对于非英语母语的中国科研工作者而言,完成研究项目以后的另一大难题就是:论文写作

不准确的措辞、冗长单调的句子使得文章黯然失色,精彩的研究亮点也被埋没于平淡无奇的文字当中。除了请专业人士润色外,还可以将词句表达替换成更地道、严谨的写法。

今天,笔者就把不同写作场景的常用句型分享给大家。

Sci写作技巧(超级全的SCI写作句式模板给你准备好了)(1)

写在前面:

首先,要明确科研论文写作的语言要凝练且直白,论述过程要短而快,直奔主题。科技文写作应言简意赅,用简短的语句表明丰富的内容与深刻的内涵,不要长篇大论地凑字数,而是短小精悍。

有些朋友喜欢追求写出英语阅读一般的「长难句」,这是一个误区,要知道精彩的句子并不意味着长而拗口,对于科技文而言「微言大义」才是关键。

那么,下面这两种写作风格,哪个更适合科技文写作就一目了然了吧?

a. Yesterday, my mother bought an apple, which is red, for me.

b. My mother bought me a red apple yesterday.

10. 关于语态

英文写作中会涉及到主动语态(active voice)和被动语态(passive voice),究竟应如何选择语态?

笔者此处将润色编辑、写作指导老师与其他相关材料的建议加以概括:

(1)在论文写作中,两种语态都是正确的;

(2)人文社科往往关注动作发出者,而自然科学通过被动语态将注意力转至动作本身,同时减少使用第一人称;

(3)在动作发出者不够明确时不适合使用被动语态;

(4)过多使用被动语态使句子冗长、文章乏味、缺少活力;

(5)语态选择也受作者本人写作风格、投稿期刊喜好和作者机构写作规范等影响。

本文提供的句式主要起到抛砖引玉的作用,帮助大家写作时进行同义替换,使表达更加丰富、地道,多写多练形成自己的写作风格才是硬道理。
