Dear Sir:

I was pleased to see your ad in Chengdu Shang Bao on May 10, 2007 for a sales engineer. In July 1 I will receive my Bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering from SWJTU, and I would like to be considered for the post.

信息性文摘(Information Abstract)应该用简洁、明确的语言(一般不超过150 words)将论文的"目的(Purposes)"，主要的研究"过程(Procedures)"及所采用的"方法(Methods)"，由此得到的主要 "结果(Results)"和得出的重要"结论(Conclusions)"表达清楚。如有可能，还应尽量提一句论文结果和结论的应用范围和应用情况。也就是说，要写好英文摘要，作者必须回答好以下几个问题：

1) 本文的目的或要解决的问题(What I want to do?)

2) 解决问题的方法及过程(How I did it?)

10

3) 主要结果及结论(What results did I get and what conclusions can I draw?)

4) 本文的创新、独到之处(What is new and original in this paper?)

英文摘要各部分的写作

英文摘要的写作并没有一成不变的格式，但一般来说，英文摘要是对原始文献不加诠释或评论的准确而简短的概括，并要求它能反映原始文献的主要信息。

1. 目的（What I want to do?）

主要说明作者写作此文的目的，或本文主要解决的问题。一般来说，一篇好的英文摘要，一开头就应该把作者本文的目的或要解决的主要问题非常明确地交待清楚。

2. 过程与方法(How I did it?)

主要说明作者主要工作过程及所用的方法，也应包括众多的边界条件，使用的主要设备和仪器。在英文摘要中，过程与方法的阐述起着承前启后的作用。开头交待了要解决的问题(What I want to do)之后，接着要回答的自然就是如何解决问题(How I did it)，而且，最后的结果和结论也往往与研究过程及方法是密切相关的。

3. 结果和结论(What results did I get and what conclusions can I draw?)

结果和结论部分代表着文章的主要成就和贡献，论文有没有价值，值不值得读者阅读，主要取决于你所获得的结果和所得出的结论。因此，在写作结果和结论部分时，一般都要尽量结合实验结果或仿真结果的图、表、曲线等来加以说明，使结论部分言之有物，有根有据；同时，对那些看不懂中文的英文读者来说，通过这些图表，结合英文摘要的说明就可以比较清楚地了解论文的结果和结论。也只有这样，论文的结论才有说服力。

4. 如何提高英文摘要的文字效能

为了提高文字效能，应尽量删去所有多余的字、句。

5. 关于英文摘要的句法

三个一般原则：

1) 尽量用短句(use short sentences)。

2) 描述作者的工作一般用过去时态(因为工作是在过去做的)，但在陈述由这些工作所得出的结论时，应该用现在时态。

3) 一般都应使用动词的主动语态，如：写成A exceeds B比写成B is exceeded by A更好。

原文：

How New York Became America's Largest City

In the 18th century New York was smaller than Philadelphia and Boston. Today it is the largest city in America. How can the change in its size and importance be explained？

To answer this question we must consider certain facts about geography，history，and economics. Together these three will explain the huge growth of the most famous city in America.

11

The map of the Northeast shows that four of the most heavily populated areas in this region are around seaports. At these points materials from across the sea enter the United States，and the product of the land are sent there for export across the sea.

Economists know that places where transportation lines meet are good places for making raw materials into finished goods. That is why seaports often have cities nearby. But cities like New York needed more than their geographical location in order to become great industrial centers. Their development did not happen simply by chance.

About 1815，when many Americans from the east coast had already moved toward the west，trade routes from the ports to the central regions of the country began to be a serious problem. The slow wagons of that time，drawn by horses or oxen，were too expensive for moving heavy freight very far. Americans had long admired Europe's canals. In New York State a canal seemed the best solution to the transportation problem. From the eastern end of Lake Erie all the way across the state to the Hudson River there is a long strip of low land. Here the Erie Canal was constructed. After several years of work it was completed in 1825.

The canal produced an immediate effect. Freight costs were cut to about one-tenth of what had been. New York City，which had been smaller than Philadelphia and Boston，quickly became the leading city of the coast. In the years that followed，transportation routes on the Great Lakes were joined to routes on the Mississippi River. Then New York City became the end point of a great inland shipping system that extended from the Atlantic Ocean far up the western branches of the Mississippi.

The coming of the railroads made canal shipping less important，but it tied New York even more closely to the central regions of the country. It was easier for people in the central states to ship their goods to New York for export overseas.

Exports from New York were greater than imports. Consequently，shipping companies were eager to fill their ships with passengers on the return trip from Europe. Passengers could come from Europe very cheaply as a result.

Thus New York became the greatest port for receiving people from European countries. Many of these people remained in the city. Others stayed in New York for a few weeks，months，or years，and then moved to other parts of the United States. For these great number of new Americans New York had to provide homes，goods，and services. Their labor helped the city be come great.

摘要

How New York Became America's Largest City

New York was once smaller than Philadelphia and Boston，but now it is America's largest city because of geography，history and economics.

New York was located at the seaport where materials were imported to the US and the products of the US were sent abroad across the sea. The city was further developed when the Erie Canal was completed in 1825.This linked Lake Erie to New York via the Hudson River and the cost of transporting goods to those who had settled inland was cut down. In addition，the Great Lakes were soon linked to the Mississippi. Later，railroads tied New York closer to the central states，whose goods were exported via New York. Fewer goods were imported，so cheap passages were available from Europe. New York became the main port for receiving Europeans，many of whom stayed in the city and helped it become great.
