SCI论文中，要注意某些词语的使用方法与场景。下面将介绍典型单词的使用技巧与方法。
1. 介绍了冠词“a/an/the”的用法，解释了如何根据上下文确定名词的特定性来选择合适的冠词。接下来，文章对“accept/except/expect”这一组词进行了区分，明确了它们各自的含义和使用场合。
2. 还对“acute/chronic”这对形容词进行了解释，它们通常用来描述症状、疾病或状况。此外，文章对“adapt/adopt”这一对动词的使用也进行了阐释，指出了它们在用法上的差异。
3. 接着区分了“affect/effect”这对词，其中“affect”是一个动词，意味着对某事产生作用，而“effect”则是一个名词，表示结果或效果。
4. 还指出了“all of/both of”和“among/between”的使用注意事项，前者强调了“of”是多余的，而后者则解释了两者在比较对象数量上的差异。
5. 讨论了“amount/number”的区别，指出当涉及到可数物品时应该使用“number”，而当表示不可数的量时应该使用“amount”。
Term | Definition |
a/an/the | 定冠词“the”与名词结合使用意味着读者能够识别所指的名词具体是哪个实例。如果不清楚名词具体指的是什么，那么应该使用不定冠词“a”（如果单词以元音或元音音素开头，则使用“an”）。 例如：“The solution was poured into the flask.”只有在之前已经明确指出了那个特定的烧瓶时才能使用。 |
accept/ except/ expect | accept means agree with, except means not including, and expect means anticipate |
acute/ chronic | use these terms to describe symptoms, conditions, or diseases |
adapt/ adopt | adapt, make use of, fit to; adopt, choose, follow, take on. We adapted the methods used by Brown et al. 2001 in rats to apply to mice. We adopted the methods of Brown et al. 2001. |
affect/ effect | affect is a verb that means to “act upon”, as in “This drug affects the central nervous system”; effect is a noun that means “outcome”, as in “The effects of this drug on the central nervous system are not known” |
all of/ both of | of is unnecessary; all or both is sufficient |
among/ between | among is used to compare more than two items, between is used to compare only two items |
amount/ number | Number should be used when the items can be counted, whereas amount should be used to denote quantity. |
