名词短语修饰中的单复数问题与介词的重要作用

【摘要】:此外,无论核心名词是复数还是单数形式,名词组合中用作修饰的名词都使用单数形式。举个绝对的例子:Many female Ph D-level Chinese English physical science researchers...关键词是researchers,前面挂了过多名词修饰语,应该改写为:Many female researchers in England,of Chinese ethnic origin,with Ph D degrees and working in physical science,...2.介词名词短语介词的作用并不只是把词汇相互连接成短语,也赋予了短语特别重要的含义。

1.名词组合

一个复合名词词组的中心含义通常是由最靠词组后边的“核心”名词来决定的。例如,circuit(电路)、series circuit(串联电路),以及metal series circuit(金属串联电路)的中心含义都是由最后这个核心名词circuit给出的,前面的名词series和metal都是它的修饰名词。所以,题目中词语的排序不同,所强调的重点往往也不同。为了达到科技论文题目简明的目的,论文作者在采用组合关键名词的方法来构建论文的题目时,必须注意这一点。

此外,无论核心名词是复数还是单数形式,名词组合中用作修饰的名词都使用单数形式。例如,metal series circuits。

要避免使用过多的名词词组作为定语修饰一个名词。举个绝对的例子:

Many female Ph D-level Chinese English physical science researchers...

关键词是researchers,前面挂了过多名词修饰语,应该改写为:

Many female researchers in England,of Chinese ethnic origin,with Ph D degrees and working in physical science,...

2.介词名词短语

介词的作用并不只是把词汇相互连接成短语,也赋予了短语特别重要的含义。我们在使用时必须特别注意。例如,evidence for something指的是对说明某事物或某事件存在的旁证或依据,而evidence of something指的是某事物或某事件的实际证据。又如:shape changes of nanoparticles during oxidation and reduction cycles不同于shape changes of nanoparticles in oxidation and reduction cycles。前者用了介词during,强调的是测定氧化还原的原位过程中纳米微粒的形状变化,而后者用了介词in,有可能指分别测定氧化还原前后纳米微粒的形状而得到的形状变化。

介词名词短语不仅在科技论文的题目中常用,也在论文的其他部分中广泛地使用,建议各位论文作者认真参阅有关的科技英语语法中对介词名词短语所作的分析介绍。[29]
