急！！晚马上考试了!本月jj中多道破折号的题，求破折号详解和例题

The dash (-) is a flexible punctuation mark that the GMAT occasionally employs. You can use a dash as an emphatic comma, semicolon or colon.
For instance, you should use dashes to separate an appositive from an item in a list
You can also use the dash to restate or explain an earlier part of the sentence. Unlike the colon, the dash does not need to be immediately preceded by the part needing explanation.

刚才搜索了一下，之前有人提到过：
用破折号隔开的成分相当于插入语祈祷额外解释作用，去掉后不影响句子结构。 做补充说明句子或短语、同位语、插入、并列的事物。
用分号将长句分割成了两个相对独立的分居，两分局不存在从从属关系，属于一个层次句
用冒号可以连接两个不同的句子，后面一个句子作为前面一个的解释说明。
