LZ从Manhattan的SC分册上正好翻到这部分,貌似这次SC题库考得挺多。于是我按照自己的理解在之前NN的基础上精简并翻译了下,希望对同是10月的XDJM有所裨益。
希望考过的同学也能看看,有没有覆盖到考点。先行谢过。
语法区我也发了篇,怕大家看不到,想想还是在寂静区在发一遍吧。
(1)分号用以连接两个紧密相关的句子,这两个句子又是分别相对完整的句子。(说是“相对”,是因为虽然语法上都能单独成句,但是逻辑意思上第二句单独出来的话就说不通)
EG: Andrew and Lisa are inseparable; they doeverything together.
(2)用分号连接的两句应该是独立、平衡的。如果原句有从属关系,那么应该保留。
(3)分号后经常跟一些链接副词(注意这些词不是真正的连词,不能用逗号替代分号),如however,therefore, in addition.
EG: Wrong: Andrew and Lisa are inseparable, THEREFORE,we never see them apart.
Right: Andrewand Lisa are inseparable; THEREFORE, we never see them apart.
(4)分号还有个主要的用法:用来隔开带逗号的一串名词。
EG: Wrong: I listen to Earth, Wind & Fire,Wow, Owls, and Blood, Sweat & Tears.
Right: Ilisten to Earth, Wind & Fire;Wow, Owls; and Blood, Sweat & Tears.
(1)冒号是对前面提出的信息起补充说明作用,可以在冒号后面加namely或者thatis。
(2)冒号前的分句必须能够单独成句,冒号后的则不一定。
EG: The rate of a reaction is affected by threefactors: concentration, surface area, and temperature.
(4)冒号后可以加入一个主句,用以解释冒号前的内容。
EG: On January 1, 2000, the national mood wascompletely different from what it would become just a few years later: at theturn of the century, given a seemingly unstoppable stock market and a seeminglypeaceful world, the country was content.
(1)破折号的用法很富有弹性,既可以作强调作用,也能充当冒号,分号。
(2)有时候为了突出主要内容或者解释时,破折号更佳。
EG: My three best friends-Danny, Jimmy, and Joey-and Iwent skiing. (用逗号就变7个人了)
(3)破折号还可以重复或者解释前半句的内容。但又和冒号不同,破折号不一定立刻放在被解释内容之后。
EG: Post-MBA compensation for investment bankers tends tosurge far ahead of that for management consultants-by tens, if not hundreds, ofthousands of dollars a year. |
