在这个视频中，我们来看一些中国人使用标点符号的长见错误。有关他们对于句号和逗号的使用。
Sometimes, even Chinese students and business people with a high level of English make the mistakes mentioned in this video.
有时，即使是中国学生和英语水平较高的商务人士也
会犯这个视频中提到的错误。
1: Full Stops
1：句号
Firstly, full stops, known as a period if you learn American English.
首先，在美式英语中，句号也称为period。
Of course, just like with Chinese, English finished every sentence with a full stop. However, there should never be a space before a full stop and always a space after.
当然，就像中文一样，英语每个句子结束之后都有个句号。然而，句号前不应该有空格，句号后应该有一个空格。
Sometimes, sentences are finished with three full stops… These are referred to as ellipses and are used to indicate to the reader an unfinished thought, a leading statement, a slight pause, an echoing voice, an awkward silence or a trailing off into silence.
有时，句子以三个句号结束… 这些被称为省略号，用于向读者表明未完成的想法，一个主要陈述，轻微的停顿，声音的回响，尴尬的沉默或者逐渐变为沉寂。
2: Commas
2：逗号
As with full stops, there should never be a space before a comma and always one space afterward.
与句号一样，在逗号之前永远不应该有空格，逗号之后空一格。
Commas are used in English to allow the reader to take a breath and to connect simple sentences into compound sentences i.e. connecting two often dependent clauses.
But overall, commas are for adding natural pauses for the reader.
逗号在英语中用来让读者喘息并将简单句子连接成复合句，即连接两个从句。但总的来说，逗号是为读者添加自然停顿。
So if you remember the rules that with both full stops and commas there is never a space before them,
but always a space after them, that’s a great start.
所以，如果你记得句号和逗号的使用规则，它们之前永远不会有空格，但是它们之后有一个，这是一个很好的开始。
