虽然有关标点符号的运用并没有什么硬性规定，但如果要写风格规范的文章，还是有一些规则可供遵循。
下面就是十个我们使用最多的标点符号的应用规则：
1. 破折号或连字号
破折号：
用来强调一个观点或引入一句解释性话语。但是不要滥用这个符号，否则它们就会失掉强调的力度。在计算机语言里，破折号一般由两个连字号构成，在这两个连字号之前、之后和它们自己之间都没有空格。例：To some of you, my proposals may seem radical-
-even revolutionary.
用来引入一个已经包含有逗号的同位语短语。例：The boys--Jim, John, and Jeff--left the party early.
可以看到，破折号与括号用途相同。
连字号：
当两个单词组合起来用做一个名词之前的形容词，这两个单词之间用连字号连接。例：chocolate-covered peanuts
如果这个名词在前面，不要用连字号。例：The peanuts are chocolate covered.
用于复合数词中。例：forty-five
用来避免句意混乱。例：He had to re-sign the contract. /He had to resign his job.
与前缀ex-(表示“以前的”)、self-、all-和后缀-elect连用，连接前缀与一个首字母大写的词，与数字或字母连用：
ex-husband/self-assured/mid-September/all-inclusive/mayor-elect/anti-American/T-shirt/pre-Civil War/mid-1980s
2. 圆括号
偶尔用来括起一句中插入的或不重要的部分，譬如日期、资料引用来源、或一些从属于主要内容或与主题无关的内容。括号永远成双出现。例：Before arriving at the station, the old train (someone said it was a relic of frontier days) caught fire.
3. 撇号
撇号有三种用法：
1)形成名词所有格
2)表示有字母省略
3)表示小写字母的复数形式
形成名词所有格。例：the boy's hat /three days' journey
如果of后的名词指建筑、物体或家具，不需要撇号。例：the car door。
表示省略。例：He'll go = He will go /could've = could have (不是could of!)
用在复数形式中：
用在小写字母复数形式中。例：Mind your p's and q's
4. 分号
用来连接并列复合句中的独立分句。例：Jim worked hard to earn his degree; consequently, he was certain to achieve a distinction. /Jane overslept by three hours;; she was going to be late for work again.
在列举的时候，如果列举项里已经有逗号，用分号分隔各列举项。例：Members of the band include Harold Rostein, clarinetist; Tony Aluppo, tuba player; and Lee Jefferson, trumpeter.
5. 冒号
用在一句完整的话之后，用来引入一个或多个直接相关的内容，如一串指示、一串例项、一段引语，或其他用来解释或进一步阐释前面的陈述的内容。例：The daily newspaper contains four sections: news, sports, entertainment, and classified ads. /The strategies of corporatist industrial unionism have proven ineffective: compromises and concessions have left labor in a weakened position in the new "flexible" economy.
冒号也用来分隔圣经里的章节和诗节（I Parlipomenon 12:30），分隔分、秒、时（13：49：08），或在表情中用来代表眼睛。
6. 引号
用于准确引用另一个人的话，无论是写的还是说的。例：John said, "We are going shopping."
注意We的首字母大写。除非引用的话是句子里的一个成分，而且在它后面还有内容，否则引用内容的首字母都应当大写。例：John said "we are going shopping" because they had go mild. 注意在这种情况下从句前面逗号的省略。
如果你是在引用别人引用另一个人的话，就要用上单引号。例：John said, "My neighbor yelled at me today! He said 'get off my lawn!' "
如果引用内容是放在一个完整句子后面，在这个句子之后用冒号，而不应当用逗号。例：As D.H.Nachas explains, "The gesture used for greeting others differ greatly from one culture to another." (非完整句) /D.H.Nachas explains cultural differences in greeting customs: "Touching is not a universal sign of greeting. (完整句)
引号也可以用来表示某一个表达有讽刺的涵义，或用来引起对这个说法不寻常的地方的注意。例：The great march of "progress" has left millions impoverished and hungry.
引用内容中的标点：
引用内容中原有的标点应置于引号之内，若是与整个句子相关的标点，置于引号之外。例：Philip asked, "Do you need this book?" /Does Dr. Lim always say to her students, "You must work harder"?
冒号和分号总是放在引号外面；除非紧接着有一个括号，否则在结束引号之前要用逗号或句号。例：He said, "Imay forget your name, but I never remember a face." /Mullen, criticizing the apparent inaction, writes, "Donahue's policy was to do nothing" (27).
