  People are often uncertain about whether or not to use full stops in abbreviations. Here are some guidelines:

  人们经常不确定到底什么时候要在缩写词后面加个点,什么时候不用。下文是使用规则:

  1. In both British and American English, if you are using initial (i.e. first) letters to represent words, you don’t normally need to put a full stop after them:

  在英国英语和美国英语中,如果缩写是从各单词的首字母得来的,通常无须加点,如:

  BBC(British Broadcasting Corporation 英国广播公司)

  CNN(Cable News Network 美国有线电视新闻网)

  UK(the United Kingdom 联合王国)

  NATO(the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 北大西洋公约组织)

  IAEA(International Atomic Energy Agency 国际原子能机构)

  2. In American English, however, it is common to use a full stop as an alternative style for certain abbreviations, in particular:

  但是,在美国英语中,有些缩写可以加点也可以不加点,如:

  USA or U.S.A.

  US or U.S.

  3. If an abbreviation consists of the first and last letters of a word, you don’t need to use a full stop at the end:

  如果缩写是由首字母和末尾字母组成的,则无须加点,如:

  Mr(Mister 先生)

  Dr(Doctor 医生)

  4. If the abbreviation consists only of the first part of a word, then you should put a full stop at the end:

  如果缩写只是某个单词开头的几个字母组成,则需要加点,如:

  Wed. (Wednesday 周三)

  Dec. (December 十二月)
