Contractions
缩写
1. Avoid using contractions in formal writing. A contraction is a combination of two words as one, such as "don''t," "can''t," and "isn''t." The use of contractions is inappropriate in formal legal writing. Replace them with the two-word version of the contraction.
在正式写作中应避免使用缩写形式。 缩写即是将两个词合二为一,比如 "don''t," "can''t," 和"isn''t"。在正式的法律文书中使用缩写形式是不规范的。
Incorrect: He can''t guarantee that the defendant will appear because the defendant hasn''t called him in several days.
Correct: He can not guarantee that the defendant will appear because the defendant has not called him in several days.
2. Remember: "It''s" is the contraction of "it is." The term "its" is the singular possessive of "it." The term "it''s," by contrast, is the contraction of "it is."
记住:“It''s”是“it is”的缩写形式,而“its”是“it”的单数所有格形式。
Correct use as Possessive: 所有格的正确使用:
My ''68 Mustang is on its last journey.
Correct use as Contraction: 缩写形式的正确使用:
It''s a long way from Tipperary.
Cross References: Apostrophes, Possessives 参考:省略符号,所有格 |
