括号的用法
括号用于隔开与中心意思相关不紧密的言语。
In New York (I’ve lived there all my life and ought to know), you have to have a license for a gun.
I thought I knew the poem by heart (boy, was I wrong!).
For a long time (too long as far as I’m concerned), women were thought to be inferior to men.
The first time I went driving (do you remember the day?), I was so scared.
其他几种标点的用法
问：如果连续使用两个形容词，可用逗号分开它们吗?
答：在"Singapore is a clean, friendly city state"一句中，逗号代替了"and"。 连续两个形容词同时修饰一个名词时，可用逗号把它们隔开。但当其中一个形容词修饰另一形容词时，不需要用逗号隔开它们：
On my way back home, I stared at the pale blue sky.
问：何时用连字符连接单词?
采用连字符连接的两个词，意思可一目了然。例如，没用连字符的合成词light year，字面意思是一年比另一年不重要;加上连字符，我们就很清楚light-year是光年的意思。
通常，我们在处理名词前两个或多个词的组合时，可用连字符。
例：know-how
ready-to-wear
faster-than-expected production
life-form
state-of-the-art technology
medium-range missiles
当这一群词用作形容词时，仅对它们所修饰的名词之前的词使用连字符。
It was a fast-paced city life.
即City life is fast paced.
Bring me the up-to-date report.
即Bring me up to date.
还有，以"-ly"结尾的副词不用连字符。
Wrong: We do not work with financially-unstable organizations.
Correct: We do not work with financially unstable organizations.
Wrong: We are required to attend all regularly-scheduled meetings.
Correct: We are required to attend all regularly scheduled meetings.
问：你赞成省略缩略语的中间或末尾的句点吗?
答：这是一个关于写作风格和品味的问题，有些编者对缩略语用句点;有些则不用。用与不用取决于你。我的建议是，一旦你决定采用哪种方式，就不宜改变。专有名词中的句点应该保留，姓名之间的圆点应予保留。
问：什么叫不分段句?
答：两个完整的句子间仅用逗号，或不用任何其它标点，这两个句子叫做不分段句。
例：
The air conditioner is broken, we must have it repaired as soon as possible.
How to rid of run-on? Here are a few approaches:
有如下几种方法可消除不分段句 。
The air conditioner is broken and has to be repaired as soon as possible.
(使用连词"and")
The air conditioner is broken; it has to be repaired as soon as possible.
(用分号隔开这两个句子)
The air conditioner is broken. We must have it repaired as soon as possible.
(用句号隔开这两个句子)
