谢谢“不怕开水烫的猪”,我参照你的修改意见该过后又发了一个新帖,在这再贴一个还有一个关于But science is reassuring us while upsetting.顺序的问题。我想表达的意思是:科学在“reassure us" 的同时还“upset”。你看我的顺序这样对吗?
The view above seems to separate science and art in their values. But neither is only to reassure or upset. And their value should not be assembled separately.
Take science for example. Science reassures us in revealing many myths such as the cause of thunder, lightening, typhoon. Also many convenience and benefits has science brought us. In knowing microorganisms, we can get antibiosis which is helpful in curing diseases, brewing beer and sour milk. The development in cytology, genetic engineering makes curing the once incurable diseases possible. And thanks to the accelerated development in IT, we can communicate in a more convenient and open way. We chat in chatting rooms or with the help of chat software such as QQ, MSN. We send and receive E-mail in just several seconds or minutes. We share information, useful sources from internet in stead of the old troublesome ways.
But science is reassuring us while upsetting. People develop science for the benefits and conveniences of themselves, and sometimes they do not think about the consequences while only care about the wealth and benefits at that time. Clone is quite promising in solving the problem of human organism deficiency. But cloning the whole human causes dissents in morality. What will the cloned human babies' identity be? What kind of environment shall those cloned babies face? Another example in science upsetting us is pollution. Industrial development has brought us much wealth, but has set a big problem in front of us, that is pollution. Love Canal, a small town in upstate New York, was destroyed by chemical waste that was once legally dumped. People settled there were not told of the toxicity of the chemical waste at first, and the tragedy occurred.
While, as to art, art is indispensable in our lives. When we are tired, discouraged, euphonious music may be quite the essential one to soothe us. Not only art, all other beautiful things such as neat paintings, are to impose us with beauty and a kind of tranquility.
Art also agitate us and cause us to think, introspect, and excite. Take literature for example, we fluctuate with persons’ experiences in novels while learn to communicate, introspect the action of our own. Art, as a whole, is a kind of beauty and reflect the state of mind in its time, solve the problem of what we are and what we will be and is to serve human for their spirits.
Finally, it is not quite exact to say "science is to reassure, art is to upset" and vice versa. Science deals with material things, serving to solve practical problems while begetting other new ones; art is for spiritual enjoyment and introspection, which is untouchable. But both science and art are serving for the benefits of humane beings and they are indispensable for the humane development. And it is up to humane for the function and use of them. |