7. 感叹号
只在发出命令或是语气非常强烈的时候应用这个符号！与问号相同，不要在这个标点之后再加上一个句号，也不要把它与其他标点符号连用。另外，感叹号一个就够了，连着用上两三个感叹号是绝对没有必要的做法。
8. 问号
这是一个很容易就能用对的标点符号，它只有一个用法——放在一个问句后面。例：How many will be at the party?
如果已经用了句号，就不能再用问号。在正式写作中，是不能把问号与感叹号一起使用的，但这种用法已经越来越普遍，尤其在互联网上更是应用广泛。
特别要注意的是——不要在不需要的地方应用问号，例：
（错误用法）I wonder how many people will come to the party?
当你表达一个似乎需要回答的想法的时候，你是在说一个陈述句。这是句号应用错误最常见的情况。
9. 句点/句号
句号的首要作用在于终结一个句子。句号的第二个重要用法是放在缩略语之后。关于这第二种作用，有一些不同的用法，在下面会详细介绍。
福勒：
根据《现代英语应用》作者马丁·福勒的看法，只有当缩略语的末字母不是原词的末字母的时候，才可以在缩略语之后用句点。例：Jesus Christ was born c.4-6AD。这里面的缩略语c.的原词是circa，因为circa以a结尾，而它的缩略语通常都是c，我们在这里要用上句点。
例：Mr Jones was happy to see his wife. /St Patrick lived in Ireland.
在上面第一句里，Mr是mister的缩略语。因为mister和缩略语Mr都以r结尾，在这里我们要省略句点。
其他做法：
将句点用于缩略语之后的情况还有另一种做法，就是无论原词与缩略语的末字母是否相同，都应用句点。例：Mr. Jones was happy to see his wife.
如果由一个短语而来的缩略语按普通单词的发音规则读出来，在这个缩略语后面不要用句点。例：NASA是对的，而N.A.S.A是错的。在有些情况下，即使这个缩略语不按单词规则发音，这个句点也是省略的，这一般是因为这个缩略语使用非常广泛，例：UCLA（University of California, Los Angeles)。
在eccetera(etc.,)之类的缩略语之后，总是要加上句点。
10. 逗号
用于分隔一句中的独立分句。例：The game was over, but the crowd refused to leave. /Yesterday was her brother's birthday, so she took him out to dinner.
置于介绍性单词、短语或主句之前的子句之后。例：While I was eating, the cat scratched at the door. /If you are ill, you ought to see a doctor.
注意：上述规则不可反过来用。譬如，下面两句就是错误的：The cat scratched at the door, while I was eating. /You ought to see a doctor, if you are ill.
后面应当用逗号的导词有：yes, however,well。例：Yes, you can come to the party.
用两个逗号将插入语与句子主体分隔开来。例：John and Inga, the couple from next door, are coming for dinner tonight.
通过移除插入语，可以检验逗号有没有用对。如果移除之后句子仍然是对的，这两个逗号可能就用对了。以上面句子为例，移除插入语之后，句子就应当是：John and Inga are coming for dinner tonight.
不要用逗号分隔句子的主要部分。例：Students who cheat only harm themselves. /The baby wearing a yellow jumpsuit is my niece.
牛津逗号：
在列举的时候，我个人比较偏好用“牛津逗号”，或称“序列逗号”或“哈佛逗号”。“牛津逗号”在美式英语中的应用要比在英式英语中广泛得多。在用“牛津逗号”的时候，如果列举项在三项或三项以上，所有这些例项都是分隔开来的。例：I love apples, pears, and oranges.
注意pears后的逗号。许多人偏向于不用这种写法，省略最后一个逗号。我们把这个逗号叫做“牛津逗号”，是因为这种风格是在牛津大学教授的标准用法。
用于分隔地理名称、时间（日月之间除外）、地址（街道名与人名之间没有）和姓名。例：Birmingham, Alabama, gets its name from Birmingham, England. /July 22, 1959, was a momentous day in his life.
偶尔也会见到在门牌号和街道名之间用逗号。这并不是错误用法，但这是一种比较老式的用法，现在已经不这样用了。
表示由主句转向一个直接引语。例：John said without emotion, "I'll see you tomorrow." /"I was able, " she answered, "to complete the assignment."
用于避免混淆：To George, Harrison had been a sort of idol.
下面就是十个我们使用最多的标点符号的应用规则：

-even revolutionary.

