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, 
The
petrol planes 
were 
delayed 
by a 
heavy rain, 
and 
they 
barely had 
enough
fuel
to 
get 
back to 
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 
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.
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. 
I 
have been teaching
English
ever 
since my 
graduation. 
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. 
He is my cousin
, 
who 
serves 
in 
the 
army. 
She went back to the
city 
where 
she 
was 
born. 
She went back to New York, 
where 
she 
was 
born. 
-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. 
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.
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."
Jane 
said 
angrily,
"Bob, 
can't 
you be quiet for a moment?" 
Bob 
shouted 
back, "Oh, dear, 
you're 
6) 
逗号用千日期、地点等表达法

left
London 
on 
May 15, 
1985.
