special difficulties 难点

 

Speech marks 引号

In written conversation, we put speech marks (‘…’) or (“…”) round the words that are actually spoken. 在书面会话中,我们用引号(单引号或双引号)把实际的对话括起来。

Read this carefully: 细读以下例句:

‘What are you doing?’she asked.

‘I'm banging this picture on the wall, ’I answered. ‘It's a new one. Do you like it?’

She looked at it critically for a moment. ‘It's all right, ’ she said, ‘but isn't it upside down?’(1.12)

Some things to notice:

注意事项:

a The speech marks are above the line. They go outside all other marks like commas(, ) full stops(. )and question marks (?).

引号位于一行之上,它们应在句尾其他标点符号—如逗号、句号、问号—之外。

b The speaker's first word begins with a capital letter.

引语的第一个词以大写字母开头。

c Words like‘said’ and‘asked’ are followed by a comma. We put a full stop after them only when they come at the end of a sentence.

在said,asked等词后面用逗号,只有当它们位于句尾时,才在它们的后面用句号。

d When words like‘said’or‘asked’interrupt the speaker, the second half of the sentence begins with a small letter.

当said,asked等词置于引语之间时,句子的后半部分以小写字母开始。

e We begin a new paragraph each time a new speaker is introduced.

当一个新的说话人开始讲话时,要另起一个段落。

 

Exercise 练习

 

Write this piece of conversation again using speech marks: 用引号改写以下对话:

Look! she said, isn't that man drunk? I think we should cross the road, answered her husband. It's too late now, she replied. Eh, you two. Look where you're going, called the drunk. Can't you walk in a straight line?
