Collection of Misuse of Punctuation: Quotations _700 Words

20. Abuse of quotation marks.

When the sun is completely covered by the shadow of the moon, compared with the looming comet Haier-Pope, the covered sun shines with clear mercury, and Venus and Jupiter are also in the sky. (97 countries)

According to the quotation range of quotation marks in punctuation, the word "Haier -Pop" in the sentence is not the focus of discussion, nor is it a word with special meaning, so it is inappropriate to quote and should be deleted.

2 1. Indirect reference misuses quotation marks.

Wu Ming said to me this morning, "He sprained his ankle and can't come to class today."

[Hugging] This is obviously an indirect quotation. If it is a direct quotation, it can only be "my foot ... can't come to class." Quotes should be removed and colons should be changed to commas.

22. The scope of reference is not clear.

Aunt Geng said to her son, "Dacheng, greet everyone and salute when you salute." Don't be afraid of jokes. As the saying goes,' it's not strange to be polite to many people'. "(94 countries)

There are two mistakes in this question: first, the scope of reference is not clear. Generally speaking, quotation marks indicate words directly quoted in the text, some specific titles, words with special meanings or objects that need to be discussed emphatically. This proverb should be "many people don't blame", so the word "horse" should be placed after the single quotation mark, because it is the modal particle of the speaker. Another point is that the colon after "as the saying goes" should be deleted.

23. The punctuation at the end of the quotation is wrong.

(1) Lu You's poems said: "If you want to learn poetry, kung fu is outside poetry".

The composition should be "plain words are strange, common words are dangerous, old words are new, and plain words are color."

[Cuddle] The words quoted are independent, and the punctuation at the end should be placed in quotation marks; If it is only a part of the author himself, there are no other punctuation marks at the end. So ① ② is only used in reverse. Special attention: If the punctuation mark at the end of the quotation is a question mark or an exclamation mark, it should generally be kept, even as part of the author's text. For example, Ruda walked to the door and shouted "Zheng Tu!" ; There are also quotation marks that need to be quoted, and then single quotation marks, such as 32.

[Hug] The semicolon and the period are transposed to clarify the hierarchical relationship.
