Ellipsis Points
省略号
Ø Within a quotation, use three periods (points of ellipsis) to indicate deleted words or phrases. These three periods are in addition to other needed punctuation. Thus, if a period is already there, the result will be four periods.
Ø 在双引号中，使用三个句点（省略号）表示删除的单词或短语。这三个句点是对其它标点符号的补充。因此，如果一个句点已经存在，那么结果将是四个句点。
示例：
No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power…. The time has come to consider how we might bring about a separation, as complete as possible, between Science and Government in all countries.
—Jacob Bronowski
Ø Do not begin or end a quotation with ellipsis points.
Ø 切勿在双引号的开头或结尾使用省略号。

示例：
a = 1, 2, 3, …
n = 2, 4, 6, …
