科技写作(114):冠词的正确使用

已有 19222 次阅读 2013-10-10 07:01 |个人分类:科技写作|系统分类:论文交流

       英语中有两种冠词,定冠词(the)和不定冠词(a, an)。使用名词时,如果前面需要加冠词,就要考虑选择哪类冠词,这取决于名词本身。

  • 定冠词“the”

1)表明特定事物。The culture that was contaminatedwas discarded. The Nobel prizewinner in 2006 inmedicine…

2)与短语连用。…in the presenceof … …in the absence of…

3)用以复述前文提到过的事物。The technician looked at the sample we had measured earlier. The methods described previously.

  • 不定冠词“a” “an”

1)表示群体中的一员或第一次提到的事物。A scientist needs to write well. She used an aliquot to determineDNA concentration.

2)表示一类事物。A protein can be made up of manydifferent amino acids.

  •  零冠词

1)复数名词且第一次提到。She collected samples for DNA isolation.

2)专有名词或抽象名词。Berlin was a divided city. Degradationoccurs after 24 hrs. In conclusion, we determined that…

  •  “the”, “a”, “an”

当将专有名词或抽象名词作一般名词使用时。The Berlin that was divided is gone. The degradation we observed Occurredafter 24hrs. The conclusion of thediscussion should summarize the results. Aconclusion about X cannot be drawn.

 

练习:在需要的地方加入正确的定冠词或不定冠词。

1. Oscillatory behavior was reducedin_________presence of a ring electrode.

2. Sea urchin fertilizationis_________model system in developmental biology.

3. Therefore,_______hypothesis wepresented previously is further confirmed.

4. Back to_______nature.

5. ________inorganic chemistry provesto be a very interesting subject.

6. Can you name_________inorganicmolecule?

7. Conversion of__________CK riboside to thebase can be regarded as the last step in the pathway.

8. The data for oxidation of hydrogen at thePt electrode were obtained in______ Absence of chloride ions.

9. _________theoretical studies cited earlierdepict a variety of different patterns in oscillating media.

10. Here we discuss ________physical-chemicalmechanisms leading to pattern formation in electrochemical systems.

11. Title: ____Roleof_____Physical Activity on_____Severity of Diabetes.

12. Title: _____OrbitalReconstruction and___Covalent Bonding at ____Oxide Interface

13. Title: _____Correlation of_____Highest–Energy Cosmic Rays with_____Nearby Extragalactic Objects

14. Figure 4:_____effectof____temperature on______ctx expression.

15.  ______lichens consist of algae orcyanobacteria and fungi, which coexist in symbiosis.

16. _______rainfall in____Saharadesert occurs rarely.

17. _____average rainfallin____Sahara desert is less than 25 mmper year.

18. Under_____lightmicroscope,_____organelles are visible in_____eukaryotes.

19. At the end ofits”life,”______mRNA molecule is degraded.

20. ______first probe was chosenupstream of _____Cal sequence.

21. _____NbCAl promoter was amplifiedusing_____BD Genome Walker Universal Kit(BD Bioscience-Clontech,Palo Alto,CA).

22. ______experimental data show_____stronginterference pattern that qualitatively resembles the pattern induced by adouble slit.
