Issue 157:There is no such thing as purely objective observation. All observation is subjective; it is always guided by the observer’s expectations or desires.
When we use our eyes to observe this world, it is possible that the same object observed by different eyes will be got different answers. The question whether the process in observation is subjective or objective, which was discussed in thousands of years. In my point, in some areas such as art the observation cline to subjective, but in other areas such as science the objective observation has significant meaning.
Art is a process motivated by imagination and creation. Without the subjective process, the world of art which including poem, literature, music painting, and so on, will become uniform and boring which means that the most inspiring thing of art was lost. How to upset the old way and show a new world or embedded world is the one purpose of artists. It has immediate relationship with subjective observation. Just as the mysterious painting Mona Lisa of Vinci, it is one of the most famous pictures created in renaissance and merely no artist can beyond it. Every one has its own view of her smile. Some one claimed that it was a smile for peace, other one else concerned that it was a smile of love. Each person used his or her different values, experiences, and desires to illustrate the meaning of Mona Lisa's smile. To Imagine, if only through objective watch, the smile is only a smile and it has no any difference with anyone else, then how can we so amazing about the talent of Vinci. In the result, there is no the existence of the colorful art world.
In some disciplines, especially in science or technology area, observers eschew from being distracted by subjective observations. With the more objective observation we have had, the more truths we have got. With the foundation of objective proofs, which was got from observation through telescope and mathematics, Copernicus claimed that the earth run around the sun, but not as those Catholic assumed that the sun run around the earth. If only use subjective view, how can we know the earth is not the center of the solar system? How can we get the progress which based with Copernicus founding such as launching the Challenger spaceship to universe? Our great progresses in science and technology which great improve our conditions of lives and open our mind to know the truth of nature are from the more and more objective views.
What we should pay attention to is that too subjective will induce to nihilism. The person whom is merely with the subjective views especially in science and technology areas would believe that all things in this world would be leaded by him and all changes would happen as his thought. It will lead to doomed failures. What we should always know is that only with objective observations without subjective, especially in art areas, there is difficult for creation because of lacking motivate.
Whether the observation is objective or subjective rely largely on the situation of the observers and the circumstances of the objects being observed. On the one hand, we should know the need for subjective observation, it helps us appreciate this world and become more inspiring. On the other hand, we should learn to use objective view to scale those theories in science, it helps us learn the truth of this world.

When we use our eyes to observe this world, it is possible that the same object observed by different eyes will be got (不清楚这里be got是什么意思,可不可以用bring about?) different answers. The question whether the process in observation is subjective or objective, which was discussed in thousands of years (这句号的谓语在哪里?我也来写一句The discussion of the question has accompanied our human history for several thousands of years.). In my point, in some areas such as art the observation cline (是cling 吗?) to subjective, but in other areas such as science the objective observation has significant meaning. (题目是讨论客观观察存在否,你的观点是艺术领域内观察一定是主观的,但是科学领域内客观观察是很重要的,你是不是应该说存在否,而不是说重要否。)
Art is a process (艺术是一个过程?你可以写Creating art,或者Appreciating art) motivated by imagination and creation (creativity可能更好). Without the subjective process, the world of art which including (includes) poem, literature, music painting, and so on, will become uniform and boring which means that the most inspiring thing of art was(has been) lost. How to upset the old way and show a new world or embedded world is the one purpose of artists (既然是目的,就把how去掉吧). It has immediate relationship with subjective observation. Just as the mysterious painting Mona Lisa of Vinci, it is one of the most famous pictures created in renaissance (Renaissance) and merely (nearly) no artist can beyond (beyond好像不能做动词,surpass) it. Every one has its own view of her smile. Some one claimed that it was a smile for peace, other one else concerned that it was a smile of love. Each person used his or her different values, experiences, and desires to illustrate the meaning of Mona Lisa's smile. To Imagine, if only through objective watch, the smile is only a smile and it has no any difference with anyone else, then how can we so amazing about the talent of Vinci. In the result, there is no the existence of the colorful art world. (你到底是想写艺术家的创造需要主观,还是写欣赏艺术的过程是主观的。你的Mona Lisa的例子反映的是后者,但是前面的论述又像是前者。Mona Lisa这个例子挺好的,我在比较照相机和书时用了这个例子。)
In some (other) disciplines, especially in science or technology area, observers eschew from being distracted by subjective observations. With(with需要吗?) the more objective observation we have had, the more truths we have got. With the foundation of objective proofs, which was got from observation through telescope and mathematics, Copernicus claimed that the earth run around the sun, but not as those Catholic assumed that the sun run (runs) around the earth (sun, earth要大写吗?). If only use subjective view (主观也可以想啊,还不如写 without objective view), how can we know the earth is not the center of the solar system? How can we get the progress which based with Copernicus founding such as launching the Challenger spaceship to universe? Our great progresses in science and technology which great improve our conditions of lives and open our mind to know the truth of nature are from the more and more objective views. (科学中客观观察的重要性。这如我在前面所说,你应该强调客观观察的存在性,你可以写我们对太阳系的观察是客观的,无论我们的偏见或信仰如何,都不能改变地球绕太阳转的事实。)
What we should pay attention to is that too subjective will induce to nihilism. The person whom is merely with the subjective views especially in science and technology areas would believe that all things in this world would be leaded by him and all changes would happen as his thought. It will lead to doomed failures. What we should always know is (少了个也的意思吧,what we should also keep in mind is ) that only with objective observations without subjective, especially in art areas, there (it) is difficult for creation because of lacking motivate.
Whether the observation is objective or subjective rely (relies) largely on the situation of the observers and the circumstances of the objects being observed. On the one hand, we should know the need for subjective observation, it helps us appreciate this world and become more inspiring. On the other hand, we should learn to use objective view to scale those theories in science, it helps us learn the truth of this world.
