8. “The plasma medium is complicated in that the
charged particles are both affected by external
electric and magnetic fields and contribute to
them. The resulting self-consistent system is
nonlinear and very difficult to analyze.
Furthermore, the interparticle collisions, although
also electromagnetic in character, occur on space
and time scales that are usually much shorter than
those of the applied fields or the fields due to the
average motion of the particles.”

microbalances.
Thin films were deposited by conventional vapor deposition
methods.
All experiments were conducted at room temperature.
The experiments reported in this paper involve
the use of XeF2, F2, and Cl2.”

15. The plasma medium is complicated in that the charged particles are both affected by
external electric and magnetic fields and contribute to them.
The interparticle collisions, although also electromagnetic in character,
occur on space and time scales that are usually much shorter than those of
the applied fields or the fields due to the average motion of the particles.
Interparticle collisions are also electromagnetic in character.
They occur on space and time scales that are usually much shorter than
(the space/time scales of) the electromagnetic fields applied (externally) or
(the space/time scales of) the electromagnetic fields due to the average motion of
the particles.

17. Most of our writings are papers & patents.
Don?t worry about the rhetoric.
? 論?や特許などにはこなれた英語はなじまない。
? 簡単な構?の組み合わせで書けるはず。
? 書けないポイントが現れたら、論理の?躍を疑う。
? 科学?書は基本的な論理の積み重ねのはず
? 英?法の厳密性が良い?向に働く。
? 主語の省略が不可であること
? ?較の対象は?致していないといけないこと
(例: Comparing A of B to that of C… )

18. 段落 vs. Paragraph
? 英語の paragraph は、?本語の「段落」よりも
意味のまとまりと構造のルールが厳密
Paragraph
Sentence

Main idea
Fact C Logic(A,B,C)
19. ?本語の「段落」になれた?徒たちに
英語の “paragraph” を意識させるための
指導ガイドラインより
1. A paragraph is a completely different unit of organization from danraku.
2. The topic sentence makes an assertion and
supporting sentences explain or prove that assertion in detail.
3. All of the sentences in a paragraph discuss the same idea.
If the writer wants to discuss a new idea, start a new paragraph.
4. Make an outline with a topic sentence and main supporting sentences before
starting to write a draft. This will help the writer to keep coherence and unity.
5. Emphasize the aim of English essay writing is to effectively convey
information to readers rather than to move readers' feelings.
