As the saying goes, don't go out at sunrise, but go to Wan Li Road at sunset. The function of quotation marks

To sum up, quotation marks have three functions:

A, indicating the quoted part. In order to distinguish it from the author's own words, the dialogue between characters in the article or the direct quotation of others' words (or articles) are all quoted. For example:

"Remember the revolution!" I remembered what he said before he died. Yes, remember the revolution! (Nocturnal Grass)

Here are two "Remember the Revolution". The first quote is a famous saying of the old Red Army. The second, without quotation marks, is the determination to express "I".

Second, indicate the specific title and the parts that need to be highlighted. When some words in an article have special meanings, they are often marked with quotation marks. For example:

Our "big dragonfly" has been flying steadily in the sky. (Flying a kite)

The quotation marks in the sentence indicate that it is not a real big dragonfly, but a kite shaped like a dragonfly. Another example is:

Silkworms are going up the mountain. (spring silkworm)

The word "going up the mountain" here is enclosed in quotation marks, which means that it has a specific meaning, especially when the silkworm climbs onto the straw and prepares to spin silk and cocoon.

3. Express irony or negation. For example:

One cannot lower one's noble head. Only those who are afraid of death beg for "freedom" (Two Poems by Revolutionary Martyrs)

The quotation marks here mean that the content expressed is denied, which means that this is not true freedom.
