"你的论点太主观了!"——这是我在都柏林大学交完第一篇教育学论文后,导师批注里最扎心的一句话。
? 别再用'我觉得'开场了!
刚来爱尔兰时,我习惯性地在essay开头写:'I think climate change is very serious.' 结果被标注:Avoid first-person perspective in academic writing.
✅ 正确打开方式是:
- ❌ I believe → ✅ It can be argued that...
- ❌ In my opinion → ✅ Evidence suggests that...
- ❌ I found out → ✅ The data indicates...
? 语气不能“满”也不能“空”,得恰到好处
爱尔兰教授超爱用hedging language(缓和语)。直接说'This proves...'会被认为太绝对,容易踩雷。
? 拿 Trinity College 的作业范本举例:
| 场景 | 不推荐表达 | 推荐表达 |
|---|---|---|
| 提出观点 | This shows clearly that… | This may suggest that… |
| 总结结论 | We know for sure that… | It could be concluded that… |
? 词汇选择要“冷”不要“热”
比如你写‘移民政策太糟糕了’——直接用 'terrible' 或 'awful',老师会皱眉:too emotional and informal.
? UCD 写作中心给出的标准替换清单:
- 'bad policy' → 'ineffective policy implementation'
- 'a lot of people' → 'a significant proportion of the population'
- 'big problem' → 'major challenge' or 'critical issue'
? 亲测有效Tip:把都柏林城市图书馆的 'Academic Phrasebank' 打印出来贴书桌!每天背3句,两周就能写出地道论文风。
