APA中的區塊引述格式 / Block Quotations in APA Style

如果論文裡會引述文字超過了40個字，那通常會以區塊引述(block quotation)的形式來表現。在APA的規範中，區塊引述的樣式是左側縮排2個字。若區塊引述中有超過一個以上的段落，則第二個之後的段落開頭需要再縮排兩個字。

If a quotation in a paper exceeds 40 words, it is usually presented as a block quotation. In APA style, a block quotation is indented 0.5 inch from the left margin. If the block quotation has more than one paragraph, the first line of each subsequent paragraph should be indented an additional 0.5 inch.
