Quotation marks - 引號("")

b. Do not use quotation marks with indirect quotations.
- 使用引號("")時請勿放入非直接引用的話(比如他人轉述或編輯過的內容)

- 如果不是完全直接引用的原話，請不要使用引號(""), 除非你想刻意強調它。

- 英文標點中，逗號(, )和句號(. )永遠在雙引號("")的裡面。
2. Colons and semicolons always go outside the quotation mark.
- 冒號(: )和分號(; )永遠在引號("")的外面。
3. If a quotation is within a quotation, use single quotation marks around it.

例句: “… I do,” said Mimi.
c. Use an ellipsis to indicate a sentence trailing off.
- 使用省略號提示，還有一句話“未完待續”。(比如，某一頁書的最後一句放了省略號)
Imagine this as the final sentence of a book chapter—it entices you to turn the page to read what happens next:
Tom and Carlos were camping in the woods, asleep in their tent, when they heard it—the sound…
d. Use an ellipsis to indicate a long, slow break.
- 暗示有一段時間較長、較緩慢的暫停。

There it was again - that loud, crashing sound.
