學術文章寫作注意要點(一)
1、避免使用反問句、設問句。特別是作者也沒有答案的問題。
例如: What's the objective of the information? Is it to make people more confused and astray? I partly agree with the author's contention that the enormous and otiose information sometimes render people lose their way and fail to consider question penetratingly and originally.
在作文的開頭就扔出兩個問題,然後接下來的陳述卻與問題基本毫無乾系。作爲讀者,首先要考慮那兩個問題的答案到底是什麽,然後才能往下讀。這些在中文裡可能會被評作“引人入勝”的好詞好句,在英語的論文寫作裡麪,可以說是的敗筆之一。如果你一定要問問題的話,那就改成陳述句式,例如:Whether this issue is right or wrong? 可以改成:It has been a controversial issue that……
2、避免集中使用"Be"動詞,包括is, are, has been, have been, etc.
即使GRE考題statement裡麪有很多"Be"動詞,你也要避免照抄,因爲statement是淺顯地告訴你一個idea,而不是曏你展示writing。
