"etc"表示“等等”的意思,后面是有一个句点,如果在 "etc."后面,还要接内容,可以在后面直接添加逗号。例:
They ate cookies, cakes, peanuts, etc., and it's little wonder they ended up with stomach aches.
他们吃饼干、蛋糕、花生,等等,难怪最后肚子疼。
其它标点也可以在 "etc." 后面,比如:分号、问号、惊叹号等。以下是相应的规则:
在 "etc." 后面直接加问号;在 "etc." 后面字节直接加感叹号;在 "etc." 后面字节直接加分号,并在用空格隔开下一个句子;在用作插入语时,使用括号。例:
Students should not pack liquids in their carry-on bags (water, shampoo, makeup remover, etc.)
学生不应在随身行李中携带液体(水、洗发水、卸妆液等)。
扩展资料:
"et cetera",意为“等等”,一般简写为“etc. ”可以表示未列全的一类事物。 "et cetera"表示的是同类事物。例如:
We could use cupcakes, cookies, etc.
我们可以使用蛋糕、饼干等任何甜点。
不要将“etc”用于 "such as" 或 "for example" 引导的介绍性短语中。
Bring items such as cake, chocolates, ice cream, etc. to the party. 这样的表达是不对的。因为 "such as"本身就意味着讲话者没有列举全。
可表达成:
"Bring items such as cake, chocolates, and ice cream to the party."
"Bring cake, chocolates, ice cream, etc. to the party."
可以带蛋糕、巧克力、冰激凌等等到晚会上.
一般会用在句尾,不会用在句首和句中的。和中文的等等一样的用法。
