英语中冒号是不是可以用来解释前面整个句子

英语中冒号是不是可以用来解释前面整个句子

英语中的冒号有这个用法。
A colon may be used between independent clauses when the second sentence explains, illustrates, paraphrases, or expands on the first sentence.
Example: He got what he worked for: he really earned that promotion.
Example: Remember the old saying: Be careful what you wish for.

1.冒号用于对后面内容的介绍或解释，如 this is her plan: go shopping. 2.冒号用于名单之前，特别是一个竖排的名单。 we transferred three employees to new branches: • tony wang to new york city • mike jackson to tokyo • mark foster to paris 当名单横排的时候，冒号要用在一个完整的句子之后，如 we need seven people: three students, three engineers, and a professor. 3.冒号用于一个正式的引用之前。如 the professor said: “it was horrible.” 4.冒号也可用于商业或正式信函的称谓后面，如 dear mr. lee:(美国英语中，信件或演说词的称呼语之后用冒号，而在英国英语中多用逗号。) 5.冒号用于数字时间的表示，如16:45 或 4:45 p.m. 6.冒号用于主标题和副标题之间，如 web directory: world and non-u.s. economic data
