分号

Semicolons

规则

A semicolon joins two complete, closely related sentences. Both sides of a semicolon must be able to stand alone.

分号连接两个关系密切的完整句子,分号两边都必须能独立成句。

✔ 正确: Bees pollinate crops; without them, harvests would fall.

✘ 错误: Bees pollinate crops; which helps farmers.

→ 改正: Use a comma: "Bees pollinate crops, which helps farmers."

技巧: Treat a semicolon like a period. If one side is not a complete sentence, the semicolon is wrong.
