Guangzhou Fair Closes, Trade Booms (=The Guangzhou Fair Closes and Trade Booms 广交会落幕，交易量火爆) （二）冒号：冒号表示讲话的内容或代替连系动词“be”。例如： 1. Putin: Muslim Nations Call for End to Tension in Bosnia-Hergezervena (= Putin Says: Muslim Nations Call for an end to the Tension in Bosnia-Hergezervena 普京：穆斯林国家呼吁尽快结束波黑紧张局势) 2. Chinese Cooks: Masters at Turning Turnip into Flower (= The Chinese Cooks are Masters of Turning a Turnip into a Flower 中国厨师技艺佳，掌中萝卜雕成花)。 （三）分号：分号将标题一分为二，表示两个独立的意思。例如： 1. India Goes Nuclear; U.S. Concerned 印度发展核武器；美国表示关注 2. Clashes Follow Hebron Killing; Mayor Removed 希布伦屠杀引发冲突；市长遭解职 （四）破折号：破折号用在没有引号的引语后面引出说话人或表示解释。例如： 1.
