对于研究生们来说,最忐忑的时候恐怕就是把很烂的论文交给老师然后等待成绩发布的时候吧?国外对烂论文有个英语说法,就是academic chicken(学术鸡)。 The phrase “academic chicken” refers to academic work of poor quality in which you are essentially daring your professor or teacher to give you a bad grade. “学术鸡”指的是质量很差的学术论文,如果交上去你的教授很可能给你个差评。 Example: I just submitted the worst paper I have ever written. It is nothing short of academic chicken. 我刚把自己写过的最差的论文交上去了。那篇论文是个不折不扣的“学术鸡”。 |
