标点符号趣谈

有一天上英语课,老师刚刚到教室门口,忽然听见坐在前排的Tom对Jack说:“瞧,这傻瓜要给我们讲标点符号的重要性了。”老师走进教室,不动声色地在黑板上写下这样一个句子:“Tom says the teacher is a fool.”顿时全班轰然。Tom羞红了脸。此时,只见老师不慌不忙地给原来的句子加上几个标点符号:“Tom,”Says the teacher,“is a fool”.这样以来,汤姆原本想骂老师是傻瓜,结果却     

逗号虽小,趣味无穷

有些小马虎平时做作业不大认真,常常不加标点符号,甚至认为可有可无,无关大局、这是十分错误的。先列举二例趣闻,读后你就会认为逗号虽小,切不可等闲视之。 例1:有个学生名叫Gerald(杰拉尔德)上课铃响了还在大声说:“老师是个真正的傻瓜。”一天老师上课时宣布:“今天我们要学习标点符号。”然后在黑板上写了这样一句英语,“Gerald says the teacher is a real fool。”“(杰拉尔德说老师是个真正的傻瓜。”)学生哄堂大笑后、老师在该句中加了两个逗号,变成,“Gerald,says the teacher,is a real fool。”结果其意思为“老师说,杰尔拉德是个真正的傻瓜。”于是令该生面红耳赤,十分内疚。 例2:有这么一则广告,内容如下:

E老师在线问答

学生:The good news is that my math teacher said that I was hard working.这句话中news是复 数形式,为什么be动词要用is? E老师:这个问题的关键是news这个词是以s结尾的名词,意义上是一个不可数名词。所以 不能有a news,two news的说法,正确的表达方式是a piece of news,two pieces of news。本句的主语是the good news,由于中心词news不可数,所以谓语动词要用is。 学生:Tom borrowed my book and did not return it back.这句话的错误出在什么地方?
