科技論文讀起來往往晦澀難懂,這主要是因為科學(xué)的嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)性,已經(jīng)數(shù)據(jù)和分析的復(fù)雜性和專業(yè)性,但是所有科技論文作者的目標(biāo)就是要讓讀者理解其表達(dá)的意思,這就需要作者有一定的清晰寫作邏輯及修辭上的一些非常有效的方式。如何以清晰簡明又不失重點的科學(xué)寫作?來自美國杜克大學(xué)英文寫作中心主任George D. Gopen及生物化學(xué)博士Judith A. Swan 的經(jīng)典文章《The Science of Scientific Writing》將為作者指點迷津,全篇內(nèi)容豐富,適合作者反復(fù)閱讀,是科技論文寫作指導(dǎo)文章中的必讀之作,查爾斯沃思為大家開辟下載完整正版通道,希望對作者的英文科技論文寫作有啟發(fā)有幫助。

  • Writing with the Reader in Mind: Expectation and Context
  • Reader Expectations for the Structure of Prose
  • Information is interpreted more easily and more uniformly if it is placed where most readers expect to find it.
  • Beginning with the exciting material and ending with a lack of luster often leaves us disappointed and destroys our sense of momentum.
  • We cannot succeed in making even a single sentence mean one and only one thing; we can only increase the odds that a large majority of readers will tend to interpret our discourse according to our intentions.

  • The information that begins a sentence establishes for the reader a perspective for viewing the sentence as a unit.
  • In our experience, the misplacement of old and new information turns out to be he No.1 problem in American professional writing today.
  • Put in the topic position the old information that links backward; put in the stress position the new information you want the reader to emphasize.
  • As critical scientific readers, we would like to concentrate our energy on whether the experiments prove the hypotheses.
  • It may seem obvious that a scientific document is incomplete without the interpretation of the writer;it may not be so obvious that the document cannot "exist" without the interpretation of each reader.
