文档介绍：大写
Capitals are used mainly at three places: the fisrt words of sentences, key words in titles, and proper names. Not only plete sentence, but a sentence fragment treated as a sentence, should begin with a capital letter. The first word of quoted speech(words put between quotation marks) is capitalized. If a quoted sentence is broken into two parts and put in two pairs of quotation marks, the second part does not begin with a capital letter unless the first word is a proper noun or an adjective deribed from a proper noun:大写在字母主要用于三处:句子开头,标题中的实意词和专有名词。不只是完整的句子,不完整的句子,也应用大写的字母开头。引语(两个引号之间的词语)如是完整的句子,也用大写字母开头。如引用的一句话分成两部分,放在两队引号之中,第二部分不用大写字母开头,
除非第一个词是专有名词:
He said,“My trip to Mount Tai was interesting.”
“My trip to Mount Tai,” he said,“was interesting.”
I asked, “When do you usually go home?”

完整Unity
完整是好句子的第一要点。一个完整的句子表达单一的完整的思想。它不包含并不紧密相关的意思,也不表达本身不完整的思想
Faulty: Born in a small town in South China in the early 50s, he grew up to be a famous musician.
Revised: He was born in a small town in South China in the early 50s. In his childhood he liked to sing songs. Later he entered a conservatory. In the 70s he became a famous musician.
原句的两部分之间没有逻辑上的联系,因为在50年代出生于华南一个小城市的一个人并不一定会成为有名的音乐家。这个句子因此缺少完整性。改后的句子就好一些,因为它解释了那人是怎样成了音乐家的。
Faulty: Do Fu was one of the greatest poets.
Revised: Do Fu was one of the greatest poets of the Tang Period.
第一句有毛病,因为所表达的思想并不完整;时代和国家都没有提到。加了the Tang Period 句子的意思就清楚了;我们都知道唐代是中国历史上的一个朝代。
连贯Coherence
连贯是指句子各部分之间清楚而合理的联系。句子中的词语和部分应恰当地衔接,它们之间的关系应十分清楚。不连贯的句子通常有以下几种毛病:平行结构有缺点,代词指代不清楚,修饰语和被修饰语的关系不明确,在人称,数,语态,时态或语气上有混乱之处。
Faulty: A man is judged not only by what he says but also by his deeds.
Revised: A man is judged not only by what he says but also by what he does.
A man is judged not only by his words but also by his deeds.
