化学论文写作
发表论文是顺利毕业并获得学位的必要条件
（但不是充分条件），自己要负责。
有些学生论文给导师修改后，就坐在电脑前
把导师修改的改上去，然后再拿给导师修改，而自
己不去想为什么应该这样改？作为研究生（而不是
打字员），你要从导师的修改中学习，融会贯通，
为己所用。
• 文章不是数据的堆砌，如果说原来的数据是珍珠
的话，那么写文章就是用线和珍珠来创造工艺品
，而线就是我们的提纲，不要东一榔头，西一棒
槌，要根据列好的提纲，每天一部分有针对性的
来写会轻松一点。
• 在读文献的时候，特别是沿着一条固定的思路下
去读了许多文献之后，有机会出现新的火花和思
如泉涌的情形。但是，过了之后，就容易把它们

关于作者以及署名
作者要对文章负责。
Plagiarism(剽窃)
To plagiarize is to give the impression that something you
have written is your own when it was in fact taken from
someone else’s work. Plagiarism may take the form of :
• repeating another’s sentences as your own.
• adopting a particularly good phrase as your own.
• paraphrasing someone else’s argument.
• Presenting someone else’s form of organization as your
own.
In the West, plagiarism is considered a serious academic
crime and may lead to expulsion from the university.
You’ll never be accused of plagiarism by following
these guidelines:
•
Use your own words and sentence structures.
• When putting someone else’s idea in your own
words, avoid using any words from the original.
•
If you use any original words, use a quotation.
• Acknowledge all ideas taken from other writers,
except commonly held knowledge in the field.
It is plagiarism to use some original words or
phrases from a sentence while changing others. It is
also plagiarism to keep the sentence structure and
change all the words to synonyms.

Chapter 20 科技英语论文写作
20.1 Introduction
• 英语写作大致涉及两方面:
第一为语言基础, 即词法句法的正确使用, 要写
出语法上正确的句子(Correct Sentences), 以保
证读者能看明白, 避免Chinese
English(Chinglish);
第二要努力写出地道的句子(standard sentences),
即合理地使用专业中的词汇及固定的或特定
的用法.
20.2学术论文语言基本特征
• 准确: 指词汇、句法结构、拼写、标点等
语言要素的正确运用。
• 确切：在语言和内容上都必须准确切实,
恰如其分地反映客观事物的真实面目。
• 简洁：语言干净利落、凝练精悍，避免拗
口的长句和冗长繁杂的修饰语。
• 完整：内容和结构上要求完整、全面而具
体，正确处理完整和简洁的关系。
• 清楚：文章要力求清楚易懂，针对不同的
读者群来决定文章中专业术语的使用比重。
• 客观性：科学论文的语句中，应尽可能以
研究客体作为主语，以求体现客观性。因
此，在描述研究过程时，当动作主体为研
究者本人时，仍常常使用被动语态。
20.3 paragraph(段落)
Construction of a paragraph
• Usually a paragraph includes a topic
sentence (主题句), one or several
supporting sentences (论证句) and,
sometimes, a concluding sentence (结论
句).
Three Qualities of a Paragraph：
* Unity(一致性): A paragraph follows a straight line of
development; it states a single thought. All material not
directly related to the paragraph should be left out.
* Continuity(连贯性): All sentences within a paragraph
should be arranged logically and smoothly. An outline
(提纲) will help you organize your ideas so that all
important ideas are included and in logical order, and
help you write more quickly.
* Transition Signals(转折词) are words to guide the reader
and make it easy to follow the ideas. They also help the
paragraph flow more smoothly.
Classes of Transition Signals
• Example(举例): for example, for instance, as
an illustration, to illustrate, namely, that is, for
one thing.
• Addition(增补): in addition, furthermore,
moreover, and, also, or, too, besides, again,
what’s more, likewise.
• Emphasis(强调): in fact, as a matter of fact, in
other words, of course, certainly, above all,
indeed, clearly, surely, in particular, obviously,
naturally, anyway, in this case.
Classes of Transition Signals
• Contrast(对照): while, whereas, in contrast, on the
other hand, instead, on the contrary, inspite of,
despite, but, however, although, still, yet, nevertheless,
conversely, otherwise.
• Comparison(比较): similarly, in the same way, even
though, at the same time, not only…but also, likewise,
meanwhile.
• Concession(让步): although, after all, it is true(that).
• Conclusion(结论): in conclusion, to conclude, to sum
up, to summarize, in summary, in all, in short, in
brief, in a word.
Classes of Transition Signals
• Cause(原因): for this reason, because of this,
because, since, as, for, due to, owing to, thanks to.
• Consequence(结果): thus, hence, therefore,
accordingly, consequently, so, in this way, as a
result.
• Order(次序): first, second, first of all, to begin
with, at first, finally, eventually, in the end,
immediately, soon, in front of, next to, opposite
to, in the middle of, afterward, then.
