Don't use pause between double quotation marks.

There is no pause between double quotation marks.

There is a pause between the title of the book, double quotation marks and double quotation marks. There is no need to pause any more. From the expressive function, whether there is a pause between parallel quotation marks or between parallel book titles, it will not cause difficulties in understanding if there is no pause.

When there are many quotations or punctuation marks in the quotation itself, it is not only unsightly in form, but also reduces the efficiency of symbol expression if pause is used between the juxtaposed quotation marks and the juxtaposed book titles. From the point of view of editing and publishing technology, various publishing houses also adopt the treatment method of not using the pause between parallel quotation marks.

Examples are as follows: banners such as "customer is God" and "quality is life" are hung in the store. Another example is Dream of Red Mansions, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West and Water Margin, which are the four classics of China's novels.

Usage of pause

Pause is mainly used for coordinate words. "Word" includes words and phrases, but does not include sentences. Commas and semicolons can be used between sentences, but pauses cannot be used. Obviously, the pause between sentences is bound to be long. If it is not long, it is difficult to distinguish the meaning of the sentence from the tone and grammar.

In addition, there may be other pauses in the sentence, and commas or pause symbols have been used. At this time, pause symbols are used to indicate pause, which is confusing and unreadable. (1) He doesn't like winter, summer, spring and autumn very much. (2) Winter is too cold, summer is too hot, spring is windy, and autumn leaves are too sad. No season satisfies him.

Note: The example (1) pause is used between coordinate words in a sentence. The pause in example (2) is a pause between sentences, and the pause time is long. Use commas instead of pauses.

Pause means a short pause, shorter than a comma and shorter than a period. If you need to express a long pause, you should use commas instead of pauses. If you want to express a long pause or a structural distinction, you should use a semicolon.

(1) Peach, apricot and pear trees are all in full bloom. (2) There are three peach trees, two apricot trees and a pear tree. Every tree is in full bloom, and the yard is like a flower shop.

Note: Example (1) "Peach tree, apricot tree and pear tree" has a short pause, so pause is used. If you change it to a comma, the feeling of spring vitality will disappear at once.

In example (2), the pause ratio is obviously longer than (1), so commas are used between parallel phrases. And a long pause can echo the "every tree" behind, emphasizing that every tree is in full bloom.
