Part One Manuscript Form

第一部分 文稿格式

As we are learning to write, we should have a clear idea of what is good manuscript form. We should do everything—writing the title, leaving margins, indenting, capitalizing, and piding words—according to generally accepted rules. Whenever we write something, we should work carefully, write neatly and clearly, and try to make as few mistakes as possible. Before handing in our essay or exercise, we should proofread it once or twice, because we may need to make some final corrections and changes. If we always work in this way, we are sure to make to progress.

当我们学习写作的时候，应该清楚地知道什么是好的文稿格式。我们应该做的每件事是——写标题，留页边距，缩进，首字母大写，并拆分单词——根据普遍接受的规则。每当我们写东西时，应该仔细，字迹工整清楚，尽可能少犯错误。在上交我们的文章或练习前，应该校对一或两次，因为我们可能需要一些最后的修正和变更。如果我们总是用这种方式工作，肯定能取得进步。

Ⅰ. Arrangement

一、排版

Writing in correct manuscript form is very important, because it makes it easy to read what is written and prevents misunderstanding. We should follow the general practices in writing the title, leaving the margins, paragraphing, capitalizing, and piding words.

用正确的文稿格式书写是非常重要的，因为它使文章被写的易于阅读并防止误解。我们应该按照一般惯例写题目，留页边距，分段，首字母大写，并拆分单词。

When we write an essay to be read by the teacher, we should write on every other line so that there will be room for corrections. It is necessary to leave a margin of about two centimeters at the top and the bottom of the page, and one of a centimeter and a half on the right and left side.

当我们按照老师阅读的要求写一篇文章时，应该隔行书写以便于有改正的空间。必须在页面顶端和底部留出大约两厘米，右侧和左侧分别留出1.5厘米的页边距。

We cannot make the right margin straight or neat, unless we are using a computer, but we should never write to the very edge of the page. When the space left near the end of a line is not or barely enough for the word we are going to write, we should write the word on the next line or pide the word if it is a long one. There

must be a blank space on the right side of the page.

我们不能使右边距整齐，除非正在用电脑，但绝不该写到页边缘。当接近行尾，剩下的空间不够或勉强够写一个长单词，应该写在下一行或拆分单词。页面右侧肯定有一处空白。

The title or topic of the essay should be placed in the middle of the first line. Every word of the title (including words following hyphens in compound words) should be capitalized. Except articles, short prepositions, coordinating conjunctions(and, or, but, so, yet, nor, and for) and to in infinitives. But if one of these words is the first or last word of the title, it should be capitalized. Topics are generally noun phrases(nouns with their modifiers), though other forms are possible. No full stop should be used at the end of a title.

A question mark is needed if the topic is a direct question(but an indirect question is not followed by a question mark). The title of a book within the topic should be underlined(italicized in printing), and the title of an article put between quotation marks.

文章的标题或主题应该在第一行居中。标题的每个单词（包括复合词中连字符后的单词）应该首字母大写。冠词、简短介词、并列连词（and, or, but, so, yet, nor和for）和不定式中的to除外，但如果是标题的第一或最后一个单词，应该首字母大写。主题一般是名词短语（名词加修饰词），不过可能有其他形式。标题结尾应该不用句点。如果主题是一个直接问句需要加问号

（但间接问句不能跟问号）。主题中包含书名应该强调（斜体印刷），文章的标题应该放到引号中间。

Below are some examples:

My Impressions of Beijing

Interpretations of Robert Frost’s “Fire and Ice”

解读罗伯特〃弗罗斯特的“火与冰”

The first line of every paragraph should be indented(started after a space of four or five letters).

每段的第一行应该缩进（从四或五个字母的空格后开始） Arabic numerals are generally used for paging. They can be put either in the upper right-hand corner or in the middle below the last

line of every page.

阿拉伯数字通常被用于分页。它们被放到每页的右上角或最后一行下方居中。

A line is never begun with a comma, a period, a semicolon, a colon, a question mark or an exclamation mark; a line never ends with the first half of a pair of brackets, quotation marks, or parentheses. The hyphen that shows a word is pided is put at the end, not at the beginning, of a line.

一行从不起始于逗号、句点、分号、冒号、问号或感叹号；从不结束于上半个方括号、引号或圆括号。出现连字符的拆分词被放在行尾而不是行首。

Ⅱ. Word Division

二、拆分单词

The following hints may be helpful to us in the pision of words:

下面的提示可能对我们在拆分单词时有所帮助。

One-syllable words such as count, health and thought cannot be pided. Words with two or more syllables can be pided according to the formation of syllables: re-peat-ed, in-sist, punc-tu-al, san-dal, de-cline, trans-la-tion.

单音节词例如count, health和thought不能被拆分。有两个或更多音节的单词可以根据音节的构成被拆分：re-peat-ed,

in-sist, punc-tu-al, san-dal, de-cline, trans-la-tion。

A stressed close syllable usually takes a consonant with it: ded-i-cate, grat-i-fy, la-bor-a-to-ry, fin-nish.

一个重读闭音节通常带一个辅音字母：ded-i-cate, grat-i-fy, la-bor-a-to-ry, fin-nish。

A consonant plus -le is treated as a syllable: min-gle, peo-ple, no-ble, gig-gle.

一个辅音字母加-le被视为一个音节：min-gle, peo-ple, no-ble, gig-gle.
