Using English to Define
英语文献翻译文集文章，均为中英双语，为了方便阅读对照，均为逐句翻译。如有错误或者建议还望再下方评论区指正。
文章正文：
- A good definition includes the general classification of a term plus the specific characteristics that differentiate the term from other members of its class.
翻译：一个好的定义包括术语的一般分类以及将属于与同类中的其他成员区分开的特定特征。
- A typical definition formula can be expressed as Term = Class + Characteristics.
翻译：一个通用的定义公式可以表示为 “术语 = 类 + 特性”。
- Notic that the characteristics which provide detailed information tend to appear as a relative clause beginning whith which, that, who and so on, or to take the form of a present/past participle phrase, an infinitive phrase or a prepositional phrase.
翻译：注意提供详细信息的特征往往以关系从句的形式出现，该相对从句以which，that，who和 so on开头，或者采取现在/过去分词短语， 不定式短语或者介词短语的形式。
成功需要不断的努力！
- Present simple tense is used in definitions.
翻译：一般现在时用于定义。
- A detailed definition often includes function and examples apart from class and characteristics. For example:
翻译：一个详细的定义通常包括功能和示例，而不包括类和特征。比如：
| Term | CLASS | CHARACTERISTICS |
|---|---|---|
| (a) Wireless power is | the transmission of electrical energy | from a power source to an electrical load without man-made conductors. |
| (b)Cloud computing refers to | application and services | which are offered over the Internet from data centers all over the world |
| (c)A dog whistle is | a type of whistle | that emits sound in the ultransonic range, which people cannot hear but dogs and cats can. It is used in the training of dogs and cats. |
