我怕读错词,所以读得很慢。
786. how 单纯起引导名词从句的作用,相当于 that,没有“怎样地”意思。

794. 逗号(,)
1)在并列句中,连词(and, but, or, for, so, nor, yet)的前面用逗号。
应当指出,如果两个或三个并列从句都很简短,意思又紧密相连,它们之间可以不用连词而只用逗号:
A memoir is history, it is based on evidence.
2)写日期时,如次序是月-日-年,在日和年之间加逗号。如次序是日-月-年,则不加逗号:
He was born on October 15,1983.
He was born on 15 October 1983.
注意:英文中是没有顿号的,基本上可以说在中文中用顿号的地方可以用逗号取代。
795. 句号(.)
1)省略词一般加句号,如:Mr. Mrs. Ms. B.A. p.m.
注意在B.A. 等词后面那个句号不要丢掉,现在有趋势在省略词后面不加句号,尤其是在团体、通讯社和广播电台名称后面:UN NATO BBC NBC UNESCO
2)如果在一个句子后面使用省略号,后面还得加句号,即变成四个句号。
分号(;)
1)有些起连系作用的副词,如 however, therefore, hence, nevertheless, moreover, thus, otherwise, besides等等,不应该用作连词来联系并列从句,在它们之间应该用分号而不是逗号。
2)如从句内已经已有标点,即使从句中有连词仍应用分号:
Unfortunately, Tom couldn’t come. and his absence made things difficult for us.
3.)如若干项内已有逗号,可用分号将各项分开:
On the committee are quite a few well-known people. for example, Professor Zhao, Dean of the Normal College. Mr. Han, editor-in-chief of the local evening paper. Miss Xu, a popular actress. and Mr. Hu, Director of the Bureau
of Culture.
796. 问号(?)
1)一个文句涉及多项时,各项之后皆可打问号:
Did she buy butter? milk? eggs? apples? books?
2)放在括号中的问号表示不能肯定它前面的那个词、数字或日期的准确性:
The author of this strange book was born in 1078(?) and died in 1135.
797. 引号(“” 或‘’)
1)文章、短篇故事、短诗及歌曲和书中各章节的题目,应用引号标出,应当指出,书刊名称应该用斜体字或字下线标明。
2)引号和其它符号配合使用时,美国的通用方法是:
a.句号和逗号放在引号之内;
b.冒号和分号放在引号之外;
c.破折号、问号和感叹号,如只是与引语有关,放在引号之内;如与整个句子有关,则放在引语之外。
798. 圆括号(())
1)圆括号用来标明插入性的、补充性的或注释性的词语。
2)表示细目的数字或字母一般放在圆括号中。
799. 方括号([ ])
1)标明引语中引用者加的或说明部分。
2)如圆括号中还需用括号,则用方括号代替圆括号。
800. 斜体字和字下线
在手写稿和打印稿中,字下线和印刷品中的斜体字功用相同。
1)书籍、杂志、报纸、剧本、长诗及歌剧的名称要用字下线或斜体字标明。
2)英语中外来词应用字下线或斜体字标明。
3)船只、飞机和艺术作品的民称应用字下线或斜体字标明。
4)提及某一词或字母时,应用字下线或斜体字标明。
5)字下线或斜体字有时可以表示强调:What a man does is more important than what he says.
