Representation of double quotation marks

Analysis of quotation mark usage test sites

Quotation marks are marks in punctuation marks, which have two forms: double quotation marks and single quotation marks, and have five functions: ① direct quotation; 2 emphasize; ③ negative; ④ Specific title; ⑤ Quote common sayings, proverbs, two-part allegorical sayings and old sayings.

It is one of the punctuation marks in the college entrance examination.

The following points need our special attention:

Distinguish between quotation marks and book titles.

He saw the advertisement in the newspaper for a summer seminar on China culture and world culture jointly sponsored by the graduate school of a university and the editorial board of China Culture, and immediately wrote to sign up.

"China Culture and World Culture Summer Workshop" is not the name of a book, a newspaper or a magazine. You can't use the title. You should use quotation marks to emphasize that it is a proper name.

)

Book titles are used to represent book titles, registrations, periodicals, chapters, plays, songs and normative documents. You cannot use the names of columns, topics, series, exams, topics and units.

Should TV programs such as Focus Interview and News Network use quotation marks or titles? There is no provision for this situation in the use of punctuation marks. Du Xiang, the dictionary office of the Institute of Linguistics, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, thinks that titles are generally used in newspaper columns, such as Earth Supplement of People's Daily, Five-color Supplement of Beijing Evening News, and TV programs such as Focus Interview and News Network, and it is ok to use titles.

But in recent years, a similar situation has been found in the examination questions, which is considered as quotation marks.

For example:

Recently, Chongqing Daily, Chongqing TV Station and Chongqing Radio Station jointly launched the column "Immortal Red Rock", which aroused strong repercussions in the society.

Chongqing Volume (2005) (The title "Immortal Red Rock" should be in quotation marks)

7 19 female college students won the championship seven times in a row in the program "Lucky 52", which aroused the curiosity of the media.

)

Second, don't abuse quotation marks.

)

Add "-"before "Qinshan No.2 Nuclear Power Plant" and remove the quotation marks.

)

1 1 Wu Ming told me this morning: "He sprained his ankle and can't come to class today.

"(This is obviously an indirect reference (paraphrase), so the quotation marks should be removed and the colon should be changed to a comma.

)

Generally speaking, quotation marks indicate words directly quoted in an article, some specific titles, words with special meaning or ironic negation, or objects that need to be discussed emphatically. In addition, ordinary words should not abuse quotation marks.

The quotation marks in the above four sentences are improperly used.

Generally speaking, roads, stations and projects named after place names do not need quotation marks.

Proper nouns don't need quotation marks if they don't need special emphasis, such as Tiananmen Square and Haier Refrigerator.

You should distinguish between three quotation marks and the position of the last point of a sentence.

Generally speaking, the explanation of the position when quotation marks and dot are used together is: always use the quoted word independently and put dot in quotation marks; If you take the quotation as part of your own words, you don't need to add a dot after the quotation. If it's just the end of a sentence, put the dot outside the quotation marks.

But in practice, it is difficult for us to judge whether it is used independently, so many students are confused about it.

Therefore, the author found a simple judgment method.

That is, if there is a colon before the front quotation mark (immediately after it) and there is a complete sentence in the quotation mark, even if it is an independent quotation, the dot is placed in the quotation mark; If there is a comma before the quotation mark or there is no punctuation mark, even if it is a subordinate quotation mark, the points after the quotation mark (except question mark and exclamation point) will not be retained. For example, at the end of a sentence, the dot is placed outside the quotation marks.

At the end of the quotation, whether it is an independent sentence or as part of your own words, question marks or exclamation points should be placed in quotation marks.

For example:

12 Teacher Li teaches his students: "We must adopt a realistic attitude, knowing means not knowing, and not knowing means not knowing".

Jiangxi Volume (2005) (period in quotation marks)

13. Before leaving for the World Cup in Athens, the leader of the China diving team said, "In the warm-up match before the Olympic Games, we are scheduled to complete three tasks, feel the venue, observe our opponents and get to know ourselves.

(National Volume 1, 2004) The comma after "pre-match expression" should be changed to a colon, and the comma after "three tasks" should be changed to a colon or dash.

)

14 ago, I probably didn't know how to cherish time because I was young. Now I understand that "an inch of time and an inch of gold can't buy an inch of time."

"The real meaning of this sentence.

(Hubei Volume 2004) (the period in quotation marks is deleted)

15 According to RoyceWong's "Heroes", Zhuge Liang traveled with Xu Shu, Meng, "Three people are in charge of it, but they only watch it.

"(The period at the end of the sentence should be put outside quotation marks)

16 "Keep Jinan" photo exhibition deeply attracted the audience.

