The first experiment consists of stroking a rubber rod with some fur, and then in turn touching two small pith balls suspended from strings with the rod. The pith balls then swing apart, indicating that a repulsive force now acts between them. Next, we stroke a glass rod with a silk cloth and touch two different suspended pith balls in turn with it. Once more the pith balls swing apart, indicating a repulsive force. Now we bring near each other one of the pith balls touched with the rubber rod and one touched with the glass rod; they swing toward each other this time, indicating an attractive force.VI、1.The results obtained indicate that these two methods are consistent in essence, with the exception that they have their own specific application conditions.2. A new algorithm has been designed which will be able to maintain the survival of useful copies, thus greatly reducing the number of packet copies in a network.3.

A robot is a special kind of electronic device.7. This scientist said, “Electrons move round the nucleus.”8. The current starts flowing at the very moment we close the circuit.9. There are a few exceptions to this rule.10. They have been designing a new type of computer these six months.练习9II、1. The problem was not to be solved until a completely new method wasintroduced.2. The values of most things must be converted from decimal to binary before computations can begin.3. A body at rest will never move until force compels it.4. Nearly 100 years passed before the existence [presence] of subatomic particles was confirmed by experiment [experimentally].5. Diode D conducts the moment [the instant; directly; immediately] the input voltage becomes more negative than V.6. The first time they designed an electronic computer, scientists encountered many difficulties.7. The year this device was invented, World War II broke out.8. Small as they are, atoms are made up of still smaller particles.9. The voltage is always there while the generator is operating.10. As current flows, part of its energy will be lost.11. These two resistors should be selected [chosen] so that the transistor can operate normally.12. The body is in such a state that it can do work.III、1. The relation that voltage is the product of current and resistance applies to all the dc circuits.2. The fact that everything around us is matter is known to all.3. The discovery that magnetism can produce current is extremely important in the field of electricity.4. There is no doubt that the magnetic field is produced by some sort of circulating current.5. An equation is an algebraic statement that two algebraic expressions are equal.6. There is evidence that the mass of a body is the function of the body.7. The question now arises whether this result applies to all cases.8. In this case there is no guarantee that the series is convergent.9. There is a growing awareness that these techniques are very useful.10. One of [Among] the most noteworthy achievements at that time was the realization that light consists of electromagnetic waves.11. The advent of electronics is reckoned from the discovery that the current in the vacuum diode can be controlled by introducing a third electrode.the fact that there are many free electrons in conductors.13. There is no evidence that energy can be created or destroyed.14. This series of experiment leads to the result that with a constant applied [external] force, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass.15. Besides [In addition to] the fact that the properties of the material should be included in the analytical model, we must take other factors into account. IV、Nearly all substances fall into two major [broad; general; main] categories: conductors and insulators. Metals, many liquids, and plasmas are conductors, while nonmetallic solids, certain liquids, and gases are insulators. Just as the rate of flow of water depends upon the difference of height between them, the rate of flow of electric current between two points depends upon the difference of potential between them. The statement that voltage is proportional to current multiplied by [times] resistance is called Ohm’s law, since it was first verified experimentally by the German physicist Georg Ohm.V、pared with the theory presented in the literature published abroad in recent years that the polar axis should be in parallel with the earth’s axis, the method given in this paper will lead to (a) higher accuracy.2.These features make it difficult for electronic counter-measure systems to intercept, analyze and jam this kind of signals.3. By the family of curves is meant a specified set of curves which satisfy given conditions.4. The existence of and the ability to control these phenomena make those devices possible.5. In this case it is necessary to use as much energy of signals as possible.6. The variation of the number of the filter’s teeth has a greater effect on the performance of its passband than the variation of its dimensions.7. Scalar detection will result in the loss of some phase information.8. Fig. 6 shows the schematic diagram of measuring scatter parameters by the natural parameter transformation method.