引文[form-quotations]

作为文献证据引用的正式引文，用冒号引出，并加上引号。

The United States Coast Pilot has this to say of the place: "Bracy Cove, 0.5 mile eastward of Bear Island, is exposed to southeast winds, has a rocky and uneven bottom, and is unfit for anchorage."

在语法上作同位语或动词直接宾语的引文，前面用逗号，并加上引号。

I am reminded of the advice of my neighbor, "Never worry about your heart till it stops beating."

Mark Twain says, "A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read."

当引文后面跟着一个定语短语时，逗号放在引号之内。

"I can't attend," she said.

印刷惯例要求逗号位于引号之内，尽管从逻辑上说它常常似乎不属于那里。

"The Fish." "Poetry," and "The Monkeys" are in Marianne Moore's Selected Poems.

当整行或多行引文（无论诗体还是散文）要像本书中的引文那样在版式上与正文区分开时，另起一行并缩进。除非引号出现在原文中，否则不应使用引号，例如对话中。

华兹华斯对法国大革命的热情起初没有边际：

Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, But to be young was very heaven!

由that引出的引文是间接引语，不加引号。

Keats declares that beauty is truth, truth beauty. Dickinson states that a coffin is a small domain.

谚语式表达和源自文学的名言熟语不需要引号。
