People make the mistake of treating experts with suspicion and mistrust, no matter how valuable their contributions might be.
------正文------
The speaker claims that it is wrong for people to treat experts who may make a great contribution to society with doubt and mistrust. However, without a doubt, experts who are a normal persons sometimes make mistakes. In my viewpoint, although suspicion and mistrust are wrong sometimes, they are excusable and necessary. It is not our fault.
There are two reasons why people often suspect experts. One is the sense of self-protection. This manifests obviously in the area of medical treatment. For example, a man is ill, and goes to a hospital for help. The result is that there is nothing serious but common cold. However, the man may not be delight for this, because he still worries that something more serious has not been inspected by his doctor. This happens especially among old people who are above sixty. Though it looks absurd, it is comprehensible and not the patient's fault, as everyone wishes to be healthy. Another example is about AIDS, which is one of the most fatal diseases in the world. Though experts persuade that not have bias to those who have infect such a disease, and there are large amount of evidences o show that normal contact cannot cause infection, most people would not like to touch with these patients, and some even are afraid of being close with these patients. This is also entirely comprehensible. Thus, it is people's nature--self-protection--that prevent us from believing experts wholly.
Another reason is that there is difficult for public in accepting new thinking, concepts and so forth. People are often restricted by old or traditional ideas, value and so on. After knowing this, it is not strange that people often doubt, or even laugh at, experts who propose new ideas that is contrast to the old ones. For example, Copernicus's high achievement could not be understood by the public at the beginning, because people at that time had no doubt that the earth was the center of the universe. Darwin's Origin Of Species was also suspected by most people, since people’s chinking was in the control of religion whose idea was that everything in the earth was created by the God. All of these indicate that sometimes it is traditions or old ideas that impede us to absorb new things, which results in mistake of treating experts with suspicion and mistrust.
However, it is necessary for us to doubt experts all the time. Experts are normal persons who are the same as us. No one can assure to be always correct. So suspicion and mistrust is sensible and helpful to us. For example, Galileo's doubt to Aristotle who was the most authoritative man at that time led to the discovery of the law of free fall which plays an essential role in the development of physics. Many high achievements in history were derived from suspicion. In our daily life, doubt is also necessary. Suppose the man mentioned in paragraph two, is indeed misinspected and do not know he gets a fatal disease, he may not live any longer. Thus, sometimes doubt to experts may led to discovery of truth, or at least avoid being harmed by the wrong decisions or recommendations.
In conclusion, it is true that suspicion and mistrust themselves are incorrect sometimes, but people are not wrong. It is necessary to keep doubt to experts, otherwise, we may suffer from great loss. And because of human's nature and restriction of traditions and old ideas, treating experts with suspicion and mistrust is not mistake.作者: 游坦之 时间: 2004-12-11 21:24:51
35分钟590字，太羡慕了
能告诉我你是怎么练得写的这么快的吗？
谢谢！
还有一点小疑惑
这道题的意思是：人们已经知道了某些人是专家，但还是不相信他们 or 某些人是专家，但人们不知道他们是专家，所以不信
哥白尼和达尔文的时候，人们不觉得他们是专家，以为他们是异端邪说，所以才不相信他们。
是不是我想的太多了？作者: Rikku 时间: 2004-12-11 23:31:42
有道理
但我觉得他们应该算是专家把作者: 冥界星灿 时间: 2004-12-12 09:22:24
As I am a new comer and have just began my AW preparing, my view may be not definite enough. If anything I pointed out is incorrect, please tell me directly. Thank you all.
1.The 1st example in the 2nd paragraph(about the pacient and doctor) is a sopposed condition, not reality. And were it truth, it just about things happened arround you or us, who knows?
How about change it into a famous one?
2.These phrases are cited in your issue:
2nd paragraph:For example;another example
3nd paragraph:For example;
4nd paragraph:For example
Change.
3.Your conclusion sentence(the last sentence)."is not mistake",I haven't met such an expression.Is there something wrong?Tell me please.
4.这没法用英文写了。换母语。你的结论是不相信专家是有好处的，怎么前文不是分析人们不相信专家的原因就是举专家的正确思想不被世俗理解的例子（这些例子好象应证明你结论的逆否命题，即该相信专家），读起来怪怪的。
完了。
说的多一些，别见怪。水平有限，不对的地方请不吝赐教！我2月28考，请多指教！
