200篇论文中总结的最常见错误-respectively
2025-04-11

Respectively是重新提及二个以上的人或者事物，但提及的顺序是严格按照之前提及或者设定的顺序。如果给定两个列表，respectively将按照给定的次序对输入顺序进行配对。在使用respectively时，作者可以同时给出大量信息而不会让读者感到费解，也不用写几个短句。Respectively一般用在句末。无论什么情况，要用到respectively就表明信息被提及的顺序对于句子意思的表达很重要，否则它不会被用到。

例如：Bobby, Nicole and Daren wore red, green and blue coats, respectively.

List 1 List 2

Bobby wore a red coat.

Nicole wore a green coat.

Daren wore a blue coat.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Respectively在句中一般如何摆放？大家看看以下例子：

错误表达 Equations 2～6 can be respectively linearizedas:……（equations given）…13

正确表达 Equations 2～6 can be linearized as:……（equations given）…， respectively.

错误表达 The weightsof the two experts are respectively 0.600 and 0.400.19

正确表达 The weightsof the two experts are 0.600 and 0.400, respectively.





相信这个比较简单，大家都能明白，那么，难的来了-----------------------------------------




在形容词短语中，respectively放在哪里才正确？尤其是当这个短语连接另一个列表时，更容易搞混。Respectively在句中的摆放原则是：应放在形容词短语之前，并尽可能靠近第二个列表的结尾。请看以下例句：
正确：
The times until uptake of the modified, unmodified, and control antigens were 1, 2, and 5 h, respectively, in a 37°C incubator.
（改良、未改良和对照抗原在37°C保温箱中的摄入时间分別是1、2、5小时。）
错误：
The times until uptake of the modified, unmodified, and control antigens were 1, 2, and 5 h in a 37°C incubator, respectively.
＊例句中的in a 37°C incubator为形容词短语。
或者，出于对论文风格考虑，句子也可能这么写：
正确：
The times until uptake of the modified, unmodified, and control antigens were respectively 1, 2, and 5 h in a 37°C incubator.
这里的respectively也是尽可能接近第二列表，才能厘清两个列表之间的关系。另外，当respectively放在第二列表前面时，respectively的前后则不用加逗号。






好，这个看明白了吗？咱们继续--------------------------------------------------------------






如果一個句子不只有两个平行列表，respectively又该如何摆放？
此时，为了使文意更清晰，respectively应该放在第二列表的前面。请看以下例句：
正确：
The times until uptake of the modified, unmodified, and control antigens were respectively 1, 2, and 5 h at 37°C and 1.5, 3, and 5 h at 40°C.
（改良、未改良和对照抗原的摄入时间在37°C时分別是1、2、5小时，在40°C时分別是1.5、3、5小时。）
错误：
The times until uptake of the modified, unmodified, and control antigens were 1, 2, and 5 h at 37°C and 1.5, 3, and 5 h at 40°C, respectively.
错误：
The times until uptake of the modified, unmodified, and control antigens were 1, 2, and 5 h, respectively, at 37°C and 1.5, 3, and 5 h, respectively, at 40°C.

在这里，一个列表（即：改良、未改良和对照抗原）与两个列表呈现平行关系（即：1、2、5小时，以及1.5、3、5小时）。上面第一句清楚表示出列表的平行关系。相比而言，读者可能看不懂第二句中列表之间的关系；而第三句出现两次respectively，过于累赘，不利阅读。

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
大家都会说，respectively在科技论文中太重要了，根本就离不开啊，所以每写一个句子就想着把这个词带上，以显得自己水平高。而实际上，这个词也不能够误用和滥用的，在没有任何作用的情况下，宁可不用。以下就举几个例子说明：

为了表达某一特定的顺序，在句中插入 Respectively ，但是其实要表达的顺序其实在句中其他地方已经暗含了，或者这种次序没有必要表达，因为它并不能增加句子的信息量。

错误表达 If both the core technology score and core quality score of a bottleneck process are, respectively, below certain scores, then we refer to strategy 1, otherwise, if either is,respectively, above a certain score, then we refer to strategy 2. Similarly,if the core technology and core quality are, respectively, above a certain score, then we refer to strategy 3, otherwise, if either is, respectively, below a certain score, then we refer to strategy 4.

正确表达 If both the core technology score and corequality score of a bottleneck process are below certain scores, then we referto strategy 1, otherwise, if either is above a certain score, then we refer tostrategy 2. Similarly, if the core technology and core quality are above acertain score, then we refer to strategy 3, otherwise, if either is below acertain score, then we refer to strategy 4.

错误表达 Then, the rows of vortex due to both of the long and short blades are transformed into two singularities on the ζ -plane and integrate the induced velocity along the blades respectively.

正确表达 Then, the rows of vortex due to both of the long and short blades are transformed into two singularities on the ζ -plane and integrate the induced velocity along theblades.

除了刚刚提到的这些，有时候句中的使用的 'respectively' 不知道要表明什么意思

错误表达 The dynamic characteristics of a rotor with asymmetric stiffness or with initial warp have been studied before respectively.

正确表达 The dynamic characteristics of a rotor with asymmetric stiffness or with initial warp have been studied before.

错误表达 The inlet and outlet temperature of the aircooler were measured using two thermocouples respectively.

正确表达 The inlet and outlet temperature of the aircooler were measured by using two thermocouples.

respectively的用法，大家都学会了吗？