冒号也用来分隔圣经里的章节和诗节（I Parlipomenon 12:30），分隔分、秒、时（13：49：08），或在表情中用来代表眼睛。
6. 引号
用于准确引用另一个人的话，无论是写的还是说的。例：John said, "We are going shopping."
注意We的首字母大写。除非引用的话是句子里的一个成分，而且在它后面还有内容，否则引用内容的首字母都应当大写。例：John said "we are going shopping" because they had go mild. 注意在这种情况下从句前面逗号的省略。
如果你是在引用别人引用另一个人的话，就要用上单引号。例：John said, "My neighbor yelled at me today! He said 'get off my lawn!' "
如果引用内容是放在一个完整句子后面，在这个句子之后用冒号，而不应当用逗号。例：As D.H.Nachas explains, "The gesture used for greeting others differ greatly from one culture to another." (非完整句) /D.H.Nachas explains cultural differences in greeting customs: "Touching is not a universal sign of greeting. (完整句)
引号也可以用来表示某一个表达有讽刺的涵义，或用来引起对这个说法不寻常的地方的注意。例：The great march of "progress" has left millions impoverished and hungry.
引用内容中的标点：
引用内容中原有的标点应置于引号之内，若是与整个句子相关的标点，置于引号之外。例：Philip asked, "Do you need this book?" /Does Dr. Lim always say to her students, "You must work harder"?
冒号和分号总是放在引号外面；除非紧接着有一个括号，否则在结束引号之前要用逗号或句号。例：He said, "Imay forget your name, but I never remember a face." /Mullen, criticizing the apparent inaction, writes, "Donahue's policy was to do nothing" (27).
7. 感叹号
只在发出命令或是语气非常强烈的时候应用这个符号！与问号相同，不要在这个标点之后再加上一个句号，也不要把它与其他标点符号连用。另外，感叹号一个就够了，连着用上两三个感叹号是绝对没有必要的做法。
8. 问号
这是一个很容易就能用对的标点符号，它只有一个用法——放在一个问句后面。例：How many will be at the party?
如果已经用了句号，就不能再用问号。在正式写作中，是不能把问号与感叹号一起使用的，但这种用法已经越来越普遍，尤其在互联网上更是应用广泛。
特别要注意的是——不要在不需要的地方应用问号，例：
（错误用法）I wonder how many people will come to the party?
当你表达一个似乎需要回答的想法的时候，你是在说一个陈述句。这是句号应用错误最常见的情况。
9. 句点/句号
句号的首要作用在于终结一个句子。句号的第二个重要用法是放在缩略语之后。关于这第二种作用，有一些不同的用法，在下面会详细介绍。
福勒：
根据《现代英语应用》作者马丁·福勒的看法，只有当缩略语的末字母不是原词的末字母的时候，才可以在缩略语之后用句点。例：Jesus Christ was born c.4-6AD。这里面的缩略语c.的原词是circa，因为circa以a结尾，而它的缩略语通常都是c，我们在这里要用上句点。
例：Mr Jones was happy to see his wife. /St Patrick lived in Ireland.
在上面第一句里，Mr是mister的缩略语。因为mister和缩略语Mr都以r结尾，在这里我们要省略句点。
其他做法：
将句点用于缩略语之后的情况还有另一种做法，就是无论原词与缩略语的末字母是否相同，都应用句点。例：Mr. Jones was happy to see his wife.
如果由一个短语而来的缩略语按普通单词的发音规则读出来，在这个缩略语后面不要用句点。例：NASA是对的，而N.A.S.A是错的。在有些情况下，即使这个缩略语不按单词规则发音，这个句点也是省略的，这一般是因为这个缩略语使用非常广泛，例：UCLA（University of California, Los Angeles)。
在eccetera(etc.,)之类的缩略语之后，总是要加上句点。
10. 逗号
用于分隔一句中的独立分句。例：The game was over, but the crowd refused to leave. /Yesterday was her brother's birthday, so she took him out to dinner.
置于介绍性单词、短语或主句之前的子句之后。例：While I was eating, the cat scratched at the door. /If you are ill, you ought to see a doctor.
注意：上述规则不可反过来用。譬如，下面两句就是错误的：The cat scratched at the door, while I was eating. /You ought to see a doctor, if you are ill.
后面应当用逗号的导词有：yes, however,well。例：Yes, you can come to the party.
用两个逗号将插入语与句子主体分隔开来。例：John and Inga, the couple from next door, are coming for dinner tonight.
