冒號,破折號,分號及括號的使用與寫作風格關系緊密,因此本章主要介紹它們的用法。本章很少涉及其它標點:如逗號,句號,連字符。下面,筆者對它們的用法以問答形式略談一二: 問:如果連續(xù)使用兩個形容詞,可用逗號分開它們嗎? 答:在"Singapore is a clean, friendly city state"一句中,逗號代替了"and"。 連續(xù)兩個形容詞同時修飾一個名詞時,可用逗號把它們隔開。但當其中一個形容詞修飾另一形容詞時,不需要用逗號隔開它們: On my way back home, I stared at the pale blue sky. 問:何時用連字符連接單詞? 答:1. 參見字典; 2. 參考the goal of preventing misreading一書。 3. 連字符常用于連接比較常用的復合詞,使之成為一詞。 air craft air-craft aircraft type setting type-setting typesetting screen play screen-play screenplay data base data-base database 采用連字符連接的兩個詞,意思可一目了然。例如,沒用連字符的合成詞light year,字面意思是一年比另一年不重要;加上連字符,我們就很清楚light-year是光年的意思。 通常,我們在處理名詞前兩個或多個詞的組合時,可用連字符。 例:know-how ready-to-wear faster-than-expected production life-form state-of-the-art technology medium-range missiles 當這一群詞用作形容詞時,僅對它們所修飾的名詞之前的詞使用連字符。 It was a fast-paced city life. 即City life is fast paced. Bring me the up-to-date report. 即Bring me up to date. 還有,以"-ly"結尾的副詞不用連字符。 Wrong: We do not work with financially-unstable organizations. Correct: We do not work with financially unstable organizations. Wrong: We are required to attend all regularly-scheduled meetings. Correct: We are required to attend all regularly scheduled meetings. 問:你贊成省略縮略語的中間或末尾的句點嗎? 答:這是一個關于寫作風格和品味的問題,有些編者對縮略語用句點;有些則不用。用與不用取決于你。我的建議是,一旦你決定采用哪種方式,就不宜改變。 專有名詞中的句點應該保留。
