書名號
simp书名号syu1 ming4 hou6shū míng hào
English
- Chinese guillemet 《》(punct. used for names of books etc)
- a punctuation mark in Chinese used to notate titles of textual and artistic works, in forms of angle quotation marks (guillemets) or a wavy underline; literally: book title mark
粵語 — Cantonese
- 一種標點符號,用嚟注明文字及藝術作品嘅標題;以前係用波浪線(﹏或 ︴)畫喺書名下側(橫排)或左側(直排),但因為排版、電腦輸入等等嘅不便,而家已經轉用角形引號,即係雙書名號(橫排:《》;直排:︽︾)同單書名號(橫排:〈〉;直排:︿﹀)
Examples
我講緊嘅《孔子》係一本書,唔係人,要加返書名號俾佢。 (ngo5 gong2 gan2 ge3 "hung2 zi2" hai6 jat1 bun2 syu1, m4 hai6 jan4, jiu3 gaa1 faan1 syu1 ming4 hou6 bei2 keoi5.)
The Confucius I'm talking about is a book, not a person. Title marks should be added to it.
