通过引用、分析国外相关文献,指出英文科技论文或英文文摘中应提倡使用主动语态。国内一些作者的观点,即只能使用第三人称作主语的被动态的说法有失偏颇。理论和实践均证明,科技英文论文和摘要应遵循统一的语法规则和国外通用的表达方式,无须设定特别的规定,使用主动语态是正确并完全可以接受的。 Through the reference and analysis of relevant foreign literature, it is pointed out that the use of active voice should be advocated in English scientific papers or English abstracts. Some domestic authors’ point of view, that is, the passive theory that only the third person can use the subject as a subject is biased. Both theory and practice prove that English papers and abstracts of science and technology should follow a unified grammar rules and foreign common expressions without setting any special regulations. It is correct and completely acceptable to use active voice.
