英語中是沒有書名號的。如果用括號標註書籍和電影的英文原名時，應該用斜體表示，比如：

如果是手寫體，則在英文原名下劃橫線表示是書籍或者電影。

英文中的書名通常是斜體或加引號表示或者大寫就可以，因為斜體有時候看著不整齊，譯文中文需要加上書名號，書名第一次出現，需要括號加註原英文名（人名也這樣處理）。

在CATTI三級筆譯和二級筆譯真題英譯漢講解裡面，我們碰到了很多標點符號的翻譯。比如2016年11月英語三級筆譯實務試題原文：Harper Lee was an ordinary woman as stunned as anybody by the extraordinary success of “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

裡面的雙引號。“To Kill a Mockingbird”，英文中的書名通常是斜體或加引號表示或者大寫就可以，因為斜體有時候看著不整齊，譯文中文需要加上書名號，書名第一次出現，需要括號加註原英文名（人名也這樣處理）。

還比如14年11月CATTI二級筆譯英譯漢真題原文：WATERLOO, Belgium --- The region around this Belgian city is busily preparing to commemorate the 200th anniversary in 2015 of one of the major battles in European military history.

裡面的逗號和破折號。WATERLOO, Belgium比利時滑鐵盧：這裡考察英語地名從小到大，而且加個逗號，漢語裡面是從大到小，不加逗號，比如Shanghai, China翻譯為中國上海。這是CATTI英譯漢高頻翻譯細節，可是我今天看了大家提交的譯文，基本都這樣寫的：

我們高齋翻譯學堂年會員裡面也經常講這個細節，今天就給大家分享下陸谷孫前輩《英漢大詞典》裡面有關標點符號的說明，過段時間再給大家分享漢語標點符號使用規則和更詳細的英文標點符號使用規則講解。
