對(duì)于非英語(yǔ)母語(yǔ)的中國(guó)科研工作者而言,完成研究項(xiàng)目以后的另一大難題就是:論文寫(xiě)作。 不準(zhǔn)確的措辭、冗長(zhǎng)單調(diào)的句子使得文章黯然失色,精彩的研究亮點(diǎn)也被埋沒(méi)于平淡無(wú)奇的文字當(dāng)中。除了請(qǐng)專業(yè)人士潤(rùn)色外,還可以將詞句表達(dá)替換成更地道、嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)膶?xiě)法。 今天,筆者就把不同寫(xiě)作場(chǎng)景的常用句型分享給大家。 寫(xiě)在前面: 首先,要明確科研論文寫(xiě)作的語(yǔ)言要凝練且直白,論述過(guò)程要短而快,直奔主題。科技文寫(xiě)作應(yīng)言簡(jiǎn)意賅,用簡(jiǎn)短的語(yǔ)句表明豐富的內(nèi)容與深刻的內(nèi)涵,不要長(zhǎng)篇大論地湊字?jǐn)?shù),而是短小精悍。 有些朋友喜歡追求寫(xiě)出英語(yǔ)閱讀一般的「長(zhǎng)難句」,這是一個(gè)誤區(qū),要知道精彩的句子并不意味著長(zhǎng)而拗口,對(duì)于科技文而言「微言大義」才是關(guān)鍵。 那么,下面這兩種寫(xiě)作風(fēng)格,哪個(gè)更適合科技文寫(xiě)作就一目了然了吧? a. Yesterday, my mother bought an apple, which is red, for me. b. My mother bought me a red apple yesterday. 本文索引: 1. 引入研究對(duì)象——切中要害,漸入佳境 2. 描述其他研究不足——舌戰(zhàn)群儒,唯吾獨(dú)尊 3. 闡述研究目的——有的放矢,長(zhǎng)風(fēng)破浪 4. 涵蓋范圍與組織架構(gòu)——張本繼末,達(dá)地知根 5. 文獻(xiàn)綜述——博采眾長(zhǎng),兼聽(tīng)則明 6. 描述樣本信息——追本溯源,真憑實(shí)據(jù) 7. 數(shù)據(jù)分析——鞭辟入里,分毫析厘 8. 討論——慮周藻密,枝葉扶疏 9. 引用他人意見(jiàn)——它山之石,前車(chē)之鑒 10. 關(guān)于語(yǔ)態(tài) * 以 A 和 B 泛指人名,999 泛指數(shù)字,2020 泛指年份,均可根據(jù)實(shí)際需要進(jìn)行替代。 例: (1) Statistical significance was ( ) a) accepted at the 999 level. b) set at P = 999. 主句的括號(hào)中可根據(jù)需要選填 a 句或 b 句,即 Statistical significance was accepted at the 0.05 level. 或 Statistical significance was set at P = 0.05. 1. 引入研究對(duì)象——切中要害,漸入佳境 (1) Recent studies have explored the ( ) a) impact of ____ on ____. b) differences/similarities between ____ and ____.
