[投稿英文期刊]中国人常范的错误4

【编者按】如今要取得博士学位必需要有SCI文章，许多人因此纷纷投稿英文期刊。许多人在投稿英文期刊时会遇到这样或那样的问题，生物通将就这个问题为大家提供系列的文章。首先介绍的是一位审阅过200余篇稿、以英语为母语的审稿人写的中国人常范的错误，相信这些错误具有一定代表性，希望能够帮助各位正在为paper奋斗的莘莘学子们。

‘Respectively’和‘respective’

各自（respectively）指的是两个或以上人或事按照预先描述过的顺序出现。比如：

Nicole and Daren wore red, green and blue coats, respectively.

List 1    List 2

Bobby wore a red coat.

Nicole wore a green coat.

Daren wore a blue coat.

List2中的事物是按照list1中的顺序出现的。这种做法可以避免写多个短句子，同时也使逻辑显得清晰。通常，respectively在句子的末尾出现，它总是强调事物出现的顺序，否则没有必要使用。

Incorrect If both the core technology score and core quality score of a bottleneck process are, respectively, below certain scores, then we refer to strategy 1, otherwise, if either is, respectively, above a certain score, then we refer to strategy 2.Similarly, if the core technology and core quality are, respectively, above a certain score, then we refer to strategy 3, otherwise, if either is, respectively,below a certain score, then we refer to strategy 4.

Correct If both the core technology score and core quality score of a bottleneck process are below certain scores, then we refer to strategy 1, otherwise, if either is above a certain score, then we refer to strategy 2. Similarly, if the core technology and core quality are above a certain score, then we refer to strategy 3, otherwise, if either is below a certain score, then we refer to strategy 4.

Incorrect Then, the rows of vortex due to both of the long and short blades are transformed into two singularities on the -plane and integrate the induced velocity along the blades respectively.

Correct Then, the rows of vortex due to both of the long and short blades are transformed into two singularities on the -plane and integrate the induced velocity along the blades.

3 不知repectively指的究竟是什么，也可不必用

Incorrect The dynamic characteristics of a rotor with asymmetric stiffness or with initial warp have been studied before respectively.

Correct The dynamic characteristics of a rotor with asymmetric stiffness or with initial warp have been studied before.

Incorrect The inlet and outlet temperature of the air cooler were measured using two thermocouples respectively.

Correct The inlet and outlet temperature of the air cooler were measured by using two thermocouples.

‘In this paper’, ‘in this study’

关于这两个词常范的错误可能会有两个。一个是滥用这两个词。在一些中国人写的论文中，这些词出现的频率可能达到每页出现2次。在惯用英语作者写作的文章中一般只会在两种情况下出现：1 介绍和总结时强调文章内容时；2 在介绍不是由作者完成的工作（如：其它文章或一些常用标准）的后面。因此一篇文章出现这些短句超过三次就要好好检讨了。事实上，不写这些词读者也知道这是作者做的工作。

另外还有一种问题就是错误使用这两个词。

Awkward In this paper, IDEAS was used to ….

Correct In this study, IDEAS was used to….

Awkward In the paper, a SZG4031 towing tractor is used as the sample vehicle, it components equivalent physical parameters are obtained by UG design and testing.

Correct In this study, a SZG4031 towing tractor is used as the sample vehicle, it components equivalent physical parameters are obtained by UG design and testing.

Study指的是作者的研究，而paper是表现这种研究的形式。在写作过程中这是需要注意的，可以用其它词语代替这两个词，比如：in this research和this paper present。
