Citatione.g.1

“xxx”(writerpage)

用雙引號(hào)；第一次原著引用。

新批評(píng)學(xué)者強(qiáng)調(diào)詩(shī)作為本體的存在，是封閉孤立、自給自足的客觀物，一首詩(shī)如同一個(gè)“語(yǔ)像”、“一幅程式化的畫卷”，或者像一只“精致的翁”，“有重量，有體積，也有界定的邊界”(Vendler4)。

Citatione.g.2

“xxx”(89)用雙引號(hào)；第二次引用只需頁(yè)碼[一般來(lái)說(shuō)，引用原文4行及以上要另起一段，左邊縮進(jìn)10個(gè)字母，除對(duì)話外，不用雙引號(hào)。]ThefollowingaresomequotationsfromoneofBacon’sfamousessays:
