论文润色 ‖ 别让用词混淆变成习惯，SCI论文写作so easy！
对于非英语母语的科研小伙伴来说，确保一篇SCI论文的用词准确、内容清楚、逻辑清晰，是一件很不简单的事情。尤其是一些SCI新手，由于英语水平一般，经常会遇到如何使用某个词汇的问题，语法上的错误也会出现不少，而这些错误的使用会使读者感到困惑或是误导他们。
英语当中许多的词汇或者短语听起来都一样，但表述的意思却完全不同。如果没有正确使用，可能会使原本合理的表达变得看起来是错误的。因此，用词混淆不可忽视！
小编列举了一些容易混淆的词汇或短语：
1.Number vs Amount
amount 是用在不可数名词上，像是钱、信息、时间等。
例句：We received an enormous amount of help from our university.
number 用于可数名词，像是工作、样本、机器等。
例句：I had a small number of specimens left.
number 和 amount 的使用是根据所形容的名词是否可数，因此彼此间并无法相互替代。
2.Accord vs accordance
accord即协议。
例如：The Paris Accord is a climate agreement.
accordance意指一致性。
例如：The enzyme levels in the HeLa cells were in accordance with previous studies.
3.hypothesis Vs theory
hypothesis是根据知识与经验的猜想，尚未经过测试或证明。
例句：His hypothesis was that giving his students less work would increase their test scores.
theory 是已经被重复测试并有证据支持的科学思想。
例句：Scientists hold the theory of evolution in high regard.
4. As a result vs Based on the results
as a result 表示由于，用于表达一事件是另一项事情的起因。
例句：The results of the experiment were inconclusive. As a result, the research had to be repeated.
based on the results 和 the results revealed是表示根据特定结果得到的。
例句：Based on the results of the experiment, we concluded that bats are nocturnal creatures.
5. Farther vs further
farther指的是物理距离
例如：The restriction fragments of BamHI migrated farther than those generated by SacI,
further则指的是无法测量的距离。
例如：Further study is needed to understand the mechanism underlying the virus’ entry into the host.
6.Old vs Original
old是指属于过去的一段时间，现在一般已经不使用的，像是“一首老歌”或“旧衣服”
例句：Some old theories suggested that the earth was flat.
original 是指同类中的第一个或被复制的第一个版本，
例句：The team replicated the original research to confirm its validity.
7. Induce vs deduce
Induce意思是基于观察形成普遍原理，
例如：Based on close observation of the flora and fauna of the Galapagos Islands, Darwin induced his theory of evolution,
deduce意思是基于普遍原理的使用得出结论。
例如：We were able to deduce that the genes would be closely related between the two species of fly based on the theory of evolution.
