※ 引述《zo4 (懶懶蟲)》之銘言： : 推 Lovetech:以前看到一個說法是 ; = , and 05/25 20:40 : 推 a007son:不是 . +，嗎？ 05/25 20:41 : → Lovetech:我很確定不是樓上那個用法 05/25 20:45 : → Lovetech:http://tinyurl.com/pq4m6h 這邊有解釋 05/25 20:47 連結我打不開 不過 semicolon 應該不是用符號+符號或什麼的做定義 @@ 首先看看 Wikipedia Semicolons are followed by a lower case letter, unless that letter begins a proper noun. They have no spaces before them, but one or two spaces after. Applications of the semicolon in English include: * Between closely related independent clauses not conjoined with a co-ordinating conjunction: ★ "I went to the swimming pool; I was told it was closed for routine maintenance." ★ "A man chooses; a slave obeys." * Between independent clauses linked with a transitional phrase or a conjunctive adverb: ★ "I like to eat cows; however, I don't like to be eaten by them." * Between items in a series or listing containing internal punctuation, especially parenthetic commas, where the semicolons function as serial commas: ★ "She saw three men: Donald, who came from New Zealand; Jon, the milkman's son; and George, a gaunt kind of man." ★ "Several fast food restaurants can be found in each of London, England; Paris, France; Dublin, Ireland; and Madrid, Spain." ★ "Examples of familiar sequences are: one, two, and three; a, b, and c; and first, second, and third." 分號後面跟著小寫字母，除非是特殊名詞。分號前面沒有空格，後面則有一或兩個空 格。英文中分號的用法如下： * 兩個高度相關的獨立子句且沒有連接詞 ★ "I went to the swimming pool; I was told it was closed for routine maintenance." ★ "A man chooses; a slave obeys." * 兩個用轉折詞或連接副詞連結的獨立子句 ★ "I like to eat cows; however, I don't like to be eaten by them." * 一連串的清單事物或其中有符號（尤其是插入型的逗號），此時分號用法如逗號。 ★ "She saw three men: Donald, who came from New Zealand; Jon, the milkman's son; and George, a gaunt kind of man." ★ "Several fast food restaurants can be found in each of London, England; Paris, France; Dublin, Ireland; and Madrid, Spain." ★ "Examples of familiar sequences are: one, two, and three; a, b, and c; and first, second, and third." 不過我們都知道只用 wiki 會被笑不專業 （不爽自己寫阿） 那我們來看看 Universary Purdue 的 Online Writing Laboratory 中怎麼寫的？ Commas vs. Semicolons in Compound Sentences A group of words containing a subject and a verb and expressing a complete thought is called a sentence or an independent clause. Sometimes, an independent clause stands alone as a sentence, and sometimes two independent clauses are linked together into what is called a compound sentence. Depending on the circumstances, one of two different punctuation marks can be used between the independent clauses in a compound sentence: a comma or a semicolon. The choice is yours. Comma (,) Use a comma after the first independent clause when you link two independent clauses with one of the following coordinating conjunctions: and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet. For example: ★ "I am going home, and I intend to stay there." ★ "It rained heavily during the afternoon, but we managed to have our picnic anyway." ★ "They couldn't make it to the summit and back before dark, so they decided to camp for the night." Semicolon (;) Use a semicolon when you link two independent clauses with no connecting words. For example: ★ "I am going home; I intend to stay there." ★ "It rained heavily during the afternoon; we managed to have our picnic anyway." ★ "They couldn't make it to the summit and back before dark; they decided to camp for the night." You can also use a semicolon when you join two independent clauses together with one of the following conjunctive adverbs (adverbs that join independent clauses): however, moreover, therefore, consequently, otherwise, nevertheless, thus, etc. For example: ★ "I am going home; moreover, I intend to stay there." ★ "It rained heavily during the afternoon; however, we managed to have our picnic anyway." ★ "They couldn't make it to the summit and back before dark; therefore, they decided to camp for the night." For more information about compound sentence patterns, see the Purdue OWL handout on Sentence Punctuation Patterns. 複合句中的逗號與分號 一組包含主詞及動詞且具有完整意義的單詞群，即為句子或獨立子句。有時候一個獨 立子句即可成為句子；有時候句子則是兩個獨立子句連結成的複合句。在這前提下， 以下兩種符號可能有一種必須被使用在你的複合句中：逗號或句號。 逗號（,） * 當你在兩個獨立子句中的使用以下對等連接詞時－and、but、for、or、nor、so、 yet： ★ "I am going home, and I intend to stay there." ★ "It rained heavily during the afternoon, but we managed to have our picnic anyway." ★ "They couldn't make it to the summit and back before dark; they decided to camp for the night." 分號（;） * 當沒有任何連接詞在你的獨立子句之間時： ★ "I am going home; I intend to stay there." ★ "It rained heavily during the afternoon; we managed to have our picnic anyway." ★ "They couldn't make it to the summit and back before dark; they decided to camp for thenight" * 你也可以在加入以下這些連結副詞連結兩獨立子句時使用分號－however、morever、 therefore、consequently、otherwise、nevertheless、thus等： ★ "I am going home; moreover, I intend to stay there." ★ "It rained heavily during the afternoon; however, we managed to have our picnic anyway." ★ "They couldn't make it to the summit and back before dark; therefore, they decided to camp for the night." 更多的問題可以加入五五六六粉絲俱樂部詢問 :) 既然都提供了五五六六粉絲俱樂部的連結 （Sentence Punctutation Patterns） 不去的話總說不過去 （僅列出有關分號的部份） Sentence Punctuation Patterns Pattern Three: Compound Sentence This pattern is an example of a compound sentence with a semicolon. Independent clause [ ; ] independent clause [ . ] Example: Doctors are concerned about the rising death rate from asthma; they are unsure of its cause. Pattern Four: Compound Sentence This pattern is an example of a compound sentence with an independent marker. Independent clause [ ; ] independent marker [ , ] independent clause [ . ] Examples of independent markers are the following: therefore, moreover, thus, consequently, however, also. Example: Doctors are concerned about the rising death rate from asthma; therefore, they have called for more research into its causes. 句子中的標點符號 第三型：複合句 這是分號最基本的範例句型。 獨立子句 [ ; ] 獨立子句 [ . ] Example: Doctors are concerned about the rising death rate from asthma; they are unsure of its cause. 第四型：複合句 這是分號與連接副詞結合的最基本句型。 獨立子句 [ ; ] 連接副詞 [ , ] 獨立子句 [ . ] 連結副詞大致有以下幾種： therefore、moreover、thus、consequently、however、 also。 Example: Doctors are concerned about the rising death rate from asthma; therefore, they have called for more research into its causes. -- 如果你像我一樣沒料，那你就乖乖推文吧。 NY-Yankees --
