例如下面就是一段的有关水龙头工作原理的英文描述、其中就用了“定义＋主要组成部分”这样的句式： A water tap is a device for turning on and off a flow of water. Its most important parts are a rod with a handle on the top and a washer which is fixed to the bottom of the rod. The metal parts of a water tap are usually made of brass because brass resists corrosion. The washer is made of a flexible material such as rubber or plastics. 汉译英课堂练习： 冷凝器（condenser)就是通过去除（remove）蒸汽的潜热（latent heat）并使其液化的特殊换热装置。冷凝器中潜热是被称为冷却剂(coolant)的低温液体吸收而除去，由于冷却剂的温度明显上升，所以这装置实际上也是加热器。 冷凝器可以分为两类。第一类称作壳－管式(shell-and-tube)冷凝器，这类冷凝器中，冷凝的蒸汽和冷却剂被换热管的换热面隔开。第二类称作接触式冷凝器，这类冷凝器中，冷却剂和蒸汽（通常二者都是水），是混合在一起成为一股物流流出冷凝器。 参考译文： Condensers are special heat-transfer devices used to liquefy vapors by removing their latent heats.The latent heat is removed by absorbing it in a cooler liquid called the coolant. Since the temperature of the coolant increases noticably in a condenser,the unit also acts as a heater . Condensers fall into two classes. In the first ,called shell-and-tube condensers,the condensing vapor and coolant are separated by a tubular heat-transfer surface. In the second, called contact condensers , the coolant and vapor streams,both of which are usually water,are physically mixed and leave the condenser as a single stream. Sichuan University Professional English  --for Chemical Engineering Chapter 4 Professional English Writing Section 3: Sentence patterns in Professional English 前面考察了专业英语中的一些特殊语法现象后，再让我们看一看究竟在专业英语中有些什么样的常用句型。了解这些知识对阅读和翻译尤其是汉译英是大有助益的。 一、 “make＋名词＋形容词”的句型 这是专业英语中常用的一个句型。后面的形容词在语法上为补语。 This makes the problem easy. This makes the metal hard. 但是上述两句话中的形容词部分也可以是比较级。于是，上述两句就变成了： This makes the problem easier. This makes the metal harder. 在这种以形容词的比较级做宾语补语的句子中，如果这一形容词有相应的动词形式的话，还可以写成第三种形式。如上述，第2句便可改译成： This hardens the metal. 这种带有词尾-en的动词都有“使……
