Quote Integration

Quote integration embeds selected source language in context, grammar, citation, and analysis so that it advances the writer’s argument.

引文整合把经过选择的原文放入背景、句法、引用与分析中，使它真正推进作者论证。

Four-Part Pattern

set-up -> grammatical lead-in -> selective quotation + citation -> interpretation

• Identify the speaker, situation, and relevance.
• Make the quotation fit grammatically into your sentence.
• Quote only the language whose exact wording matters.
• Explain how that language supports, complicates, or changes the claim.

A dropped quotation forces the reader to infer who is speaking, what the passage means, and why it appears. Citation alone does not repair that logical gap.
