Someone thinks that being erudite will be higher valued than delving into a specific area of knowledge. At some extent I quite agree with it. In a world full of communication and coorperation, a certain degree of acquisition of a wide range of different deciplines and a skill of combining them seems increasingly important. Only with a broad knowledge can we get efficient interactions with cooperators and do things well. Let's take one professor of mine, who's very good at teaching, for example. When he arrives a strange place to give a lecture about elleptic curves, the keystone of coding theory, he will try to get some information about the industry there relative to his major, and prepare a nice opening introducing about elleptic curves mixed with the knowledge he have got. If it's in a high school, he will show the students a quiz of math GAOKAO, the entrance examination in China, to channel the interest of them. His polymath style of teaching really attracts lots of fans, making him one of the most popular teachers of China.
However, the broad knowledge of multi-subjects must be built on the base of a strong ability of researching on a special field, or else the ability of functioning ideas from other areas may get nowhere to be used. Even the professor mentioned above himself is a prominent mathematician majored in number theory. It would be funny when a Mr-know-all gives a lecture about something difficult when he can not solve the problems well himself, however informative and skilled in giving a lecture he is. Expecially for young students, specializing is overriding because they are in the period that is vital for learning difficult things, and other trival knowledge could be learn in the ameteur time of later on since that is easy.
In summary, the statement would be ture sometimes, but not always. For accomplished experts, it may be right, and for 作者: Irene1084 时间: 2013-11-4 21:34:39
2. 句子
比如这一句:In a world full of communication and coorperation, a certain degree of acquisition of a wide range of different deciplines and a skill of combining them seems increasingly important.
句子很长,后半句出现了三个of,看着看着就乱了。而且什么叫“different disiplines”? 太抽象了
这个句子你其实可以很傻地写:In a world filled with exploded infromation, it is important for us to acquire knowledge in different fields and use it for our own sake.
