书籍介绍
这本书最戳中非英语母语科研人的，是它把'写作是一种说服'这件事讲得极其透彻。作者反复提醒：读者听不到你的语气，也打不出红色字体和感叹号，你能用来'强调'某项结果的唯一手段，就是花多少笔墨去写它——多写即重要，略写即边缘。同样的句子，说两条曲线'相似'还是'显著不同'，会直接操纵读者对数据的印象。书中还坦诚教你如何用措辞'稀释'论断、规避责任，以及'a/the'、时态、被动主动背后隐藏的逻辑。它不提供华丽文风，而是把引言、方法、结果、讨论、摘要拆解成可复制的模板，让工科生也能照方抓药。如果你曾苦于'实验做得出、论文写不清'，这本小书会重塑你对'准确'二字的理解。

精彩摘录
- "If you describe all your results in equal detail they will seem to have the same level of importance. This is unlikely to be the case: some of your results are probably more significant than others, some are typical, and some are key results whereas others may be of more peripheral interest. However"
- "There are some grammar issues that are worth noting. When you use key words in constructing the title, be careful about creating complex compound nouns. The conciseness of a compound noun is very tempting for non-native writers and English has a high level of tolerance for such nouns, but make sure "
- "Use of 'a' and 'the': Use THE if or when you and your reader both know which thing/person you mean. e.g. I had a cheese sandwich and an apple for lunch. The sandwich was fine but the apple had a worm in it. Use THE if there is only one possible referent. e.g. Government policy is committed to protec"
- "The language you use to describe your results has as much power as the tables and graphs themselves, perhaps even more. Look at the two curves in the figure below:"
- "When you comment on this figure, if you write As can be seen in the figure, the two curves are very similar, the reader will focus on the similarity between the curves, and they will therefore seem similar. However, if you write As can be seen in the figure, the two curves are noticeably different, "
- "and you can use more than one in a sentence, depending on how ‘weak’ you want your claim to be — but be careful; if you add too many, the sentence may not mean very much at all: The evidence points to the possibility that in many cases, x can contribute to certain types of y."
- "Make sure that you understand the difference between the explanation of a result (why it occurred as it did), the evaluation of a result (what the numbers mean) and the implication of a result (what the result suggests or implies)."
- "Saying what your results are is the central function of the Results section; talking about what they mean is the central function of the Discussion."

读过的人都说好，现在我特别感谢高中英语老师，她肯定仔细研究过这本书，要不然这么多地方我上哪似曾相识去啊
看过原著再来对比这本译作，翻译得十分到位，也加入了译者的一些经验和体会，如果排版和美工能更接近原著就完美了
拯救英语废，适合当参考书
确实非常经典，翻译的也不错，只可惜好多地方都买不到，可以经常翻翻，很多模版，单词很实用，对于时态的讲解也让人茅塞顿开。十分推荐！
非常有用，博导要求看的书，先看了译版。
