资料来源：Prentice Hall Handbook for Writers (Ch.45) When only part of a word will fit at the end of a line, divide the word between syllables and use a hyphen to indicate the break. Always place the hyphen at the end of the line after the first part of a divided word, not at the beginning of the next line on which you complete the word. When you are in doubt about the syllabication of a word, consult a good dic- tionary. Desk dictionaries normally use dots to divide words between syllables: bank‧rupt, col‧lec‧tive, ma‧lig‧nant, punc‧ture. Note that not every syl- lable marks an appropriate point at which to divide a word at the end of a line. If a word cannot be correctly divided between syllables, move the entire word to the beginning of the next line. a. Do not divide words pronounced as one syllable. WRONG thr-ee cl-own yearn-ed scream-ed REVISED three clown yearned screamed b. Do not divide a word so that a single letter stands alone on a line. WRONG wear-y e-rupt a-way o-val REVISED weary erupt away oval c.When dividing a compound word that already contains a hyphen, make the break only where the hyphen occurs. AWKWARD pre-Dar-winian well-in-formed Pan-Amer-ican REVISED pre-Darwinian well-informed Pan-American d. Divide compound words only between the parts.
