The first experiment consists of stroking a rubber rod with some fur, and then in turn touching two small pith balls suspended from strings with the rod. The pith balls then swing apart, indicating that a repulsive force now acts between them. Next, we stroke a glass rod with a silk cloth and touch two different suspended pith balls in turn with it. Once more the pith balls swing apart, indicating a repulsive force. Now we bring near each other one of the pith balls touched with the rubber rod and one touched with the glass rod; they swing toward each other this time, indicating an attractive force.VI、1.The results obtained indicate that these two methods are consistent in essence, with the exception that they have their own specific application conditions.2. A new algorithm has been designed which will be able to maintain the survival of useful copies, thus greatly reducing the number of packet copies in a network.3.

A robot is a special kind of electronic device.7. This scientist said, “Electrons move round the nucleus.”8. The current starts flowing at the very moment we close the circuit.9. There are a few exceptions to this rule.10. They have been designing a new type of computer these six months.练习9II、1. The problem was not to be solved until a completely new method wasintroduced.2. The values of most things must be converted from decimal to binary before computations can begin.3. A body at rest will never move until force compels it.4. Nearly 100 years passed before the existence [presence] of subatomic particles was confirmed by experiment [experimentally].5. Diode D conducts the moment [the instant; directly; immediately] the input voltage becomes more negative than V.6. The first time they designed an electronic computer, scientists encountered many difficulties.7. The year this device was invented, World War II broke out.8. Small as they are, atoms are made up of still smaller particles.9. The voltage is always there while the generator is operating.10. As current flows, part of its energy will be lost.11. These two resistors should be selected [chosen] so that the transistor can operate normally.12. The body is in such a state that it can do work.III、1. The relation that voltage is the product of current and resistance applies to all the dc circuits.2. The fact that everything around us is matter is known to all.3. The discovery that magnetism can produce current is extremely important in the field of electricity.4. There is no doubt that the magnetic field is produced by some sort of circulating current.5. An equation is an algebraic statement that two algebraic expressions are equal.6. There is evidence that the mass of a body is the function of the body.7. The question now arises whether this result applies to all cases.8. In this case there is no guarantee that the series is convergent.9. There is a growing awareness that these techniques are very useful.10. One of [Among] the most noteworthy achievements at that time was the realization that light consists of electromagnetic waves.11. The advent of electronics is reckoned from the discovery that the current in the vacuum diode can be controlled by introducing a third electrode.the fact that there are many free electrons in conductors.13. There is no evidence that energy can be created or destroyed.14. This series of experiment leads to the result that with a constant applied [external] force, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass.15. Besides [In addition to] the fact that the properties of the material should be included in the analytical model, we must take other factors into account. IV、Nearly all substances fall into two major [broad; general; main] categories: conductors and insulators. Metals, many liquids, and plasmas are conductors, while nonmetallic solids, certain liquids, and gases are insulators. Just as the rate of flow of water depends upon the difference of height between them, the rate of flow of electric current between two points depends upon the difference of potential between them. The statement that voltage is proportional to current multiplied by [times] resistance is called Ohm’s law, since it was first verified experimentally by the German physicist Georg Ohm.V、pared with the theory presented in the literature published abroad in recent years that the polar axis should be in parallel with the earth’s axis, the method given in this paper will lead to (a) higher accuracy.2.These features make it difficult for electronic counter-measure systems to intercept, analyze and jam this kind of signals.3. By the family of curves is meant a specified set of curves which satisfy given conditions.4. The existence of and the ability to control these phenomena make those devices possible.5. In this case it is necessary to use as much energy of signals as possible.6. The variation of the number of the filter’s teeth has a greater effect on the performance of its passband than the variation of its dimensions.7. Scalar detection will result in the loss of some phase information.8. Fig. 6 shows the schematic diagram of measuring scatter parameters by the natural parameter transformation method.练习10II、1. Now it remains to be determined when the series converges.2. It is clear from Dubamel’s Theorem that this limit exists.3. How large this error is depends upon several [a few] factors.4. It is a matter of indifference which point of view is adopted.5. It should be emphasized that these definitions may be used for angles of any magnitude.6. It is assumed that the student has a basic understanding of mechanical drawing.7. It follows from Maxwell’s hypothesis that whenever there is a change in an electric field, a magnetic field is produced.8. It happens that the overall phase shift is zero.9. It does not matter whether the magnet is moved in this case.10. It makes no difference which unknown is selected [chosen].11. Temperature determines in what direction the transfer of heat will take place.12. Which equation we should use depends on what data we are given [know] in the problem.13. It is now a well-known fact that all matter consists of tiny particles.14. It has been found that the direction of an electric current is opposite to that of the flow of electrons.III、1. It is necessary to determine under what conditions this equation holds [applies; is valid; is true].2. This device is just what we need.3. Now we summarize what we have proved so far [up to now].4. What a generator does is to change mechanical energy into electrical energy.5. What this chapter describes [What is described in this chapter] is of great importance.6. This magnetic force is what makes the electric motor run.7. Matter is what can occupy space.8. This is what happens in a transistor.9. What we have discovered in this experiment is the entirely new realm of electrical phenomenon.10. This direction is opposite to what has been assumed.11. What is spoken of as absolute zero is the temperature 273o C below zero.12. Television and telephone communications are linking people to a globalvillage, or what one writer calls the electronic city.13. Magnitude, direction, and place of application are what we call the three elements of a force.14. These numbers constitute what is known as the real number system.15. After a chemical change, a substance is changed to something different from what it was.16. In what follows, we acquaint ourselves with some basic concepts.IV、It is said that Galileo found, after a number of experiments, that all bodies near the earth fall toward the earth with the same acceleration. This acceleration is what we call the acceleration of gravity. Galileo’s work was especially significant because, for the first time, experimental results were accepted despite the fact that they contradicted well-known established ideas, in this case the notion that heavy things “should” fall faster than light ones. What deserves to be commented on Galileo’s work is that his conclusion that all things fall with the same constant acceleration is only an idealization of reality.V、1. An x-band wave-guide test system is shown in Fig.7. [或:Fig. 7 shows …].2. This method lowers the requirement for the hardware of a sample network.3. On the basis of the above analysis of the decomposition of the polynomial, a novel configuration results. [或:The above analysis of the decomposition of the polynomial results in a novel configuration.]4. This can satisfy the system’s input and output rates with as low a systolic frequency as possible.5. This paper discusses the design guideline for and the structure of the system, with a deep inquiry into model testing.6. Finally, an analysis of packet loss probability is made by computer simulation.7. The sparse ratio of the resulting impedance matrix is as high as 40%.8.

