为什么需要降重英文摘要?
学术论文的原创性至关重要。许多学术期刊和学位机构使用查重系统(如Turnitin)检测论文的重复率。即使是在摘要部分,过高的重复率也可能导致论文被退回或质疑学术诚信。因此,有效降低英文摘要的重复率是学术写作的重要环节。
提示: 不同机构对重复率的要求不同,通常要求全文重复率低于10%-15%,摘要部分要求更严格。
降重英文摘要的实用技巧
1. 同义词替换 (Synonym Replacement)
使用意义相同或相近的词汇替换原文中的关键词。
原句: This study investigates the effects of climate change on coastal ecosystems.
改写: This research examines the impacts of global warming on shoreline environments.
改写: This research examines the impacts of global warming on shoreline environments.
2. 句式重构 (Sentence Restructuring)
改变句子结构,如主动语态变被动语态,或调整句子成分顺序。
原句: We conducted experiments to validate the proposed model.
改写: The proposed model was validated through a series of experiments.
改写: The proposed model was validated through a series of experiments.
3. 概念转述 (Paraphrasing)
用自己的话重新表达原文意思,而不仅仅是替换词汇。
原句: The results demonstrate a significant correlation between air pollution and respiratory diseases.
改写: Findings indicate that there is a strong link between poor air quality and illnesses affecting the respiratory system.
改写: Findings indicate that there is a strong link between poor air quality and illnesses affecting the respiratory system.
4. 拆分或合并句子
将长句拆分为短句,或将多个短句合并为复合句。
- 拆分: "The experiment was successful, and the data supported our hypothesis." → "The experiment achieved its goals. The collected data provided support for our hypothesis."
- 合并: "The sample size was small. This limits the generalizability." → "The small sample size limits the generalizability of the findings."
5. 改变词性
将名词变为动词,形容词变为副词等。
原句: The analysis shows a rapid increase in temperature.
改写: The data analysis reveals that temperatures are rising rapidly.
改写: The data analysis reveals that temperatures are rising rapidly.
可使用的工具
虽然人工改写最可靠,但以下工具可作为辅助:
- Thesaurus.com: 查找同义词和近义词
- Grammarly: 检查语法并提供改写建议
- QuillBot: AI驱动的改写工具(需谨慎使用,避免语义改变)
- 学术查重系统: 如Turnitin、iThenticate(如学校提供)
重要提醒: 工具只能作为辅助,最终必须由作者亲自审阅,确保改写后的摘要准确传达原意且符合学术规范。
注意事项
- 保持原意的准确性,不能为了降重而扭曲事实
- 确保语言流畅自然,避免生硬拼凑
- 专业术语通常不能随意替换
- 最终务必进行查重检测确认效果
- 遵守学术诚信,避免抄袭
