考研英語閱讀:小符號中的九大“秘密”

  【摘要】閱讀作為考研英語的半壁江山,也是英語復習中的重難點,在討論如何攻克閱讀大關的時候大家往往注意到的是長難句、重點單詞之類的,不知道大家沒有注意過那些隱藏其中的標點符號呢,今天幫幫就帶大家一覽那些藏在標點符號背后的"大文章"。

  1、逗號

  用于分割并列成分??佳兄攸c:兩個逗號之間,或者一個逗號之后,如果是補充說明成分時,跳過不看。Eg. Some huge American industries, such as consumer electronics, had shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competition.

  2、句號

 ?、儆糜陉愂鼍?,表示一個句子的結束, 起分割切分句子作用。

 ?、谟糜谀承┛s略詞之后。比如Mr.、 Ms.、 etc。等等。如果句號作為簡寫符號使用,那么這個詞語簡寫前后面的符號應該照常寫上,因為簡寫號并非句號,也不遵循句號的語法。比如Entreprise Co., Ltd或者I invited Tom, Jerry, etc。(注意兩個點)

 ?、塾米餍迭c

  3、問號

  考研英語閱讀文章中的問號一般都是設問的功能,只問不答,答案不言自明。Eg1. 考研難道沒有價值嗎?另外,如果開篇就是問句,那么則屬于問題答案型文章,對問題的回答就是全文主旨。

  4、冒號

  冒號前后是從抽象到具體的過程,后面進一步補充說明前面的內容。

  Eg.1997 passage 3 Q2

  60. The word "pervasive" (Line 1, Paragraph 2) might mean ________。

  [A] widespread [B] overwhelming

  [C] piercing [D] fashionable

  We live in a society in which the medicinal and social use of substances (drugs) is pervasive: an aspirin to quiet a headache, some wine to be sociable, coffee to get going in the morning, a cigarette for the nerves。

  5、分號

  前后是并列關系,包括結構上并列和語義上的并列。

  For us, this means that evolution is over; the biological Utopia has arrived. (2000 Passage2)

  6、引號

 ?、僖?②強調 ③諷刺

  Eg1 "Scientific" creationism, which is being pushed by some for "equal time" in the classrooms whenever the scientific accounts of evolution are given, is based on religion, not science。

  7、括號

  ①解釋說明生詞;②補充說明

  Drugs (substances) that affect the central nervous system and alter perception, mood, and behavior are known as psychoactive substances. (1997,Text 3)

  8、破折號

 ?、僖粋€破折號后面起補充說明或評價判斷。

  I am an idiot - the stupidest kind of all。

  "This book stands for reason itself。" And so it does - and all would be well were reason the only judge in the creationism/evolution debate。

 ?、趦善普厶栔g其補充說明,可先跳過不看。

  In Australia-where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part-other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia。

  9、省略號

  英文中的省略號的作用和漢語是一樣的。當省略號在句尾并且有下文時,應該打四個點,最后一個為句號。如:And it flew further, and further, and further.... Jorge smiled and turned back。當省略號在句尾并作為語氣延長的作用時,應使用修辭前的標點,如:Do you love me...?其余情況下使用三個點。如:The Martians...they just...just bombed our...our town, please send...more.

  (我是實習小編小白:堅持意志偉大的事業(yè)需要始終不渝的精神。)