– In this paper, we have given a reason that is why the competitive ability of the national firms is weak. Because the non-national firms can get very cheap labor, under the same technical and economical conditions and the same cost, a non-national firm can produce more output than a national firm does, so it can get much more profit. In this way, the competitive ability of the non-national firm is stronger than the national firms.

第三节 科技论文及其摘要的写作注意事项
一、所写的英语句子语法上一定要正确,进 而努力做到地道、准确
二、广泛使用被动句 三、科技论文及文摘中使用的时态 四、词汇问题 五、句子特征
六、科技论文和文摘中不使用口语体的缩略 形式
七、与主题无关的内容不要写在文摘中

一、所写的英语句子语法上一定要正确,进而 努力做到地道、准确
第三人称的代词。但在现代英文文摘中也有用第 一人称复数形式代词“we”的。
不过,到目前为止几乎没人使用第一人称单数 “I(我)”的(我们发现有初写英文文摘的同学可能 由于受汉语的影响往往在文摘中使用了“I”)。从 多数情况看,英美人通常用"the authors"或 "the author"来表示相应的“我们”或“我”的概念 。

需要注意,尽管前面介绍过副词作状语时 在句中的位置是灵活的,但在被动句中修饰 主动词的副词大多应放在过去分词之前而不 放在句首,如:
The circuit is then completed.
Wires are usually made of copper.
The current in this resistor is first determined.
我们通常见到的英文文摘的第一句话“本文提 出了(介绍了,证明了)……”,英美人常用被 动句,例如:
A new procedure for checking the
stability of 2—D digital filters is proposed
.

若在文摘中使用主动语态,则主语多用名词或
该使用被动句了,否则很容易写出没有主语的“中文
式英语”来。当然科技英语中也有表示“人们、大家”
的词,那就是"one”(注意并不是有些读者常喜欢用
的"people"一词,这个词在正式的科技文中是很少
用的),它在语法上表示单数第三人称,总体上来说
,这个词也并不是十分常用的。

另外,由于论文的文摘是概述论文的内容,所 以“在本文中(in this paper)”这一概念在英文文 摘中一般是不必写出来的,写上了就显得多此一 举(不过我们也发现有些外国人也常用这一短语 的)。但是如果文摘一开头是说明或介绍情况, 然后陈述本文提出了某种解决方案、设计方法等 ,这时就得加上“in this paper”这一短语,它起 了一个转折语的作用,这样就显得上下概求,
因为至少使外国人能了解你想要表达的意思
。可有一部分同学由于语法概念不怎么强、
句型不怎么熟练,所以在撰写英语句子时往
往根据脑子里汉语的概念而堆上一些英语单
词,从而写出了不少“中文式的英语”。我们
经常发现没有主语的句子,在及物动词后缺
少宾语,在介词后表示一个动作没有用动名
results
obtained are in good agreement with the
calculated values.”来表示;“这一点需要进
一步考虑”可用"This point deserves some
further consideration.”来表示,等等。

二、广泛使用被动句
Computers have been widely used in our national defence.(这个句子也可译成主动态的一 个表达被动含义的固定句型:Computers have found wide use in our national defence.) 最后举例说明了这种方法的应用。
Finally,the application of this method is illustrated with an example. 众所周知,分子是由原子组成的。
It is well known that(或:As is well known, )molecules consist of atoms.
词而用了过去分词,主语与谓语的数不一致
,使用分词作状语时其逻辑主语与句子的主
语不一致,可数名词单数前没有冠词或不知
道使用an,等等。 整理ppt

在把句子的语法结构搞正确后,就要进一步

本文提出了一种新的计算机辅助设计方法。
A new computer-aided design method is presented (in the paper).(当然从语法上来 说,这个句子也可译成主动句:This paper
presents a new computer-aided design method.)从英美人写的科技文摘来看,以 译成被动句的情况为多见。

三、科技论文及文摘中使用的时态
由于科技文侧重于叙述科技内容,很少涉 及动作发生的时间,所以科技写作中时态运 用很有限,常用的只有几种,其中最大量使 用的时态是一般现在时,其次是一般将来时 和现在完成时,再次是一般过去时和现在进 行时,其它时态相对来说用得不多(当然, 为了表示虚拟语气,还要借用到过去完成时 、过去将来时和过去将来完成时)。而在文 摘中则主要使用一般现在时,其次是现在完 成时,偶尔使用一般过去时和一般将来时。
在科技论文中由于主要着重讲述客观现象和科技真
理,所以与日常英语和文学著作相比,被动句使用
得广泛得多(外国人统计过,被动句在科技英语中约
占三分之一,比文艺类的文章多十余倍),而在英文
文摘中更是如此。我们汉语中则被动句用得较少,
且可使用没有行为主体的无人称句(或者使用主语为
“人们”、“大家”等意义的词),这时用英语表达时就
