Direct citation指逐字逐句地复制直接取自另一位作者的作品，或你自己以前发表的作品。那么ApA 7th如何进行直接引用呢？方法如下：

一、引用方法概述

1、如果引语少于40个单词，将其纳入你的段落，并用双引号括起来。

David Copperfield starts with "Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life,or whether that station will be held by anybody else,these pages must show" (Dickens,1869,p. 1).

2、如果引文有40个或更多单词，请将其放在缩进的独立文本块中，不带引号。双倍行距。

二、引用方法详解

1、文本内直接引用的格式

注明作者、年份和引用的具体页码。对于没有页码的材料，给出段落编号或时间戳。参考文献列表中应包含完整的参考文献。示例：

(Smith,2003,p. 105)

(Brown,1999,pp. 49-50)

Smith (2003) has argued that "......" (p. 105)

As Brown (1999) found "......" (pp. 49-50)

(Anderson,2019,2:17)

Anderson (2019) noted that "...." (2:17)

2、文本内直接引用的位置

(1)少于40个单词的直接引语

parenthetical reference：可以直接加在引号后，或是加在句尾。确保这句话与引用的是同一句话。

Mindfulness has a range of meanings as it "has become a trend word conveying a diversity of understandings dependent on context" (Crane,2017,p. 586).

Mindfulness has a range of meanings as it "has become a trend word conveying a diversity of understandings dependent on context" (Crane,2017,p. 586) and can encompass...

Narrative reference：句子中加上作者，然后在括号中加上年份。然后在引号后的括号中写明页码。

As Crane (2017) said,"Mindfulness has become a trend word conveying a diversity of understandings dependent on context" (p. 586).

As Crane (2017) said,"Mindfulness has become a trend word conveying a diversity of understandings dependent on context" (p. 586) and can encompass....

(2)超过40个单词的直接引语

parenthetical reference：加在句尾。示例同上图。

Narrative reference：句子中加上作者的姓氏，然后在括号中加上年份，放在引号之前。最后将页码加在括号中，放在整行引用的末尾。
