加快英文文章寫(xiě)作速度的小竅門(mén)小弟不才,迄今才撰寫(xiě)了三篇英文文章,但寫(xiě)作過(guò)程中也積累了一點(diǎn)經(jīng)驗(yàn),不敢敝帚自珍,今天也斗膽向各位蟲(chóng)友貢獻(xiàn)一下。我這幾篇文章,不論內(nèi)容如何,但每次審稿人對(duì)于語(yǔ)言的評(píng)價(jià)都是還不錯(cuò)的,well written,總結(jié)起來(lái)不外有三個(gè)小竅門(mén):一是平時(shí)多積累。我在日常讀文獻(xiàn)的時(shí)候,如果發(fā)現(xiàn)很好的句子句式,都會(huì)記錄在一個(gè)文檔里面,如下面的一段話(huà),就是我在一篇文章的摘要中發(fā)現(xiàn)的:This paper describes the concept of sensor networks which has been made viable by the convergence of microelectromechanical systemstechnology, wireless munications and digital electronics. First, the sensing tasks and the potential sensor networks applications areexplored, and a review of factors influencing the design of sensornetworks is provided. Then, the munication architecture for sensornetworks is outlined, and the algorithms and protocols developed foreach layer in the literature are explored. Open research issues for therealization of sensor networks are also discussed.文章用詞忌重復(fù),中文如此,英文亦然。特別是動(dòng)詞的使用,如在一段話(huà)中出現(xiàn)了幾個(gè)相同的動(dòng)詞,感覺(jué)文章就跌價(jià)不少,而如果用了幾個(gè)意思相近而又貼切的詞,自然就會(huì)增色幾分。如上文中的describe,explore,provide,outline和discuss,就使得文章有了文采,值得學(xué)習(xí)和收藏。堅(jiān)持收集例句,素材多了,自然自己的造句的時(shí)候就有底子了。此外,還要注意,在收集例句的過(guò)程,隨著例句的增多,也需要對(duì)例句進(jìn)行整理和分類(lèi),方便學(xué)習(xí)和檢索。二是注意行文中Transition words的使用。Transitionwords就是在行文過(guò)程中,連接意義相關(guān)句子的詞,如Therefore,thus,inparticular等等。使用這些詞,會(huì)使得文章連貫性好,邏輯性強(qiáng),讀起來(lái)一氣呵成,自然會(huì)給審稿人好印象。下面是一個(gè)關(guān)于Transitionwords的一個(gè)總結(jié),供各位蟲(chóng)友參考:Transitions Study SheetTransitions for time:before, afterward, after, next, then, as soon as, later, until, when,finally, last, meanwhile, during, at times, sometimes, oftentimesExample: WWII broke out in Europe in 1939.
