在大部分的情况下我们知道何时应该使用大写,比如说人名、地名和句首等。恰当地使用大写可以提升文章的表现力。
如果在符号或者无法大写的词出现在了句首,那么最好是想办法调整句子的结构。
专有名词如以人名命名的术语需要大写。
Down syndrome
Noble agar
Hunter sore
用作派生词或形容词的术语则必不大写。
Gram stain / gram-negative bacteria
Southern blotting / western blot analysis *Southern 是人名,所以大写。
示例

The t test was used for each set of data 【正确】
The pH was carefully controlled. 的表达更胜于 pH was carefully controlled.
α-Toulene was used 【可以】
The solvent α-toulene was used 【正确】