练习10II、1. Now it remains to be determined when the series converges.2. It is clear from Dubamel’s Theorem that this limit exists.3. How large this error is depends upon several [a few] factors.4. It is a matter of indifference which point of view is adopted.5. It should be emphasized that these definitions may be used for angles of any magnitude.6. It is assumed that the student has a basic understanding of mechanical drawing.7. It follows from Maxwell’s hypothesis that whenever there is a change in an electric field, a magnetic field is produced.8. It happens that the overall phase shift is zero.9. It does not matter whether the magnet is moved in this case.10. It makes no difference which unknown is selected [chosen].11. Temperature determines in what direction the transfer of heat will take place.12. Which equation we should use depends on what data we are given [know] in the problem.13. It is now a well-known fact that all matter consists of tiny particles.14. It has been found that the direction of an electric current is opposite to that of the flow of electrons.III、1. It is necessary to determine under what conditions this equation holds [applies; is valid; is true].2. This device is just what we need.3. Now we summarize what we have proved so far [up to now].4. What a generator does is to change mechanical energy into electrical energy.5. What this chapter describes [What is described in this chapter] is of great importance.6. This magnetic force is what makes the electric motor run.7. Matter is what can occupy space.8. This is what happens in a transistor.9. What we have discovered in this experiment is the entirely new realm of electrical phenomenon.10. This direction is opposite to what has been assumed.11. What is spoken of as absolute zero is the temperature 273o C below zero.12. Television and telephone communications are linking people to a globalvillage, or what one writer calls the electronic city.13. Magnitude, direction, and place of application are what we call the three elements of a force.14. These numbers constitute what is known as the real number system.15. After a chemical change, a substance is changed to something different from what it was.16. In what follows, we acquaint ourselves with some basic concepts.IV、It is said that Galileo found, after a number of experiments, that all bodies near the earth fall toward the earth with the same acceleration. This acceleration is what we call the acceleration of gravity. Galileo’s work was especially significant because, for the first time, experimental results were accepted despite the fact that they contradicted well-known established ideas, in this case the notion that heavy things “should” fall faster than light ones. What deserves to be commented on Galileo’s work is that his conclusion that all things fall with the same constant acceleration is only an idealization of reality.V、1. An x-band wave-guide test system is shown in Fig.7. [或:Fig. 7 shows …].2. This method lowers the requirement for the hardware of a sample network.3. On the basis of the above analysis of the decomposition of the polynomial, a novel configuration results. [或:The above analysis of the decomposition of the polynomial results in a novel configuration.]4. This can satisfy the system’s input and output rates with as low a systolic frequency as possible.5. This paper discusses the design guideline for and the structure of the system, with a deep inquiry into model testing.6. Finally, an analysis of packet loss probability is made by computer simulation.7. The sparse ratio of the resulting impedance matrix is as high as 40%.8. The Qin Yong-brand whole milk powder is made from high-quality fresh milk, white sugar and trace elements needed by the human body by scientific methods and Denmark’s advanced technology.The Qin Yong-brand whole milk powder contains calcium, protein and varied vitamins, and it can be mixed with lukewarm sanitary drinking water into [或:… can be blended with lukewarm sanitary drinking water to produce]。

– In this paper, we have given a reason that is why the competitive ability of the national firms is weak. Because the non-national firms can get very cheap labor, under the same technical and economical conditions and the same cost, a non-national firm can produce more output than a national firm does, so it can get much more profit. In this way, the competitive ability of the non-national firm is stronger than the national firms.
