一、Commonmistakes in the title

1.Unnecessary words(词语冗余)

误：TheUse of MR for Microimaging of Benign and Malignant Nodes in the Necks ofPatients

正：MRMicroimaging of Benign and Malignant Nodes in the Neck

分析：正句比误句简洁明了。误句中使用了一些不必要的词，如“The Use of”, “of Patients”.

2.Misplaced modifiers(错位修饰语)

Misplaced： Mechanism of Suppression of Nontransmissible Pneumonia in MiceInduced by Newcastle Disease Virus.

Comment:“Unless this author had somehow managed to demonstrate spontaneous generation,it must have been the pneumonia that was induced and not the mice.”

Corrected： Mechanism of Suppression of Nontransmissible Pneumonia Induced inMice by Newcastle Disease Virus

Analysis：误句的错误在于中心词的后置修饰语位置错误，导致标题意思改变。

Misplaced： Isolation of Antigens from Monkeys Using Complement-FixationTechniques.

Comment：What or who is using complement-fixation techniques, “isolation ofantigens”, “monkeys” or … ? Adjectives(especially the “using”participles) should be near to the words they modify.

Corrected： Isolation of Antigens from Monkeys with Complement-FixationTechniques.

3. Nounclusters(名词堆叠)

误：Electro-acupuncturetherapy enhances injured spinal cord tissue neurotrophine-3 content andpromotes transplanted neural stem cells survival and immigration in rat spinalcord injury

正：Electro-acupunctureenhances the content of neurotrophine-3 and promotes the survival andimmigration of transplanted neural stem cells in injured rat spinal cord tissue

分析：误句是作者为追求简洁而将过多用于修饰的名词堆叠在一起，从而导致标题意思不清楚，增加读者理解困难。
