内容提要

本文是论文英文句型系列文章的第二篇,前一篇是论文摘要中的基本句型。除非目标期刊的指南有特殊要求,引言需要交代背景(background)、需求(need)、任务(task)和构成(object of the paper)等四个要素。本文参考公开的一些文献,针对每个要素给出一些常用的句型。


部分句型直接使用文章“论文摘要中的基本句型”和文献【1-2】的句型,也有一部分经过改编而来。[1] Západočeská Univerzita, Fakulta Elektrotechnicka, Useful Phrases, AE III, Guidlines for Academic Wrting, How to write a paper,  November  4, 2013, http://en.fel.zcu.cz [2]  Wordvice,Useful Phrases for Writing Academic Papers   https://wordvice-wp-static.s3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/2018/01/Academic-Writing-Cheat-Sheet-English.pdf

背景举例 【11】

With approximately 243 million cases and 863,000 attributed deaths reported globally in 2009 (ref. 1), malaria is one of the most severe infectious diseases, primarily affecting the world’s most disadvantaged populations. Of the four typically recognized Plasmodium species causing disease in humans, Plasmodium falciparum causes most mortality, mainly in children below the age of 5, and Plasmodium vivax most morbidity, additionally representing a reservoir of latent infection that hampers current control and future elimination efforts (ref 2).


背景举例 【12】

The use of composite overlapping grids makes the treatment of complex geometries for numerical methods based on structured grids easy [2, 3, 8, 23]. In the overlap, the solution is doubly defined and may not be unique.

需求举例【11】

No new class of antimalarials has been introduced into clinical practice since 1996 (ref. 3), owing to the intrinsic difficulties in discovering and developing new antimicrobials, as well as a relative lack of public and private resource commitment towards antimalarial research. Today, the last class of widely efficacious drugs, the artemisinins, is being compromised by the rise of P. falciparum strains with reduced clinical response to artemisinin-containing drug combinations (Ref 4–6). The genomics revolution has not yet led to new antimalarial medicines and target-based lead discovery has produced disappointing results, generally for lack of whole-cell activity as documented for antibacterials (Ref 7).


需求举例【11】

However, previous studies concerning composite grids have focused on the precision, stability, and conservation of the interface treatment [1, 2, 18, 19, 22, 25, 27]; the question of uniqueness has not been addressed

任务举例【11】

To secure that property in all chemical starting points for new antimalarial leads, we have tested the approximately 2 million-compound library used for high throughput screening at GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) for inhibitors of P. falciparum’s intraerythrocytic cycle, the Plasmodium species causing the highest mortality and the parasite growth phase responsible for disease symptoms as well as being amenable to in vitro culture.


任务举例【12】

The purpose of this paper is to study the source of nonuniqueness and to examine the uniqueness for commonly used interface treatments to provide a guideline for choosing numerical methods on overlapping grids. Although it is developed for overlapping grids, the present theory can also be applied to analyze the uniqueness for more general boundary value problems (see, for example, Theorem 3.3)


在某些情况下,需求和任务可以放在一个句子中。文献【7】依据文献【11】的问题,给了三个这样的句型举例:


a) To confirm this assumption, we studied the effects of a range of inhibitors of connexin channels . . . on . . .

b) To assess whether such multiple-coil sensors perform better than single-signal ones, we tested two of them — the DuoPXK and the GEMM3 — in a field where . . .

c) To form a better view of the global distribution and infectiousness of this pathogen, we examined 1645 postmetamorphic and adult amphibians collected from 27 countries between 1984 and 2006 for the presence of . .

Object of the Paper


论文构成是指论文的余下部分会给读者呈现哪些内容,包括要解决的问题、解决到什么程度。有时还需要给出论文的安排。上面的任务是指你完成了哪些工作,而论文构成则是那些值得发表的、有意义的内容。有时,在引言中交代论文内容时,还可以给出各部分内容的思路(见下面第2个举例)。以下句型仅与论文的安排有关。


a) The problem is solved as follws. First of all, …... Secondly, …... Finally …...b) The remaining part of this paper is organized as follows. Section II describes/outlines ….., Section III discusses/analyses ….. . Section IV validates the hypothesis using experimental or numerical results.  Section V is conclusion. Some details about the experimental approach is provided in Appendix A.c) In Section II, ….. will be presented. Section III is devoted to ….. . Section IV presents ….. . The conclusion is reported in Section V.d) The proposed method is discussed in Section II and its performance is studied in section III.   Section IV shows an application of the method to the problem of   ….. . Finally, conclusion is provided in  Section V.e) In Section II, the physical (or mathematical) model is presented (or derived).  In Section III the phenomenon of  ….. is explained using the present model. In Section IV another phenomenon about  ….. is analyzed using both  ….. . Section V summarizes the results of this work and draws conclusions. 


论文构成举例【11】

Here we describe 13,533 compounds confirmed to inhibit parasite growth by more than 80% at 2 mM concentration. Only 15% displayed some cytotoxicity in that they inhibited proliferation of the HepG2 human hepatoma cell line by more than 50%at 10 mM. All of these proven plasmodial inhibitors, of which 82% were previously proprietary and thus unknown to the general research community, are hereby made public to accelerate the pace of drug development for malaria.


论文构成举例【12】The numerical method, including commonly used boundary treatment, is presented in section 2.Section 3 is devoted to problems with continuous  solutions. By using a normal mode analysis  on a linear equation, we show that the solution of a difference approximation on a strip is not unique if the corresponding resolvent equations have an eigenvalue equal to 1.   ….. . We apply this uniqueness criterion to two classes of interface treatments and prove that in most cases interface conditions defined on numerical fluxes lead to nonunique steady-state solutions while those defined on conservative variables ensure uniqueness.Section 4 treats the case of discontinuous solutions.  ….. In section 5, we compute  ….. In Appendix A, we provide a brief discussion on the relationship among uniqueness, stability, and convergence (to a steady state) and give a stability analysis in a weak sense for a flux interpolation condition.

在引言中,还涉及到对专业术语或问题进行解释的句型,这里无法给出这些与具体专业相关的句型。

由于整篇论文都需要引用参考文献、图表甚至数学公式,因此与此相关的句型拟将另文介绍。
