关于Run-Ons

刚开始接触SC时，经常碰到所谓Run-Ons的情况。曾经翻过很多的书，都没有看到一个比较理想的解释。最近偶尔在图书馆看到一本名为《College Writing Skills with Readings》的书，里面专门有一节讲Run-Ons，个人觉得还不错，拿出来跟大家分享~

1、What are Run-Ons
A Run-on is two complete thoughts that are run together with no adequate sign given to mark the break between them.

Some run-ons have no punctuation at all to mark the break between the thoughts. Such run-ons are known as fused sentences: they are fused, or joined together, as if they were only one thought.

Fused sectences
Mario told everyone in the room to be quiet his favorite show was on.
My bolw-drier shorted out I showed up for work with Harpo Marx hair.

In other run-ons, known as comma splices, a comma is used to connect, or "splice" together, the two complete thoughts. However, a comma alone is not enough to connect two complete thoughts. Some stronger connection than a comma alone is needed.

Comma Splices
Mario told everyone in the room to be quiet, his favorite show was on.
My blow-drier shorted out, I showed up for work with Harpo Marx hair.

Comma splices are the most common kind of run-on. Students sense that some kind of connection is needed between two thoughts, and so they often put a comma at the dividing point. But the comma alone is not sufficient. A stronger, clearer mark is needed between the two complete thoughts.

2、How to Correct Run-Ons
Here are three common methods of correcting a run-on:

(1)Use a period and a capital letter to break the two complete thoughts into separate sentences:
Mario told everyone in the room to be quiet. His favorite show was on.
My blow-drier shorted out. I showed up for work with Harpo Marx hair.

(2) Use a comma plus a joining word(and,but,for,or,nor,so,yet)to connect the two complete thoughts:
Mario told everyone in the room to be quiet, for his favorite show was on.
My blow-drier shorted out, and I showed up for work with Harpo Marx hair.

(3)Use a semicolon to connect the two complete thoughts:
Mario told everyone in the room to be quiet; his favorite show was on.
My blow-drier shorted out; I showed up for work with Harpo Marx hair.

lz 解释中有这么一句话~Students sense that some kind of connection is needed between two thoughts, and so they often put a comma at the dividing point. But the comma alone is not sufficient. A stronger, clearer mark is needed between the two complete thoughts.

lz 这怎么来判断呢？请教什么时候是标点不够充足的时候啊~就是什么时候是既要有标点，又要连词的时候？这应该怎么区分呢？求点拨

这个是用连词还是用标点的问题应该不麻烦。可以单独标志一个完整句子结束的标点（比如。；）就是充足的，而不能单独标志一个完整的句子结束的标点（，）就是不充足的，这是就需要连词来帮忙，使两个意思的分隔充足。句子的结束就是一个完整thought的结束。
