欢迎收看《每日语法》栏目,我是露西佳 。
And I'm Kaveh. You know a lot about punctuation, right?
我是卡维 。你知道很多标点符号,对吧?
I think I'm pretty good at it, and I especially like commas.
我觉得我很擅长它,尤其喜欢逗号 。
Commas? Yeah, they have many uses and are quite important.
逗号?没错,它们有很多用法,很重要 。
Tell me more!
多告诉我一些!
A common use of the Comma is to show a pause: a brief suspension of speech.
逗号的常用用法是表示停顿:说话中的短暂暂停 。
This usage is important in poetry, speechwriting, and creative writing.
这种用法在诗歌、演讲稿和创造性写作中都很重要 。
Another way the Comma works is to separate clauses.
逗号的另一种用法是分离从句 。
It shows what is different and what belongs together in a sentence.
它说明句子中什么是不同的,以及哪些东西归到一起 。
For example, Today on Everyday Grammar, we will explore common uses of the comma.
例如,在今天的《每日语法》中,我们将探讨逗号的常用用法 。
If we remove the words before the comma,
如果我们去掉逗号前面的词,
the independent Clause "we will explore common uses of the comma." could become its own sentence.
独立分句“we will explore common uses of the comma”就会变成单独的句子 。
But even with stylistic guides,
但即使有体裁指导,
the placement of a comma could come down to the personal choice of the writer, right?
逗号的位置也可以归结为作者的个人选择,对吗?
Yes! That's true. That's why there are two good tips for using commas:
是的!没错 。这就是为什么会有两个使用逗号的好技巧:
First, put yourself in the reader's position.
首先,把自己放在读者的位置上 。
Will your comma be understood by the reader in the same way you mean it?
你的逗号会像你所想的那样被读者理解吗?
And second, make short, declarative sentences.
其次,做简短的陈述句 。
If your sentence has too many commas, it might confuse the reader.
如果你的句子逗号太多,可能会使读者感到困惑 。
And that's Everyday Grammar.
