Pay attention to the lexical differences between Chinese and English idioms

Their basic meanings, idioms and typical expressions.

(Always on,1993: 44; Li Guangling, 1999).

(The first line of the paragraph is indented by 4 English characters; Marking method of brackets: the author appearing in brackets must form a one-to-one correspondence with the references after the text; Pay attention to punctuation, time, page number, etc. between one or more authors. In addition, the authors of Chinese references should appear in pinyin form, and Chinese surnames cannot appear; Parentheses appear before punctuation marks). Similarities between English Idioms and Chinese Idioms

In English, ... it can be clearly seen in the following examples: the examples in this paper are arranged in the order of (1) and (2) ... until the last example; And ①, ② … are the upper labels of footnotes or endnotes) (text chapter number: chapter number: 1. , 2., 3., …; Section number: 1. 1. 1.2…, 2. 1, 2.2 …; The section number is:1.1.1.1.2 ... At all levels below this section, the Greek numerals are arranged in the order of brackets, such as (i) and (ii)...;; Then use letters and brackets, such as (a), (b), …; The title of each chapter is in the upper left box, and the small number four is bold; The title of each part (and the following part) should be in the upper left box, with the small number four, not bold but italicized; All chapter titles are on a separate line, with no punctuation at the end)

In short, Feng (1998) found the following problems.

Example (note another way to write brackets in this sentence):

A long English thesis (such as English graduation thesis) usually needs a title page, and its writing format is as follows: the distance between the first line title and the top of printing paper is about one-third of the total length of printing paper, the distance between the first line title and the bottom line (usually in the center) is 5cm, and the third and fourth lines are the author's name and date respectively (both in the center). If the English thesis is written by a student for a course, the academic title and name of the teacher (such as Dr/Professor C Prager) and the number or name of the course (such as English 734 or English novel) should be marked between the author's name and date. When printing, if there is no special requirement, each line should be double-spaced, that is, interlaced printing, with a line spacing of about 0.6cm (the line spacing of other parts of the paper is the same).

As far as students are concerned, if English papers are short, they can also type the contents of the title page in the upper left of the first page of the text instead of making the title page (and outline page). The first line is the author's name, about 2.5cm from the top of the printing paper. The following lines are the teacher's title and surname, course number (or name) and date in turn; The left side of each row is aligned up and down, leaving a margin of about 2.5cm (the same below). Then there is the title and body of the paper (between the date and the title, between the title and the first line of the body, you only need to print alternately, without leaving more blanks). 1. English abstract is a short article, which uses a written language that conforms to English grammar and provides a summary of the content of the paper. The content is basically the same as the Chinese abstract, but it is not necessary to be completely sentence by sentence.

2. English titles, abstracts and keywords form a page (1 page is enough), which is placed after the Chinese abstract page.

3. English fonts and line spacing: "Times New Roman" is used uniformly for "Western fonts", with 1.5 times line spacing.

4. English topic: Bold with the third word.

5. English abstract: "abstract" is capitalized, the fourth word is used, and it is bold.

The English abstract uses the fourth word to express the specific content.

6. English keywords: "keywords" In the top case, use the fourth word and make it bold.

It is an important link to use the fourth word for each keyword and correctly quote the original text of the work or the exposition of experts and scholars. We should not only pay attention to the organic unity of citation and paper, that is, its logic, but also pay attention to the standardization of citation format (that is, English paper references). Quote other people's opinions directly or indirectly. In any case, the author of the paper must indicate the author and source of the quoted text. The usual practice in American academic circles is to indicate the author and source of the quotation in brackets after the quotation. According to the different situations cited in this paper, some standard formats are described as follows. If the quotation is less than three lines, the quotation can be organically integrated into the paper. For example, Arnold's personal desire shifted from his legacy, which led to "the familiar picture of Victorian Manalong in a strange universe" (Roper 9).

Here, the Roper in brackets is the last name of the author of the citation (full name is not required); Arabic numerals are the page numbers of quotations (don't write P.9); There should be a space between the author's surname and the page number, but punctuation is not needed; The period should be placed after the second parenthesis. If the quotation is more than three lines, the quotation should be separated from the main body of the paper, as shown in the following example: Whitman has proved himself to be an explosive representative and pioneer of the Democratic Party and his "democratic prospect".

It is admirable and distinctive, and if one feels sorry, Whitman can't imagine it.

Extreme social crisis, that's for sure.

No society can tolerate it.

Citizens can't find refreshments.

