对于上述“十大句式”,具备以下显著特点:

 

1.“十大句式”具有普遍性。事实上,“十大句式”在阅读文章和写作范文中出现频率相当高,也是广大科研人员非常熟悉的句式。可以说,句句皆是万用的。一旦科研人员熟练地掌握了它们的用法,就能根据内容表达的需要,随时派上用场。用句夸张的话来说,就是“不怕写不到,就怕想不到”。

2.“十大句式”的提出基本符合最新科技论文写作评分标准中对句子结构的要求。“十大句式”中除了否定句、倒装句、插入语一般可以写成简单句以外,其它6到7句都属于复合句,占到总数的三分之二以上。换句话说,如果科研人员能运用十大句式正确地写出句子,那么不仅复杂句的数量就可以达到6到7分规定的要求,而且句式呈现多样化,复合句和简单句交错使用,以增强文章表达效果。

3. 增强科研人员句式的写作意识。“十大句式”对科研人员来讲,并不陌生,然而在写作考试中,由于时间紧迫,科研人员平时又缺乏运用已经掌握的句式的意识,因此多数科研人员以自己头脑中拼凑的中式英语取而代之,往往想不到运用这些句式。

4. 多数感觉句子写起来挥洒自如的科研人员,其中或多或少地在使用十大句式,在一定程度上说明他们头脑中已经培养起句式写作潜意识。

 

总之,句式变换直接影响到论文写作的成败。在此,衷心希望“十大句式”能为广大科技论文科研人员提供一条快速、高效的提高句式写作的途径,真正做到学以致用,“以不变应万变”。
