40"Scholars and researchers should not be concerned with whether their work makes a contribution to the larger society. It is more important that they pursue their individual interests, however unusual or idiosyncratic those interests may seem."
对待研究人员的评价不应该取决于他们的工作对社会有所贡献。而应该是看他们怎样为了自己的兴趣而奋斗，不管他们的兴趣看起来是多么的不寻常或者多么特殊

Should scholars and researchers ignore whether their work makes a contribution to the larger and pursue their individual interests no matter how unusual or idiosyncratic they might be? In my point of view, even though it is
important for scholars and researchers to be free to do what they like to do, contributing to society must also be taken into consideration. My main issue with the speakers involve the objectives and worth of academic work, as it discussed below.

I concede that the speaker’s assertion has considerable merit on certain aspects. After all, in modern society, people own rights to do what they want to do, so do the researchers and scholars. Being researchers does not indicate that they have to be deprived of the right of pursuing their individual interests.
However, in this era of rapid social and technological change we must conform to the law and public regulation even moral standards .Schloars should not break the above rules. Actually, the work of researchers can be pursued by individual interests under its complying to these principles.

Interest is the drive that could help researchers to make a breakthrough on their special fields. It is human nature that we are motivated to pursue those activities in which we are skilled. Lacking interests would
probably weaken their eager to success. Compeling scholars to do research on certain field is a waste of their time and potential .They would have more chance on the field that apple to them. For instance, what would happen if karl Marx had not researched the philosophy and spent most of his time to study literature instead. In short, scholars would be less likely to contribute to the larger society when they lack interest in their special field.

Finally, how to decide whether or not a scholar’s work exactly makes contribution to the larger society and who could have the authority to decide?
Neither the scholars nor the government can be the deciders. On one hand ,the scholars are likely to overestimate their own work. On the other hand, government often measure the academic work by their standards which sometimes based on the political demand. Several examples from science serve to illustrate this point .Galilei, who put forward a theory that the shape of the earth is round was criticized by the public .But, his work was proved to be true at last. Mikolaj Kopernik, a scientist who disrupted the Ptolemaic system of the astronomy. He suffered a lot when he was alive because of the result of his research. However, as it turns out, his theory is right.
In fact, no one can judge the contribution that a certain work make to the larger society.

To summarize, without individual interest, scholars and researchers are less likely to make a breakthrough in their special fields. Without contribution that the scholars make to the larger society, the speed of development of the contemporary age would be slow down due to the academic work is an important part of society. Thus, while our form of society necessitates scholars
make contribution, the scholars own individual interests are equally important .

Should scholars and researchers ignore whether their work makes a contribution to the larger and pursue their individual interests no matter how unusual or idiosyncratic they might be? In my point of view, even though it is important for scholars and researchers to be free to do what they like(prefer) to do(删掉do), contributing(contribution, contributing表示的应该是贡献的动作) to society must also be taken into consideration. My main issue with the speakers involve(s) the objectives and worth of academic work, as it discussed below.(从开头来看你应该是有保留的反对观点吧?好像正文支持的方面多一点)

I concede that the speaker's assertion has considerable merit on certain aspects. After all, in modern society, people own rights to do what they want to do, so do the researchers and scholars. Being researchers does not indicate that they have to be deprived of the right of pursuing their individual interests. However, in this era of rapid social and technological change(changes) we must conform to the law and public regulation even moral standards .Schloars(Scholars) should not break the above rules.

Interest is the (innate) drive that could help researchers to make a (crucial) breakthrough on their special fields. It is human nature that we are motivated to pursue those activities in which we are skilled(proficient). Lacking interests would probably weaken their eager to success. Compeling(Compelling) scholars to do research on certain field is a waste of their time and potential (talents).They would have more chance on the field that apple(appeal?) to them. For instance, what would happen if karl(Karl) Marx had not researched the philosophy and spent most of his time to study literature instead. In short, scholars would be less likely to contribute to the larger society when they lack interest in their special field.

Finally, how to decide whether or not a scholar's work exactly(essentially) makes(make) contribution to the larger society and who could have the authority to decide(do that,去掉decide)? Neither the scholars nor the government can be the deciders(arbitrator). On one hand, the scholars are likely to overestimate their own work. On the other hand, government often measure(s) the academic work by their standards which sometimes based on the political demand. Several examples from science serve to illustrate this point .Galilei(Galileo), who put forward a theory that the shape of the earth is round(, rather than flat perceived by majority of people on the
world at that time,) was criticized by the public. But, his work was proved to be true at last. Mikolaj Kopernik, a scientist who disrupted the Ptolemaic system of the astronomy(. He), suffered a lot when he was alive because of the result of his research (, which conflicts with the dominant religion's benefit). However, as it turns out, his theory is right. In fact, no one can judge the contribution that a certain work make(s) to the larger society.

To summarize, without individual interest, scholars and researchers are less likely to make a breakthrough in their special fields. Without contribution that the scholars make to the larger society, the speed of development of the contemporary age would be slow down due to the academic work is an important part of society. Thus, while our form of society necessitates scholars make contribution, the scholars own (the scholars' pursuit of) individual interests are equally important.
