sci里的参考文献引用格式(什么时候使用关系代词)
在科学写作中,下列哪个句子是正确的?
- Most of the respondents were students. Which is understandable because the posters calling for volunteers were displayed mainly at our university.
- The interviewees, of which most were postgraduates, were first asked to complete a questionnaire.
- All questionnaires, through which we went twice, were complete and were included in this study.
- The questionnaire answers provided useful information on strategies of coping with different types of stress, which are summarized below.
这些句子包含使用关系代词“which”的定语从句,用来指代前面提到的事物,但是在正式的科学写作中这四个句子都是错误的。
在句子(1)中,以“which”开头的是一个非限定性定语从句,指代的是前面的整个句子。然而,以关系代词开头的句子是非正式的。正式的写法是“Most of the respondents were students, which is understandable because the posters calling for volunteers were displayed mainly at our university.”
句子(2)使用非限定性定语从句来补充关于“interviewees”的信息。然而,因为在介词后面,需要使用人称关系代词的宾语形式(“whom”)。此外,在这个句子中,“most of whom”听起来更自然,即“The interviewees, most of whom were postgraduates,…”。
句子(3)也包含一个非限定性定语从句,但是动词短语“to go through”(意思是examine)有一个不可分割的介词。因此,“went through”应该放在一起,从句应该是“which we went through twice”。但是,“to go through”听起来不正式,所以这个从句最好改为"which we reviewed twice"。
在句子(4)中,“which”指的是答案、信息、策略、各种类型的压力,还是指前面的整个分句,这一点并不清楚。最好用一个新句子来表达清楚(例如,“The most commonly cited strategies are summarized below”)。
扩展知识小贴士
下面哪个选项是正确的?
Our university has a new (1) stationary / (2) stationery shop.
这两个单词发音相同,但是选项(2)是正确的,因为“stationed”是一个形容词,意思是静止不动,而“stationery”是一个名词,指的是办公用品(请注意,它的拼写中有一个“e”,也就是“envelopes”开头的那个字母)。
