与大家久违的SCI英文写作高频词汇系列终于又回归啦！今天给大家带来100 动词替换词，让论文远离枯燥，鲜活生动！
当你写英语论文的时候，有没有觉得自己的写作风格很low，有没有觉得自己的写作语言很Chinglish?虽然学术论文的写作风格比较保守，但是这不意味文章应该写得很枯燥。枯燥的写作会使得读者在刚开始阅读就失去了继续阅读的兴趣。
现在的学术论文发表不仅仅是科研成果的比拼，更是英语写作能力的比拼。优秀的英语写作可以提高论文发表的几率。英语写作涉及内容有很多，这篇文章会向大家介绍SCI论文中常用的一些动词和相应的替换词，让你的SCI论文写作“高大上”。
和中文一样，英语也有同义词。使用一些同义词，可以更有力、更生动地重新表达整个句子。如果你经常使用主动语态而不是被动语态，你会发现这个任务更容易完成。在使用同义词库来识别同义词时要小心，确保同义词符合语境。为了帮助大家在学术论文中建立一个强大的常用短语库，我们列出了英文论文写作时可以考虑的同义词列表。虽然我们不建议完全摒弃原来的短语，但我们建议在这些短语中穿插一些推荐的替换短语，使你的论文更加生动。
根据写作内容和表达含义，这些同义短语可以分为6组：描述当前研究、概括研究背景、描述研究要素、讨论实验结果、说明实验方法、解释研究影响。