通过移除插入语，可以检验逗号有没有用对。如果移除之后句子仍然是对的，这两个逗号可能就用对了。以上面句子为例，移除插入语之后，句子就应当是：John and Inga are coming for dinner tonight.
不要用逗号分隔句子的主要部分。例：Students who cheat only harm themselves. /The baby wearing a yellow jumpsuit is my niece.
牛津逗号：
在列举的时候，我个人比较偏好用“牛津逗号”，或称“序列逗号”或“哈佛逗号”。“牛津逗号”在美式英语中的应用要比在英式英语中广泛得多。在用“牛津逗号”的时候，如果列举项在三项或三项以上，所有这些例项都是分隔开来的。例：I love apples, pears, and oranges.
注意pears后的逗号。许多人偏向于不用这种写法，省略最后一个逗号。我们把这个逗号叫做“牛津逗号”，是因为这种风格是在牛津大学教授的标准用法。
用于分隔地理名称、时间（日月之间除外）、地址（街道名与人名之间没有）和姓名。例：Birmingham, Alabama, gets its name from Birmingham, England. /July 22, 1959, was a momentous day in his life.
偶尔也会见到在门牌号和街道名之间用逗号。这并不是错误用法，但这是一种比较老式的用法，现在已经不这样用了。
表示由主句转向一个直接引语。例：John said without emotion, "I'll see you tomorrow." /"I was able, " she answered, "to complete the assignment."
用于避免混淆：To George, Harrison had been a sort of idol.
《绝望主妇》有很多经典地话，和大家一起回味一下。
1.Every storm brings with it hope that somehow by morning, everything will be made clean again. And even the most troubling stains will have disappeared. Like the doubts over his innocence, or the consequence of his mistake, like the scars of his betrayal,or the memory of his kiss.So we wait for the storm to pass hoping for the best, even though we know in our hearts some stains are so indelible, nothing can wash them away.
每随风暴而来的是希望——不论如何，到了早晨，一切都会变干净，即使最顽固的污点也会消失。像对清白的疑惑，错误的结果，背叛的创伤，亲吻的记忆。我们等待着风暴退却，期待着雨过天睛。即使我们清楚在心中, 有些污点是如此顽固，没有什么能将它们清除。
2.Have you met the perfect couple? The two soul mates whose love never dies? The two lovers whose relationship is never threatened.The husband and wife who trust each other completely. If you haven't met the perfect couple, let me introduce you.They stand atop a layer of butter cream frosting. The secret of their success? Well, for starters, they don't have to look at each other.
你有没有遇到过完美的一对，精神伴侣，他们的爱永远不死；这对恋人，他们的爱情从没受到过威胁；丈夫和妻子，完完全全信任对方？如果你没有遇见过这样的一对眷侣，让我来给你介绍这么一对：他们是站在奶油冰淇淋上的。他们成功的秘诀？——他们从来不正视对方
3.We all carry something with us. Of course, it's nice if we travel with someone who can help lighten the load. But usually, it's easier to just drop what we've been carrying so we can get home that much sooner.
Assuming, of course, there will be someone there to greet us when we arrive. Why do we clutch at this baggage, even when we're desperate to move on? Because we all know there's a chance we might let go too soon.
我们都在负重前行。当然，能结伴而行会很幸福, 有人帮助分担重负。但通常抛掉负担会更简单。这样我们就能早日归家。设想着，当然,有人会在家迎接我们归来。为什么有人仍然抓住行李不放，即使我们不顾一切的向前看。因为我们都知道，有的机会也许我们放弃的太快。
4.We all have our reasons for rewriting history.Sometimes we need to provide ourselves alibis. Sometimes we wanna hurt someone who has hurt us, and then there are times we just wanna spare ourselves embarrassment. Of course, there are some who feel that to rewrite history is just another way to lie. But what is history anyway....But a set of lies agree depend?
