牛津大學(xué)客座教授: 數(shù)據(jù)說話

在論文的開頭用數(shù)據(jù)說話，也是常用的一種寫作方法。數(shù)據(jù)作為論據(jù)對于讀者更有震撼力，因為有詳實的數(shù)據(jù)支撐，讀者更容易對論點產(chǎn)生信任感，下面舉例說明：

Pedestrian injury frequently results in devastating and costly injuries and accounts for 11% of all road user fatalities. In the United States in 2006 there were 4,784 fatalities and 61,000 injuries from pedestrian injury, and in 2007 there were 4,654 fatalities and 70,000 injuries. In Canada, injury is the leading cause of death for those under 45 years of age and the fourth most common cause of death for all ages Traumatic pedestrian injury results in nearly 4000hospitalizations in Canada annually. These injuries result from the interplay of modifiable environmental factors.

行人傷害經(jīng)常導(dǎo)致毀滅性和代價高昂的傷害，占所有道路使用者死亡人數(shù)的 11%。 在美國，2006 年有 4,784 人死亡和 61,000 人因行人受傷而受傷，而 2007 年則有 4,654 人死亡和 70,000 人受傷。 在加拿大，傷害是 45 歲以下人群的首要死因，也是所有年齡段的第四大最常見死因。 外傷性行人傷害導(dǎo)致加拿大每年有近 4000 人住院。 這些傷害是由可改變的環(huán)境因素相互作用造成的。
