Creating An MLA Reference Guide 创建MLA格式文档

In this project you will create an MLA reference guide that shows some of the most important MLA document requirements. Keep in mind that MLA has many different rules and regulations, and new regulations are being added every year. Since it will not be possible for us to review every rule in MLA in this course, we will focus on some of the biggest and most important rules.

在本项目中将创建一个MLA格式文档。MLA格式有许多不同的规则和条例,每年都会增加新的条例。在这里我们将着重关注其最重要的几个要点。

NOTE: Keep in mind that since there are many regulations in MLA you should always check with your teacher about any specific requirements they have for their projects.
注意:由于MLA有许多规定,务必记住咨询老师项目的具体要求。

The key aspects that we will focus on are: Formatting a document correctly using project “headers”, “leaders”, “titles”, “body paragraphs”, and “footers”. We will also review regulations relating to the proper use of information that has been found during the research stages of your project. This will include reviewing the differences between “COPYING”, which is not allowed, “quoting”, and “paraphrasing” information in your project. 

重点关注的几个方面是“页眉”、“标题”、“正文段落”和“页脚”的正确格式。还包括在搜索文献时怎么正确引用文献的格式,正确区分“复制”、“引用”和“释义”之间的差异。

NOTE: DO NOT PLAGIARIZE. Although you need to support your projects with creditable facts, there is a difference between stealing someone else’s ideas, and using these ideas to support your own ideas in your project. 

注意:千万不要抄袭。虽然你需要用可信的事实来支持你的项目,但窃取别人的想法和正确引用这些想法是有区别的。

RESEARCH IS ALWAYS REQUIRED BUT PLAGIARISM IS NEVER TOLERATED!
搜索文献是需要的但剽窃是绝不能容忍的!

Think about this: What is the difference between including a “short quote”, and an “extended excerpt” or “passage” in your project? How might we be required to format these differently in a document using MLA regulations? 

思考:在项目中插入“简短引语”和“扩展摘录”或“文章”有什么区别?如何正确引用MLA格式?
