]Grammar is important for you to understand scientific literature with accuracy. In writing scientific English, grammar appears more important. Some professors and Ph.D. candidates sent their papers to the well-known international technical journals, such as the American IEEE and the British IET. The reviewers’comment might often be like this: “What is described in your paper is acceptable. But your English is pretty poor. Please improve it (or: Please rewrite your paper entirely). ”As has been mentioned above, grammar is important. But it is not everything. “Overkilling”[过分] in sentence analysis is objectionable. My idea is: Emphasis should be laid on what you find most difficult and on what is different from our mother tongue—the Chinese language, which, it seems to me, is true for the study of any foreign language.T oday we’ll begin with the parts of speech[词类]. They are just like components in electronic devices[电子设备]. Before you start to learn a TV receiver, for instance, you should have a good understanding of the functions of various components. Then you will be able to learn the machine well. Otherwise, you won’t be able to do so, I’m afraid.However, this point is often ignored by the Chinese students while they are learning a foreign language. As a matter of fact, many problems arise from the misunderstanding of the part of speech of a word and its function in a sentence.Chapter 1 Parts of Speech (词类)I. Articles(冠词)We restrict our discussion to the following points.1.Their translation into ChineseThere are three possibilities: (Which one will be adopted isdetermined by the trial-and-error method“试探法”.) (1)They must be translated into Chinese.(2)They mustn’t be translated into Chinese.(3)They may or may not be translated into Chinese. Examples:A table is often made of wood.Here is an analysis. [ Here is an experiment. Here is an example. = An example follows.]θ is a parameter.The proof of the theorem is not difficult.The unit of current(电流)is the ampere(安培).2. The basic usage of articles(1)Before a countable noun in singular form, an articlebe used.(2)Before a noun (countable or uncountable) which is“如果把电压(voltage)加到电路(circuit)的两端,在电路中就会有电流(current)流动(flow)。
科技英语的语法特点科技英语作为一种揭示客观外部世界的本质和规律的信息传递工具,具有准确、简明扼要和客观正式等特点。
科技文章文体的特点是:语言简练、结构严谨,逻辑性强,原理概念清楚,重点突出,段落章节分明。
具体而言,科技英语在用词、语法结构及表达方式上有其自身的特点,下面分别予以介绍。
1.词汇1)大量使用专业词汇和半专业词汇,例如calculus(微积分学), vector(矢量), matrix (矩阵)等是专业词汇,而power, work等是半专业词汇,在不同的学科领域含义有所不同;2)大量使用词缀和词根,例如,上海科学技术出版社出版的《英汉现代科学技术词汇》中以tele-构成的词有177个;3)较多使用缩略词,如PCM(pulse-coded modulation,脉冲编码调制), VLSI(very large scale integration,超大规模集成), DSP(digital signal processing,数字信号处理)等;4)词性变换多,例如function一词常用作名词,作“函数、功能、作用”等解,但在例句Robots can withstand radiation, heat, cold, and can function without an atmosphere中则用作动词,表示“起作用,行使职责”之意。
2.词法1) 常用一般现在时态表示真理或客观规律的普遍陈述。
[例句]Vector and matrix techniques provide the framework for much of the developments in modern engineering.[译文]矢量和矩阵方法为现代工程学的发展提供了框架。
2) 广泛使用被动语态科技英语句子有三分之一用被动语态,为的是强调所论述的客观事物。
[例句] A characteristics feature of semiconductor is that their low electric conductivity can be substantially modified by the addition of minute quantities of impurities.[译文] 半导体的特征是:加入微量杂质可明显改变其低导电率。
Unit 1Basic parts of a sentence (1)【GRAMMAR】1. Subject and predicateA sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought. Every sentence has two basic parts, a subject and a predicate. The subject is the naming part of the sentence, representing the person, place, or thing that performs the action of the verb or expressing the condition or state of the verb.Subjects are nouns and other forms that can function as nouns, such as pronouns, clauses, infinitives and gerunds. A subject usually comes first in a sentence. It is the topic about which the speaker or writer is speaking or writing. For example,1)My grandfather bought the car many years ago.2)The car was bought many years ago by my grandfather.The two sentences above are almost similar in meaning, but they have different topics. In sentence 1, the focus of the meaning is “my