正规英文里面有没有分号？？？

英语中当然用分号, 只是用法和中文里很不一样的, 而且中国英语教学中很少讲到的. 我这里简单说一下. 英语里分号最常见的用法是用来连接两个独立的句子, 如下: it is nearly half past five; we cannot reach town before dark. 注意这里用分号. 楼主看了是否惊讶, 因为国内很少有英语课程教这一点的. 上面的句子用句号分开完全可以: it is nearly half past five. we cannot reach town before dark. 区别在于用分号的那句强调了两句句子的紧凑关系. 再如: it is time to vote; we are sick of waiting. 注意这两句之间是有关系的, 可以用分号. 再看下面这句: it is time to vote; i brought my lunch. 这两句话之间没有关系(或关系很远), 这里用分号就不对. 英语里分号还有还有别的用法, 这里不详细讲了. 以上说的是最常用的.

有的、 分号有时又称为小句号。它表示一个停顿，其停顿时间在逗号与冒号的停顿时间之间。文章如采用许多分号，其风格则变得严肃、正式。为了正确使用分号，有必要先学会辨认主句。当两个主句没有任何连接词（and, but, or, nor, for）连接而出现在同一个句子里，这时最好采用分号使之分离。分号的主要作用很简单，它常用于分离没有连接词连接的句子。但最好不要在从句之间形成如此之强的停顿。如果你要连接从句，而又不愿意用连接词时，则采用分号。 The world is a comedy to those that think; a tragedy to those that feel. You don't write because you want to say something; you write because you've got something to say. In the past, boy babies were often dressed in blue; girls, in pink. Can't you see it's no good to go on alone; we'll starve to death if we keep traveling this way much longer. John F. Kennedy said at his inaugural speech, "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." Our power to apprehend truth is limited; to seek it, limitless. Science needs to be lived alongside religion, philosophy, history and esthetic experience; alone it can lead to great harm. 下列各词和短语如用于连接复合句时，常与分号连用： then however thus furthermore hence indeed consequently also that is nevertheless anyhow in addition in fact on the other hand likewise moreover still meanwhile instead besides otherwise in other words henceforth for example therefore at the same time even now 例： Being clever and cynical, he succeeded in becoming president of the company; meanwhile his wife left him. The weather was cold for that time of the year; nevertheless, we set out to hike to the top of that mountain. According to one national survey, high school boys expected a starting salary of $19,500 for their first full-time job; on the other hand, high school girls expected a starting salary of only $15,000.
