Hi, I'm Ryan.
哈囉我是 Ryan
I'm going to be talking about the quotation marks.
我準備要來跟各位談論英文引號
We've got the single quotation marks, which look like that.
我們知道單引號長得像這樣
And the double quotation marks, which look like that.
而雙引號則如這樣
In Australian English we typically use single quotation marks for a quotation
在澳洲英文中,我們常在引用時使用單引號,
and double quotation marks for quotes within quotes.
至於雙引號用在引用句裡的再引用
So, if we say something like
所以如果我們要講述這段話,
Ryan said, single quotation mark,
Ryan 說──後面接單引號──
'We all know that famous quote by Winston Churchill,
我們都知道 Winston Churchill 的經典名言,
and then double quotation marks, and the quote by Winston Churchill,
注意這裡要使用雙引號,而講述完 Winston Churchill 的名言後
that I don't remember right now,
──雖然我不太記得這句話為何──
and then we'd end it all with double and then single.
要接著放雙引號、再來才放單引號
It can be a bit confusing to use it that way.
這種使用方式可能讓人有些困惑
Typically you'll just use the single unless you're quoting within a quote
不過通常我們只會使用單引號,主要在引用句之中再引用時才會用到雙引號
It can be important to check with your referencing guide, or style guide
檢查你在撰寫的文章
that you might be using for that document.
所要求的引用方式或整篇文件的格式是很重要的
Because sometimes referencing styles will have a preference another way.
因為有時候會有不同的引用方法
I can't think of any examples off the top of my head,
我目前無法即時想到更多例子來說明,
but just make sure you check, becuase some people will prefer it the other way around
但記得確認一下,因為有些人對雙引號的用法剛好相反
where you're using double quotation marks.
(他們會在你使用雙引號之處使用單引號)
As a rule, single quotation marks for a quote are the norm.
一般來說,引述字句時使用單引號為常見的用法
That's all for this video on quotation marks.
