“ ” 呢兩個符號係咪英文用?中文唔係用呢兩個?“ ”= 引號 (Quotation mark) 是英文用的。“ = open quotation mark ”= close quotation mark中文用的說話引號是「」。「 = 開引號 」= 關引號Quotation marks are punctuation marks used in pairs to set off speech, a quotation, a phrase, or a word (用來標示說話、引語、專有名詞,或特別用意的詞句。). They come as a pair of opening and closing marks in either of two styles: single (‘…’) or double (“…”).英式英文傳統先用單引號,再用雙引號;美式英文先用雙引號,再用單引號,例子:‘Good morning, Gagan,’ greeted HAL.(英式英文)“Good morning, Gagan,” greeted HAL.(美式英文)引號中再用引號:‘HAL said, “Good morning, Dave,” ’ recalled Frank.(英式英文)“HAL said, ‘Good morning, Dave,’ ” recalled Frank.(美式英文)

多謝susanlau知識長的意見,我上網找到一些補充如下:
關於引號的用法,中國大陸的出版書籍,現今都通用橫向的排版方式,有留意到他們都已經不用「」這個引號了嗎?取而代之用上「“”」這類型的引號,而雙引號就用「‘’」。至於香港的書籍,近年亦有直排書籍用「」,而橫排書籍用“”的趨向。
