先问个问题。。可以 hardly develop effectively这么用么?


143. No field of study can advance significantly unless it incorporates knowledge and experience from outside that field.

Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.

What prompt study to advance significantly? Borrowed knowledge outside that field of study or accumulation of knowledge inside it? The speaker believe that without embracing outside knowledge, no study can advance significantly. For me, external and internal knowledge are so increasingly Interweaved together nowadays that we can not decide arbitrarily which one is more crucial. But in most circumstances, this statement is justifiable.
As most studies are about nature, the comprehensiveness of nature requires scientists to master interdisciplinary knowledge. When investigating nature, scientists find most complicated phenomenon, such as globe warming, can not be explained from either physical or meteorological perspective. For example, the fluctuation of temperature in atmosphere is actually caused by growing emission of carbon dioxide, and how to explain the role of carbon dioxide in such a progress involves knowledge not only of meteorology but of chemistry. Thus, combining these different disciplines is the most effective way to gain a comprehensive understanding towards this as well as other complicated natural phenomenon. Leonardo de Vinci, who is the paragon of this investigating method, earned bunches of title from engineer to painter to geologist and left us valuable treasure such as Mona Lisa, flying machine and so on. The list of his achievements can go on and on. He used his talents on painting to draw many studies of human skeleton and its parts, different inventions ranging from bridge to helicopter, as well as the first fetus for scientific study. His painting skill was interlinked with his unquenchable curiosity on human body and innovative ideas on engineering. Because of these interdisciplinary knowledge, he could view different phenomenon and subjects as a whole rather than isolated island, the essential reason accounting for why he could attain so much achievements that was far advanced his time. Though we call different subjects different names, significant advancements on science and other fields increasingly require cooperation of different scientists specialized in their own fields. Observing nature in insular aspects always leads to our inability to understand natural progress comprehensively, while embracing outside knowledge can help to explain mysterious phenomenon, like what Vinci did several centuries before.
Even though certain basic disciplines, such as mathematics and physics, still have to borrow external knowledge and experience. The manifestation of them are that they are developed quite earlier than other disciplines and on which other disciplines are based. Actually, no other subjects had been formulated when they began sprouting. However, they developed because of people's observation to nature or day-to-day experience. Thus we can not say that their development is a totally internal and isolated progress. I have to point out, nevertheless, some breakthroughs in these disciplines depend on the accumulation of earlier results inside their own field, such as established theorems and rules. Human beings have the ability to deduce with known results, and this ability prompt human development greatly as well. With the Descartes Coordination, Analytic Geometry was established; with the Newton's laws of motion, complicated motion of different objects was illustrated. These examples demonstrate lucidly that internal deduction is another important way for significant advancement, and external knowledge can not help to solve tough problems in certain fields sometimes. But these exceptions can not overshadow the light of the statements, as stated in the second paragraph, interdisciplinary cooperation has been increasingly stressed when facing complicated nature phenomenon.
We are growing interlinked nowadays, so are the researches in different fields. Without the complement of outside knowledge and information, any study can hardly develop effectively. However, some basic disciplines retain the feature of deduction which is like self evolution. The statement, hence, is justifiable generally, though some exceptions remain.

刚开始看issue写作,可建议的不多。
但楼主第二段第一句“As most studies are about nature, ...”我就不太认同,这样就把study的含义缩小了。难道人文学科就不需要借鉴其他学科的知识吗?

如果我要写的话,还应该对题目的“significantly” 分析下。别的领域的知识固然可以促进本领域的提高,但是还有别的因素可促进一个领域的发展,比如政府的支持,社会的需求,学科带头人的影响等。

谢谢你的意见,我这么写主要是希望把范围限定以后把t观点论证清楚。因为要顾及的方面太多容易论证展开不完全。不过现在发现的确没有把限定的过程交代清楚,下次改进~话说对语言什么的有什么意见么?

嗯,很好的学习态度。YES,YOU CAN!
养成表达(口语+写作)层次分明、意思清晰的好习惯。
这样,大家的交流互动会有更高效率,节约时间和精力成本。

写作时也是一样,要考虑到audience和purpose。受众当然是阅卷人或其他读者,目的是persuasion,尽量把论点表达清楚,有扎实、明确的论据支持--这样有理有据,才能让人信服。