我们都有要改写历史的原因。有时候我们需要给自己找一些托辞。有时我们想要伤害那些曾经伤害过我们的人, 有时我们只是不想自己困窘难堪。当然，有时改写历史只是另一种方式去说谎。但是，历史究竟是什么呢。。。。难道只是一系列的谎言吗？
5.Sabotage, everyone is capable of it. But some go about it more cruelness than the others. Like the ones who create vengeance,Or the ones who hunger for love.Or the ones who were determined to burn bridges. And then there are those who simply wants something, Something that belongs to someone else
阴谋破坏，每个人都能做，但有些人可以做得更加冷酷。像那些渴望复仇的人,像那些寻觅爱情的人。像那些决定一刀两断的人,也有些人的愿望简单而直接,有时候, 那属于其他人。
6.There is a place in St. Timothy church where sinners go to confess their sins.St.Timothy And once they are done, they expect absolution,But the truth is, not all confessions are worthy of such forgiveness.Most who unveil his agendas deserve the condemnation they receive.Most who disclose revengeful motives marry the punishment that follows.Only the truly repentant at any right at all expect a second chance.Were just why it's best to think twice before you confess.Especially if you don’t know what it is you're confessing to.
教堂有处罪人忏悔的地方 ,当他们忏悔完，都期待能得到宽恕 ,但事实上，不是所有忏悔都值得被原谅。大多数人，秘密计划败露了,得到应有的谴责。大多数人, 报复动机暴露了,得到随之而来的惩罚 ,只有真心悔过，才有权利获得第二次机会。这就是为什么最好在你忏悔前先三思而后行,尤其是如果你不知道你在忏悔什么.
7.Sweetie, we can't prevent what can't predict.Isn't there anything I could do? Yes, yes. You can enjoy this beautiful day.We get so few of them.
亲爱的，我们不能预防我们所不能预知的,有什么是我能做的么？你可以享受这美丽的一天,我们很少有这样的一天.
8.There are so many things we wish we could tell the young,We'd like to persuade them not to grow up so fast,But they won't listen.We want to tell them the beauty face but they refuse to believe it.We worn them that their actions will have consequences, but still they defy us.Suddenly the young can began to understand the world is a dangerous place.So it’s up to us to do anything we can to protect them,Absolutely anything.
有太多的事情我们想要告诉孩子们 ,我们想说服他们，不要这么快就长大。但他们听不进去。我们想告诉他们，花容总有凋谢的一天，但他们拒绝相信。我们警告他们，他们的所作所为会有后果，但他们仍然不予理睬。终有一天，孩子们会意识到这个世界是危险的,所以我们要做的就是，尽一切可能来保护他们.不惜一切代价。
9.Dangerous men walk among us.And we can’t always be sure who they are or what secret they hide.But once our suspicious are confirmed,We can take action,Once their agenda were revealed We can take steps to protect ourselves and those we love.Yes, dangerous men can cause great harm But sometimes the greatest dangerous they pose is to themselves.
危险的人在我们之中潜伏,我们不是总能肯定他们是谁，或者他们隐藏着怎样的秘密,但是最可怕的疑虑得到证实,我们就可以采取行动,一旦他们的行事议程被揭露,我们就能采取措施保护自己和我们爱的人,是的，危险的人会造成巨大的伤害，但是人有时候他们所做有最危险的事, 是对他们自己做的。
10.There's a reason people can't wait for Christmas, and it has little to do with family reunions.Or curling up with a cup of eggnog.with that unexpected kiss beneath the mistletoe.or receiving a present from a special someone.no, people look forward to Christmas.because they know, it's a time for miracles.
人们等不及过圣诞节的理由和家人团聚没有任何关系,或是为了蜷缩着喝一杯蛋酒,又或是槲寄生下那个意料的吻,或是收到某个特殊的人送来的礼物,不是的，人们期待圣诞节的到来,因为他们知道，是时候出现奇迹了...
12.It's a dangerous world. So we all look for protection.And whether we find it in the arms of our mother,or at the end of a jagged blade, or in the kiss of our sweetheart, or at the end of a barrel. We do what we have to to feel safe. Because we know somewhere in the world there are those who would do us harm.
这个世界危机四伏，所以我们都会寻求保护。不管是妈妈那温暖的臂弯，还是一把锯齿刀片，不管是心爱妻子的一个轻吻，还是一把手枪。为了安全感，我们不得不有所行动。因为我们知道世界上的某个地方，有想伤害我们的人。
13.Yes, it can happen so quickly. Life as we know it can change in the blink of an eye.Unlikely friendships can blossom. Important careers can be tossed aside. A long-lost hope can be rekindled.Still, we should be grateful for whatever changes life throws at us, because all too soon the day will come when there are no changes left.
是的，世事瞬息万变。转眼之间，面目全非。不可能的友谊可以开花结果，重要的事业可以放置一边，灰飞烟灭的希望可以重新点燃。不论如何，我们仍然要感激生活的改变，因为不久末日来临，就不在有任何改变了。
14.Recapturing the past is a tricky business. While most memories are simply souvenirs of a happier time, others can be quite deadly.
