COMPONENTS OF THE DISCUSSION
- 使用第一人称 "I found that " “we conclude that”
What are the essential features of a good discussion? The main components will be provided if the following injunctions are heeded.
- try to present the principles, relationships, and generalizations shown by the results. and bear in mind, in a good discussion, you discuss—you do not recapitulate—the results.
试着展示结果所显示的原则、关系和概括。记住,在一次好的讨论中,你会讨论-而不是重述-结果。
- point out any exceptions or any lack of correlation and define unsettled points. never take the high-risk alternative of trying to cover up or fudge data that do not quite fit.
指出任何例外或相关性的缺乏,并定义未确定的点。永远不要冒高风险,试图掩盖或捏造不完全合适的数据。
- show how your results and interpretations agree (or contrast) with previously published work
展示您的结果和解释如何与先前发表的工作相一致(或相反)。
- don’t be shy; discuss the theoretical implications of your work, as well as any possible practical applications
不要害羞,讨论你的工作的理论意义,以及任何可能的实际应用。
- state your conclusions as clearly as possible
尽可能清楚地陈述你的结论。
- summarize your evidence for each conclusion. or, as the wise old scientist will tell you, “never assume anything except a 4-percent mortgage.”
为每个结论总结你的证据。或者,正如这位睿智的老科学家会告诉你的那样,“除了4%的抵押贷款之外,永远不要假设任何事情。”
