收到EMS的校样。 一打开,就看见杂志编辑把原题目:
 江南古镇旅游>吉娜是哪国人
Evaluation of an ecosystem model for a wheat-maize double cropping
 
改成了:
 
Evaluation of an ecosystem model for a wheatmaize double cropping
 
紧接着,又在摘要中第一行就把
 
A process - based ecosystem model
 
改成
 
A process-based ecosystem model
 
之后这样类似的改动就连篇累牍了。
 
说实话,以前校对英文稿,也发现过类似的问题,但因为很少,而且小横线又如此之小,所以从来没对英文中的小横线留过心,在过意。
 
但这篇文章让编辑这么费心,看来是触到大神经了,所以赶快补课,捏成下表:

Hyphen
-
直接击打键盘上紧挨着等号的那个小小短横
To break single words into parts, or to join ordinarily separate words into single words. Spaces should not be placed between a hyphen and either of the words it connects except when using a suspended or "hanging" hyphen (e.g. nineteenth- and twentieth-century writers).
(1)    这是英文中最小号的小横线
(2)    把一个单词分成两部分,如行末断字,分音节等
(3)    因为是连接一个单词的两部分,所以即使放在两个独立词之间,这两个词严格意义上实际上变成了一个词,如three-year-old girl

(2)ctrl numeric hyphen

两个单词之间打两个hyphen hyphen与字之间空格乔家儿女大结局, 然后word 自动校准成en dash A –
B
commonly used to indicate a closed range of values, meaning a range with clearly defined and non-infinite upper and lower boundaries. This may include ranges such as those between dates, times, or numbers. 例如:
•    June–July 1967
•    1:00–2:
•    For ages 3–5
•    pp. 38–55
•    President Jimmy Carter (1977–1981)
The en dash can also be used to contrast values, or illustrate a relationship between two things。例如:
•    Mother–daughter relationship
(1)    这是英文中的中号的小横线
(2)    当连接两个词时,这两个词多是平行关系,不像hyphen互相之间有一定的修饰关系
(3)    而有时,即使是修饰关系,当连接的两个词的其中一个本身词是复合名词时,要用en dash,试比较:
 
The post–World War II era (however, a hyphen would be used in post-war era)
Em dash
(1)—
numLock灯开启,alt0151
(2)
Ctrlalt numeric hyphen
(3)两个单词之间打两个hyphen hyphen与字之间没有空格 A—B
 
 
demarcates a break of thought or some similar interpolation stronger than the interpolation demarcated by parentheses 例如:
•    I distinctly heard him say, 'Go away or I'll——'.
•    It was alleged that D—— had been threatened with blackmail
(1)  这是英文中的大号的小横线
(2)  这个符号在中文中好似破折号,好理解,不易混淆

Minus
标准的应该是用数学公式键入,但在正文中应该用哪一个我就不知道了,用word,插入特殊符号选数学负号-
数学负号或者减号
四种符号的比较: - – —

到底哪个对?可能是印刷社的问题,我们不用考虑了。
