科技论文写作中句子长度的应用技巧

撰写科技论文时,作者应该使用各种不同长度的句子:有短句,作为强调之用,有长句,用来表达比较复杂的观念。 散漫的句子可以分为两大类:由令人困惑的杂乱附属子句和主要子句所构成的复杂句子,以及一长串简单子句用and 或but 连接而成的散漫句子。 例如:

散漫句:Because there is still a great deal of material in this field that I have yet to study,and because my desire to obtain a doctoral degree is strong, moreover, my institute also has agreed to provide expenses for me to travel abroad to study, therefore, if your graduate institute accepts my application, I hope to begin my studies there in the fall of next year, and plan to complete my degree objectives in four years, and then I will return to my country and work for the research institute here again．

修正:There is still a great deal of material in this field that I have yet to study, and I am highly motivated to pursue a doctoral degree． Moreover, the research institute where I work has agreed to provide funds for me to study abroad． If admitted to your graduate institute, I plan to begin my studies there next fall． I hope to complete my degree in four years; after graduation, I will return to my country to continue my work at the reaearch institute here．(www.xing528.com)

例句中将原来散漫的句子分成4 个独立的句子,每一个句子表达一两个清楚的观念。修正后,文章的意思比较清楚,也容易阅读。
