3. 如果直接引用所涉及到的作者有多位，除遵守以上1、2两条外，其他规则与间接引用相同。


4. 直接引文的字数如果多于50英文单词或4行，引文应单独成段，段落用“齐头式”， 整个段落左边缩进4个英语字母的位置，字号缩小为5号。引文之后加夹注，这时引文的句号应置于夹注的括号之前。引文不需引号，如引文中已有引号，保留原来的引号。


例：At the conclusion of Lord of the Flies, Ralph and the other boys realize the horror of their actions:

The tears began to flow and sobs shook him. He gave himself up to them now for the first

time on the island; great, shuddering spasms of grief that seemed to wrench his whole body. His voice rose under the black smoke before the burning wreckage of the island; and infected by that emotion, the other little boys began to shake and sob too. (Golding, 2008:186)



三、转引(the quotation from a source other than the original)


如果你的引用不是从原著中获得，而是来自二手资料，你就需要在引用完后用圆括号注明来源，在来源前加上“qtd. in”的字样。在参考文献目录部分，你就按引用的实际出处撰写条目。


例：Gothe wrote that“it takes more culture to perceive the virtues of The Magic Flute than to point out its defects”(qtd. in Newman, 1958: 104).