Alleys, springs, green grass and moss have all become hard to find shadows. It can be said that "dreams are deeply remembered, and one street and one lane are always concerned."

"(2005 Shandong Volume) (the period at the end of the sentence should be placed outside quotation marks)

But there are two situations worth noting.

The first one is that when "so-and-so" is placed in the middle of the quoted sentence, a comma is used after "so-and-so", but the dot at the end of the sentence should be kept.

For example:

17 "Learning is afraid of the word' serious'.

Teacher Zhang said, "Attitude determines everything." It really makes sense.

"(Tianjin Volume 2004) (colon should be changed to comma)

18 "I'm not kidding you," Hong Shimin said solemnly. "If you can get out of the mountain, we will find a way together and it will be finished."

(Hubei Volume 2004) (The period at the end of the sentence should be enclosed in quotation marks)

The second is that although there is a colon before the quotation, it is not a sentence in the quotation. At this time, the punctuation at the end of the quotation cannot be retained (because there is no punctuation).

For example:

19 In Water Margin, in front of the small restaurant under Jingyang Gangxia, a flag was erected high, which read: "Three bowls don't cross the Gangxia".

Although there is a colon in front of the quotation mark here, the quotation mark is not a sentence, that is to say, there are only five words, so there must be no punctuation at the end of itself, so there is no need for points in the quotation mark.

)

Fourth, pay attention to the scope of reference.

When using quotation marks, we should also pay attention to which words need to be quoted, not too many and not too few, especially some modal particles and exclamations at the end of sentences.

Example:

After 20, Zhang Daqian laughed at his wife: "This is not your fault. Who told you to say' very good'? " When you say' very good', he naturally thinks that you like this painting best.

If it were me, it would be the same. "

(Sichuan Volume 2004) The word "ma" should be put outside single quotation marks, and the period at the end of the sentence should be enclosed in double quotation marks.

)

2 1 But he didn't care, "Let nature take its course! There's an old saying in China: "You'll cross the bridge when you cross it.".

The first comma should be colon, the colon after the old saying should be removed, and the single quotation mark after the word "horse" should be changed to the front.

)

22 Shanhaiguan, known as the "first pass" in the world! (All "the first level in the world" should be quoted)

Pay attention to the usage of coordinate quotation marks.

How to pause between juxtaposed titles or quotation marks has different uses: some people think that pause should be added; Some people think that adding a pause is unnecessary; Others think that it can be added or not, without affecting expression.

Theoretically speaking, there is a pause between parallel quotations, which should be used. But since the quotation is quoted, it looks very eye-catching and will not cause confusion, so the pause can be omitted.

Someone is willing to use it, and it can't be wrong, but it's best not to use it.

Now there is no need to add punctuation marks between the book titles or quotation marks, but use commas when they are added.

His speech is humorous, and he especially likes to say some folk sayings, such as "burning incense at the wrong gate" and "the mosquito bites the clay idol at the wrong object", which often makes everyone laugh.

(Pauses should be removed)

With the growth of age, children will ask such questions as "Why does the moon follow me", "How high is the sky" and "Why are there bad people in the world".

(Pauses should be removed)

The classroom layout is simple, and only three slogans are hung on the wall: "Learning is always valuable" and "You can enter when you are in doubt."

""All rivers run into sea. "

(The full stop after "sexual clothing" should be changed to a comma and placed outside quotation marks.

)

In these three sentences, it is also the juxtaposition of several quotations. In embodiments 23 and 24, commas or pause symbols are not used, while in embodiment 25, they are used.

Through comparative analysis, it is found that several quotations in Example 23 and Example 24 are juxtaposed, and as part of the sentence content, the following contents can be modified or restricted, and cannot be separated. There are no punctuation marks between them, and their use will affect the meaning of sentences.

But in example 25, they are at the end of the sentence and do not modify or limit the following content. They are the juxtaposition of several independent parts, and there should be a pause in the middle, so they are separated by commas.

Pay attention to the use of single quotation marks and double quotation marks

There are quotation marks in quotation marks, double quotation marks in the outer layer and single quotation marks in the inner layer; If there are quotation marks in single quotation marks, double quotation marks should be used, and so on.

For example:

26 (An old lady) then explained, "When beans and sweet potatoes are harvested, badgers are very fat.

Rou Xiang you run. As the saying goes,' eight catties of badger meat and seven catties of oil'. "

Finally, it should be noted that if there are several paragraphs in the quotation, the front quotation mark should be used at the beginning of each paragraph, and the back quotation mark should not be used until the end of the last paragraph.

Consolidation exercise