回顾过去不是件容易事，其中大部分是关于快乐时光的记忆，也有的可能是致命的。
15.In every housewife's closet, there's an article of clothing that tells you more about its owner than she would want you to know. It might be a T-shirt that she despises but wears without complaint. Perhaps it's some lingerie, she knows isn't hers, but refuses to discuss... Or a dress she once loved, that she can no longer bear to look at this. You can learn a lot about women from what they choose to wear. You can learn even more by what they choose to take off, and who they take it off for.
每个主妇的衣橱里，满满的都是关于着装的文章，记载着主人很多不为人知的细节。也许是一件T恤，她很不喜欢，却毫无怨言的穿上；也许是一件内衣，她明知不是自己的，却拒绝提起；也许是一件她曾经非常喜欢的长裙，可如今却再也不想看见。是的，女人决定穿什么，会让你知晓很多，但是如果知道她愿意褪去什么，为谁褪去，你会更加了解她的。
16.It's so easy to spot the lonely ones.They're the people who tell stories to their plants, and whisper secrets to their pets, and have arguments with their TV, and the loneliest of all are the ones who talk to people who are no longer there.
孤单的身影总是随处可见。他们向自己的盆栽倾诉心事，向自己的宠物分享秘密，和自己的电视机争吵不休，但最孤单的则是这样一类人，他们向亡者倾诉。
17.Passion. It's a force so potent we still remember it long after it's faded away. A drive so alluring it can push us to the arms of unexpected lovers. A sensation so overwhelming it can knock down walls we built to protect our hearts. A feeling so intense it resurfaces even though we try so hard to keep it buried. Yes, of all emotions, passion is the one that gives us a reason to live and an excuse to commit all sorts of crimes.
激情，就算它在逝去很久以后，仍是让人如此难以忘记。它是如此强烈的诱惑，把我们推到意想不到的爱人怀中；它是无法抗拒的感情，击垮了我们修筑起来的保护心灵的高墙；它是那尽管我们如此努力的埋藏，却仍浮出水面的炙热情感。是的，在所有的情绪中，激情给了我们生活下去的理由，却也给我们了犯下各种罪刑的借口。
18.Power, it's the type of thing most people don't think about, until it's taken away. Whether it's the political power of the many,or a lover's influence over just one. We all want some sort of power in our lives, if only to give ourselves choices. Yes, to be without choices, to feel utterly powerless, well...it's a lot...like being alone...in the dark.
能量，多数人平日里毫不在意，直到有一天猝然消逝才会察觉。不论是大众的政治权力，还是恋人间亲亲我我的影响。人生中我们都需要某种能量，哪怕只是给我们一些选择。是的，假如连选择都没有，假如连一丝能量都没有，那么在黑暗中，蔓延开来的，就是无边无际的孤独。
19.Anyone can end up a victim...injured by the actions of others. But whether the damage is inflicted by a cunning ex-wife...or a blow delivered by the object of our affection...the time comes when we must pick ourselves up and continue on our journey. And if we can't, then all we can pray for...is rescue.
人人都会末路逢凶，被他人所伤。但无论是被狡猾的前妻算计，还是被我们心仪的对象打击，我们都要站起来，收拾行囊，继续旅程。如果我们做不到，那就只有祈求，被救赎。
20.From the moment we wake up in the morning till our head hits the pillow at night our lives are filled with questions. Most are easily answered and soon forgotten，but some questions are much harder to ask because we're so afraid of the answer. Will I be around to watch my children grow up? Am I making a mistake by marrying this man? Could he ever truly love me? And what happens when we ask ourself the hard question and get the answer we'd been hoping for? Well, that's when happiness begins.
从我们清晨醒来，到我们夜晚入睡，我们的生活充满了疑问。一些容易回答，也容易被忘记；有些问题却难以提出，因为我们害怕知道答案——我能否活着看到孩子们长大？我是否嫁对了人？他是否会真心爱我？以及，当我们终于开口问了问题，也得到了我们希望得到的答案，又会发生什么事情？幸福的生活将从此开始。
21.Family--there is nothing more important. They're the ones who show up when we're in trouble，the ones who push us to succeed，the ones who help keep our secrets. But what of those who have no family to rely on? What happens to those poor souls...who have no loved ones to help them in their hour of need? Well...most learn to walk life's road by themselves. But a sad few of us...simply...stop trying.
