汉语中的破折号和英语中的dash符号承担着相似的功能，是加强语言逻辑、丰富语言色彩不可或缺的手段，是一个能够辅助文字表达感情的标点符号。因为英语和汉语的语段生成过程不同导致了二者的语序和句子划分有很大差别，所以在英汉翻译时对待标点符号也要像对待文字那样用心。虽然汉语中破折号和英语中dash的功能相似，但两个符号使用频率差别很大，因此在翻译时绝不可照搬照移。破折号的应用与否应根据其功能和语言内容决定，力求将源语言准确转达、地道表述。%Dash has similar functions that adds logic to language and enriches ways of expressions both in English and Chinese, and it is a major punctuation for aiding words to show feelings. Because of different language segment generations, there are many disparities between English and Chinese in the order and segment of sentence, therefore punctuations should be treated as carefully as words in translation. Even though dashes in the two languages have alike functions, the use frequencies of dashes are quite distinct, so they can not be copied from one to the other one. The application of dash in the target text is decided by its concrete usage and source text to achieve translating text precisely and expressing them idiomatically.
