答案：
英文中的印刷体用斜体字表示书籍、报刊、戏剧、电影、绘画作品等的名称,在书写体或打字机打的文本中用字下线表示斜体字;英文常用逗号来代替冒号;而句号是用实心小黑点表示。
故以上两句应改为:
〔修改〕1. While she is reading Gone With the Wind , I am cooking. (印刷体) 或While sheis reading Gone With the Wind , I am cooking. (书写体) 〔修改〕2. My sister
bought a lot of fruits for me , such as banana , orange , apple and pear. 还有,英文中的省略号其实是三个句号的并列,许多学生由于受中文影响常错误地把英文省略号写成六点。
以上两例中的冒号在英文中需用逗点表示。
汉语中的冒号还可用在“如次“如下“例如“像等引起下文的提示语后边。
在英文表达中,“for example”(例如) 一类的词后常用逗点代替冒号。
