184)?
When short (fewer than three lines of verse) quotations from poetry, mark breaks in short quotations of verse with a slash, ( / ), at the end of each line of verse (a space should precede and follow the slash).
Cullen concludes, "Of all the things that happened there / That's all I remember" (11-12).
简单的说,英语里边的标点我都是直接在汉语输入法的基础上单击shift,然后就输入相应的符号,ok了之后单击shift就重新回到汉语输入上了
