　　有了标点，读者知道应该在哪里停顿，读者能在复杂的句子当中区分主要信息和次要信息。所以正确使用标点可以帮助清晰流畅地表达思想。今天我们借用雅思阅读的一篇文章，先来看看老外是如何玩转标点的。（例文选自剑10 Test1 Passage1、Test2 Passage1、Test3 Passage2和Test3 Passage3）
　　1.逗号
　　例句1:Some wells are vast,open craters with hundreds of steps paving each sloping side,often in tiers.（逗号分隔定语，凸显表达层次。）
　　例句2:Another example is the Surya Kund in Modhera,northern Gujarat,next to the sun Temple,built by King Bhinma I in 1026 to honour the sun god Surya.（逗号分隔插入语，凸显主干又不失细节。）
　　例句3:Built in around 850 AD next to the temple of Harshat Mata,the baori comprises hundreds of zigzagging steps that run along three of its sides,steeply descending 11 storeys,resulting in a striking patter when seen from afar.（逗号分隔非谓语，凸显主干。）
　　例句4:But perhaps the most impressive features are the intricate decorative sculptures that embellish many step-wells,showing activities from fighting and dancing to everyday acts such as women combing their hair or churning butter.（such as前不加逗号，说明such as是对其紧挨着的名词acts进行举例，而不是其他的名词。）
　　2.分号
　　分号的作用是连接两个意思紧密的意群。如果改用句号，反而会疏远两个句子的关系。需要注意的是，分号好的句子开头首字母“小写”。
　　例句1:Some were located in or near villages as public spaces for the community;Others were positioned beside roads as resting places for travellers.（分号=while表some和others两组对比。）
　　例句2:When the water level was high,the user needed only to descend a few steps to reach it;when it was low,several levels would have to be negotiated.（分号=and连接两个并列的when）
　　例句3:Down the centuries,thousands of wells were constructed throughout north-western India,but the majority have now fallen into disuse;many are derelict and dry,as groundwater has been diverted for industrial use and the wells no longer reach the water table.（分号=and连接两个并列的句子thousands of wells和many[wells省略]）
　　例句4:In the old ruined town of Abhaneri,about 95 kilometres east of Jaipur,is chand Baori,one of India's oldest and deepest wells;aesthetically it's perhaps one of the most dramatic.（分号=and在这里起到补充说明的作用，后半句，可以改成“,which aesthetically is perhaps one of the most dramatic.）
　　3.破折号
　　“解释说明、同位语、插入语”是破折号的功能。注意有时使用一个，有时使用一对。
　　例句1:For many trees—evergreen conifers being an exception—the best strategy is to abandon photosynthesis until the spring.（插入语）
　　例句2:However,the significance of this invention—the stepwell—goes beyond its utilitarian application.（同位语+插入语）
　　例句3:They were also pioneers who carried with them everything they would need to build new lives—their livestock,taro seedlings and stone tools.（解释说明=such as）
　　4.括号
　　括号的作用在于解释说明或者补充说明，而且用括号括起来，不影响主体意思的表达，解释或者补充一些让读者概念更清晰的内容，使文章理解起来更容易，跟插入语的效果差不多。
　　例句1:Most stepwells are found dotted round the desert areas of Gujarat(where they are called vav)and Rajasthan(where they are called baori),while a few also survive in Delhi.
　　例句2:As their name suggests,stepwells comprise a series of stone steps descending from ground level to the water source(normally an underground aquifer)as it recedes following the rains.
　　例句3:In Patan,the state's ancient capital,the stepwell of Rani Ki Vav(Queen's Stepwell)is perhaps the finest current example.
　　5.冒号
　　使表达内容具体化，可以用于解释、举例、话术具体内容。注意，冒号后面有首字母大写和小写两种情况，通常只有人物话术的时候才大写，其他都小写。
　　例句1:Their condition hasn't been helped by recent dry spells:southern Rajasthan suffered an eight-year drought between 1996 and 2004.（举例）
　　例句2:Macfarlane says:'The infant mortality rate halved in the space of 20 years,and this happened in both rural areas and cities,and across all classes.'（话术）
　　例句3:But scientific progress is not all theoretical,knowledge is also vital to outstanding performance:individuals who know a great deal about a specific domain will achieve at a higher level than those who do not.（解释）
　　6.连字符
　　连字符在“组团形容词”方面表现良好，自由组合，体现语言灵活性！特此多举一些例子方面烤鸭体会并应用。注意，一般情况下，连字符比破折号短小一点。
　　例句1:Why did this particular Big Band—the world-changing birth of industry—happen in Britain?
　　例句2:For industry to take off,there needs to be the technology and power to drive factories,large urban populations to provide cheap labour,easy transport to move goods around,an affluent middle-class willing to buy mass-produced objects,a market-driven economy and a political system that allows this to happen.
　　例句3:Historians had alighted on one interesting factor around the mid-18th century that required explanation.
　　例句4:Water-borne diseases had a much looser grip on the Japanese population than those in Britain.
　　例句5:Macfarlane guessed that the fact that water had to be boiled,together with the stomach-purifying properties of tea meant that the breast milk provided by mothers was healthier than it had ever been.
　　例句6:Macfarlane notes that even though 17th-century Japan had large cities,high literacy rates,even a futures market,it had turned its back on the essence of any work-based revolution by giving up labour-saving devices such as animals,afraid that they would put people our of work.
　　例句7:During the sixth and seventh centuries,the inhabitants of the modern-day states of Gujarat and Rajasthan in north-western India developed a method of gaining access to clean,fresh groundwater during the dry season for drinking,bathing,watering animals and irrigation.
　　例子8:Tourists flock to wells in far-flung corners of north-western India to gaze in wonder at these architectural marvels from hundreds of years ago,which serve as a reminder of both the ingenuity and artistry of ancient civilisations and of the value of water to human existence.
　　通过以上的例句和讲解，不知道烤鸭们是否明确地掌握了标点符号的正确使用。如果能顺利理解，那么就赶快行动起来，让自己的写作表达更加内容丰富，清晰有型。没能理解清楚的烤鸭，可能需要专业的老师指点之后，继续自己的备考之路啦！
