句号、感叹号、问号后需要停顿就一些,句子完全结束

The Facebook founder had apologised many times already,/ to users and the public,/ but this was the first time in his career that he had gone before Congress.//
※ / 代表短停顿; // 代表长停顿
2
连接词之前停顿
连接词包括and, but, or, if, when, though, because, as
因为连接词着代表前后两个句子的关系,一般常见的是对等、转折和因果。
为了让听话人很好的理解自己想要表达的意思,在连接词的前方会稍作停顿

介词之前停顿
常见介词包括of, at、on、under、in、with、up、down、over
介词表示的关系最常见的是所属、方位、时间和方向
在介词前需要短暂停顿
