英语作文中分号

在英语作文中,分号(;)主要用于以下几种情况:

分隔两个独立的子句,特别是当这些子句之间没有连接词(如and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet)时。例如:

She loves reading; he loves playing sports.

The world is a comedy to those who think; a tragedy to those who feel.

连接包含逗号的句子,以避免混淆。例如:

I have a lot of work to do; I can't go to the party tonight.

The employees were Tom Hanks, the manager; Jim White, the engineer; and Dr. Jack Lee.

在列举项目时,分号可以用来分隔列举的前两项,尤其是在列举项之间已经使用了逗号的情况下。例如:

She can speak English; she can also speak French.

与连接副词一起使用,如thus, however, therefore,放在这些词语之前。例如:

I realize I need exercise; however, I’ll lie down first to think about it.
