Sometimes it is necessary to divide a ord at the end of the line because there is not enough space for the pletion of the ord.
我们书写英文的时候，会遇到这种情况写到一行，有个好像，哎，只能写一半了，再写就写到纸张外面去了，没有足够的空写完整个了，只能折到下一行。
These days many puter programs automatically take care of this problem for you. Hoever, if you are using a typeriter or handriting on stationary it is useful to kno these rules.
如果是在电脑上打字，英文折行，office办公软件会自动帮你处理好这个问题。但如果手写英文，如何处理英文的折行，你需要知道以下规则
In order to divide a ord add a hyphen (-) typed ithout a space immediately after the first part of the divided ord at the end of the line.
通常，把做分行处理时，加上一个连字符（不带空格）。在哪里加呢？的第一部分之后，比如下面这个例子

RULES FOR DIVIDING WORDS
切分原则
Here are the most important rules to follo hen dividing a ord
切分时，请遵循以下重要原则
By syllable: Divide the ord by syllables or units of sound. For example, important, im-por-tant - 'important' has three syllables; thinking, think-ing - 'thinking' has to syllables
按音节切分。切分时以音节或音素组合为单位切分。比如important, im-por-tant - 因为important这个有3个音节。thinking, think-ing - 'thinking' 有两个音节。
By structure: Divide the ord into the smaller units of meaning from hich the ord is constructed. It may have a beginning (a prefix) such as un-, dis-, im-, etc., (im-portant, dis-interested) or an ending (a suffix) such as -able, -fully, (as in desirable, desir-able).
按结构切分。按照组成的最小意义单位（词根）来划分。一个可能有前缀（如un-, dis-, im-, 等，im-portant, dis-interested）、后缀（如-able，-fully, 如desirable中的desire-able。
By meaning: Decide ho each part of the divided ord is best understood in order that the ord is easily recognized from the to parts. For example, pound ords such as houseboat made up of to ords bined to make a single ord, house-boat.
按意义切分。切分前，看看怎么切分，每部分能理解起来最容易。比如一些组合词，houseboat由两个具有独立意义的组成，house和boat。
Here are six further rules to help you decide hen and ho to divide ords.
