直接引用 範例
John said, “I really hate when it’s hot outside.”
引用整句時,以大寫開頭,範例:
The exact phrase she used was “There is no way we will get there in time.”
引用部分句子時,不以大寫開頭,範例:
He called them “loud, smelly, and utterly annoying,” and he closed the door.
將引用分為兩部分以插入附帶說明時,第二部分不以大寫開頭,範例:
“The problem with opinions,” Paula explained, “is that everyone has one.”
逗號、句號永遠放在引號內,冒號、分號、連接號放在引號外,範例:
“There was a storm last night,” Paul said.
Peter, however, didn’t believe him. “I’m not sure that’s exactly what happened.”
Peter was aware of what he called “Paul’s weakness triangle”: he was half deaf, slept like a log, and was prone to lying.
Paul saw an argument coming, so he muttered only “But I saw it”; this was going to be a long night and he didn’t want to start it with a fight.
問號、驚嘆號若屬於引用內容,放引號內,若屬於整個句子,放引號外,範例:
Sandy asked them, “Why do you guys always fight?”
Did the dog bark every time he heard Sandy say “I’m bringing dinner”?
