英语写作中分号的运用　　分号的主要作用很简单，它常用于分离没有连接词连接的句子。但最好不要在从句之间形成如此之强的停顿。如果你要连接从句，而又不愿意用连接词时，则采用分号。　　Theworldisacomedytothosethatthink;atragedytothosethatfeel.　　Youdon＇twritebecauseyouwanttosaysomething;youwritebecauseyou＇vegotsomethingtosay.　　Inthepast,boybabieswereoftendressedinblue;girls,inpink.　　Can＇tyouseeit＇snogoodtogoonalone;we＇llstarvetodeathifwekeeptravelingthiswaymuchlonger.　　JohnF.Kennedysaidathisinauguralspeech,"Asknotwhatyourcountrycandoforyou;askwhatyoucandoforyourcountry."　　Ourpowertoapprehendtruthislimited;toseekit,limitless.　　Scienceneedstobelivedalongsidereligion,philosophy,historyandestheticexperience;aloneitcanleadtogreatharm.　　下列各词和短语如用于连接复合句时，常与分号连用：　　thenhoweverthusfurthermore　　henceindeedconsequentlyalso
