profound是什么意思

論文寫作可能是英語精進的最難關之一。要掌握這項高級寫作技能，需要有完美的英語的語法，精準的詞匯和對主題深刻的理解。

另外，論文寫作還是一種專門的文體（正式和專業(yè)性），這一點對于英語非母語的作者來說可能比較難拿捏（甚至對英語母語的作者也一樣很難)。

想要提升學術英語寫作，其中一個方法就是學習一些有用的固定搭配，這樣一來文章就會顯得更自信、更專業(yè)，論文的專業(yè)度和正式性恰到好處。

下文我們會列舉50個最有用的論文寫作固定搭配，附有定義和例子，全都取材于真實的學術論文。

學習要點：將下列固定搭配用到你寫的文章中去。想一想語法上對不對？內(nèi)容上說不說得通？把自己寫的句子和下面的例子比較下，看看用得合不合適。
