英语文章中大小写的问题概念.docVIP

大写 Capitals are used mainly at three places: the fisrt words of sentences, key words in titles, and proper names. Not only a complete sentence, but a sentence fragment treated as a sentence, should begin with a capital letter. The first word of quoted speech(words put between quotation marks) is capitalized. If a quoted sentence is broken into two parts and put in two pairs of quotation marks, the second part does not begin with a capital letter unless the first word is a proper noun or an adjective deribed from a proper noun:大写在字母主要用于三处：句子开头，标题中的实意词和专有名词。不只是完整的句子，不完整的句子，也应用大写的字母开头。引语（两个引号之间的词语）如是完整的句子，也用大写字母开头。如引用的一句话分成两部分，放在两队引号之中，第二部分不用大写字母开头，除非第一个词是专有名词： He said，“My trip to Mount Tai was interesting.” “My trip to Mount Tai,” he said,“was interesting.” I asked, “When do you usually go home?” II．好的句子Effective sentences 完整Unity 完整是好句子的第一要点。一个完整的句子表达单一的完整的思想。它不包含并不紧密相关的意思，也不表达本身不完整的思想 Faulty: Born in a small town in South China in the early 50s, he grew up to be a famous musician. Revised: He was born in a small town in South China in the early 50s. In his childhood he liked to sing songs. Later he entered a conservatory. In the 70s he became a famous musician. 原句的两部分之间没有逻辑上的联系，因为在50年代出生于华南一个小城市的一个人并不一定会成为有名的音乐家。这个句子因此缺少完整性。改后的句子就好一些，因为它解释了那人是怎样成了音乐家的。 Faulty: Do Fu was one of the greatest poets. Revised: Do Fu was one of the greatest poets of the Tang Period. 第一句有毛病，因为所表达的思想并不完整；时代和国家都没有提到。加了the Tang Period 句子的意思就清楚了；我们都知道唐代是中国历史上的一个朝代。 连贯Coherence 连贯是指句子各部分之间清楚而合理的联系。句子中的词语和部分应恰当地衔接，它们之间的关系应十分清楚。不连贯的句子通常有以下几种毛病：平行结构有缺点，代词指代不清楚，修饰语和被修饰语的关系不明确，在人称，数，语态，时态或语气上有混乱之处。 Faulty: A man is judged not only by what he says but also by his deeds. Revised: A man is judged not only by what he says but also by what he does. A man is judged not only by his words but also by his deeds. Faulty: We thought she was charming, intelligent, and a very capable young woman. Revised: We thought she was charming , intelligent, and
