单词	semicolon
释义	semicolonsem‧i‧co‧lon, ˌsemi-ˈcolon /ˌsemiˈkəʊlən $ ˈsemiˌkoʊlən/ ●●○ noun [countable] Examples EXAMPLES FROM THE CORPUS A semicolon following a prompt string is an acceptable alternative to a comma. A spurious semicolon has lost its defiant power to separate life from death. But play around a little, using colons, dashes, semicolons, and ellipses-among others. It is also possible to combine sentences using semicolons. Rather it was a fiery punctuation mark, a coal-like comma, or salamander semicolon, in a continuing story. Using subscript comma and subscript semicolon notation a standard space-time derivative is written whilst a covariant derivative is written. Whenever you use a semicolon, note that you also had the option of using a full stop instead.
