英语写作中“大量的”“重大的”“显著的”substantial、considerable、significant的用法

一般"大量的""重大的"会用a great number of 、a great amount of 、a plenty of 、great等,这些表达都过于trivial ,用好substantial、considerable、significant 会对写作增色不少。

一、对于可数事物,用a considerable/substantial number of,例如:

A considerable number of GPUs are used in training the Large Model.(大量的GPU用于训练大模型。)

A substantial number of users outsource their data to the cloud. In this context, data auditing especially data integrity auditing has turned out to be a crucial requirement for users. (大量的用户将数据存在云上。在这种背景/情形下,数据审计特别是数据完整性审计就成为用户的关键需求。)

注意,虽然有a number of improvements/achievements,但不要用a considerable/substantial number of形容improvements 、achievements 等,那样有点过于夸张了。

二、对于improvement、achievement(一般是单数,有时复数形式)等、以及不可数事物,直接用substantial、considerable和significant 形容,例如:

Considerable/Substantial/Significant achievement in deep learning like image recognition and natural language processing opened the door to the AI era. (深度学习的大量/重大/显著成果(图像识别、自然语言处理等)打开了AI时代的大门。)

Considerable/Substantial/Significant improvement of performances in terms of ......renders the system applicable eventually.(......方面性能的大量/重大/显著改进使系统最终进入了实用。)

Considerable/Substantial/Significant investments are required for the ambitious plan. (这个雄心勃勃的计划需要大量投资。)

A considerable/substantial/significant decline in quality led to a disastrous result.(质量的大幅下滑导致了灾难性的后果。)

The institution received considerable/substantial/significant financial support but failed in its efforts to realize controllable nuclear fusion. (该机构获得大量资金支持,但是实现受控核聚变的努力还是失败了。)

As illustrated in Fig.5, the proposed scheme achieves considerable/significant improvement in efficiency of communication and computation compared with existing schemes.(如图5所示,所提出的方案在通信、计算效率方面比已有方案有显著改善。)

++The launch of the AI product Sora received considerable/substantial/significant attention++. (Sora的推出引起了广泛关注。)

上句中received 可以用attracted 、earned 代替。

三、避免在科技写作中使用enormous、huge和immense,这些一般是口语中带夸张语气的单词,和口语中absolutely等语气一样。
