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.

你说的是平假名和片假名吧，那是日语的注音符号。在日语中，同一个发音对应着平假名和片假名两种写法。平假名是从汉字的草书演化过来的，用于一般的书写。片假名源于汉字的偏旁部首，主要是用来表示外来语或强调的。

You're talking about hiragana and katakana. They're the phonetic writing system of Japanese. In Japanese, the same sounds correspond to both the written forms of hiragana and of katakana. Hiragana evolved from the grass script form of Chinese characters, and are used in typical writing. Katakana originated from the radicals of Chinese characters, and is mainly used to express foreign loanwords or emphasis.

日语里不是有很多汉字吗，我们中国人自己琢磨琢磨就明白了。不过，除了汉字，还有些怪怪的符号。那是什么呀？

rìyǔ lǐ bù shì yǒu hěn duō hànzì ma ，wǒmen zhōngguórén zìjǐ zuómo zuómo jiù míngbai le 。bùguò ，chúle hànzì ，hái yǒuxiē guàiguài de fúhào 。nà shì shénme yā ？

Doesn't Japanese have lots of Chinese characters? We Chinese can just put some thought into it and then we'll get it. But besides Chinese characters there are also some weird symbols. What are those?

您所说的符号价值是不是指“酷”、“爽”、“in”这些时尚潮流元素？

我觉得主要还是一个词-个性。“80后”非常注重自己的感受，他们说话的时候都有一个特点，就是喜欢以“我......”开始。买东西的时候也是，只要是我喜欢的，就是最好的，多便宜都没关系，再贵也要买，关键是要符合自己的个性。可以说，他们的消费是感性大于理性的，有时候商品所附带的符号价值已经超过了商品本身的使用价值。
