童鞋们看了几期的科研论文英语学习有没有开始觉得英语没那么可怕?还会焦虑的同学不如先看看下面的笑话:

A:What’s on your hand?

B:Watch.

A:How to spell that?

B:T-H-A-T


大家有没有觉得冬天更冷了,还是笑得暖和一点了呢☺

其实和汉语一样,英语作为一种语言,学习它需要大量地阅读、写作、听力和口语训练,将自己置身于一个英语环境中,提高自己的听、说、写、读能力,培养好语感。那么写英语的论文呢也是和写汉语论文一样的,无非就是:1. 使用一些专业的词;2. 用这些词造句子;3. 把句子拼成文章。可以看出这其中一个重要的组成就是句子,句子有简单句和从句之分,今天我们就来说说科研论文中句子的写法。


中学英语告诉过我们,简单句就是只有主谓宾的句子;从句有定语从句(修饰一个名词),宾语从句(从句前是谓语),表语从句(从句前是be动词),状语从句(两个完整句子用一个连接词连接,中间要有逗号),还有同位语从句等等。当有这么多种句式可供选择时,我们该如何写一句话呢?请大家先看看下面的句子:


XXX, a subgroup of XXXs of more than 333 amino acids in length, have emerged as a new aspect of biology with evidence suggesting they are frequently cell-specific, contributing important functions to numerous systems and may interact with various known regulators that involved in xxx disease.


这确实是一句语法没错的句子,但是基本上看到后面已经忘了前半句什么意思了,因此,即使你造句水平高超到可以写出超长的从句,但这并不是表达的最好方法,我们写作是为了让读者看懂。所以说,老师这里建议大家,如果不能灵活掌握从句的写法,还是尽量写简单句的好。比如把上述句子拆成几句话来写,用来解释XXX的结构和功能,不就好懂多了吗?


  • XXX is a subgroup of XXXs of more than 333 amino acids in length.

  • It has emerged as a new aspect of biology with evidence suggesting they are frequently cell-specific.

  • XXX contribute important functions to numerous systems, including interacting with xxx regulator in xxx disease.

那么是不是永远使用简单句,不能使用从句呢?当然不是,我建议大家学习写简单的从句,比如下面几个从句(主要都是宾语从句)是可以随便用的,只要注意描述结果用动词过去式,总结结论用一般现在时就行:


  • we found that ...

  • these results indicate that ...

  • our study suggest that ...

  • we next asked whether ...


还有一些定语或者状语前置的句子写法,也是很好掌握,而且不容易写错的复杂句用法,例如:


  • To explore the role of ... in xxx condition, we did ... experiment.

  • Having shown ... phenomenon, we next studied ...

  • To test this hypothesis, we treat the subjects with ...

  • To further determine ..., we did ...

  • To evaluate the effect of ..., we did ...

  • Given the recent finding that ..., we did ...

总之,我们在论文中使用简单句或者从句的表达方式,都是为了让我们的文章表达的更加清楚明白。有了这一原则,在写任何文章的时候不用担心,只需要把写好的文章给能看懂英语的人读一下,能被看懂的,永远都是好文章。最后,希望大家不要再害怕英语写作,平常心对待,写文章就像“spell that”那么简单,祝大家天天开心!
