以下句子也有名词化过度使用的问题： This test is performed for the development, application, examination and analysis of the construction material. 可考虑用动词简化为：This test is performed to develop, apply, examine and analyze the construction material. 【例3】Engineers in this research work are very good at doing the experiment and they arehighly professional and efficient. 句子有明显的口语化倾向，而且不够简洁。可以简化为：Engineers in this research are highly professional and efficient, when doing the experiment. 【例4】A significant laboratory construction material’s fire resistance, climate resistance, strength and durability test proved that this kind of material is superior to others. 主语test带了太多的定语。过多的修饰词使得句子冗长呆板。而适当使用介词可以使句子富于变化。因此句子可以改为： A significant laboratory test on fire and climate resistance, strength and durability of a construction material proved that this material is superior to others. 【例5】The brief summary of the experiment clearly demonstrates that forces should be a significantly important factor in bridge design. 形容词和副词也可能出现过度使用，尤其是和它们修饰的部分意思相近时。summary本身就有“简短、简洁”的意思，不需要用brief强调；significantly和important含义类似，可以用一个词significant取代。因此整个句子可以简化为： The summary of the experiment demonstrates that forces should be a significant factor in bridge design. 【例6】The metal of aluminum looks heavy but it is light. the metal of 与aluminum重复，可以删去，译为：Aluminum looks heavy but it is light. 【例7】There are three engineers in charge of the project. 在科技英语写作中，一般没有必要使用there be结构。省略这一结构可使句子更紧凑。 建议修改为：Three engineers are in charge of the project.
