英語四六級寫作中標點符號的使用技巧
I have recently received some enquiries from new clients asking me to help them with their writing skills in English。
最近，我收到一些客戶的詢問，請求我?guī)椭麄兘鉀Q英語寫作技巧的問題。
This gave me an idea of starting a new series entitled English Writing Skills. In this series I will explore the different techniques that are required to produce good writing both in academia and business. The areas I plan to cover will vary from developing arguments through the use of linkers, punctuation, spelling and correct register (formal versus informal)。
這讓我有了開始一系列名為英語寫作技巧的主意。在這個系列中，我將提出不同的寫作技巧，能夠滿足學術和商業(yè)領域的寫作需求。這個系列我計劃通過連接詞、標點符號、拼寫和準確定位(正規(guī)和不正規(guī)比較)來覆蓋各種不同的論據(jù)。
If there are any aspects of writing that you’d like me to write about, please do let me know and I will happily add it to the series。
如果你想要我說明關于寫作的某些方面，請告訴我，我非常樂意將它加入到這個系列中。
In this first post of the series, I have decided to examine three punctuation symbols that are used in writing but are often confused and consequently ignored by many people – the dash (-)， semicolon (；) and colon (：)。
在這個系列的第一篇文章中，我決定剖析三個標點符號，它們是大家在寫作中會經(jīng)常使用的，但也是經(jīng)常感到困惑和經(jīng)常忽略的`符號----破折號(-)，分號 (；) 和冒號 (：)
I found this extremely helpful and informative infographic prepared by Grammar Net. According to Grammar Net: “ Dashes, semicolons and colons are potent punctuation. They add clarity, call attention to sentence elements and improve the “flow,” but they also add drama and are destructive if over-used。
我發(fā)現(xiàn)一個由語法網(wǎng)準備的一個非常有幫助、涵蓋了有用信息的信息圖。根據(jù)語法網(wǎng)定義：破折號、分號和冒號都是有效的標點符號。他們增加了句子成分的清晰度，吸引人注意并提高句子的連貫性，但是如果使用過度，也會增加句子的戲劇性，對句子造成破壞性。
This infographic provides a clear explanation of how to use these symbols. Let me know what you think. The infographic refers to period as a punctuation symbol. “Period” is American English. “Full Stop” is British English。
這張信息圖對如何使用這些符號給出了一個清晰的闡述。讓我知道你是怎么想的。信息圖涉及到了作為標點符號的句號�！皃eriod”(句號)是美式英語的表達。“Full stop”(句號)是英式英語的表達。

Dashes creat a powerful speed bump and can destroy the flow of writing if used too often。
破折號表達一種強有力的停頓，如果使用太頻繁會破壞寫作的流暢性。
Dashes → Interruption of thought or conversation。
破折號→表示想法或談話中斷
