How to use the pause:

The Chinese Teaching Syllabus for Primary Schools requires the fourth grade students to learn to use the pause.

A pause, like a comma, indicates a pause in a sentence. The difference between it and a comma is that it is only used between juxtaposed components in a sentence, and a pause is equivalent to a conjunction? And? , that is, where the pause is used, it can generally be used? And? Words; However, with? And? Not all places can be changed to pause.

what is a coordinate component? Words used in sentences, phrases and sentences larger than words, which are in the same position, belong to the narrated object, or belong to other things, are called coordinate elements.

For example,

1. There is a sewing basket on the small stool in front, and scissors, thread balls, cloth ends and sewing kits are put in the basket.

(Chinese for Primary School, Volume 5, Pajamas for Weeks)

2. Gansu, Qinghai, Shaanxi and other provinces are partly supplied with electricity.

(Visit Liujiaxia Hydropower Station in Volume 8 of Chinese for Primary School)

3. There are all kinds of wild flowers in full bloom on the grass, red, white, yellow and purple, which really looks like a beautiful big flower bed.

(Beautiful Xiaoxing 'anling, Volume 5 of Chinese for Primary School)

4. The more you look at Xing 'anling, the cuter it becomes! Its beauty and construction are integrated, and its beauty is not empty. It makes people feel kind and comfortable.

(Lin Hai, Volume 11 of Chinese for Primary School)

5. The seabed is really a world with strange scenery and rich products.

6. Keeping a diary can improve your observation ability, cognitive ability and writing ability.

(Basic Training 7, Volume 6 of Chinese for Primary School)

7. There are many strange stones in Huangshan, like? Looking at the moon? 、? Lions grab the ball? 、? Fairy plays the piano. Those strange rocks that can't be named are waiting for you to name them!

(Chinese in Primary School, Volume 4, Strange Stones in Huangshan Mountain)

In Example 1? Scissors, thread balls, cloth ends, sewing kits? Four kinds of objects coexist in the basket, which is a parallel relationship; As words, their position in this sentence is also juxtaposed. So the pause is used between them, and the third pause is? And? Word substitution. Example 2? Gansu, Qinghai and Shaanxi? , is a coordinate geographical unit, and it is also a coordinate relationship in the sentence, so a pause is used between them. In example 3? Red, white, yellow and purple? It's several colors tied together, with a pause in the middle. In example 4? Kind and comfortable? , is a psychological feeling and experience, is a parallel relationship, so the pause is used between them.

Examples of using the pause:

Example 1? The coordinate elements in Example 4 are all acted by words.

in example 5,? Strange scenery and rich products? It is an evaluation of the underwater world, a parallel relationship, and a parallel position in this sentence, so a pause is used between them. In example 6? Observation ability, cognitive ability and composition ability? As an ability, it exists side by side, and as a phrase, its position in this sentence is also tied. So they use pause between them.

The coordinate elements in Examples 5 and 6 are not words, but phrases composed of multiple words, such as? Strange scenery? By? Scenery? And? Strange? Two words,? Writing ability? By? Composition? And? Ability? It consists of two words. This form of composition that is bigger than words and smaller than sentences is called? Phrases .

in case 7,? The dog looks at the moon, the lion grabs the ball and the fairy plays the piano? They are different rock names, and each of them is a complete sentence, but in Example 7, they lose their independence as sentences and become three side-by-side small components of a component in a big sentence. So they also use pause between them. (Words with quotation marks can also be separated without pause. )

The pause indicates a slight pause, the pause time is relative to other symbols, and the pause time indicated by the symbols of sentence marks (period, question mark and exclamation point) is slightly longer; The pause indicated by the symbols (pause, comma, semicolon) inside the sentence is slightly shorter. In the pause inside the sentence, the pause indicated by the pause sign is the shortest, the semicolon is the longest, and the comma is in the middle. The following examples can reflect the requirements of this regulation:

8. The grain, vegetables, fruits and meat we eat, the cotton, linen, wool and silk we wear, and the firewood we burn are all closely related to the sun.

(The Sun, Volume 8 of Chinese for Primary School)

9. Without the sun, the earth would be dark and cold everywhere, without wind, snow, rain, dew, grass, trees, birds and animals, and naturally there would be no one.

in case 8,? Food? Wearing? Burned? The three parts are separated by commas, and? Food? In this small part? Food, vegetables, fruits, meat? Use a pause to separate them. Wearing? In this small part? Cotton, hemp, wool and silk? Separated by a pause. Obviously, the pause of comma is greater than the pause of pause. In example 9? No? There are no commas between them, and each one? No? A pause is used between the juxtaposed components in, and the pause of the pause is less than a comma.

as I said before, the pause is equivalent to? And? Word. In general, if the coordinate component consists of two words or phrases, use pause or? And? Any word is ok; If the coordinate component consists of three or more words, don't use it? And? Words can also be used (as in Example 8 and Example 9). Do you want to use them? And? Words must be used between the last two tied words. ? And? The word replaces a pause (as in Example 6).

however, not all coordinate components can be used? And? Words instead of pause, for example:

1. The girl bent down and held it in her hand, heavy and shiny, burning her eyes.

(Diamonds, Volume 8 of the Chinese textbook for six-year primary schools)

Only pause can be used between the coordinate components in Example 1, but not? And? Word. If you change the pause in it? And? Words are not easy to understand when read.

