Notes and Bibliography(注解和参考文献)The Bibliography lists the articles or books you have used as references. 1. Notes In MLA documentation style, you acknowledge your sources by keying brief parenthetical citations in your text to an alphabetical list of works (Bibliography) at the end of the paper. The parenthetical citation that concludes the following sentence is typical of MLA style. e.g. Ancient writers attributed the invention of the monochord to Pythagoras, who lived in the sixth century BC (Marcuse 197).The citation “(Marcuse 197)” tells readers that the information in the sentence was derived from page 197 of a work by an author named Marcuse. If readers want more information about this source, they can turn to the Bibliography page, where under the name of Marcuse, they would find the following information.Marcuse, Sibyl. A Survey of Musical Instruments. New York: Harper, 1975.The parenthetical citation works like this:(1) Mention your source (authors last name and page number) within the text of your paper I parentheses, like this:e.g. One of the great all-time best sellers, Uncle Toms Cabin, sold over 300,000 copies in America and more than 2 million copies world-wide (Wilson 3).(2) If you are quoting directly or if want to stress the authority of the source you are paraphrasing, you may mention the name of the source in your sentence. Then include just the page number (or numbers) at the end in parentheses, like this:e.g. In Patriotic Gore, Edmund Wilson tells us that Mrs. Stowe felt “the book had been written by God” (5).(3) If you must quote indirectly something quoted from another source not available to you indicate this in your parenthetical reference by using qtd. in (for quoted in). The following example comes from a book written by Donald Johanson and Maitland Edey:e.g. Richard Leakeys wife, Maeve, told the pale anthropologist David Johanson, We heard all about your bones on the radio last night (qtd. in Johanson and Edey 162 ).(4) If you are using a source written or edited by more than three people, use only the name of the first person listed, followed by et al. (meaning and others):e.g. Blair et al. observe that the fine arts were almost ignored by colonial writers (21). It is observed that the fine arts were almost ignored by colonial writers (Blair et al. 21). (5) If you refer to more than one work by the same author, include a shortened title in the citation in your text like: e.g. It is noticed primary school pupils often make this mistake (Gould, Mismeasured 138).(6) If the authors name is not given, then use a shortened title instead. In your abbreviation, be sure to use at least the first word of the full title to send the reader to the proper alphabetized entry on your Bibliography page. The following is a reference to a newspaper article entitled Ramifications of Baboon Use Expected to Become, an Issue: e.g. The doctor observed that some people objected to the transplant on grounds that were emotional rather than rational (Ramifications A23).(7) If you are quoting more than four typed lines, you should indent the quotation 5 spaces on both sides and omit the quotation marks. Cite the page number in parentheses two spaces after the period: e.g. About Nora in Ibsens A Dolls House, Liv Ullman writes,She says goodbye to everything that is familiar and secure. She does not walk through the door to find somebody else to live with and for; she is leaving the house more insecure than she ever realized she could be. But she hopes to find out who she is and why she is. She is facing with the problem of finding out her own identity. (263)2.
