前段时间一个 native speaker 和我们讨论下面两个说法应该是用哪个,parameter 的名字应该是放在前面还是后面的问题。
1. The xxx paramenter has been introduced in this release.
2. The parameter xxx has been introduced in this release.
很多中国工程师给的 input 都是用的第 2 种,老外说他们的习惯其实是第一种,如果用第二个,就应该在参数名 xxx 前后加上逗号。The parameter xxx 并不是他们习惯的用法。同理,不会说 Click the button Next. 而是说 Click the Next button.
总结了一下,正确的写法可以是:
1. The xxx paramenter has been introduced in this release.
2. The paramenter,xxx,has been introduced in this release.
3. A new paramenter (xxx) has been introduced in this release.
