They have no spaces before them, but one or two spaces after. Applications of the semicolon in English include: * Between closely related independent clauses not conjoined with a co-ordinating conjunction: ★ "I went to the swimming pool; I was told it was closed for routine maintenance." ★ "A man chooses; a slave obeys." * Between independent clauses linked with a transitional phrase or a conjunctive adverb: ★ "I like to eat cows; however, I don't like to be eaten by them." * Between items in a series or listing containing internal punctuation, especially parenthetic commas, where the semicolons function as serial commas: ★ "She saw three men: Donald, who came from New Zealand; Jon, the milkman's son; and George, a gaunt kind of man." ★ "Several fast food restaurants can be found in each of London, England; Paris, France; Dublin, Ireland; and Madrid, Spain." ★ "Examples of familiar sequences are: one, two, and three; a, b, and c; and first, second, and third." 分號後面跟著小寫字母，除非是特殊名詞。分號前面沒有空格，後面則有一或兩個空格。英文中分號的用法如下： * 兩個高度相關的獨立子句且沒有連接詞 ★ "I went to the swimming pool; I was told it was closed for routine maintenance." ★ "A man chooses; a slave obeys." * 兩個用轉折詞或連接副詞連結的獨立子句 ★ "I like to eat cows; however, I don't like to be eaten by them." * 一連串的清單事物或其中有符號（尤其是插入型的逗號），此時分號用法如逗號。 ★ "She saw three men: Donald, who came from New Zealand; Jon, the milkman's son; and George, a gaunt kind of man." ★ "Several fast food restaurants can be found in each of London, England; Paris, France; Dublin, Ireland; and Madrid, Spain." ★ "Examples of familiar sequences are: one, two, and three; a, b, and c; and first, second, and third." 不過我們都知道只用 wiki 會被笑不專業（不爽自己寫阿）那我們來看看 Universary Purdue 的 Online Writing Laboratory 中怎麼寫的？ Commas vs. Semicolons in Compound Sentences A group of words containing a subject and a verb and expressing a complete thought is called a sentence or an independent clause. Sometimes, an independent clause stands alone as a sentence, and sometimes two independent clauses are linked together into what is called a compound sentence. Depending on the circumstances, one of two different punctuation marks can be used between the independent clauses in a compound sentence: a comma or a semicolon. The choice is yours. Comma (,) Use a comma after the first independent clause when you link two independent clauses with one of the following coordinating conjunctions: and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet. For example: ★ "I am going home, and I intend to stay there." ★ "It rained heavily during the afternoon, but we managed to have our picnic anyway." ★ "They couldn't make it to the summit and back before dark, so they decided to camp for the night." Semicolon (;) Use a semicolon when you link two independent clauses with no connecting words. For example: ★ "I am going home; I intend to stay there." ★ "It rained heavily during the afternoon; we managed to have our picnic anyway." ★ "They couldn't make it to the summit and back before dark; they decided to camp for the night." You can also use a semicolon when you join two independent clauses together with one of the following conjunctive adverbs (adverbs that join independent clauses): however, moreover, therefore, consequently, otherwise, nevertheless, thus, etc. For example: ★ "I am going home; moreover, I intend to stay there." ★ "It rained heavily during the afternoon; however, we managed to have our picnic anyway." ★ "They couldn't make it to the summit and back before dark; therefore, they decided to camp for the night." For more information about compound sentence patterns, see the Purdue OWL handout on Sentence Punctuation Patterns. 複合句中的逗號與分號一組包含主詞及動詞且具有完整意義的單詞群，即為句子或獨立子句。有時候一個獨立子句即可成為句子；有時候句子則是兩個獨立子句連結成的複合句。在這前提下，以下兩種符號可能有一種必須被使用在你的複合句中：逗號或句號。逗號（,） * 當你在兩個獨立子句中的使用以下對等連接詞時－and、but、for、or、nor、so、 yet： ★ "I am going home, and I intend to stay there." ★ "It rained heavily during the afternoon, but we managed to have our picnic anyway." ★ "They couldn't make it to the summit and back before dark; they decided to camp for the night." 分號（;） * 當沒有任何連接詞在你的獨立子句之間時： ★ "I am going home; I intend to stay there." ★ "It rained heavily during the afternoon; we managed to have our picnic anyway." ★ "They couldn't make it to the summit and back before dark; they decided to camp for thenight" * 你也可以在加入以下這些連結副詞連結兩獨立子句時使用分號－however、morever、 therefore、consequently、otherwise、nevertheless、thus等： ★ "I am going home; moreover, I intend to stay there." ★ "It rained heavily during the afternoon; however, we managed to have our picnic anyway." ★ "They couldn't make it to the summit and back before dark; therefore, they decided to camp for the night." 更多的問題可以加入五五六六粉絲俱樂部詢問 :) 既然都提供了五五六六粉絲俱樂部的連結（Sentence Punctutation Patterns）不去的話總說不過去（僅列出有關分號的部份） Sentence Punctuation Patterns Pattern Three: Compound Sentence This pattern is an example of a compound sentence with a semicolon. Independent clause [ ; ] independent clause [ . ] Example: Doctors are concerned about the rising death rate from asthma; they are unsure of its cause. Pattern Four: Compound Sentence This pattern is an example of a compound sentence with an independent marker. Independent clause [ ; ] independent marker [ , ] independent clause [ . ] Examples of independent markers are the following: therefore, moreover, thus, consequently, however, also. Example: Doctors are concerned about the rising death rate from asthma; therefore, they have called for more research into its causes. 句子中的標點符號第三型：複合句這是分號最基本的範例句型。獨立子句 [ ; ] 獨立子句 [ . ] Example: Doctors are concerned about the rising death rate from asthma; they are unsure of its cause. 第四型：複合句這是分號與連接副詞結合的最基本句型。獨立子句 [ ; ] 連接副詞 [ , ] 獨立子句 [ . ] 連結副詞大致有以下幾種： therefore、moreover、thus、consequently、however、 also。 Example: Doctors are concerned about the rising death rate from asthma; therefore, they have called for more research into its causes. -- 如果你像我一樣沒料，那你就乖乖推文吧。 NY-Yankees -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.119.135.118
