商務英語高級寫作：不為標點煩惱

　　也許你已經(jīng)學會了很多英文寫作技巧和文章類型，但你注意過寫作中標點符號的細節(jié)嗎?在英文寫作中各個標點符號怎么使用，分別表達了怎樣的含義?本文給出了英語寫作技巧小提示。

　　I have recently received some enquiries from new clients asking me to help them with their writing skills in English.

　　最近，我收到一些客戶的詢問，請求我?guī)椭�他們解決英語寫作技巧的問題。

　　This gave me an idea of starting a new series entitled English Writing Skills. In this series I will explore the different techniques that are required to produce good writing both in academia and business. The areas I plan to cover will vary from developing arguments through the use of linkers, punctuation, spelling and correct register (formal versus informal).

　　這讓我有了開始一系列名為英語寫作技巧的主意。在這個系列中，我將提出不同的寫作技巧，能夠滿足學術(shù)和商業(yè)領(lǐng)域的寫作需求。這個系列我計劃通過連接詞、標點符號、拼寫和準確定位(正規(guī)和不正規(guī)比較)來覆蓋各種不同的論據(jù)。

　　If there are any aspects of writing that you’d like me to write about, please do let me know and I will happily add it to the series.

　　如果你想要我說明關(guān)于寫作的某些方面，請告訴我，我非常樂意將它加入到這個系列中。

　　In this first post of the series, I have decided to examine three punctuation symbols that are used in writing but are often confused and consequently ignored by many people –the dash (-), semicolon (;) and colon (:).

　　在這個系列的第一篇文章中，我決定剖析三個標點符號，它們是大家在寫作中會經(jīng)常使用的，但也是經(jīng)常感到困惑和經(jīng)常忽略的符號----破折號(-),分號 (;) 和冒號 (:)

　　I found this extremely helpful and informative infographic prepared by Grammar Net. According to Grammar Net: “ Dashes, semicolons and colons are potent punctuation. They add clarity, call attention to sentence elements and improve the “flow,” but they also add drama and are destructive if over-used.

　　我發(fā)現(xiàn)一個由語法網(wǎng)準備的一個非常有幫助、涵蓋了有用信息的信息圖。根據(jù)語法網(wǎng)定義：破折號、分號和冒號都是有效的標點符號。他們增加了句子成分的清晰度，吸引人注意并提高句子的連貫性，但是如果使用過度，也會增加句子的戲劇性，對句子造成破壞性。

　　This infographic provides a clear explanation of how to use these symbols. Let me know what you think. The infographic refers to period as a punctuation symbol. “Period” is American English. “Full Stop” is British English.

　　這張信息圖對如何使用這些符號給出了一個清晰的闡述。讓我知道你是怎么想的。信息圖涉及到了作為標點符號的句號。“period”(句號)是美式英語的表達。“Full stop”(句號)是英式英語的表達
