英文摘要中語態和時態的用法

導語：英文摘要中語態和時態的用法一文來源于網友上傳，不代表本站觀點，若需要原創文章可咨詢客服老師，歡迎參考。

英文摘要的字數大多數期刊規定不超過250個詞，內容應與中文摘要對應。醫學論文中，一般少用第一人稱和主動語態，多用第三人稱和被動語態，用以體現敘述客觀事實。所用時態需與事情發生時間一致，敘述基本規律時可用現在時，敘述研究對象、方法和結果時，用過去時。舉例如下。 Objective:ThepurposeofthisstudywastodeterminewhetheraninhospitaltransportableCTscannercanprovidediagnosticbrainimagesandtocomparethequalityoftheseimageswiththosefromaconvertionalfixed?platformCTscanner.

上面是AJR(美國放射學雜志)中一段完整的英文摘要，從中可以看出其特點：①用詞簡練、準確；②時態為過去時；③不用第一人稱，多用被動語態；④方法和結果中強調統計方法及數據。對母語非英語的作者來說，撰寫英文摘要的質量好壞直接與作者的英文水平有關，在這方面，只有多閱讀英文文獻，才能提高英文寫作水平，從而寫出高質量的英文摘要。
