英语学术语言:典型特征
学术英语有一种可辨识的风格,与日常英语差别很大。掌握这些特点是 C1 阶段的关键。本节用中文讲解英语学术语言。
1. 名词化: 把动词变为名词,使文本更正式、更紧凑。
- The government decided → The government's decision
- We analysed the data → The analysis of the data
2. 非人称被动: 它避免点明行为者,使语气更客观。
- It has been argued that... / It was found that...
3. 词汇密度: 用准确术语替代冗长说法。
- use → utilise / employ / deploy
- show → demonstrate / illustrate / indicate
4. 话语标记: 它们引导读者理解文本结构。
- Furthermore / Moreover(补充)— Nevertheless / Nonetheless(让步)— Consequently(结果)
5. 路标表达(signposting): 明确预告文本的结构。
- This section examines... / The following chapter addresses...
表达
- It has been established that...用审慎语气引入已有科学共识的事实
- The findings suggest / indicate...呈现研究结果但不夸大其意义
- This section examines / explores...作为路标说明本节涵盖的内容
- In light of the evidence presented...参照已有证据作结论或总结
- Notwithstanding these limitations...正式让步,承认研究局限
- It would appear that...以学术上的审慎方式引入观察
- The data lends credence to the view that...以数据支持某种解释
- A nuanced reading of the evidence suggests...提出细致分析而非仓促结论
常见错误
As we all know, climate change is a big problem.Climate change represents one of the most pressing challenges of the contemporary era.As we all know 假定存在未被证明的共同知识,也过于口语化;改写后更准确、客观。
The results were very good and showed a lot of improvement.The results demonstrated substantial improvement across all measured parameters.Very good 和 a lot of 太笼统,应使用准确的形容词和数量表达。
I think this shows that the policy was wrong.This finding suggests that the policy may have been suboptimal in certain respects.I think 过于个人化;使用 suggests 和 hedging 能增强学术中立性。
In conclusion, we can say that our experiment worked.In conclusion, the experimental data lend support to the hypothesis that...Our experiment worked 太口语化且含义模糊;应明确说明实验结果支持了什么。
The research proves that the hypothesis is true.The research provides evidence in support of the hypothesis.学术写作中 proves 过于断言。应使用 provides evidence 或 supports,以保留科学不确定性。
There is a lot of data that shows this trend.There is a substantial body of data indicating this trend.A lot of 在学术语域中过于口语化;substantial body of data 更准确、更庄重。
