解读阅读中九大符点释放的信号

  【摘要】得阅读者得天下。阅读的考察大到篇章，小到标点符号，都是我们要掌握各个细节，知己知彼方能百战不殆。

  逗号 comma

  用于分割并列成分。半岛星空体育·(中国)官方网站重点：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 period/full stop

  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。比如Entreprise Co., Ltd或者I invited Tom, Jerry, etc..(注意两个点)。

  3、用作小数点

  问号

  半岛星空体育·(中国)官方网站英语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。Eg1. 半岛星空体育·(中国)官方网站难道没有价值吗?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(colon)

       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。

  Eg.1997 passage 3 Q2

  60. The word "pervasive" (Line 1, Paragraph 2) might mean ________.
  [A] widespread     [B] overwhelming
  [C] piercing           [D] fashionable

  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(semi-colon)

       前后是并列关系，包括结构上并列和语义上的并列。

  For us, this means that evolution is over; the biological Utopia has arrived. (2000 Passage2)

  引号(quotation marks)：①引用 ②强调 ③讽刺

  Eg1 “Scientific” creationism, which is being pushed by some for “equal time” in the classrooms whenever the scientific accounts of evolution are given, is based on religion, not science.

  括号(parentheses ) 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. (1997，Text 3)

  破折号(dash)

  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(ellipsis) ...

  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...