家人，这世上最珍贵的风景。困难时他们突然出现；有意无意时他们助推成功；守秘时他们相依为伴。若无这方风景依仗，又将何去何从？那些孤寂的灵魂去往何方？渴求时却没有爱人肩膀，于是只能学着自己走完人生路。但总有可悲的人啊，却连尝试，都要放弃。
1.Every storm brings with it hope that somehow by morning, everything will be made clean again. And even the most troubling stains will have disappeared. Like the doubts over his innocence, or the consequence of his mistake, like the scars of his betrayal,or the memory of his kiss.So we wait for the storm to pass hoping for the best, even though we know in our hearts some stains are so indelible, nothing can wash them away.
每随风暴而来的是希望——不论如何，到了早晨，一切都会变干净，即使最顽固的污点也会消失。像对清白的疑惑，错误的结果，背叛的创伤，亲吻的记忆。我们等待着风暴退却，期待着雨过天睛。即使我们清楚在心中, 有些污点是如此顽固，没有什么能将它们清除。
2.Have you met the perfect couple? The two soul mates whose love never dies? The two lovers whose relationship is never threatened.The husband and wife who trust each other completely. If you haven't met the perfect couple, let me introduce you.They stand atop a layer of butter cream frosting. The secret of their success? Well, for starters, they don't have to look at each other.
你有没有遇到过完美的一对，精神伴侣，他们的爱永远不死；这对恋人，他们的爱情从没受到过威胁；丈夫和妻子，完完全全信任对方？如果你没有遇见过这样的一对眷侣，让我来给你介绍这么一对：他们是站在奶油冰淇淋上的。他们成功的秘诀？——他们从来不正视对方

我们都在负重前行。当然，能结伴而行会很幸福, 有人帮助分担重负。但通常抛掉负担会更简单。这样我们就能早日归家。设想着，当然,有人会在家迎接我们归来。为什么有人仍然抓住行李不放，即使我们不顾一切的向前看。因为我们都知道，有的机会也许我们放弃的太快。
4.We all have our reasons for rewriting history.Sometimes we need to provide ourselves alibis. Sometimes we wanna hurt someone who has hurt us, and then there are times we just wanna spare ourselves embarrassment. Of course, there are some who feel that to rewrite history is just another way to lie. But what is history anyway....But a set of lies agree depend?
我们都有要改写历史的原因。有时候我们需要给自己找一些托辞。有时我们想要伤害那些曾经伤害过我们的人, 有时我们只是不想自己困窘难堪。当然，有时改写历史只是另一种方式去说谎。但是，历史究竟是什么呢。。。。难道只是一系列的谎言吗？
5.Sabotage, everyone is capable of it. But some go about it more cruelness than the others. Like the ones who create vengeance,Or the ones who hunger for love.Or the ones who were determined to burn bridges. And then there are those who simply wants something, Something that belongs to someone else
阴谋破坏，每个人都能做，但有些人可以做得更加冷酷。像那些渴望复仇的人,像那些寻觅爱情的人。像那些决定一刀两断的人,也有些人的愿望简单而直接,有时候, 那属于其他人。

教堂有处罪人忏悔的地方 ,当他们忏悔完，都期待能得到宽恕 ,但事实上，不是所有忏悔都值得被原谅。大多数人，秘密计划败露了,得到应有的谴责。大多数人, 报复动机暴露了,得到随之而来的惩罚 ,只有真心悔过，才有权利获得第二次机会。这就是为什么最好在你忏悔前先三思而后行,尤其是如果你不知道你在忏悔什么.

这个世界危机四伏，所以我们都会寻求保护。不管是妈妈那温暖的臂弯，还是一把锯齿刀片，不管是心爱妻子的一个轻吻，还是一把手枪。为了安全感，我们不得不有所行动。因为我们知道世界上的某个地方，有想伤害我们的人。
13.Yes, it can happen so quickly. Life as we know it can change in the blink of an eye.Unlikely friendships can blossom. Important careers can be tossed aside. A long-lost hope can be rekindled.Still, we should be grateful for whatever changes life throws at us, because all too soon the day will come when there are no changes left.
