破折号

Dashes

规则

A single dash can introduce an explanation or emphasis at the end of a sentence, like a colon. A pair of dashes sets off extra information in the middle.

单个破折号可在句末像冒号一样引出解释或强调;一对破折号用于隔开句中的附加信息。

✔ 正确: The result surprised everyone—even the researchers.

✘ 错误: The result surprised—everyone even the researchers.

→ 改正: Place the dash after the complete sentence "The result surprised everyone".

技巧: A single dash works like a colon: what comes before it must be a complete sentence.