grandfather”; whereas, sentence 2 is mainly about “the car”. In different contexts, we have a different choice of the two sentences. See if you can put a suitable one of the two sentences above into each space below.In my garage, there is an old car. _______________. It is a Cadillac, a veryclassical luxury car, manufactured in 1966. The car has 65.000 original miles on it,but sitting in a damp garage for most of its life didn’t do many favors for it.In my garage, there is an old car. It is my grandfather’s gift for my grandmother._____________. In order to buy this car, my grandfather had been saving his moneyfor quite a few years. He worked as a truck driver for a local grocery chain, andsupported a big family on his salary. Needless to say, money was pretty hard to comeby that time. According to my grandmother, at the end of the day he would comehome and empty his space change into a jar beside the bed. When the jar was full, hewould take it to the band.Predicates are verbs. A predicate is the doing or being part of the sentence, expressing the action or state of being of the subject. The predicate, often coming after the subject, is the semantic and grammatical center of a sentence.I bought a house for my parents.Some of the buried workers are still alive.The babies grew nervous from the loud noise.A verb is often made up of more than one word. The verb that expresses the action or state of being of the subject is called main verb. The word that accompany the main verb is called anauxiliary/ helping verb, which helps the main verb express mood or time by forming various tenses.George must be playing basketball with them now.The thief has been caught in a deserted building.Auxiliary /helping verbs can not be used alone in a sentence. It must go together with main verbs. Correct the following sentences:✍Tomorrow will surely better.✍Our campus will more and more beautiful.✍ When you opened the window, the room would immediately bright.Verb can be classified into two: action verbs and linking verbs. An action verb expresses an action, such as do, act, make, walk, take, break, react, write, see, say, buy, build and so on. A linking verb links/joins the subject of a sentence (often a noun or a pronoun) with a noun, a pronoun, or an adjective that identifies or describes the subject. It does not show action, but express the existence or state of being of the subject.A noun, a pronoun or an adjective that follows a linking verb is called a predictive, which points back to the subject to rename it, to identify it or to describe it further.There are eleven linking verbs which are most frequently used. We can briefly put them into three groups.1)expressing judgment or change: be, get, turn, prove2)indicating five senses of humans: look, feel, smell, taste, sound3)some others, “GRABS”: g row, r emain, a ppear, b ecome, s eemExamples:For years her grandfather was one of the town leaders.My coat seemed too large.Pineapple sometimes tastes better with salt.Most students feel disappointed with the result.The time of his birth remains a mystery to us.有缘学习更多+谓ygd3076考证资料。
科技英语中的动词科技英语作为一种特殊用语,是由科学技术所产生和使用的一种专业术语语言,它在科研、教育、工程等领域具有重要的作用。
在科技英语中,动词是非常重要的一部分,它们用于表达行为、过程和变化。
本文将介绍科技英语中常用的动词,以及这些动词在句子中的常见用法。
动词的基本概念动词是指表示行为或状态的词,是英语中最为重要的语法成分之一。
在句子中,动词通常作为谓语,用来表达主语的动作、状态或性质。
动词的时态、语态、语气、人称和数等形态变化,可以反映出句子的时间、情态、主谓关系和复数等信息。
在科技英语中,动词的应用也是非常广泛的。
以计算机科技行业为例,常见的动词有apply、access、save、delete、install、run、debug、optimize、compile、program等,它们都是用来表达计算机操作、程序编写和调试、网络通信等过程的动作。
同时,在其他领域的专业语言中也会使用到相应的动词。
动词的时态和语态在科技英语中,动词的时态和语态是非常常见和重要的问题。
时态表示动作发生的时间,有现在时、过去时和将来时三种;语态表示主语和谓语的关系,有主动语态和被动语态两种。
时态现在时态现在时态用来表示现在正在进行的动作,或现在的状态。
例如:•The computer is running a program.(电脑正在运行一个程序。
)•This software supports multiple languages.(这个软件支持多种语言。
)过去时态过去时态用来表示过去已经完成的动作。
例如:•The file was deleted by mistake.(文件被误删了。
)•The bug was fixed in the latest version.(这个漏洞已在最新版中修复。
)将来时态将来时态用来表示将来要完成的动作或状态。
例如:•The new feature will be released next month.(新功能将在下个月发布。
动词非谓语形式动词不定式(二)(1)复合不定式for + 名词(或代词)+ 不定式注:由“for”引出不定式的逻辑主语。