科技英语作文写作技巧和方法
科技英语作文写作技巧和方法Certainly, I will provide you with an English essay on the topic of "Techniques and Methods for Writing Technical English Essays" without any additional instructions or requirements beyond what you have provided.Writing technical English essays can be a challenging task, but with the right techniques and methods, it can be a rewarding experience. The key to successful technical essay writing lies in understanding the unique characteristics of this genre and adopting a structured approach that ensures clarity, precision, and effectiveness in conveying complex technical information to the reader.One of the fundamental aspects of technical essay writing is the importance of organization and structure. Unlike creative or persuasive essays, technical essays typically follow a more formal and structured format. This format often includes an introduction that provides an overview of the topic, a body that delves into the technical details and analysis, and a conclusion that summarizes the key points and implications. Maintaining a clear and logical flow throughout the essay is crucial, as it helps the reader navigate the content and understand the key concepts being presented.Another critical element in technical essay writing is the use of precise and unambiguous language. Technical essays often deal with complex subject matter, and it is essential to use terminology and vocabulary that is specific to the field being discussed. Avoiding the use of jargon or overly technical language can be a challenge, but it is important to strike a balance between providing sufficient detail and ensuring that the content is accessible to the intended audience. Additionally, the use of clear and concise sentence structure, as well as the careful selection of appropriate grammar and punctuation, can greatly enhance the overall clarity and readability of the essay.Attention to detail is another hallmark of successful technical essay writing. Technical essays often require the inclusion of various types of supporting evidence, such as data, graphs, tables, or references to relevant literature. Ensuring the accuracy and reliability of this supporting information is crucial, as it lends credibility to the arguments and conclusions presented in the essay. Furthermore, proper citation and referencing of sources is essential, as it demonstrates the writer's understanding of the existing knowledge in the field and their ability to build upon it effectively.One of the key challenges in technical essay writing is the need to effectively communicate complex technical concepts to a potentially diverse audience. This may include readers from differentbackgrounds, levels of expertise, or areas of specialization. To address this challenge, technical essay writers must develop the ability to translate technical jargon into more accessible language, while still maintaining the necessary level of detail and rigor. This may involve the use of analogies, examples, or visual aids to help the reader better understand the technical content.Additionally, technical essay writing often requires the ability to analyze and interpret data, as well as to draw logical and well-supported conclusions from this information. This involves the careful evaluation of evidence, the identification of patterns and trends, and the ability to synthesize this information into a coherent and persuasive argument. Strong critical thinking and analytical skills are essential in this regard, as they enable the writer to move beyond simply presenting facts and towards a deeper understanding and interpretation of the technical subject matter.Finally, the process of revising and editing technical essays is crucial to ensuring the overall quality and effectiveness of the final product. Technical essay writers must be willing to critically examine their work, identify areas for improvement, and make the necessary revisions to enhance the clarity, precision, and coherence of the essay. This may involve reorganizing the structure, clarifying the language, or strengthening the supporting evidence. Effective revision and editing are key to producing a high-quality technicalessay that effectively communicates the writer's technical expertise and insights to the reader.In conclusion, technical essay writing is a complex and multifaceted skill that requires a combination of strong organizational abilities, precise language use, attention to detail, effective communication strategies, and critical thinking skills. By mastering these techniques and methods, writers can produce technical essays that are not only informative and technically accurate but also engaging and accessible to a wide range of readers. With practice and dedication, the art of technical essay writing can be developed and refined, enabling writers to effectively convey their technical expertise and insights to their intended audience.。

三、名词从句 在这一方面应重点掌握以下两大方面的一些句型: 1.采用形式主语it的一些句型 (1)It+连系动词+表语+主语从句。 有趣的是每个函数都可以用一些简单的函数来近似。 It is interesting that every function can be approximated by simple functions. 那个现象是如何发现的仍然难是个谜。 It is still a mystery how that phenomenon was discovered.
14.自从那时以来,一直有着在其它行星(planet)上是否存在生命(life)的各种推测 (speculation)。
15.这是由于(due to)在电路上存在电容(capacitance)的原因导致的。 16.除了材料的性质应该包括在分析模型之中外,我们还必须把其它因素考虑进去。 17.“跟随器”(follower)这个术语来自于这么一点:输出电压十分紧密地跟随着信号电 压。 18.利用该曲线通过(2.1)这一情况,我们可以求出这个常数来。 19.卡诺图(the Karnaugh map)的有用性(usefulness)在于相邻的方格(adjacent cell)能够看 得见地(visually)加以组合起来(group)来消除(eliminate)多余的变(redundant)量。 20.这一系列的实验得出了这样的结果:若外力恒定,则加速度(acceleration)与质量成反 比。
(3):as:它引导的从句中的动作一般与主句的动作
均表示持续一段时间,它们同时发生。 As radio waves travel the surface of the earth, part of its energy will be lost. 当无线电波沿地球表面传播时,要损失掉一部分能量。
added. 由此我们得知转一整圈就有2π弧度。 It follows that there are 2πradians in one complete rotation.
2.what从句的句型 (1)表示“什么,多大,哪个(种)……”(即疑问代
词的词义)。 我们必须懂得函数斜率的含义(是什么)。 We must understand what is meant by the slope of a function. 现在我们能确定在该点电场强度为多大。 Now we can determine what the intensity of the electric field is at that point.
