标点符号

逗号

章振邦语法英语句子汉译:标点符号逗号

在所有的标点符号中,逗号 (comma) ","使用率最高,用法也最复杂。

1) 逗号用于并列句
逗号可用以分隔由并列连词连接的两个或两个以上的独立分句。常用的并列连词有 and, but, or, 逗号须点在连词之前。例如:
The petrol planes were delayed by a heavy rain, and they barely had enough fuel to get back to the carrier. 汽油飞机的延误是因一场大雨,几乎没有足够的燃料返回航母。
The bell rang on and on, and George was still reluctant to get out of bed.
She saw me in the street yesterday, but she did not recognise me.
You'd better apologise, or she'll not speak to you again.

如果相连的两个句子较短,可以不用逗号:
The wind was blowing and the water was cold.
John was busy cooking but Mary was playing the piano.

2)逗号用于并列的词或者词组
逗号还可用来分隔三个或三个以上并列的词或词组。我们知道,两个并列的词或词组一般 用and 或 or 连接,其中不用逗号,而三个或三个以上的并列项只在最后两个之间用 and 或 or, 其余均用逗号,在连词之前也常用逗号。例如:
After dinner , they talked, laughed, and sang.
The professor entered the classroom, opened his note-book, and began his lecture.
He is honest, courageous, and experienced.

有时甚至可以不用连词,全用逗号 例如
The hall was bright with coloured lanterns, red , green , yellow.

3)逗号用于前置状语
状语分句前置,一般要用逗号与主句隔开例如:
As soon as he finished studying , he left the library.
When he returned from abroad , home was not what it used to be.

前置的状语如果不是分句而是词组,是否用逗号,视状语的长短而定。一般说来,状语较长宜用逗号,状语较短可不用逗号。例如:
In spite of their good intentions, most parents do not really understand their children.
 In 1985(,) the number of street accidents redoubled that of the previous year.
He made his promise only yesterday, but today he changed his mind.

后置状语一般不须用逗号与主句隔开。例如:
You'll fail again unless you work hard. 你还会失败的, 如果你工作不努力。
I have been teaching English ever since my graduation. 我一直教英语,始于大学毕业。

4) 逗号用于非限制性关系分句
限制性关系分句与被修饰的先行项关系密切,连成一体,其前通常不用逗号。而非限制性关系分句大都仅起补充说明作用,所以多用逗号隔开。试比较下列两组句子。每组的前一句带限制性关系分句,后一句带非限制性关系分句:
I have a cousin who serves in the army我有个表弟服役在部队。
He is my cousin , who serves in the army. 他是我表弟,服役在部队。
She went back to the city where she was born她回的城市是她的出生地。
She went back to New York, where she was born她回到了纽约,那是她的出生地。

-in 分词分句和 -ed 分词分句作名词的后置修饰语时也同样有限制性和非限制性区别,因 逗号也只用于非限制性修饰语。试比较:
The house built by my grandfather faced the mountains. 这房子的修建者是我祖父,面朝群山。
My house, built by my grandfather, faced the mountains. 我的房子,我祖父建的,面朝群山。
A person running for President needs to have a lot of money.  竞选总统需要很多钱。
Henry Smith, running for the state governor, was in financial troubles.
        亨利·史密斯竞选州长时遇到了财政困难。

5) 逗号用干直接引语
在直接引语前和引述分句后,汉语用冒号,而英语多用逗号。例如:
She said, "I'll bring a pot of strong steaming hot coffee to the table."
           她说:“我要把一壶热气腾腾的热咖啡端到桌上。”
Jane said angrily, "Bob, can't you be quiet for a moment?" Bob shouted back, "Oh, dear, you're making a louder noise!" 简说话时很生气:“鲍勃,你不能安静一会儿吗?”鲍勃喊道:“哦,亲爱的,你说话的声音更大了!”

6) 逗号用千日期、地点等表达法
逗号还可用于日期、地址等的表示法
(1) 日期
He left London on May 15, 1985. 他离开伦敦是在1985年5月15日
The war broke out on Sunday, April 20, 1945. 这场战争爆发于1945年4月20日。
(2) 地址

             请把我的邮件寄到 55号,人民路,南市区,上海市
                请把我的邮件寄到上海市南市区人民路55号。

               他把39号,46街西,奥兰市,纽约州 作为他的新地址。
                  他把纽约州奥兰市西46街39号作为他的新地址。
(3) 其他

The boy is now five feet, seven inches tall. 这个男孩现在已经是五英尺七英寸高了。
