12個獲得學術認可的論文撰寫技巧之十二：列印乾淨整齊的論文並繳交

A completed academic paper is like any other printed communication: Until it is submitted to a publisher (or professor or agent), it is still a private document. It has no public standing.
完成並印出的學術論文就像一般的印刷品，在交給出版商（或教授、經紀人）之前，都只是私人文件，不具公眾地位。

QUESTION: Figures of speech seem to me to be out of place in an academic paper. Such a paper needs clarity and conciseness and figures of speech are neither, and may actually hamper readership of a paper. Am I wrong to believe this?
我認為學術論文不該使用比喻，因為學術論文應該簡潔明瞭，但比喻卻不是，可能妨礙閱讀。這樣說對嗎？

“The laboratory team approached the project as if it were an onion, systematically exploring its multiple facets till their eyes were red with exhaustion.”
實驗室研究團隊處理問題就像是處理洋蔥，系統性地探討各個層面，直到眼睛疲憊發紅。

洋蔥這種蔬菜最明顯的特質，就是具有許多層次，每撥開一層，就會看到下面一層。

This is not academic writing 學術文章不是這麼寫的

【寫作技巧】

This paragraph has much to recommend it, including directness, effective description and correct punctuation. However, it begins to fall apart with the second word—Korea.
本文有許多可取之處，例如行文直截了當、描述得當，標點符號正確。然而，文章從第二個字 “Korea” 就洩了氣；該字用來修飾下一個字 “temple”，所以應該用 “Korean” 才對。

QUESTION: My professor faulted me for using rhetorical questions in my paper. I believe that the questions moved the paper along and served the reader well. What can I do to convince the professor of this?
我的教授認為不該在論文中使用反詰問句，但我認為反詰問句能推動文章發展，有助閱讀，我該怎麼說服教授？

“When the butterfly landed on the petri dish, its wayward flight around the laboratory apparently at an end, it folded up its stained-glass wings—like sails poised for another liberating breeze.”
「就在蝴蝶降落在培養皿上，不再繞著實驗室隨意飛行，合攏彩色玻璃般的雙翅，就像靜止的船帆，等待另一股啟程的微風。」
