可以认为area field domain是同义词,其中area似最常用。虽然discipline 意思是学科,但也常表达“方向”“领域”,建议写作中适当使用discipline,以体现表达的丰富性。
例句:
In the area/field/domain/discipline of deep learning, novel models are continually being developed.(在深度学习领域,新模型正不断开发出来。)
The academia has focused on this area/field/domain/discipline for more than ten years, but no significant achievements are achieved yet.(学术界已经关注这个方向十多年了,但还没有取得重要进展进展。)
A Phd candidate inevitably faces a question: conducting research in a newly emerging area/field/domain/discipline like deep learning or in a traditional one like signal processing?(博士生总是面临一个问题:是在像深度学习这样的新领域还是在像信号处理这样的传统领域开展研究?)
