(2)Original:The affected person may feel chillywhen the body temperature is rising rapidly.Revised:It is when the body temperature is risingrapidly that the affected person may feel chilly.

由此可见,修改后的句子避免了句式的单一和机械化,既能做到充分表达,又会增强文章吸引力。

5交错使用长句和短句长句和短句各有各的优点,各有各的用途。长句成分多,容量大,能把话说得严密周详,使文章条理贯通,适于叙述比较复杂的内容;而短句结构简单,明快活泼,适于日常谈话或人物对话等。在一段文章中,往往要根据内容的需要,长短句交错使用,互相补充,使句子长短不一,从而增强了语言的表现力。在医学英语中包含两个以上从句的长句较多。例如:

(1)Original:These data were reported.Theyindicate that the disease syndromes are transient aspectsof the reaction.The reaction is of the whole individualto his total environment.The relation of the individualto his social environment and his random contact withspecific etiologic factors govern their occurrence.Revised:These data were reported as indicatingthat the disease syndromes are transient aspects of thereaction of the whole individual to his total environment,and that their occurrence is governed as much by therelation of the individual to his social environment as byhis random contact with specific etiologic factors.

(2)Original:Some bacteria produce bodies.Thebodies are called spores.They are much more resistantto high temperatures,drying,and cold.When materialcontaining spores again ids placed in surroundings,which is favorable to bacteria growths,they serve toproduce new organisms.Revised:Some bacteria produce bodies,called spo-res that are much more resistant to high temperatures,drying,and cold than the bacteria and serve to producenew organisms when material containing them again idsplaced in surroundings favorable to bacteria growths.

综上所述,在掌握基本句型的基础上,熟悉英汉两种语言的差别,了解医学英语句法的基本特点,根据表达需要适当地变换一下句式,会增强文章的生动性和可读性。唯有如此,才能使我们的写作做到最有效和最充分的表达。所以教师在进行课堂教学时,要培养学生养成用英语思维来写作的习惯,给予学生更多写和练的机会,让他们能熟练运用以上几种常见的句式变换方法。这样的话,在医学英语写作中,学生们才能写出生动的句子,为整篇文章的表达打好坚实的基础。
