Phil: 在学习英语的过程中,准确表达研究过程和结果非常重要。除了常用的"do research",我们还可以使用一系列动词更精确地描述研究过程。例如,"carry out research","undertake research"和"conduct research"都表示进行研究,它们的意思基本相同,可以根据语境选择使用。例如,我们可以说'No one has carried out research on this area before.'或者'We're conducting the first major research on this topic.',又或者'She's undertaking some important research.' 这些表达方式使我们的语言更加丰富多彩,也更准确地传达了研究的进行方式。 在讨论研究结果时,我们需要表达研究的依据和结论的确定性。我们可以用"This research is based on data from our experiments."来说明研究的基础。而对于研究结论,我们可以根据确定性的程度选择不同的动词。如果研究结果非常确定,我们可以用"proves","shows"或"reveals"来表达,例如'My research proves that my theory is correct.'或者'It reveals the importance of my ideas.'。如果研究结果的确定性较低,则可以使用"suggests",例如'Her research suggests that things are much more complicated than we thought.' 总而言之,灵活运用这些动词可以使我们更有效地表达研究过程和结果,使我们的学术表达更加精准到位。