Optimistic democratic idealism. (Datong 165)

There are two points to note in the format here. First, the first letter on the left of an English paper has ten spaces, and the spacing is different, that is, it should be typed from the eleventh box; Second, quotation does not need quotation marks, and the ending period should be marked after the last word. If you need to insert notes in the quotation to explain some words, use square brackets (not parentheses). For example, Liang An pointed out that "he (Charles Darwin) has always been an important factor in the debt between evolution and biblical creativity" (9). It is worth noting that in this example, the surname of the author of the quotation has already appeared in the introduction sentence, so it is only necessary to indicate the page number of the quotation in brackets. If there are words unrelated to the paper that need to be deleted in the quoted text, they need to be omitted. If ellipsis appears in quotation marks, use three points, if it appears at the end of quotation marks, use four points, and the last point indicates a period, and put it after the second parenthesis (generally speaking, ellipsis should be avoided at the beginning of quotation marks); There should be a space between dots and letters, or between dots. For example, mary shelley hated tyranny and regarded the poor as poor victims of the social system, and looked down on the rich and people of noble birth ... with undisciplined SCOR and contempt ... (Nietzsche 43). If the quotation comes from multiple volumes, the author's surname and page number should be indicated in addition to the volume number. For example, Professor's History of English Literature aims to provide China readers with a "historical overview of English literature from the early days to the 20th century" (Chen, 1: I).

1 in brackets is the volume number, and the lowercase Roman numeral I is the page number, indicating that the quotation comes from the preface of 1 volume (preface, preface, introduction, etc. Page numbers are mostly expressed in lowercase Roman numerals). In addition, the history of English literature is underlined; The standard format is: the title of the book, including the title of the work published in the form of a book (such as Paradise Lost), must be underlined or italicized; The titles of other works, such as poems, essays, short stories, etc., are all marked with double quotes, such as "To Autumn" and the previous "Democratic Prospect". If an English paper quotes two or more works by the same author, it should indicate the author, the page number of the citation and the name of the work. For example, Bacon condemned Platoya as an "obstacle to science" (Farrington, philosophy 35).

Farrington pointed out that Aristotle's father Nico Marcos is a physician, and he may train his son to engage in medicine (Aristotle 15).

These two examples quoted two works by Farrington respectively, so the titles of the cited books are marked in their own brackets to avoid confusion. The names of the two books are abbreviations (if the titles are too long, they should also be abbreviated when indicated in brackets), and the full names are Founder of Philosophy of Science and Philosophy of Francis Bacon and Aristotle. The original poem is often quoted in poetry evaluation, and its quotation format is shown in the following example. When Beowulf dived up to the surface of the water, "rough waves and large areas of water/were washed away ..." (1.1620-21).

The poems quoted here are separated by slashes, and there must be spaces between slashes and letters and punctuation marks before and after; 1 in brackets is the abbreviation of line; 2 1 need not be written as 162 1. If the quoted poem exceeds three lines, it is still necessary to separate the quoted poem from the main body of the paper (see item 4, point 2). The author of the paper must provide a detailed publication of all the quotations in the paper at the end of the text, that is, the document catalogue page. American colleges and universities generally call this page a work citation, and its format should pay attention to the following points: the directory page should be separated from the text, and another page should be printed and placed after the text. The directory page should be regarded as a page of an English paper, and the author's surname and page number should be indicated in the upper right corner in the order of page number of the paper; If the entry is more than one page, the first page does not need to be marked with the author's surname and page number (but the number of pages must be counted), and the remaining pages are still marked with the author's surname and page number in order. The cited title works are about 2.5cm from the top of the printing paper, and still 0.6cm from the first line of the first item. The distance between items and rows is also 0.6cm, so there is no need to leave more blanks. The order of each content is author's surname, first name, work name, publishing house name, place of publication, year of publication, starting and ending page numbers, etc. Entries should be arranged in strict alphabetical order according to the author's surname, but each entry should not be coded, and books should not be separated from magazines, periodicals and other entries. The first line of each item needs to be printed in the top space, and it needs to be indented by 5 spaces when it is returned to distinguish it from other items. Some special projects are listed below and briefly explained for readers' reference.

Two or more books by the same author.

The names of newspapers and magazines need to be underlined, but there is no need for punctuation after them. 62 is the volume number or issue number. If there are both volume numbers and period numbers, they should be separated by periods. Such as: (3.3); 1984 is the year of publication and should be put in brackets.

Arnold, Marigan. A Study of willa cather's Nostalgia Complex, published in Research on March 23-24, page 28. Monthly or bimonthly must also indicate the date of publication; 23-24, 28 means that the first part of the article is published on pages 23 and 24, and the latter part is transferred to page 28.

Gnassincia. "When the gorilla speaks." Washington Post

Five: English paper abstracts

Abstract of an English paper, also called abstract, is an important part of the paper. It is a short article, which concisely and accurately describes the important contents of the document, without comments or supplementary explanations. It should be self-evident, and it has the same main information as the literature, that is, you can get important information without reading the full text. The abstract is usually placed after the title and at the beginning of the article. After a paper is published, its abstracts are often collected by the literature retrieval system. English abstracts are generally 200-300 words, and there are Chinese abstracts consistent with the views expressed in English abstracts.
