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.