The pause is used between the coordinate components, but it is not necessary to use the pause between the coordinate components. Some can use commas, while others can be omitted because of their close relationship. For example,

11. East, west, north and south are roads.

12. I'm busy up and down, inside and out.

in example 11? East? West? South? North? It's a coordinate component. In example 12? Go up? Next time? Rili? Outside? It is also a coordinate component, but because of the close relationship, you can't add pause. If you add pause, it will destroy the original effect.

13. At that time, I was still young, so I could only help my grandmother clean the table and sweep the floor. She wouldn't let me do anything else.

(Chinese in Primary School, Volume 5, Relatives)

In Example 13? Wipe the table? And? Sweep the floor? Is a coordinate component, because of the close relationship, there is no pause.

The pause also has a special purpose. It is used after the ordinal number of an entry to indicate a pause, such as? Explain? That's how parts are used.

1. This dictionary was reprinted according to the 199 edition?

second, this dictionary is a small Chinese reference book for readers with medium education.

(Xinhua Dictionary by the Commercial Press? Description)

This usage of the pause only means pause, and many books are not used, such as the nine-year compulsory education Chinese textbook published by People's Education Press, where there is no punctuation after the directory ordinal number. A dot is used after the directory ordinal number of the math book.

the following three points must be paid attention to in the application of the pause:

(1) Must we correctly grasp it? Parallel relationship? Words, phrases, sentences. If you don't do this, you can't use the pause, and even if you use it, you will make mistakes. For example,

14. There are fish, shrimp, shellfish and various seaweeds in the shallow sea, such as kelp, laver and seaweed.

(student's homework)

15. The little monkey was busy for a long time, but he didn't get any corn, peaches, watermelons or rabbits.

(Students' Homework)

Example 14 is a pause exercise in Basic Training 2, Volume 7 of Chinese for Nine-year Compulsory Education. A few students added a pause as in Example 14. What if? Fish? Shrimp? Bay? Seaweed? Appear at the same time, can constitute a tie, that is? There are fish, shrimp, shellfish and seaweed in the shallow sea. ? What if? Fish? Shrimp? Bay? Kelp? Laver? Gelidium? Appear at the same time, can also constitute a tie, that is? Are there fish, shrimp, shellfish, kelp, laver, and cauliflower in the shallow sea? . Because,? Seaweed? Contain? Kelp? Laver? And? Gelidium? ，? Seaweed? With? Kelp? Laver? Gelidium? You cannot form a parallel relationship. The correct punctuation should be:

There are fish, shrimp, shellfish, and all kinds of seaweed, such as kelp, laver, and cauliflower.

in the sentence? Yes? There are also conjunctions. Yes? With? What else? Comma should be used between. If you use pause, it will make? Fish, shrimp, shellfish? With? And all kinds of seaweed? It is obviously wrong to constitute juxtaposition.

The mistake in Example 15 is caused by this: What do the students who punctuate think? Rabbit? And? Corn? 、? Peach? 、? Watermelon? Yes? Animals? And? Plants? The difference between, do not belong to the same kind, can not be tied, so in? Rabbit? A comma was added before it. This classmate didn't understand what it meant. Coordinate elements in a sentence? .

(2) Although words are in a coordinate relationship, they are closely related or have solidified into phrases. If they are not for special emphasis, there is no need to add a pause between them, which will make the sentence loose. The analysis has been carried out before. Another example? Workers, peasants and soldiers? Agriculture, industry and commerce Seventy or eighty people? Words with equal juxtaposition should not split the garton sign.

(3) Use pause to analyze whether it will cut off the sentence and cause ambiguity. That is to say, to obey the needs, you can't see the juxtaposition and just add the number. For example,

16. We should strengthen the education of loving the motherland, hating the enemy, despising and caring for the collective.

the original intention of example 16 is: Strengthen the education of loving the motherland? Strengthen the education of contempt and hatred for the enemy? Strengthen the education of caring for the collective? . That is to say, the coordinate components of this sentence have two levels:? Love for the motherland? Despise and hate the enemy? Care about the collective? A coordinate component belonging to the first level, consisting of the first pause and? And? Words to mark,? Despise? And? Hate? Yes? The juxtaposition of elements among the enemy belongs to the second level. In the use of pause, I didn't pay attention to these two levels. When I saw the coordinate components, I added pause, which made the sentence hierarchy confused. Despise and care about the collective? It is easy to be understood as a whole and despise and care about the collective, which obviously leads to ambiguity. So,? Hate? With? Despise? The pause between should be removed.

The pause occupies the position of a word in writing, and it must be written immediately after the preceding paragraph, and cannot be written independently at the beginning of a line.
