小青(青椒)与逗号的对话(1

 

小青:逗号,早上好。

逗号:早上好。不过,今天有点郁闷,因为有人对我很不尊重。

小青:怎么可能?

逗号:是啊。虽然不是每篇文章最先用的标点符号一定是我。但是,但是,常常会是我。不信?你看看:

 

Sea level is rising, as the temperature is getting warmer globally.

 

 

小青:有道理。

 

 

逗号:我知道演讲时,停顿可以引起听众的注意力。比如:今年我们公司的利润(停顿一下)非常不错。但是,写同样一句话,不能想加逗号(停顿一下)就加。

 

Today’s weather, is really good. (wrong,不能加逗号)

 

旁白:This Blog was triggered by a manuscript I am working on. Clearly, the author doesn’t know this basic rule, and added a comma after the subject in many, many places.

 

 

小青:记住了,主语与动词一般不用逗号分开。

 

逗号:还有,老美一般会在which前面加逗号,而在定语从句that前面不加逗号

 

 

I love “The little book” by Edwards, which is about epic love and time travel.

 

I like any book that is about time travel.

 

 

逗号:其实,我的用法有时连老外也搞不清,比如日期。

 

不需要逗号:1 May 2018

需要逗号:May 1, 2018

需要逗号:On Tuesday, May 1, 2018, we will celebrate Lei Day in Hawaii.

 

不需要逗号:May 2018

不需要逗号:spring 2018

 

小青:(晕了)

"Ah, the comma. Of all the punctuation marks in English, this one is perhaps the most abused and misused. And it’s no wonder. There are lots of rules about comma usage, and often the factors that determine whether you should use one are quite subtle. But fear not! Below, you’ll find guidance for the trickiest comma questions.

What Is a Comma?

While a period ends a sentence, a comma indicates a smaller break. Some writers think of a comma as a soft pause—a punctuation mark that separates words, clauses, or ideas within a sentence."

  

The end.
