The speaker concludes that the absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare. I fundamental agree with this conclusion. The contrary view may reveal that in some circumstances we have no choice but to do some typical thing because of the objective surrounds and situations. However, in my view, choice is not only made to chose the outside situations but also chose one's inside attitude toward it. Thus, while there are some objective factors beyond our control, our attitudes and reactions toward it are still in our hands.
Undoubtedly, there are always some situations which one cannot handle for the reason that the power of a single person is so limited that the objective circumstance cannot be changed by one's will. It seems that we are pushed by the irresistible force from the nature and the society. We have no choice about the coming of flood or typhoon because they are only decided by the global environment. We also fail to decide the era or the country in which we are born, which also means we cannot chose the political environment and the average living standard. All these things are beyond the power of an individual.
However, though they are objective, it doesnot means that we can do nothing facing with these situations. After all, there is a inherent right that no one could deprive it------the free will. In this case, one can chose his attitudes toward these objective situations: to fight with them, to adjust to them or to escape. As a typical example, the famous psychologist, Vickor Frankl, wrote down what he saw in the concentration camp of Nazi in his book, Man's Search for Meaning. The concentration camp is may be the worst condition that a human being could bear with: the prisoners saw their families and friends being sent to the gas chamber but have nothing to do and they never knew when it would turn to themselves. However, just as Vickor Frankl wrote in his book (and I paraphrase): even though they lose all men's right, they still have an inalienable right, the right to chose their attitudes. The psychologist was amazing at the low rate of suicide; the prisoners had chosen their attitudes that they would continuously pursue the chance of surviving .
In addition, even under the objective circumstances, one still has the choice of some concrete and personal issues. Under the certain condition of social education standard which an individual can hardly chose, one have the choice of his or her dream school. When the flood is coming which one cannot avoid, he have the choice between strengthening the damp or moving away from that area. Choice like these are being made by common individuals every day.
To sum up, undoubtedly sometimes we have only one way out which seems that we have no choice, however we can still decide whether to carry on or to give up. There is no thing can restrain our free wills. And most of the time the key to success just relies on our attitudes.作者: vina1114 时间: 2009-8-12 11:49:05

Thus, while there are some objective factors beyond our control, our attitudes and reactions toward it are still in our hands. 这一转折楼主提出自己的观点 可是我对楼主的观点和原文的观点之间的关系很迷惑 我想知道楼主你在写的时候是从什么出发考虑这个观点的 嘿嘿 ）
Undoubtedly, there are always some situations which one cannot handle for the reason that the power of a single person is so limited that the objective circumstance cannot be changed by one's will. It seems that we are pushed by the irresistible force from the nature nature自然不用冠词的吧 and the society社会也不加冠词. We have no choice about the coming of flood or typhoon because they are only decided by the global environment.我觉得说他们是由全球环境决定不太对
台风只是一种自然现象吧 We also fail to decide the era or the country in which we are born, which also means we cannot chose the political environment and the average living standard. All these things are beyond the power of an individual.
However, though they are objective, it doesnot means that we can do nothing facing with these situations. After all, there is a inherent right that no one could deprive it------the free will.

In addition, even under the objective circumstances, one still has the choice of some concrete and personal issues.

When the flood is coming which one cannot avoid, he have the choice between strengthening the dampdam or moving away from that area. Choice like these are being made by common individuals every day.
个人觉得洪水的例子在这里举不好 因为这里说个人每天做的选择 大多数情况遇到洪水还是很难得的事
To sum up, undoubtedly sometimes we have only one way out which seems that we have no choice, however we can still decide whether to carry on or to give up. There is no thing can restrain our free wills. And most of the time the key to success just relies on our attitudes.楼主是想说主要在于我们态度的选择 客观环境不容我们选择？ 也就是说不能选择的情况是很少的。可是按前文的说法我觉得不能选择的客观情况还是很多啊 ？ 个人小小的困惑 嘿嘿 我觉得楼主的句型用词都很不错 呵呵作者: 网兜妮妮 时间: 2009-8-12 14:14:37

