學(xué)術(shù)文章寫作的注意要點(diǎn)(一)
1、避免使用反問句、設(shè)問句。特別是作者也沒有答案的問題。
例如: Whats the objective of the information? Is it to make people more confused and astray? I partly agree with the authors 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(gè)問題,然后接下來的陳述卻與問題基本毫無干系。作為讀者,首先要考慮那兩個(gè)問題的答案到底是什么,然后才能往下讀。這些在中文里可能會(huì)被評(píng)作引人入勝的好詞好句,在英語的論文寫作里面,可以說是最大的敗筆之一。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(dòng)詞,包括is, are, has been, have been, etc.
即使GRE考題statement里面有很多Be動(dòng)詞,你也要避免照抄,因?yàn)閟tatement是淺顯地告訴你一個(gè)idea,而不是向你展示writing。
