]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”.)

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。
