下面是正经的分析
当address作为动词时,Cambridge Dictionary对她的解析是

* to speak or write to someone, or to direct information to someone, or to give a speech to an audience.

她包含的第一个意思可以为“讨论,分析,关注,想办法解决”。相当于“to deal with, to discuss”。一看到这个翻译的时候,是不是已经感觉到这一定是可以在学术论文里面大展拳脚的高端词汇?!而且就表达风格来说,address是个比较正式的单词,可以说非常适合学术论文这种正式语气的场合了。
事实也确实如此,address在英文学术论文里面的使用频率还是比较高的。但是,据学姐超级不完全的统计,很少在中文母语作者的文章中看到她的身影。正如前面所说,我们对她的认识并没有想象中的那么全面。
下面的例子感受一下她在学术论文中的使用。
