分号的用法 分号有时又称为小句号。它表示一个停顿，其停顿时间在逗号与冒号的停顿时间之间。文章如采用许多分号，其风格则变得严肃、正式。为了正确使用分号，有必要先学会辨认主句。当两个主句没有任何连接词(and, but, or, nor, for)连接而出现在同一个句子里，这时最好采用分号使之分离。分号的主要作用很简单，它常用于分离没有连接词连接的句子。但最好不要在从句之间形成如此之强的停顿。如果你要连接从句，而又不愿意用连接词时，则采用分号。 The world is a comedy to those that think; a tragedy to those that feel. You dont write because you want to say something; you write because youve got something to say. In the past, boy babies were often dressed in blue; girls, in pink. Cant you see its no good to go on alone; well starve to death if we keep traveling this way much longer. John F. Kennedy said at his inaugural speech, Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. Our power to apprehend truth is limited; to seek it, limitless. Science needs to be lived alongside religion, philosophy, history and esthetic experience; alone it can lead to great harm. 下列各词和短语如用于连接复合句时，常与分号连用： |