是的，世事瞬息万变。转眼之间，面目全非。不可能的友谊可以开花结果，重要的事业可以放置一边，灰飞烟灭的希望可以重新点燃。不论如何，我们仍然要感激生活的改变，因为不久末日来临，就不在有任何改变了。

激情，就算它在逝去很久以后，仍是让人如此难以忘记。它是如此强烈的诱惑，把我们推到意想不到的爱人怀中；它是无法抗拒的感情，击垮了我们修筑起来的保护心灵的高墙；它是那尽管我们如此努力的埋藏，却仍浮出水面的炙热情感。是的，在所有的情绪中，激情给了我们生活下去的理由，却也给我们了犯下各种罪刑的借口。

从我们清晨醒来，到我们夜晚入睡，我们的生活充满了疑问。一些容易回答，也容易被忘记；有些问题却难以提出，因为我们害怕知道答案——我能否活着看到孩子们长大？我是否嫁对了人？他是否会真心爱我？以及，当我们终于开口问了问题，也得到了我们希望得到的答案，又会发生什么事情？幸福的生活将从此开始。
21.Family--there is nothing more important. They're the ones who show up when we're in trouble，the ones who push us to succeed，the ones who help keep our secrets. But what of those who have no family to rely on? What happens to those poor souls...who have no loved ones to help them in their hour of need? Well...most learn to walk life's road by themselves. But a sad few of us...simply...stop trying.
家人，这世上最珍贵的风景。困难时他们突然出现；有意无意时他们助推成功；守秘时他们相依为伴。若无这方风景依仗，又将何去何从？那些孤寂的灵魂去往何方？渴求时却没有爱人肩膀，于是只能学着自己走完人生路。但总有可悲的人啊，却连尝试，都要放弃。
一、Roman Holiday。
通常译为《罗马假日》，给人造成的印象是浪漫的意大利之旅。
可是英语中的Roman Holiday出典于罗马帝国时代的角斗士表演，因而据American Heritage Dictionary，其意思实际上是：
1. Enjoyment or satisfaction derived from observing the suffering of others.
2. A violent public spectacle or disturbance in which shame, degradation, or physical harm is intentionally inflicted on one person orgroup by another.
看过影片的人自当对这层含义有所了解。
二、Hobson's Choice。
被译成《霍布逊的选择》。电影中主角名叫Hobson，表面上看也没有问题。
可是大概的情节是，这位Hobson先生是一位鞋店老板，不愿意把大女儿嫁给店里的伙计，结果遭到三个女儿同盟的反对，于是屈从了她们。
在英语中Hobson's Choice也是一个成语，同样据American Heritage Dictionary，它的意思是：An apparently free choice that offers no real alternative.
出典大约是这样：After Thomas Hobson (1544?-1630), English keeper of a livery stable, from his requirement that customers take eitherthe horse nearest the stable door or none。
电影巧用这个名字（莫如说将主角命名为Hobson），正为了套这个典故。而译名恰好颠倒了意思。
三、White Nights。
改编于托斯妥耶夫斯基的同名小说，照字面意思，无论小说或电影都译成了《白夜》。但要知道，这个词组，根据它的法文词源，意思是：A night without sleep. 翻译过来应为《不眠之夜》。电影中男女主人公总是在晚上谈情说爱，最后一晚是个雪夜，这样英文原名实有双关之意。可由于主要的场景不是发生在雪夜，译作白夜似乎太牵强了。
四、Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?
据说香港有报纸译为《谁怕又贞又淫的女人》，台湾某报则译作《谁怕维吉尼亚州的狼》！如果不是在煽情的话，这简直是在卖弄无知了。Virginia Woolf是英国著名的意识流小说家，后来自杀身亡。而这部影片则套用了一曲童谣，名为"Who's afraid of the big, bad wolf?"港台的报纸想象力太过丰富了！
五、Pumpkin Eater。也许有人会译成《食南瓜的人》吧。
其实这也是来源于一首广为流传的童谣："Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater, had a wife and couldn't keep her." 根据故事情节，译做《太太的苦闷》似乎比较恰当。
六、Brave New World。
Aldous Huxley（英国作家，Thomas Huxley之孙）的一本科幻小说名。
早期有人译作《勇敢的新世界》，现在恐怕很多人拿到原著，看到《美丽新世界》的题目，也要以为翻译错了。殊不知，这书题出自莎士比亚的《暴风雨》一剧，Miranda的话："How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world, thathas such people in't!"这里brave一词取的是法语brave的意思，作“好”解。Huxley写此书是反讽20世纪的机器文明，称它为“大好”，其实不以为然。
