中国学生7种常见标点错误

中国学生7种常见标点错误

一．顿号错误

顿号在汉语中起分割句子中的并列成分作用；英语中没有顿号，分割句中的并列成分多用逗号。

例1：She slowly、carefully、deliberately moved the box.

She slowly, carefully (,) and deliberately moved the box.

例2：My sister bought a lot of fruits for me, such as banana、orange、apple and pear.

My sister bought a lot of fruits for me, such as banana, orange, apple (,) and pear.

二．书名号错误《》

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》

The Analects of Confucius/the Analects of Confucius 《论语》

The Economist/The Economist《经济学人》Tsinghua, Yantze

三．省略号错误……

英文中省略号为三个点…，句后的省略号和本句句号在一起，正确的应是在一条直线上的四个黑点，前三个黑点表示省略号，后一个黑点表示句号。things…. etc.,

四．冒号错误：

冒号是中英文兼具的标点符号。受汉

语影响，有两种常见错误。

1）在汉语中，冒号是表示提示性话语之后的停顿，常用在“说、道、讲、问、唱、回答、喊、吼”等动词的后面，以标明下面的话是谁说的。受此用法影响，于是出现了下列英文句子标点：

例1：I thought to myself : “What kind of trap is she laying?”

I thought to myself ,“What kind of trap is she laying?”

例2：He asked : “Where are you from?”

He asked , “Where are you from?”2) 汉语中的冒号还可用在“如此”“如

下”“例如”“像”等引起下文的提示语后边。在英文表达中，“for example”（例如）一类的词常用逗号代替冒号。

例3：Good manners can be seen in everyday life. For example: a person with good manners is kind and helpful to others.

Good manners can be seen in everyday life. For example, a person with good manners is kind and helpful to others.

五．破折号错误（—）

汉语中的破折号表明行文中解释说明部分，而英文同位语也具有同等说明功能，故英文写作中用破折号连接同位语成份的错误非常之多。

例1：We are studying and living at the famous universities—Beijing University.

We are studying and living at the famous universities，Beijing University. Obama, the current American president,

注：在英语中，对于同位语，它一般使用逗号而不用破折号。英文中破折号用法远没有中文的丰富。

6．逗号错误（，）

如前文所述，很多考生不注意标点的使用，一个段落只有一个句号，其余全是逗号，存在“一逗到底”的错误。具体来说，又有以下4种典型情况。

1）误把however, therefore, because, thus 等起联系作用的副词当成并列连词，导致写作中的逗号泛滥。例如：She thought what the teacher pointed out was right, however, she didn’t care for that.

两个完整的句子或两个并列句之间不能一概用逗号点开，可用句号、分号或在逗号后加并列连词(and, but, or, for, so, nor, yet, )等方法修改。

修改：She thought what the teachers pointed out was right. However, she didn’t care for that.

She thought what the teacher pointed out was right; however, she didn’t care for that.

She thought what the teacher pointed

out was right, but she didn’t care. 2)在部分副词如perhaps，so后加逗号。如:

例1：Perhaps, their biggest problem is that they do not have enough to do. Perhaps their biggest problem is that they do not have enough to do. Undoubtedly, the earth is the sole/only planet where it is possible for life beings to live/exist in the solar system.

例2：So, they keep in touch with each other merely by writing letters and phoning now.

So they keep in touch with each other merely by writing letters and phoning now.

3)将几套主干用逗号连接一个句子之
