一、Commonmistakes in the title
1.Unnecessary words(词语冗余)
误:TheUse of MR for Microimaging of Benign and Malignant Nodes in the Necks ofPatients
正:MRMicroimaging of Benign and Malignant Nodes in the Neck
分析:正句比误句简洁明了。误句中使用了一些不必要的词,如“The Use of”, “of Patients”.
2.Misplaced modifiers(错位修饰语)
Misplaced: Mechanism of Suppression of Nontransmissible Pneumonia in MiceInduced by Newcastle Disease Virus.
Comment:“Unless this author had somehow managed to demonstrate spontaneous generation,it must have been the pneumonia that was induced and not the mice.”
Corrected: Mechanism of Suppression of Nontransmissible Pneumonia Induced inMice by Newcastle Disease Virus
Analysis:误句的错误在于中心词的后置修饰语位置错误,导致标题意思改变。
Misplaced: Isolation of Antigens from Monkeys Using Complement-FixationTechniques.
Comment:What or who is using complement-fixation techniques, “isolation ofantigens”, “monkeys” or … ? Adjectives(especially the “using”participles) should be near to the words they modify.
Corrected: Isolation of Antigens from Monkeys with Complement-FixationTechniques.
3. Nounclusters(名词堆叠)
误:Electro-acupuncturetherapy enhances injured spinal cord tissue neurotrophine-3 content andpromotes transplanted neural stem cells survival and immigration in rat spinalcord injury
正:Electro-acupunctureenhances the content of neurotrophine-3 and promotes the survival andimmigration of transplanted neural stem cells in injured rat spinal cord tissue
分析:误句是作者为追求简洁而将过多用于修饰的名词堆叠在一起,从而导致标题意思不清楚,增加读者理解困难。
