寫(xiě)英文簡(jiǎn)歷的建議和注意事項(xiàng)
英文語(yǔ)法和句式上的問(wèn)題略過(guò)，那屬于英文寫(xiě)作。這里只說(shuō)文字設(shè)計(jì)(typography)，雖然高級(jí)的文字設(shè)計(jì)和內(nèi)容從來(lái)密不可分。
簡(jiǎn)歷是大多數(shù)人實(shí)踐文字設(shè)計(jì)的最常見(jiàn)載體。人人都希望簡(jiǎn)歷給人留下好印象，因此或多或少會(huì)告誡自己「注意排版」。問(wèn)題在于具體注意些什麼。以下十條是最基本的規(guī)則，若能做到，你的英文簡(jiǎn)歷已經(jīng)比 90% 的中國(guó)人(包括英文系學(xué)生)的規(guī)范美觀了。
一、標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)一律使用半角。
二、逗號(hào)、句號(hào)、分號(hào)、冒號(hào)、感歎號(hào)、問(wèn)號(hào)和它們后面的`字符之間必須留一個(gè)半角空格。
錯(cuò) 誤：Hi,I'm an entrepreneur.Can you make this app for me for free?Because,you know,I have this brilliant idea but I don't know how to code.
正確：Hi, I'm an entrepreneur. Can you make this app for me for free? Because, you know, I have this brilliant idea but I don't know how to code.
三、逗號(hào)、句號(hào)、分號(hào)、冒號(hào)、感歎號(hào)、問(wèn)號(hào)和它們前面的字符之間不可留任何空格。
錯(cuò)誤：I think our current version is too skeuomorphic ,why don't we ,uh ,make it flatter so that it looks more metro-ish?
正確：I think our current version is too skeuomorphic, why don't we, uh, make it flatter so that it looks more metro-ish?
四、將長(zhǎng)串?dāng)?shù)字分開(kāi)寫(xiě)，降低辨識(shí)的難度。
錯(cuò)誤：13927396856
正確：139 2739 6856 或 139-2739-6856
五、書(shū)名、雜志名、電影名、音樂(lè)專輯名、英文中出現(xiàn)的外文(包括拼音，人名除外)用斜體。
錯(cuò)誤：In 2008, I created this amazing service during my internship at Playboy which is totally LBS avant la lettre.
正確：In 2008, I created this amazing service during my internship at Playboywhich is totally LBS avant la lettre.
六、對(duì)于電話區(qū)號(hào)應(yīng)用不同的符號(hào)區(qū)分。
錯(cuò)誤：+86-139-2739-6856
正確：(86) 139 2739 6856 或 (86) 139-2739-6856
七、對(duì)于有序列表，應(yīng)採(cǎi)用「阿拉伯?dāng)?shù)字 + 英文句點(diǎn) + 半角空格」的方式。
錯(cuò)誤：
Three words I hate:
1.Innovation.
2, Leverage.
3 Synergy.
正確：
Three words I hate:
1. Innovation.
2. Leverage.
3. Synergy.
八、括號(hào)弧線外要留空格，弧線內(nèi)不要。
錯(cuò)誤：Byte Press(née Tangcha ) is the best Chinese-language eBook app. Period.
正確：Byte Press (née Tangcha) is the best Chinese-language eBook app. Period.
但同一個(gè)單詞內(nèi)的括號(hào)例外：
錯(cuò)誤：After the linguistic turn, people are getting addicted to pretentious bracketed words such as ‘(ex) plain (ed)’.
正確：After the linguistic turn, people are getting addicted to pretentious bracketed words such as ‘(ex)plain(ed)’.
九、用彎引號(hào)，不要用直(的彎)引號(hào)。
錯(cuò)誤："Bazinga!" 'You are pwned!'
正確：“Bazinga!” ‘You are pwned!’
十、正確使用各種短橫：em dash (—) 是破折號(hào)，en dash (–) 用來(lái)連接年份、時(shí)間，是「到」的意思，hyphen (-) 是連字符。
錯(cuò) 誤：Glenn Gould (1932-1982) is probably my one and only hero - the person who taught me to think differently well before Steve Jobs.
正 確：Glenn Gould (1932–1982) is probably my one and only hero — the person who taught me to think differently well before Steve Jobs.
注意：
1. 若寫(xiě)作時(shí)用兩個(gè) hyphen (--) 代替破折號(hào)，Word 等文書(shū)處理軟件會(huì)自動(dòng)將其轉(zhuǎn)爲(wèi) em dash。有鑑于 em dash 輸入不便(Mac 上是 shift + option + -)，這也是英文寫(xiě)作通用的替代法。
2. 破折號(hào)(em dash)兩端可各留一半角空格，亦可不留。此乃英美習(xí)慣之不同，無(wú)對(duì)錯(cuò)之分。惟請(qǐng)?jiān)谕环莺?jiǎn)歷中保持統(tǒng)一。
