英语中如何使用标点符号？

英语标点符号的基本用法：

一.逗号   

1.用于句子中的内容分隔或修饰词间的停顿

2.用于并列名中连词（and,but,or,for,so,nor,yet）前面

3.用于表达日期时的日与年之间

4.用于反意疑问句之前

二.句号

1.用于一句话完全结束时

2.用于表示单词缩写

三.问号

1.用于一个直接的问句后

2.用于特定的问候语后

四.冒号

1.用于正式的引用之前

五.连字号

1.用于某些前缀后

2.用于构成复合词

3.用于同一词的换行

六.撇号

1.构成名词所有格

2.表动词的紧缩

七.双引号

1.用于引出直接引语

八.感叹号

1.用于表感叹和惊叹的陈述中

扩展资料：

英语标点符号在“实战”中经常出现的错误，主要有以下三种类型：

1.对标点符号认识谈薄，使用起来比较随意。如：用中文句号（。）来结束句子；逗号、句号不分，大写、小写不分，乱点一气；在疑问句后也不加问号，或者在间接引语后使用问号。

误用：He came up and asked me what was the matter?

分析：本句为陈述句，所包含的问问是间接引语，自然应当用句号结尾，且要调整语序。

修改：He came up amd asked me what the matter was.

翻译：他上来问我是怎么回事。

2.对句子结构不太理解。中文句号是根据说话都的语意来使用的，即用于一段表达完整的内容之后；而英文中的句号是根据结构来用的，即每一个语法意义完整的句子后用句号。在习作中这种情况很常见。

误用1：I didn’t go to the party yesterdy.Because I had too much homework to do.

分析：此句中，because引出的句子从语法角度看并不完整，而是从属于前面一句（为原因状语从句），因而两句不能用句号隔开。

修改：I didn’t go to the party yesterday.Because I had too much homework to do.

翻译：我昨天没去参加聚会，因为我有太多的家庭作业要做。

3.中英文标点符号用法混淆。

误用1：Hearing what he said,Jack said to himself：“Should I believe him?”

分析：作为中英文兼有的标点符号，冒号在中文里常用在“说、道、讲、问、唱、回答、喊、吼”等动词的后边，或用于“比如、例如”等后，而这类情况下英文中只需用逗号表示。

修改：Hearing what he said,Jack said to himself,“Should I believe him?”

翻译：杰克听到他说的话，自言自语道：“我应该相信他吗？“

必备|标点符号如何翻译？（附使用规则）
比如2016年11月英语三级笔译实务试题原文：Harper Lee was an ordinary woman as stunned as anybody by the extraordinary success of “To Kill a Mockingbird.”
里面的双引号。“To Kill a Mockingbird”，英文中的书名通常是斜体或加引号表示或者大写就可以，因为斜体有时候看着不整齐，译文中文需要加上书名号，书名第一次出现，需要括号加注原英文名（人名也这样处理）。
还比如14年11月CATTI二级笔译英译汉真题原文：WATERLOO, Belgium --- The region around this Belgian city is busily preparing to commemorate the 200th anniversary in 2015 of one of the major battles in European military history.
里面的逗号和破折号。WATERLOO, Belgium比利时滑铁卢：这里考察英语地名从小到大，而且加个逗号，汉语里面是从大到小，不加逗号，比如Shanghai, China翻译为中国上海。这是CATTI英译汉高频翻译细节，可是我今天看了大家提交的译文，基本都这样写的：
WATERLOO, Belgium --- The region 比利时滑铁卢——：破折号的用法和翻译，这是CATTI英译汉高频翻译细节，经常用在文章或报道的开头，引出事件发生的背景（地点）。翻译的时候保持破折号即可。
