Reading for Academic Purposes
Today we will start studying this paper with our classmates.
This section is "reading for academic purposes 3", and the article is "Organization of a Scientific Paper".
This is my group list.
We have divided this section into seven parts.
Reading for the purpose of academic researches requires you to read actively, which actually means a series of things.
Perhaps most importantly active reading means the awareness of the purpose for reading.
"which" replace "read actively"
importantly 修饰全句(modified the whole sentence)
"awareness" means "knowing sth; knowing that sth exists and is important; being interested in sth"
It is important that students develop an awareness of how the paper can be read.
为了学术研究而阅读需要你积极地阅读,这实际上意味着一系列的事情。或许最重要的是,积极阅读意味着对阅读目的的认识。
Far too often students read aimlessly, hoping that the key ideas will somehow "sink in" and then eventually "surface" when they need to.
Having a purpose is another way of saying that you have set goals for your readings.
- far too:非常,极其,后接adj;means "more often" / "usually"
- sink in:slump, subside;If an unpleasant or surprising fact or idea sinks in, you gradually start to believe it, understand it, or realize the effect it will have on you:
The implication took a while to sink in.
- surface:generally speaking,the surface means "the top or outside part of something" / a series of new generation computers produced by Microsoft(which is too expensive for my wallet). but this "surface" is a verb, means "appear" / "show".
- 学生们经常漫无目的地阅读,希望关键的想法会以某种方式“降临”,然后在他们需要时最终能“浮现出来”。
有目的的另一种说法是你已经为你的阅读设定了目标。
In addition to setting goals and purposes for reading, active reading may also involve using the structure of your reading to construct an overview for your reading, which you use to select a focus.
here, this "which" replace the overviewwhich == structure
- 除了为阅读设定目标,积极阅读还要求用你所阅读文献的结构来构建它的概述,你可以用这个概述来选择一个阅读的焦点。
The structures of the reading materials vary almost as much as the readings themselves, but there are some common features associated with various kinds of readings that readers can make effective use of.
- the "be associated with" like "be related to",but the effect is stronger and the usage is more formal.
- 阅读材料的结构几乎与阅读材料本身一样千差万别,但是有一些与各种阅读相关的共同特征,读者可以有效利用。
All of these structures assist the reader in developing an overview of what is about to be read and this allows readers to guide themselves through the text with a focus in mind.
- 所有这些结构都有助于读者对将要阅读的内容有一个大致的了解,这使读者能够在心中有一个焦点的情况下引导自己阅读文章。
The following article will familiarize you with the structure of the scientific papers, and explain the characteristics of each section.
- 以下文章将使您熟悉科学论文的结构,并解释每个部分的特征。
