几天前，我被一个写着：“小狗”的标志感到震惊。这引发了对正确使用引号的思考。很多时候，他们习惯于提请注意一个词，就像这种情况一样; 然而，这个选择并不属于西班牙皇家学院 （RAE）提到的使用。根据RAE的规定，引号有以下用途：

  A few days ago I was struck by a sign that was written as: BEWARE OF “DOG”. This sparked a thought on the correct uses of quotation marks. Many times, they are used to draw attention to a word, as in this case; however, this option is not among the uses mentioned by the Real Academia Espa?ola (RAE). According to the rules of the RAE, quotation marks have the following uses:

  对于文字引语：约翰说：“我不会去那个地方。”

  For textual quotations: John said, “I will not go to that place.”

  在叙事性的文学作品中，直接重现人物思想的文本：“我们永远不会找到”思想导演。

  In literary works of a narrative nature, texts that directly reproduce the thoughts of the characters: “We will never find it” thought the director.

  表示一个字或表达是不正当的，粗俗的，来自另一种语言或讽刺地使用或具有特殊意义：他告诉我他看到一个“蝙蝠”; 他解释说，他的哥哥是“特别的”。

  To indicate that a word or expression is improper, vulgar, comes from another language or is used ironically or has a special meaning: He told me he saw a “bat”; He explained that his brother was quite “special.”

  强调一个术语，在手稿中，从语言角度来说：“自然”这个词有两个音节。

  To emphasize a term that, in a manuscript, is spoken from a linguistic point of view: The word “nature” has two syllables.

  在一个语言性的作品，简单的引号用于帧的含义：字养蜂由拉丁术语了 API的“蜜蜂”和文化宫的培育，教养“。

  In works of a linguistic nature, simple quotes are used to frame the meanings: The word beekeeping is made up of the Latin terms apis ‘bee’ and cultura ‘cultivation, upbringing’.

  引用一篇文章的标题，一首诗，一本书的一章，一份报告，或者一般来说，出版物中的任何依赖部分：我们从加布里埃尔·加西亚·马尔克斯（GabrielGarcíaMárquez）的书“奇怪的朝圣者”中读到了“光是像水”的故事。

  To quote the title of an article, a poem, a chapter of a book, a report or, in general, any dependent part within a publication: We read the story “Light is Like Water” from Gabriel García Márquez’s book Strange Pilgrims.

  如果我们回到写在标志上的内容，并记住这些规则，我们可能会认为，在现实中，没有狗或狗不危险。虽然我们都明白标志是什么意思，作为专业人士，重要的是要有明确的规则，以避免错误和误解。在这种情况下，强调“狗”这个词的最方便的方法是强调它或用粗体写下来。

  To quote the title of an article, a poem, a chapter of a book, a report or, in general, any dependent part within a publication: We read the story “Light is Like Water” from Gabriel García Márquez’s book Strange Pilgrims.
