?你能將英語(yǔ)字母的大小寫(xiě)分清楚嗎?
比如”指環(huán)王“的英文名字
The Lord of the Rings,
為什么第一個(gè)the首字母大寫(xiě),
后面的又不需要,
為什么of首字母不要大寫(xiě)?
如果是平時(shí)聊天就算了,
但是在正式的場(chǎng)合中寫(xiě)英語(yǔ),
必須要注意英語(yǔ)字母的大寫(xiě)問(wèn)題。
比如你在考卷上寫(xiě)“china”,
在電子郵件里寫(xiě)“mr. smith”。
前者會(huì)讓你丟分,
后者則會(huì)讓你丟人……
Capital letters are useful signals for a reader. They have three main purposes: to let the reader know a sentence is beginning, to show important words in a title, and to signal proper names and official titles.
大寫(xiě)字母對(duì)讀者來(lái)說(shuō)是一種有用的信號(hào)。它們有三個(gè)主要的作用:讓讀者知道一個(gè)句子的開(kāi)始,在標(biāo)題中標(biāo)示重要的詞,以及標(biāo)明專有名稱和正式頭銜。
1
Capitals signal the start of a new sentence. This is a stable rule in our written language: Whenever you begin a sentence capitalize the first letter of the first word. This includes capitalizing the first word or a direct quotation when it s a full sentence, even if it appears within another sentence.
大寫(xiě)字母表示新句子的開(kāi)始。這是我們書(shū)面語(yǔ)言中一個(gè)固定的規(guī)則:無(wú)論什么時(shí)候開(kāi)始,一個(gè)句子的第一個(gè)單詞的第一個(gè)字母要大寫(xiě)。這包括將一句話的第一個(gè)單詞的首字母大寫(xiě),或者作為引語(yǔ)出現(xiàn)在一個(gè)句子中間時(shí),但因?yàn)橐Z(yǔ)本身也是完整的句子,引語(yǔ)的句首首字母也要大寫(xiě)。
Frand inquired, "Where do I make a donation to the new scholarship fund?".
"The first time I lectured on that theory," the professor bragged, "not one student fell asleep in my class."
?Note: Do not capitalize quotations that continue in a sentence after an interruption, as in the sentence immediately above.
注意:不要在句子被打斷后還大寫(xiě)首字母,就像上面的句子一樣。
Capitalize the first work in a line of poetry (even if it doesn t begin a new sentence)--unless the poet did not capitalize it (as in the second example below)
詩(shī)歌的行首字母大寫(xiě)(即使它沒(méi)有開(kāi)始一個(gè)新的句子)——除非詩(shī)人原本寫(xiě)的時(shí)候就沒(méi)有大寫(xiě)(如下面的第二個(gè)例子所示)
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.
-Dylan Thomas
in time of daffodils (who know
the goal of living is to grow)
forgetting why, remember how
- e.e. cummings

Capitals show important words in a title. Capitalize the first and last word, as well as any major word in a title or subtitle (words such as a, an, and the are not usually capitalized unless they function as the first word in the title or subtitle).
大寫(xiě)字母表示標(biāo)題中的重要單詞。第一個(gè)和最后一個(gè)單詞,以及標(biāo)題或副標(biāo)題中的任何主要單詞都要大寫(xiě)(像a、an和the這樣的單詞通常不大寫(xiě),除非它們是標(biāo)題或副標(biāo)題中的第一個(gè)單詞)。
標(biāo)題文字中的每個(gè)實(shí)詞首字母大寫(xiě)
比如下文中of之類的副詞
和the之類的冠詞就不是實(shí)詞
如:
”The Lord of the Rings” is my favorite movie.
3
Capitals signal proper names and titles.
大寫(xiě)字母表示專有名稱和頭銜。
Tip: Words that are customarily capitalized (such as September) appear capitalized in the dictionary.
提示:字典中標(biāo)明的習(xí)慣上首字母大寫(xiě)的單詞(比如September)書(shū)寫(xiě)時(shí)需要首字母大寫(xiě)。
4
大部分的縮寫(xiě)都需要大寫(xiě)。
如:I’ve lost my ID card.
5
I和OK無(wú)論何時(shí)何地都需要大寫(xiě)。
如:I’m OK with your idea.
6
將親戚作為稱呼語(yǔ)時(shí)首字母大寫(xiě)。
如:Thank you, Mum.
怎樣,
了解這些小知識(shí)
解決你“忽大忽小”的困擾了嗎?
在下次的正式文件、郵件或考試的寫(xiě)作中,
千萬(wàn)不要寫(xiě)錯(cuò)了!
今天的內(nèi)容都學(xué)會(huì)了么?
