英语中的分号"；"是怎么用的?
有分号，用法如下：
1、用来连接两个单独的句子。
例句：
As a general rule, dog is good to eat, apart from dog skin salad；which I generally try to dodge.
通常来说，狗肉很好吃；不过凉拌狗皮除外，我一向对那个敬谢不敏。
2、用来作为超级逗号。
例句：
At that point in time；it was dog eat dog.
在这个时候，就是狗吃够而已。
3、在单重复句中，分句不包含逗号时可以用逗号或分号分隔，包含逗号时宜用分号分隔。
例句：
The expression；to lead a dog's life；describes a person who has an unhappy existence.
词语表达“过着狗一般的生活”用来形容生活潦倒窘迫的人。

“分号”作为超级逗号的用法。
当你把一系列的条目（3个或多个）连写在一起，它们之间通常用由逗号隔开。如果有在各个条目中已经有了逗号，条目之间应使用分号。
Example:We visited Pago Pago,Western Samoa;Curitiba,Brazil;and St. George，Utah.
例如：我们访问了西萨摩亚的帕果-帕果、巴西的库里提巴和犹他州的圣·乔治。
Example:The trio's birthdays are November 10,1946;December 7,1947;and October 31,1950.
例如：3人的生日分别是1946年11月10日、1947年12月7日和1950年10月31号。
Example:Her favorite players are Steve Younga quarterback;Jason Buck, a defensive end;and Ty Detmer,another quarterback.
例如：她最喜欢的球员是四分卫年轻的史蒂夫、防守边锋贾森巴克和另一个四分卫Ty德默。
正如在上面的例子中，引用地方、日期和带说明的人名是使用分号作为超级逗号的3种很常见的场合。
分号有时又称为小句号.它表示一个停顿,其停顿时间在逗号与冒号的停顿时间之间.文章如采用许多分号,其风格则变得严肃、正式.为了正确使用分号,有必要先学会辨认主句.当两个主句没有任何连接词（and,but,or,nor,for）连接而出现在同一个句子里,这时最好采用分号使之分离.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.