句法功能:主、宾、表、定、状①主语It is possible for us to solve this problem by a computer.②宾语(用形式宾语“it”的句型)This property makes it possible for metals to be made into any shape.句法功能:主、宾、表、定、状③表语The main job now is for scientists to continue studying the buildup(聚集)of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.④定语The job for a computer to do is to measure or count.This is a necessary condition for the electric field to be zero.Attention: 在“ability, tendency, desire等”词后通常要用“of”来代替“for”:Energy is defined as the ability of a body to do work.Gravity(万有引力)is the tendency of all objects to attract, and be attracted by,each other.句法功能:主、宾、表、定、状⑤状语For the arithmetic unit(运算单元)to be able to do its required tasks, it must be told what to do. This signal is too large for the transistor to handle.有缘学习更多+谓ygd3076考证资料(2)名词性不定式howwhatwhen疑问词where + 不定式whichwhetherwhomwhose(2)名词性不定式How to determine the weight and size of an atom is a question interesting to many of us.It is necessary to find how large to make r so as for the series(级数)to converge(收敛).The reader may have no idea which of these operations(运算)to do first.(3)反射式不定式Fill in the blanks.These metals are generally difficult ________ (machine).We find this equation easy _________ (solve).(3)反射式不定式若句子的主语(或宾语)是句尾不定式(或者不定式短语末尾介词)的宾语的话,这样的句子结构就称为“反射式不定式”(最常见的情况是形式主语或形式宾语“it”被句尾不定式的宾语替代了的情况)。
Unit 7【WRITING】Correcting:Unnecessary shiftsKeep sentences smooth, clear, and consistent. Avoid sudden, aimless shifts of the following. 1.Shifts in subjectThe subject of a sentence is the person, thing, place, or idea that is doing or being something. It is what/whom a sentence is about. That is, subject is the focus of a sentence and the real interest of the writer. Be consistent in your choice of subject.✗ First the dirty water must be drained out, and then you should clean the pipe.The shift from "the dirty water" to "you" (and with it the shift from a passive to an active verb) is as awkward as it is needless.✓First you must drain the dirty water out, and then clean the pipe.2. Shift in personPerson determines if someone is speaking (first person --- I or we), being spoken to (second person --- you), or being spoken about (third person --- he/she, it or they)in a sentence. Shift in person is improperly mixing first, second, or third person within a sentence.✗ When we looked down, you could see the little farms growing smaller and smaller.In both clauses, the writer is talking about the same group of people: it is inappropriate to shift without reason from the first person (we) to the second person (you).✓ When we looked down, we could see the little farms growing smaller and smaller.✓ When you looked down, you could see the little farms growing smaller and smaller.3. Shift in tense"Tense" refers to the form of a verb that indicates time. Be consistent in your choice of tense.✗ After I left a small village in the south of France, I will drive on to the next town.Here, the sentence unnecessarily shifts from the simple past tense ("I left") to simple future tense ("I will drive").✓ After I left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town.4. Shift in moodMood is a set of verb forms or inflections that conveys the writer's attitude toward a subject. There are three major moods in English:(1) the indicative mood, used to make factual statements;(2) the imperative mood, used to express a command;(3) the subjunctive mood, used to indicate doubt or unlikelihood.✗ First discuss the problem; then you should take action.Here, the writer combines an imperative mood with a subjunctive mood in the same sentence. It is a needless shift in mood.✓ First discuss the problem; then take action.✓You must discuss the problem first and then take action.有缘学习更多+谓ygd3076考证资料。

Before you start to learn a TV receiver, for instance, you should have a good understanding of the functions of various components. Then you will be able to learn the machine well. Otherwise, you won’t be able to do so, I’m afraid.However, this point is often ignored by the Chinese students while they are learning a foreign language.
