英语中引号的使用
（1）书面会话种，我们用引号（单引号'——'或双引号“——”）将实际的对号括起来。
'What are you doing?' She asked.
'I'm hanging this picture on the wall,' I answered.' It's a new one. Do you like it?'
She looked at it critically for a moment. 'It's all right,' she said,'but isn't it upside down?'
书写时，引号位于一行之上，在句尾其他标点符号之外。
若引语位于句首，第一个词首字母需大写。
在said, asked等词后面用逗号，只有当它们在句尾时，后才用句号。
当said, asked等词置于引语之间时，句子的后半部分以小写字母开始。
当一个新的说话人开始讲话时，需另起一段。
(2) 引号(单引号' … '或双引号" … ")也可用于单词或短语，表示不寻常的词，
以引人注意，或是用于一些书名等名称。
They always tell you what a picture is 'about'.
How do you spell the word 'material'?
She enjoyed the film 'Cinderella‘.
