首先所有的标点符号之前都不用空格，但是之后都要有一个空格，然后才能再写内容。
shǒuxiān suǒyǒu de biāodiǎn fúhào zhīqián dōu bùyòng kònggé ，dànshì zhīhòu dōuyào yǒu yī gè kònggé ，ránhòu cáinéng zài xiě nèiróng 。
First of all, before all of the punctuation marks, you don't need to have a space. However, you have to have a space after them. Only then can you begin to write again.

另外，书名号和顿号也是中国特有的标点符号，英语中根本不存在。
lìngwài ，shūmínghào hé dùnhào yě shì Zhōngguó tèyǒu de biāodiǎn fúhào ，yīngyǔ zhōng gēnběn bù cúnzài 。
Also, title marks and serial commas are special Chinese punctuation marks. They simply don't exist in English.
