10個(gè)標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)與英文寫(xiě)作（3）

　　用在一句完整的話(huà)之后，用來(lái)引入一個(gè)或多個(gè)直接相關(guān)的內(nèi)容，如一串指示、一串例項(xiàng)、一段引語(yǔ)，或其他用來(lái)解釋或進(jìn)一步闡釋前面的陳述的內(nèi)容。例：The daily newspaper contains four sections: news, sports, entertainment, and classified ads. /The strategies of corporatist industrial unionism have proven ineffective: compromises and concessions have left labor in a weakened position in the new "flexible" economy.

　　冒號(hào)也用來(lái)分隔圣經(jīng)里的章節(jié)和詩(shī)節(jié)(I Parlipomenon 12:30)，分隔分、秒、時(shí)(13：49：08)，或在表情中用來(lái)代表眼睛。

　　4. 分號(hào)

　　用來(lái)連接并列復(fù)合句中的獨(dú)立分句。例：Jim worked hard to earn his degree; consequently, he was certain to achieve a distinction. /Jane overslept by three hours;; she was going to be late for work again.

　　在列舉的時(shí)候，如果列舉項(xiàng)里已經(jīng)有逗號(hào)，用分號(hào)分隔各列舉項(xiàng)。例：Members of the band include Harold Rostein, clarinetist; Tony Aluppo, tuba player; and Lee Jefferson, trumpeter.

　　3. 撇號(hào)

　　撇號(hào)有三種用法：

　　1)形成名詞所有格

　　2)表示有字母省略

　　3)表示小寫(xiě)字母的復(fù)數(shù)形式

　　形成名詞所有格。例：the boy's hat /three days' journey

　　如果of后的名詞指建筑、物體或家具，不需要撇號(hào)。例：the car door。

　　表示省略。例：He'll go = He will go /could've = could have (不是could of!)

　　用在復(fù)數(shù)形式中：

　　用在小寫(xiě)字母復(fù)數(shù)形式中。例：Mind your p's and q's
