第二部分引號內第一個字母的大寫問題：
|
|
|
1.
|
前後兩部分合起來是個單句時，不大寫。如：
|
|
|
|
(1)
|
“Sunny!” he said, “give me a hand.”
(“桑妮!” 他說，“幫幫我的忙。”)
|
|
|
|
(2)
|
“In that case,” he said, “you must go to the bank tomorrow.”
(“那樣的話，” 他說，“你明天必須去銀行。”)
|
|
|
2.
|
前後兩部分都是獨立的句子時，要大寫。如：
|
|
|
|
(1)
|
“Please,please don't drink too much!” she said. “Remember that you'll have to drive home.”
(“請，請不要喝得太多!” 她說。“記著你還得開車回家。”)
|
|
|
|
(2)
|
“Tell them not to work too fast,” said the workman. “If we finish before six, we shan't get any overtime pay.”
(“告訴他們不要做得太快，” 那工人說。“如果我們在六點前做完，我們就拿不到加班費。”)
|
|
|
(提
|
示)
|
第二部分以大寫字母開始時，引號前 (亦即引介語之後) 一定是句點。
|
|
|
3.
|
第二部分是由對等連接詞連接的獨立子句或句子時，通常都不大寫——但是也可以大寫，其用意是在將其視爲一個完全獨立的句子以加強後者的語氣。如：
|
|
|
|
(1)
|
“Be very careful crossing roads,” she said, “and remember that they drive on the left in England.”
(“過馬路要非常小心，” 她說，“而且要記著在英國是靠左行駛的。”)
|
|
|
|
(2)
|
“I was intending to do it tomorrow,” he said, “but now I don't think I'll be able to.”
(“我本來準備明天做，” 他說， “但是現在我認爲我不能做。”)
|
|
|
|
(3)
|
“You mustn't forget to put the stamp on,” she said, “or your friend will have to pay double postage.”
(“你不可忘了貼郵票，” 她說， “不然你的朋友要付雙倍郵資。”)
|
|
|
|
(4)
|
“If the boys do anything clever, you call them your good sons,” said his wife complainingly, “and if they do anything stupid, you call them my foolish ones.”
(“如果這些男孩子做出聰明的事來，你稱他們是你的好兒子，” 他的妻子抱怨地說，“如果他們做出愚蠢的事來，你就稱他們是我的蠢兒子。”)
|
|
|
|
(5)
|
“What makes you think I'll be married?” she said, “or are you only guessing? ”
(“什麽事情使你認爲我要結婚了?” 她說，“還是你只是在猜測?”)
|
|
|
|
(6)
|
“Who are you?” she asked the burglar. “And who let you in?”
(“你是誰?” 她問那個盜賊。“誰讓你進來的?”)
|
|
|
4.
|
前後兩部分合起來是個沒有對等連接詞的合句 (參閱 p.81) 時，不大寫。如：
|
|
|
|
(1)
|
“Always tell the truth, my good son,” the mother said to the small boy; “never tell a lie.”
(“永遠說真話，我的好兒子,” 母親對那個小男孩說； “絕對不要說謊。”)
|
|
|
|
(2)
|
“Look where you are going,” she said; “the road is full of holes and very badly lit.”
(“當心腳下的路，” 她說; “這路上儘是坑，而且燈光極暗。”)
|
|
|
5.
|

|
|
|

|

|
|
|
