127. "Facts are stubborn things. They cannot be altered by our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions." 事实是是固执的(不容改变的)。它不会因为我们的愿望、倾向或激情而改变。(习作13,2005/08/6)☆☆☆
Syllabus:
1.要回答这个问题,我们先要明确事实的定义。什么是事实?
2. to begin with首先,如果事实等于真理的话,我认为它是不能被改变的东西,因为真理是打不倒的)。比如说正义战胜邪恶,人会生老病死等等。
3. on the other hand其次,如果事实不等于真理的,仅仅指somthing that has actual existence.我认为它是可以改变的而且每天都在变化。这里面有一下几个明显的原因:比如说:
4. Additionally,由于事实包含的内容不同,或则说属性不同,我们在生活中对待事实的态度和行为也应该有所变化。
5. 总结。
Do facts cannot be recalled 这个词与原文 alter 的意思不同吧 by our wishes or inclinations,as the speaker asserts?To answer such a controversial issue, we should get a good grasp of the meaning of facts.That is to say, what are facts?There are two different interpretation: the quality of being actual or something that has actual existence.As far as I am concerned, with regard to the former explanation, facts do equal to truths and cannot be altered; while it referring to the latter, facts are indeed standing for objective existence which varying from time to time.
To begin with, if facts are defined as objective truths, I contend that no means of wishes or even passions can actually affect them. As an old saying goes, Truth, once crushed, will rise again.There are a lot of subborn facts which control the world operate in a proper way that cannot be tortured by our subjective wishes.For instance, Justice must defeat evil这不算什么真理吧,好像仅仅是人们为了不至于精神崩溃而怀有的一种美丽信念,消极了一点,仅供参考 and all men are destined to death. Anyone can imagine a spectacle that if these things can be varied by people,what the world will eventually be?Of course, it must fall into chaos or turmoil. Yet, due to varies of reasons, the process of congition that human gain facts is a complex and winding course. To illustrate this view, one need look no further than the cognition of the essential property of light. Nowadays so long as a person learned middle-school physics, he or she would know that light is just an electromagnetic wave and it contains two necessaryinherent OK? properties: One is “wave property”,the other was “quantum property”.But during the last quarter-century, there was a long dispute about two contrary theories and the main reason was like this: one group of scientists insisted on wave theory while another group of scientists preferred quantum theory. In fact, either of them was right alone for the two theories were all inadequate to interprete the phenomena at a go. However, Fact is honest, truth is sure; Truth is strong and must endure. As the time flies by,human finally give a just ruling for this physical fact, that is “string theory”. 例子本身不错,只是且精炼,显得笔墨不均;另外,在后面略加分析,照应一下段首句效果更好
On the other hand, if facts are regarded as something that has actual existence, I fundamentally agree that they can be altered by our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions. In fact, this kind of facts almost change around us every day. There are three compelling reasons:First, as the dialetical law of the development of things holds, motion is the mode of the existance of matter. All things are in a state of motion, absolute motionless is absent.我是不是可以这样反驳你:是的,物质的改变是永恒的,但是他们的改变是根据客观规律,而不是由于我们的愿望。云变成雨点下来,是由于水蒸汽饱和了,不得不下来,而不是我们求雨(我们的愿望)求下来的Second, a lot of passed facts in the history can be explained vaibliy according to different angles and backgrounds of reporters, because sometimes people choose the facts which serve to achieve their certain goals, and meanwhile veil the opposite facts. Japanese teaching materials’ amending action serves a cogent illustration. As is known to us all, Japan launched acts of aggression into the other Asian countries during the World War Two. But in order to obliterate its heious crimes and barbarous acts, Japan’Ministry of Education amends its national teaching courses again and again, and Japanese government have never apologized to these Asian countries that fell victims. Therefore many Japanese children are mislead to believe that their country have not done any aggressions.我感觉这个例子没有说服力, 相反恰恰可以说明事实是不可改变的,绝不会因为日本XX改了教科书,历史事实就可以被改变了, that is to say, the actual existence of their agression into other Asia countried can not be changed, even they amend their textbooks because they want their people to bilieve aother construed history. What has been changed is their recognization of the fact, but not fact itself, for according to your defination here, fact is something of the actual existenceexposuring exposure / exposingto the facts or having no effective resourses to other information, we are apt to draw the wrong directions. Look at the Iraqi war, by the advanced media web and the powerful US voices, many people are convinced that in Iraq there are weapons of destruction, nuclear weapons and bio-chemical weapons and Iraqi people are auppressed by the Hussein government. But no evidence shows this is the fact after the war. Compared to the situation nowadays, people may still miss the days which has gone for ever. What the really thought of the Iraqi people? We cannot rely on the facts broardcasting by the US media, or Iraqi media, we should hear all the voices from all the countries.
不知是我的思路乱了还是怎的,总感觉后面的说明和事例在反对这一段的TS.我的理解是这样的:
你的第一个论证:如果引入辩证法,强调人的主观能动性可以反作用于物质还可以支持 they can be altered by our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions
而第二第三个论证,则是在偷换概念,即 something that has the actual existence Vs. the recognization of the actual existence, here with resoect to your defination at the beginning, something that has the actual existence=fact
As a result, people should take different measures and attitudes when facing these two types of facts. With respect to the essence that belonging to truth, as change lays not her hand upon truth, so a best choice is to follow it, otherwise you will receive its cruel retaliation. In contrast, to encounter facts of something that has actual existence, we can give the rein to our imagination and creative power and make them satisfy our own wishes or inclinations.In short, Man proposes; God disposes.莫非是 谋事在人,成事在天。假如是这样的话,仅仅在说明 God controls everything
To sum up, we must get a full appreciation of the undergroundunderground用词不合适,一个意思是地下的,一个意思是秘密的,没有你要表达的 内在的 含义 implication of facts before making a conclusion. And in view of distinct facts, people should give flexible answers. Only do we realize this key and behave wisely, can human change the world into a heaven of human.(809)
总评:文章语言很到位。这种来深刻分析facts的含义,引出进一步分析的想法不错;第一个意思的让人清楚,需要改进之处上面已经讲了;第二个意思我不太懂,可能是用读argument的眼光来看了,提了一些批评,不知对不对。欢迎跟贴讨论,以开我之茅塞。 |
