第一部分
非常长的句子
由于作者经常直接从中文翻译成英文，因此在汉英写作中特别常见非常长的句子。尽管在中文写作中可以接受在一个句子里放置多个支持性想法来展示它们之间的关系，在英语中，主要观点和支持性观点通常被写在不同的句子中。
人们通常可以根据句子长度来判断一个长句——60个单词或更多。然而，即使短句如果包含多个相互矛盾的观点也会显得过长。通过把每个句子的主题控制在1到2个之间可以避免过长的句子。分号应该用在作者真正想要强调思想关系的地方。

According to the characteristic of fan-coil air-conditioning systems, this paper derives the cooling formula of fan-coil units based on the heat transfer theories and puts forward a new method to gauge cooling named Cooling Metering on the Air side, which can monitor the individual air-conditioning cooling consumption during a period of time by detecting the parameters of inlet air condition – temperature and humidity – of the fan-coil air-conditioning system as well as the parameters of inlet cooling water provided by the chiller .

The gear transmission is grade seven, the gear gap is 0.00012 radians, the gear gap has different output values corresponding to any given input value, nonlinearity of the gear gap model can be described by using the phase function method, the existing backlash block in the non-linear library of the Matlab/zdimulink toolbox can be used, the initial value of gear gap in the backlash block is set to zero.
Correct
The gear transmission is grade seven. The gear gap, which is 0.00012 radians, has different output values corresponding to any given input value. The nonlinearity of the gear gap model can be described by using the phase function method. The existing backlash block in the non-linear library of the Matlab/zdimulink toolbox can be used; the initial value of gear gap in the backlash block is set to zero.
另一种经常出现在技术论文中的超长句子是列表中的句子。作者想要给出大量的数据，通常是参数值，并将这些信息放入一个有段落大小的长句子中。然而，给出这种类型和数量的信息的最好方法是将其制成表格（放在一个有项目符号的列表中）。
在一个句子的主要概念的前面，首先说明目的、地点或原因
中国作家往往在一个句子的主题之前，首先陈述目的、地点、原因、例子和条件作为入门元素。然而，这样做的效果是降低了主要思想的重要性，并使读者认为作者是间接的。把主要思想带到句子的开头，然后陈述任何位置、原因等等。
Incorrect
For the application in automobile interiors, this paper studies the nesting optimization problem in leather manufacturing.
Correct
This paper studies the nesting optimization problem in leather manufacturing for application in automobile interiors.
Incorrect
Especially when numerical control (NC) techniques [4] are widely used in industry and rapid prototype methods[5][6] bring a huge economical benefits, the advantage of constructing 3D model[7][8][9] becomes extremely obvious.
Correct

Incorrect
To ensure sheet metal quality as well as assembly quality, CMMs are widely used in automotive industry production.
Correct

将表示时间的短语放在句首的倾向
Incorrect
When U is taken as the control parameter, the BDs for ∆ =0.0, 0.001, 0.005 are shown in Fig. 8.
Correct
Figure 8 shows the BDs for ∆ =0.0, 0.001, and 0.005 when U is taken as the control parameter.
将最重要的主语放在句首，以示强调
Incorrect Based on the triangulation structure built from unorganized points or a CAD
model, the extended STL format is described in this section.
Correct
The extended STL format is described in this section based on the triangulation structure built from unorganized points or a CAD model.
Incorrect
The 3D dentition defect and restoration element models are designed precisely with complicated surfaces
Correct
The 3D dentition defect and restoration element models with complicated surfaces are designed precisely.
‘In this paper’, ‘in this study’
当使用这些短语时会出现两个错误。第一个是过度使用。在一些用中文写的论文中，这些短语每页可以出现两次。在英国本土作家所写的论文中，这些短语主要有两种用途.
1.在引言和结论中强调了论文的内容。
2.在论文正文中，引用作者未完成的工作，如其他期刊文章或标准
因此，如果任何一个短语在一篇论文中出现超过三次，它的使用是值得怀疑的。实际上，读者知道所呈现的作品是由作者写的（除非作者另有说明），所以没有理由重复这些短语。第二个错误更为微妙。这两个短语互换了。
Awkward
In this paper, IDEAS was used to ….
Correct
In this study, IDEAS was used to….
'study' 是作者所做的工作。the paper 是呈现这部作品的方式，也是读者所持有/阅读的内容。请记住，作者也可以使用其他短语，如 ‘in this research’, and ‘this paper present’.
