用法
- Many compounds other than those entered here may be formed withmid-. In forming compounds,mid- is normally joined to the following word or element without a space or hyphen:midpoint. However, if the second element begins with a capital letter,it is always separated with a hyphen:mid-May. It is always acceptable to separate the elements with a hyphen to prevent possible confusion with another form, as,for example, to distinguishmid-den (the middle of a den) from the word midden. Note that the adjectivemid 1 is a separate word, though, as is the case with any adjective,it may be joined to another word with a hyphen when used as a unit modifier:in the mid Pacific but a mid-Pacific island.
可以用mid- 组成许多在这里未列出的复合词， 在组成复合词时mid- 后通常紧跟所连词或成分， 中间无需留空或用连字符连接，如midpoint 。 然而，如果第二个成分以大写字母开头，则需连字符，如mid-May 。 用连字符来分开两个成分以免与另一形式的词相混淆在语法上是可以接受的，如用连字符来区分mid-den （房屋中部）和 midden。 应注意形容词mid 1 是一个独立的词， 尽管，象其他形容词一样，当用作一个单位修饰词的时候，可用连字符将它与另一个词相连：在太平洋中部 和 太平洋中部的岛屿
