规则
Do not use a comma between a short descriptive title and a name when the title comes directly before it ("the biologist Jane Goodall"). Use commas only when the name is extra information.
简短描述语直接放在姓名前时(the biologist Jane Goodall)不用逗号。只有姓名是附加信息时才用逗号。
✔ 正确: The novelist Toni Morrison won the Nobel Prize in 1993.
✘ 错误: The novelist, Toni Morrison, won the Nobel Prize in 1993.
→ 改正: Remove the commas: "novelist" and the name work together.
技巧: "Title + name" with no "the … , …" pause takes no commas; "Morrison, a novelist, …" does.
