句号

句号(Period或Full Stop)有下面用法:

1.用在陈述句后:

He came here.

He will help me.

但不可用在书名、文章题目、诗歌标题后面,即使是一个句子:

She Stoops to Conquer

My Days Have Been Wondrous Free

2.用在祈使句后:

Come here.

Be good enough to help me.

3.用在形式上为问句而实质上是祈使句的句子后:

Would you take dinner with me.(或?)

Could you wait a few minutes.(或?)

4.用在省略句后:

“Is he worried?”“No,just doubtful.Doubtful of every- thing.”

“Who did it?”“George.”

“John,can you pay me back?”“Not today.”

5.用在主体词后以强调在句末同位语:

He is a great man.A social reformer like Gandhi.

—即使主体词是一主语,亦然:

They all attended the party.Politicians,scientists,and engineers.

—如此句号也可强调句末副词(短语):

He works every day.Assiduously and patiently.

He has lost confidence.In the world and himself.

He works extremely hard.In order to make money.

—也可强调状语从句:

He lost more and more friends.Because he became poorer and poorer.

One can accomplish anything.If one has patience enough.

6.句号也可用于书信中地址的结尾以及日期的后面:

Johnson and Company,

988 King's Street,

Hongkong.

May 16,1982.

The Manager,

Vin Loi Trading Company,

684 Mekong Street,

Bangkok,Thailand.

这些句号可以省略,而逗号有些也可省略,但地址及日期内部的逗号不能省略(如Bangkok,Thailand和May 16,1982)。

7.句号可用在小数前(前面是整数,后面是小数),作为小数点:

$23. 541(=twenty-three dollars and something)

—注意在数字中逗号和句号的差别:

$478,607,823.541

8.用在缩写词后面(可称为缩写号,现在在英国多省略):

Mr.Esq.Mrs.Dr.Rev.St.Jr.Ph.D.Bros.;

Y.M.C.A.U.S.I.S B.B.C.;Co.C.I.F.C.O.D.;

32gr.6ft.4in.; 9A.M.450 B.C.A.D.1150

—如果一个组织已很著名,句号可以省略:

USIS UNO UNRRA UNESCO USSR TVR NBC

—有些缩写词可以分音节,像一个普通词那样读音:

UNO[>U(:::QoQ],UNRRA[>)QT+],USAF[>U(::K$G].

—缩写词如果不能分音节,则必须按每个字母原来的音读

(如bi:bi:si:):

B.B.C.Y.M.C.A.USN

—注意,在下面这些字后不加句号:M,Miss;OE;Henry V,Book Four;1st,2nd,3rd,4th;via,vide,en route;‘flu,Pub,cab,bus,zoo;Fred,Sam;H2O,CaCo3.

9.用在括号内的完整句子中:

He was very ill that day.(I knew very well that he was.)

But he refused to see the doctor.
