语法规则卡 › 句子边界(句子结构与标点)

非必要信息:成对标点

Nonessential information: matching punctuation

规则

Extra information that could be removed without changing the main meaning is set off by a matching pair of commas, dashes or parentheses. Do not mix them.

删去后不影响主要意思的附加信息,要用成对的逗号、破折号或括号隔开,不能混用。

✔ 正确: The bridge—completed in 1932—is now a landmark.

✘ 错误: The bridge—completed in 1932, is now a landmark.

→ 改正: Use two dashes or two commas, not one of each.

技巧: Delete the middle part. If the sentence still works, it needs matching punctuation on both sides.
