1、英语科学论文写作分类句式用语英语科学论文写作:分类句式用语标 签 论文写作2009/12/5 ReadWiki 发布 文档 分类 评论 0 浏览 23 作者:胡庚申 申云桢(清华大学外语系,北京 100084)一、引 言科学论文的写作在常用句型、用语方面有一定的规律可循。掌握这些基本规律,写作论文时可收到事半功倍的效果。那么,常用的句型、句式怎样分类比较科学?通常用到的句式为哪些类型?各种类型又有哪些基本表达方法? 所有这些问题,都拟在本文内例述和研讨。为什么要掌握分类句式用语呢?1.有利于避免不必要的重复。许多有用的句型,通常出现在科学论文的不同部分,如表示研究目的用语,不仅在论文摘要中用到
2、,而且在引言、讨论、甚至结论等部分都会用到。如果我们在讲述怎样写作各部分时都列举类似的用语,势必造成重复、赘述。现在把它们集中起来分类例述,就能避免不必要的重复。 2.掌握分类句式用语有利于比较地道、规范的英语表达。把英美人写作论文时的句式用语集中地进行分类选择,有利于广大专业技术人员和研究生们学习、模仿比较地道、规范的英语表达,有利于节约时间,避免费力耗时地造出“蹩脚的”、甚至“中国式”的英语表达。 3.掌握分类句式用语有利于写作中的多样化表达。把表达相同或相似概念的不同表达方式集中分类,便于写作中选择、比较,有利于交替使用不同的句型,避免句式单调、用词单一,实现表达多样。 4.掌握分类句式
3、用语也符合科学论文的写作规律。因为常用的句型是写作中客观存在的,它们的使用已基本上格式化,而且使用的频率又很高,所以对常用的句式用语进行科学的分类,是一件有实用意义的工作。 至于怎样分类,这主要是从两个方面考虑。1.从逻辑思维角度考虑。人们总是首先提出问题,然后分析和解决问题,最后得出结果或结论。这可以看作是解决问题的一种“模式”。这种“模式”,也可作为我们分类选择句式用语时的指导思想。 2.从写作程式角度考虑。任何一篇科学论文的写作,大都要:指出其研究的目的,限定其讨论的范围,说明其理论的依据,描述其实验的步骤,介绍其工作的方法,展示其研究的结果,作出科学的评价等。这种基本“程式”,正是我们
4、分类选择句式用语的实践依据。 鉴于上述,我们在本文内对科学论文写作中常用的句式用语进行了分类,并选择了240余条例句供参考。 俗语说:“熟读唐诗三百首,不会作诗也会吟”。我们深信,掌握英语科学论文写作中常用的句式用语,无疑会有助于科学论文的写作。二、“指出目的”的句式用语主要用场指出研究目的句型在英语科学论文中反复出现,这类句型用语比较集中地使用在论文的摘要、引言、讨论、结论等部分。指出研究目的的常用表达有:“本文的主要目的”,“该项工作主要是关于”,“该项工作的主要目的是”,“该项研究的主要目的是”,“该项实验主要是为了”等等。常用句式(1)本文的主要目的是 1.The purpose of
