GMAT考试语法中分号的使用,希望对大家GMAT备考有所帮助。祝各位同学取得令人满意的成绩。和小编一起来看看吧!
(1)分号用以连接两个紧密相关的句子,这两个句子又是分别相对完整的句子。(说是“相对”,是因为虽然语法上都能单独成句,但是逻辑意思上第二句单独出来的话就说不通)
EG: Andrew and Lisa are inseparable; they do everything together.
(2)用分号连接的两句应该是独立、平衡的。如果原句有从属关系,那么应该保留。
(3)分号后经常跟一些链接副词(注意这些词不是真正的连词,不能用逗号替代分号),如however, therefore, in addition.
EG: Wrong: Andrew and Lisa are inseparable, THEREFORE, we never see them apart.
Right: Andrew and Lisa are inseparable; THEREFORE, we never see them apart.
(4)分号还有个主要的用法:用来隔开带逗号的一串名词。
EG: Wrong: I listen to Earth, Wind & Fire, Wow, Owls, and Blood, Sweat & Tears.
Right: I listen to Earth, Wind & Fire; Wow, Owls; and Blood, Sweat & Tears.
