科学论文写作与发表：分类句式用语

科学论文的写作在常用句型、用语方面有一定的规律可循。掌握这些基本规律，写作论 文时可收到事半功倍的效果。那么，常用的句型、句式怎样分类比较科学?通常用到的句式 为哪些类型?各种类型又有哪些基本表达方法? 所有这些问题，都拟在本文内例述和研讨。

为什么要掌握分类句式用语呢？因为，首先，这有利于避免不必要的重复。许多有用 的句型，通常出现在科学论文的不同部分，如表示研究目的用语，不仅在论文摘要中用到， 而且在引言、讨论、甚至结论等部分都会用到。如果我们在讲述怎样写作各部分时都列举类 似的用语，势必造成重复、赘述。现在把它们集中起来分类例述，就能避免不必要的重复。

其次，掌握分类句式用语有利于比较地道、规范的英语表达。把英美人写作论文时的句 式用语集中地进行分类选择，有利于广大专业技术人员和研究生们学习、模仿比较地道、规 范的英语表达，有利于节约时间，避免费力耗时地造出“蹩脚的”、甚至“中国式”的英语 表达。

第三，掌握分类句式用语有利于写作中的多样化表达。把表达相同或相似概念的不同表 达方式集中分类，便于写作中选择、比较，有利于交替使用不同的句型，避免句式单调、用 词单一，实现表达多样。

再则，掌握分类句式用语也符合科学论文的写作规律。因为常用的句型是写作中客观存 在的，它们的使用已基本上格式化了，而且使用的频率又很高，所以对常用的句式用语进行 科学的分类，是一件有实用意义的工作。

至于怎样分类，这主要是从两个方面考虑。

一是从逻辑思维角度考虑。人们总是首先提出问题，然后分析和解决问题，最后得出结 果或结论。这可以看作是解决问题的一种“模式”。这种“模式”，也可作为我们分类选择句 式用语时的指导思想。

二是从写作程式角度考虑。任何一篇科学论文的写作，大都要：①指出其研究的目的， ②限定其讨论的范围，③说明其理论的依据，④描述其实验的步骤，⑤介绍其工作的方法， ⑥展示其研究的结果，⑦作出科学的评价等。这种基本“程式”，正是我们分类选择句式用 语的实践依据。

鉴于上述，我们在本文内对科学论文写作中常用的句式用语进行了分类，并选择了 240 余条例句供参考。

俗语说：“熟读唐诗三百首，不会作诗也会吟”。我们深信，掌握英语科学论文写作中常 用的句式用语，无疑会有助于科学论文的写作。
