使用冠词是英语的特点，中文没有相应的字词。
我们写SCI 论文时，容易出现的冠词问题是：a、 an 容易漏掉； 定冠词 the 用多了。
（1） 1、There has been increase in loss of agricultural land.
宜改为：There has been increase in the loss of agricultural land.
2、Stresses at various locations in crank are calculated by using sets of unit load cases applied to single throw FE model.
宜改为：Stresses at various locations in crank are calculated by using sets of unit load cases applied to a single throw FE model.
（2）定冠词用多了的情况，如：
The alcohol is produced by the fermentation of the grains like corn and wheat.
alcohol 和 grains 都是泛指，不需要加定冠词 the。
宜改为：Alcohol is produced by the fermentation of grains like corn and wheat.
（3）在题目中，除非是第一个词，不然冠词不要大写。如：
The Dependence of Crystal Growth on the Solvents.
今日一句：
“人是唯一能追问自身存在之意义的动物。这是人的伟大之处，也是人的悲壮之处。”
