英語文章寫作要點

Introduction

説明

The Rosetta Stone, key to the original deciphering of Egyptian hieroglyphs, has probably been the most famous language inscription on the planet. This massive piece of polished black stone, discovered in 1799, contains parallel messages in old Greek, hieroglyphs, and demotic, a cursive form of hieroglyphics, chiseled into its surface. Twenty-four years after its discovery linguists finally completed the decoding which permitted the people of the world to understand the writings and culture of ancient Egypt.??

羅賽塔石碑，破譯埃及象形文字的關鍵所在，也有可能是這個星球上最有名的語言題詞。這樣一塊大的拋光黑色石頭，是在1799年發現的，包含類似古希臘的象形文字，和通俗文字，及草形式的象形文字， 其表面輪廓分明。 24年前，被語言學家發現後，終於完成了解碼這使世界人民的知曉文字和文化的古埃及。??

概意：英語是世界語言界的“羅賽塔石碑”，是用於科學論文寫作的最好語言。

Even if flowing exotic language is, unfortunately, not a good way to report research results, it is still a splendid way to write short stories, novels, and poetry. Perhaps English literature will forever have stirring pages filled with fiery words designed to inflame a reader's soul or poetry of soaring words intended to make one drunk with beauty. But these are not the words in which to report scientific results.

概意：學科技論文不必要像寫小説、或詩歌一樣的對待，（用一些壯麗、温暖、富有感情色彩的詞彙），而只要仔細地對待，用一個嚴謹的方式，表達清意思即可。

成功的寫法：

Successful scientific writing today is done in a simple and direct fashion. , the sequence must be precisely organized - not an easy thing to accomplish because so many things at first seem to need to be said simultaneously. Second, every sentence must be worded so that it is clear, with no alternate meanings available to innocent readers who were not in the lab with you, and therefore must rely only on the accuracy of your words.

概意：成功的科學論文，是以一種簡單、明瞭，而直接的方式完成的，有幾點。 第一：精確安排所寫內容的順序；

第二：要用非專業人員也能懂得的詞彙來表達論文意思，這就依賴於精確詞彙的使用，另外就是形象的比喻。