Undoubtedly, there are always some situations which one cannot handle for the reason that the power of a single person is so limited that the objective circumstance cannot be changed by one's will. It seems that we are pushed by the irresistible force from the （去掉）nature and the society. We have no choice about the coming of flood or typhoon because they are only decided by the global environment. （这里最好写成它们不被人的意志所左右，紧扣主题）We also fail to decide the era or the country in which we are born, which also means we cannot chose the political environment and the average living standard. All these things are beyond the power of an individual.
However, though they are objective, it does not means that we can do nothing （when）facing with these situations. After all, there is a inherent right that no one could deprive it------the free will. In this case, one can chose his attitudes toward these objective situations: to fight with them, to adjust to them or to escape. As a typical example, the famous psychologist, Vickor Frankl, wrote down what he saw in the concentration camp of Nazi in his book, Man's Search for Meaning. The concentration camp is may be the worst condition that a human being could bear with: the prisoners saw their families and friends being sent to the gas chamber but have nothing to do and they never knew when it would turn to themselves.

The psychologist was amazing at the low rate of suicide; the prisoners had chosen their attitudes that they would continuously pursue the chance of surviving .（本段论证很充分）
In addition, even under the objective circumstances, one still has the choice of some concrete and personal issues（没展开，不太理解）. Under the certain condition of social education standard which an individual can hardly chose, one have the choice (one have the choice to choose )of his or her dream school. When the flood is coming which one cannot avoid, he have the choice between strengthening the damp or moving away from that area. Choice like these are being made by common individuals every day.
To sum up, undoubtedly sometimes we have only one way out which seems that we have no choice, however we can still decide whether to carry on or to give up. There is no thing can restrain our free wills. And most of the time the key to success just relies on our attitudes.
观点清晰。语言流畅。
我来总结一下LZ观点。
选择分两种，选择客观环境和自己的态度。
客观环境我们的确无法选择，但我们可以选择自己的态度。即使在最艰难的环境中我们也可以选择屈服或者抗争。
前面都很好，In addition 的那段不是很充分。作者: 网兜妮妮 时间: 2009-8-12 14:26:16
The speaker concludes that the absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare. I fundamental agree with this conclusion. The contrary view may reveal that in some circumstances we have no choice but to do some typical thing(certain things) because of the objective surrounds and situations. However, in my view, choice is not only made to chose the outside situations but also chose one's inside attitude toward it(观点提的很新哦，赞~). Thus, while there are some objective factors beyond our control, our attitudes and reactions toward it are still in our hands.
Undoubtedly, there are always some situations which one cannot handle for the reason that the power of a single person is so limited that the objective circumstance cannot be changed by one's will. It seems that we are pushed by the irresistible force from the nature and the society. We have no choice about the coming of flood or typhoon because they are only decided by the global environment. (个人觉得这里有歧义) We also fail to decide the era or the country in which we are born, which also means we cannot chose the political environment and the average living standard. All these things are beyond the power of an individual.
However, though they are objective, it does not means that we can do nothing facing with these situations. After all, there is a(an) inherent right that no one could deprive it------the free will. In this case, one can chose(choose) his attitudes toward these objective situations: to fight with them, to adjust to them or to escape. As a typical example, the famous psychologist, Vickor Frankl, wrote down what he saw in the concentration camp of Nazi in his book,(:) Man's Search for Meaning. The concentration camp is(delete) may be the worst condition that a human being could bear with: the prisoners saw their families and friends being sent to the gas chamber but have nothing to do(疑是could do nothing) and they never knew when it would turn to themselves. However, just as Vickor Frankl wrote in his book (and I paraphrase): even though they lose all men's right, they still have an inalienable right, the right to chose(choose) their attitudes. The psychologist was amazing at the low rate of suicide; the prisoners had chosen their attitudes that they would continuously pursue the chance of surviving.
In addition, even under the objective circumstances, one still has the choice of some concrete and personal issues. Under the certain condition of social education standard which an individual can hardly chose, one have the choice of his or her dream school. When the flood is coming which one cannot avoid, he have the choice between strengthening the damp or(and) moving away from that area. Choice like these are being made by common individuals every day.(这段论述再深入点更好O(∩_∩)O~)
To sum up, undoubtedly sometimes we have only one way out which seems that we have no choice, however we can still decide whether to carry on or to give up. There is nothing can restrain our free wills. And most of the time the key to success just relies on our attitudes.(喜欢，共勉吧~)
