英 语 写 译（1） （格式，词和句子） 经济管理学院 经济系
A good manuscript form---- writing the title, leaving margins, indenting, capitalizing and dividing words. 1. How to write a title （标题）?
1) Write the title in the centre of the first line; if too long for one line, in the first and second lines. Second line is shorter. How a Knowledge of English has Helped me in my Studies and Work
2) Capitalize （大写） the first and last words except articles, coordinating conjunctions (and, or, but ,nor , for ),short propositions and to in infinitives. Titles:
The People Without a Country Rules to Abide By
The Myth of a “Negro Literature”
3) No period（句号） is used at the end of a title. Question mark（问号）, quotation marks （引号） are OK.
2. Word Division （移行）
The general principle is to divide a word according to its syllables. Pay attention to the following :
1. One-syllable （单音节）words like through,march,brain and pushed cannot be divided.
2. One letter of a word cannot be written at the end or at the beginning of a line, even if that one letter makes up a syllable: a.lone, trick.y.
3) Do not put a two –letter syllable at the beginning of a line: hat-ed, cab-in.
4) Avoid separating proper names of people and places: Chi-na, Aus-ten.
5)Divide hyphenated words only at the hyphen: father-in-law, empty-handed.
6) Do not divide words in a way that may mislead the reader: pea-cock,re-ally.
7) Do not divide the last word on a page. Write the whole word on the next page.
8) Divide words with prefixes and suffixes and the base part of the word: re-state-ment, un-relent-ing.
9) Divide two-syllable words with double consonants between the two consonants（辅音）: strug-gle, shat-ter.
Attention: Word division is difficult. What is diction?
