括号

1在引语中插入你自己选用的单词时，该单词使用括号。

Incorrect:Theprofessorsaidthat\"FrankfrterevolvedfromliberaltoconservativewhileontheSpremeCort(and)Blackmnevolvedfromconservativetoliberal.\"

Correct:Theprofessorsaidthat\"FrankfrterevolvedfromliberaltoconservativewhileontheSpremeCort[and]Blackmnevolvedfromconservativetoliberal.\"

2为表示你在引语中改变了一个单词的一部分时，该部分使用括号。此类情形通常发生在为合并引语和你自己的句子时，要把大写字母变小写字母，反之亦然。

引语:

\"Excessivebailshallnotbereqired,norexcessivefinesimposed,norcrelandnsalpnishmentsinflicted.\"U.S.Const.amend.VIII.

不正确合并:

TheEighthAmendmentprovidesthat\"Excessivebailshallnotbereqired,norexcessivefinesimposed,norcrelandnsalpnishmentsinflicted.\"U.S.Const.amend.VIII.

正确合并:

TheEighthAmendmentprovidesthat\"[e]xcessivebailshallnotbereqired,norexcessivefinesimposed,norcrelandnsalpnishmentsinflicted.\"U.S.Const.amend.VIII.
