此处仅翻译要点，请务必阅读原文：https://rusling.research.uconn.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/609/2017/02/ac2000169.pdf 

• Rule 1. Never explain the objectives of the paper in a single sentence or paragraph and in particular never at the beginning of the paper.

• 规则 1. 切勿在一句话或一个段落中解释论文的目的，特别是切勿在论文开头解释。

• Rule 2. Similarly, never describe the experiment(s) in a single sentence or paragraph and never at the beginning. Instead, to enhance the reader’s pleasure of discovery, treat your experiment as a mystery, in which you divulge one essential detail on this page and a hint of one on the next and complete the last details only after a few results have been presented. It’s also really fun to divulge the reason that the experiment should successfully provide the information sought only at the very end of the paper, as any good mystery writer would do.
  

• 规则 2. 同样，切忌用一句话或一段话来描述实验，也不要在开头就描述。相反，为了增加读者的发现乐趣，可以把实验当作一个谜，在这一页透露一个基本细节，在下一页透露一个提示，只有在介绍了一些结果后才完成最后的细节。在论文的最后才透露实验成功提供所需信息的原因也非常有趣，任何优秀的推理作家都会这样做。

• Rule 3.  Diagrams are worth a thousand words, so in the interest of writing a concise paper, omit all words that explain the diagram, including labels. Let the reader use his/her fertile imagination.

• 规则 3.  图表胜过千言万语，因此，为了撰写简洁的论文，请省略所有解释图表的词语，包括标签。让读者发挥自己丰富的想象力。

• Rule 4. Great writers invent abbreviations for complex topics, which also saves a lot of words. Really short abbreviations should be used for very complex topics, and more complicated ones for simple ideas.

• 规则 4. 伟大的作家会为复杂的主题发明缩写，这样也能节省很多字数。非常复杂的主题应使用非常简短的缩写，简单的观点应使用更复杂的缩写。

• Rule 5. In referring to the previous literature, be careful to cite only the papers that make claims that would support your own, especially those that contain little evidence for the claim, so that your paper shines in comparison.

• 规则 5. 在参考以前的文献时，要注意只引用那些能支持你自己的主张的论文，尤其是那些没有什么证据支持你的主张的论文，这样你的论文才能在比较中脱颖而出。

• Rule 6. It should be anathema to use any original phrasing or humor in your language, so as to adhere to the principle that scientific writing must be stiff and formal and without personality.

• 规则 6. 严禁在语言中使用任何新颖的措辞或幽默，以恪守科学写作必须呆板、正式、没有个性的原则。

• Rule 7. Your readers are intelligent folks, so don’t bother to explain your reasoning in the interpretation of the results. Especially don’t bother to point out their impact on or consistency with other authors’ results and interpretation, so that your paper can be an island of original thinking.

• 规则 7. 你的读者都是聪明人，所以不用费心解释你解释结果的理由。特别是不要费心指出它们对其他作者的结果和解释的影响或一致性，这样你的论文就能成为原创思维的孤岛。
