词汇用的好，作业交得早。

今天就来看看学术写作中有哪些让你可以早交作业的词汇吧。

Reporting Verbs

在之前的一篇 《气死你老师的100种方式》中，我们曾经提到过：外部资源的使用是学术写作无比核心的特征。

在英文的学术写作中，当我们想要针对某个话题表达一些独特的理解和看法时，需要充分使用外部学术资源来让读者相信或认同我们的观点。并且为了学术严谨，避免存在抄袭剽窃的嫌疑，我们必须在文中和文末详细标注出资源的原出处（In-text citation & Reference list）。

所以当我们想表达某一作者观点时，其中一种表述方式就是：“谁”  “说了”  “什么”。

其中这个 “说了” 在学术写作中，我们把它叫做 Reporting Verbs。

通过使用Reporting Verbs，我们不仅可以评论别人的作品，也可以表述我们自己对于其他人作品的观点或情绪，如：同意、反对、或者中立。然而，为了更加准确地表达或解释作者的观点，我们需要使用一个正确并且合适的Reporting Verb来表述。

那么，对于Reporting Verbs，我们应该如何用相对学术的方式来表述呢？

Say？

Write？

State？

究竟什么样的 “说了” 在你的文章中更合适？并且看上去更学术，更高级呢？