在前面几章我们并没有使用三角函数、反三角函数或
对数函数,因为其各自的导数均为一种特殊的形式。
2.表示“当……时候”的连词 以下三个词在科技文中使用时常见有如下的基本区别
(虽然它们时常相互换用): (1)when:它引出的从句表示的动作往往为一点, 而这时主句的动作也多表示为一点。 When a rocket is launched from the earth’s surface, the thrust of its engines must exceed its weight for it to rise from the ground.
(2)It+被动语态+主语从句。 大家知道,分子是由原子构成的。 It is known that molecules are made up of atoms.d be noted that Ohm’s law applies only to
(2) for:由它引出的句子使人觉得所述的理由只是一
种补充说明而已,它是一个等立连词,引出的句子为 并列句而不是状语从句,它只能放在前一句的后面。 偶尔也有单独成为一句的。 In previous chapters we did not use the trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, exponential, or logarithmic functions, for the dirivative of each of these is a special form.
前面所讲的内容为这个定理提供了基础,虽然不能当
做为一种证明。
(2)though:它一般用于非正式的口语或书面语中。该
从句可采用特殊词序(在科技文中一般是作表语的形容词 放在though之前)。 Important though this law is, it is seldom used in practice. 该定律虽然重要,但在实践中很少使用。 (3)as:用于正式的文体中,从句一定要采用特殊词序 (在科技文中主要是作表语的形容词放在as之前)。 Small as electrons are, they play an important role in the formation of electric current. 电子虽小,但它们在形成电流方面起了重要的作用。
练习七
一、将下列句子译成英语 注意以下句中状语从句的正确使用:
1.一切物体不论其温度有多低,均发射(emit)热射线(heat rays)。 2.尽管(as)原子(atom)很小,它们是由更小的单元(unit)构成的。
3.角的测量是独特的(unique),在于单位是无量纲的(dimensionless)。
(4)while:它引导的从句侧重于对比;当主句和从
句的句型相同时,一般把while译成“而”字(若这时 while从句放在主句前的话,则把“而”字译在主句之 前)。 While x can only lie between -1 and 1, there are an infinite number of values of y for every value of x. 虽然x只能处于-1和1之间,但对应于每个x值却有无限 个y值。 Men are more susceptible to heart disease, while women are more prone to develop diabetes. 男人易患心脏病而女人易得糖尿病。
能量是做功的能力,而功率则是单位时间内所做功的
二、同位语从句 1.两个常用的固定句型 (1)毫无疑问——there is no doubt(question) that… (2)有证据表明——there is evidence that… 2.动宾译法的句型 现在人们越来越认识到,这些技术在其它一些领域中也是很有 价值的。 There is growing awareness that these techniques are also of value in some other areas. 主要的成就之一是(人们)认识到了材料的性质应包括在分析 模型中。 One of the main achievements is the recognition that properties of a material should be included in the analytic model.
metallic conductors. 现在有待于查明这个等式何时成立。 It remains now to be seen when this equation holds.
(3)It+不及物动词+主语从句。 两个数相加的顺序是没有关系的。 It does not matter in which order two number are
3.表示“虽然”的连词 在科技文中常用的有以下几个: (1)although:它一般用于正式场合,同时可用于各
种文体。 The foregoing provides a basis for this theorem, although it cannot be considered as a proof.
12.这些实验得出(lead to)了这样的结果:若外力不变,加速度(acceleration)与质量 (mass)成反比(be inversely proportional to)。 13.两千多年前希腊人(the Greeks)就知道了每样东西都是由很小的微粒(particle)构成的 这一概念(idea)。
注意在以下句中正确使用同位语从句: 9.所有的迹象(indication)表明,计算机的价格(price)将进一步下跌。 10.没有证据表明能量能被产生(create)或被消灭(destroy)。
11.在这种情况下并不能保证(assurance)该电路就调谐(tune)于那个频率(frequency)上。
3.由名词从句转变成的同位语从句 在那颗行星上是否有水这个问题有待讨论。 The question whether there is water on that planet will
be dicussed. 用户们得不到保证:这种器件能使用多久。 The users have no guarantee how long this kind of device will be operating.
At this time the kinetic energy approaches infinity,
while the potential energy approaches the minimum. 这时动能趋于无穷大,而势能则趋于最小值。 Input A goes low while input B remains high. 输入A变成了低电位而输入B则保持高电位。 While energy is the capacity to do work, power is the quantity of work in unit time. 量。
