高二英语备考：英语标点的正确使用(四)思维导图

四、Ellipsis (...) 省略号

英文省略号的写法是三个小黑点(...)，而中文是则是六点(……)。用法如下：

4.1句子删节

4.1.1表示在引号中的删节：

1. "...into that good night."

2."You won't..." Lois began. (错误："You won't...,")

3."Then you'd blast off...on screen, as if you were looking out...of a spaceship."

-------------------------------------------------

4.1.2在句子中间删节，跟着省略号的字母必须小写：

1. He agreed that prices were...reasonable.

-------------------------------------------------

4.1.3 句尾删节，要点四点(....)：

1. She disagreed with the decision.... (最后一点是句号? )

=================================================

4.2 表示在对话或叙述中的停顿、犹豫、踌躇、语气强调等：

1.Clutching at his throat, he gasped, "Help...help me."

2.He seemed nervous...stared straight ahead...kept twitching and

jerking...then he ran for shelter.

3.You mean...I...uh...we have a test today?

=================================================

4.3段落的删节

4.3.1删节一段以上，以一行小点代之：

This is paragraph 1.

................................. (表示删节第2-4段)

This is paragraph 5.

---------------------------------------------------

4.3.2如果段落删节开始开某段的中间，点四点表示下面的文字被删节：

This is....(这里点四点，表示从这里开始删节)

....................(这里点一行，表示其中的段落被删节)

This is paragraph 5.

---------------------------------------------------

4.3.3 如果删节的最后一段只省略中间的一部份，最后一段的开始处点三点：

This is paragraph 1.

................................

...is paragraph 5.(...表示它之前的第五段文字被省略)

====================================================
