There is a saying that whoever says the least knows the most.

second, the format of a sentence quoted in an English paper is As an old saying goes+. Quoting other people's views can be quoted directly or indirectly. In any case, the author of the paper must indicate the author and source of the quoted text.

English title method

① English title is mainly in the form of phrases, especially noun phrases, that is, the title is basically composed of one or several nouns plus their prepositional and/or postpositional attributes; The title of phrase type should determine the head word and then modify it before and after. The order of each word is very important, and improper word order will lead to inaccurate expression.

② Generally, you should not use declarative sentences, because the title is mainly used for marking, and declarative sentences are easy to make the title have judgmental semantics, which is not refined and eye-catching. In a few cases (critical, comprehensive and refuting), questions can be used as the title, because questions have exploratory tone and are easy to arouse readers' interest.

③ The English title and Chinese title of the same paper should be consistent in content, but it does not mean that the words should correspond to each other. In many cases, individual immaterial words can be omitted or changed.

④ Foreign sci-tech journals generally limit the number of words of titles, and some stipulate that titles should not exceed 2 lines, and each line should not exceed 42 printed symbols and spaces; Some require the title to be no more than 14 words. These regulations can be used for our reference.
