| 释义 | 〔hyphen〕A punctuation mark ( - ) used between the parts of a compound word or name or between the syllables of a word, especially when divided at the end of a line of text.连字号：用于一个合成词的两部分之间的或一个单词的字节之间的一种标点符号，尤其是一行或一段结束时用〔hyphenated〕Having a hyphen:有连字号连接：〔hyphenated〕a hyphenated adjective.以连字号接的形容词〔hyphenate〕To divide or connect (syllables, word elements, or names) with a hyphen.以连字号连接：用连字号分离或连接（音节、词素或名字）〔hyphenated〕Naturalized immigrants to the United States and their descendants have sometimes been termedhyphenated Americans in reference to the tendency to hyphenate such ethnic compounds as Irish-American and Polish-American. This term has come under strong criticism as suggesting that those so designated are not as fully American as "unhyphenated" citizens, and it is best avoided in all but historical contexts. 归化美国的移民及其后代子孙有时会以hyphenated Americans 的措词称呼，这与使用连字号的趋势有关，例如像 Irish-American（爱尔兰裔美国人） 和 Polish-American（波兰裔美国人） 之类的种族复合字。这种词汇遭到许多批评，指出这些被指定的名称似乎并不如"unhyphenated（未用连字号）”的公民一般为完全的美国人，也因此应尽量避免于历史文章之外使用此类字 |
