使用省略符號可以起句子走文或說話停頓的作用,而且在引句中可以省略一些字。例如:
- “I’m wondering if I …" Jack said. (傑克說:「我想知道我是否 …」)
- A credit card stolen from a man in Taipei was used to pay for a Chinese meal 18 hours later … in Los Angeles. (一張在台北竊自一名男子的信用卡,18 小時後在洛杉磯被用來支付一頓中式餐飲的賬單)
- The ceremony honored ten brilliant athletes … visiting the U.S. (這項儀式表揚了十位正在美國訪問的傑出運動員)
- 原句可能是:The ceremony honored ten brilliant athletes from Taiwan who were visiting the U.S. (這項儀式表揚了十位正在美國訪問、來自台灣的傑出運動員),其中省略了 “from Taiwan who were",並代之以省略符號。
如果您想不起來上述任何一項規則,或者還沒完全弄懂冒號、分號和省略符號的用法,那麼就使用破折號,因為破折號具有這三者的功能。例如:
- The management blamed the workers’ sit-in for one thing – Paul’s incitement. (破折號取代冒號)
- No one was killed in the explosion – the only damage was a house that was razed to the ground. (破折號取代分號)
- A credit card stolen from a man in Taipei was used to pay for a Chinese meal 18 hours later – in Los Angeles. (破折號取代省略符號)
