1、,科技英语论文中摘要的写作,摘要的定义及其特点,定义:一份文献内容的缩短的精确的表达,而无须补充解释或评论。即摘要是以提供文献内容梗概为目的,简明、确切的记述文献重要内容的短文(short composition)。其基本要素包括研究目的(objects)、方法(methods)、结果(results)和结论(conclusions)。具体地讲就是研究工作的主要对象(subject)和范围(scope),采用的手段(means)和方法(methods),得出的结果(results)和重要的结论(conclusions),有时也包括具有情报价值的其他重要的信息(information)。,摘要的
2、定义及其特点,特点:全、短、精。全是指科技论文摘要应是一篇相对独立的短文。这就要求把论文的研究问题、基本观点、试验方法、主要结论,用连贯的语言、严谨的结构反映出来。短是指科技论文摘要应言简意赅。一般中文稿250300字左右;英文稿以1 000印刷符号为宜,原则上不超过全文的3。精是指科技论文的摘要应是其原文的精华。,摘要中所包括的内容,目的调查、研究、研制的前提、出发点、任务和涉及的主要范围。方法运用原理、理论、条件、对象、材料、工艺、结构、手段、设备、程序、步骤等。结果实验、观察或研究的结果、数据、关系、效应、性能等。结论结果的分析、比较、评价、应用;提出的问题;今后的课题、假设、启发、建议
3、、预测等。其他属于非研究的主要目的,但仍有重要价值的信息亦可提及,但注意不要转移读者对文献主要内容的注意力。,摘要的类型,报道性摘要(informative abstracts)即资料性摘要或情报性摘要。主要用于实验性和技术性较强的论文,报道论文的主要研究成果、数据和结论。一般应包括试验目的或原因,进行这种试验所运用的方法以及实验工作得出的实验结果和有关这些结果的分析结论。其摘要陈述重点放在结果和结论上。其撰写顺序是目的、方法、结果、结论。向读者提供原文中全部创新内容和尽可能多的定量或定性的信息。字数一般在200-300字范围内。,摘要的类型,报道性摘要(informative abstrac

8、体数据,而只告诉读者本文采用了什么方法,讨论了什么问题,得出了什么结论。它缺少实质性和具体内容,文字上高度概括、简练。篇幅较短,字数一般为50-100字。如综述、评述和单个专题的研究论文适于用指示性摘要。一些研究论文所涉及的知识分散、庞大,论文的主要内容不系统,用报道性摘要不能用200-300字概括全,而又必须对这类文献进行高度概括,故适合写作指示性摘要。,指示性摘要即介绍性摘要,也称陈述性摘要。它主要介绍论文的论题,或者概括表述研究的目的,用简单几句话使读者对论文所研究的主要内容有一个概括的了解,不需要介绍方法、结果、结论等具体内容,也不需要用数据进行定量描述。指示性摘要只讲述论文的主题思想

44、于科技英语正式、庄重的语体特征和非技术词汇,而不使用浮华、带有感情色彩的普通英语词语。如:ask/inquire(表示不用ask而用inquire,下同)、buy/purchase、cheap/inexpensive、finish/complete、get/obtain、obtainable/available、quick/rapid、touch/contact、use/utilize、put/place、enough/sufficient、in the end/eventually等。,英文摘要的语言特点与写作技巧,英文摘要的用词 2.用词的准确性 撰写科技论文英文摘要时应在把握全文的基础上
45、,透彻理解文中的词汇含义,句间的逻辑关系,选用准确的英文单词.如:“为了解棉蚜抗性产生与自然环境条件的关系,我们”.原译为“In order to understand a possible connection in the development of resistance of Aphis gosspii棉蚜虫with the environmental factors,we”在中文句中,“了解”一词实指“发现”、“找出”,译为understand欠妥;“产生”一词实指由于某些原因而诱导形成;“抗性”是指抗药性。故试译为“In order to find out a possible c
46、onnection in resistance induced of Aphis gosspii to pesticides with the environmental factors,we”,英文摘要的语言特点与写作技巧,英文摘要的用词2.用词的准确性 另外,对于近义词一定要严格辨析,准确应用。如在农科学术论文中常用的近义词:species/variety。species为“种”,variety为“品种”。species是生物分类上的一个分类界元,其上一级是genus(属),下一级是subspecies(亚种)。variety是指农业生产上由人工选育出的遗传构成稳定、性状表现相对一致的生物
47、群体。,英文摘要的语言特点与写作技巧,英文摘要的用词 3.用词的简洁性 为了节约文字,应该尽量用短的词语代替长的,主要有三个方面。(1)用复合名词。将关系密切的单词用连字符号结成词组,更能收到结构谨严、含义清晰的效果,因此复合名词在科技写作中被广泛运用。如:Transmission unit of diesel engine which is new and of low cost用了12个单词。改成复合名词为:The new low-cost diesel柴油 transmission.只用6个单词,节省用词量50%,却表达出同样的意思:新型低费用柴油机传动装置。,英文摘要的语言特点与写作技
48、巧,英文摘要的用词 3.用词的简洁性(2)以单词代词组。词组应该用含义相近的单词代替。例如:根据:用by代according to,on the basis of,in terms of 由于:用for代due to,as a result of,for the reason that,due to the fact that 现在:用now代nowadays,at present,at the present time 经常:用often代frequently,in many cases 因为:用for代because,on account of,owing to the fact that
49、 事实上用actually代in fact,as a matter of fact,英文摘要的语言特点与写作技巧,英文摘要的用词 3.用词的简洁性 对有多个限定修饰成份的短语,其修饰成份避免是一长串形容词和名词的罗列,应被分解成前置或后置成份,并用连字符将关系紧密连接。如the chlorine 氯containing high melt index propylene 丙烯based polymer聚合物,在文摘中应以the chlorine containing propylene based polymer of high melt index形式出现。,英文摘要的语言特点与写作技巧,英
50、文摘要的用词 3.用词的简洁性(3)以短语代从句 有两种方式,一种为将从句改成介词短,如:Those machines in operation(代which are now operating)are put into mass production.(这些运转中的机器都投入大批量生产。)用介词短语in operation代替从句which are now operating,表意相同,却节省用词一半;另一种表达为将从句改成分词短,如:This energy is transferred in turn to the object(which is)being lifted.(些能量转过来又
