分號的用法,后面是完整句子。
(1)分號用以連接兩個緊密相關的句子,這兩個句子又是分別相對完整的句子。(說是“相對”,是因為雖然語法上都能單獨成句,但是邏輯意思上第二句單獨出來的話就說不通)
EG: Andrew and Lisa are inseparable; they do everything together.
(2)用分號連接的兩句應該是獨立、平衡的。如果原句有從屬關系,那么應該保留。
(3)分號后經(jīng)常跟一些鏈接副詞(注意這些詞不是真正的連詞,不能用逗號替代分號),如however, therefore, in addition.
EG: Wrong: Andrew and Lisa are inseparable, THEREFORE, we never see them apart.
Right: Andrew and Lisa are inseparable; THEREFORE, we never see them apart.
(4)分號還有個主要的用法:用來隔開帶逗號的一串名詞。
EG: Wrong: I listen to Earth, Wind & Fire, Wow, Owls, and Blood, Sweat & Tears.
Right: I listen to Earth, Wind & Fire; Wow, Owls; and Blood, Sweat & Tears.
