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."(提纲+正文)

提纲： 1. 有些观察是主观的，对于发生的同一件事，不同的人得出不同的结论 2. 观察还是比较客观的，在科学研究中，人们往往在理论中得出的结论，通过实验观察进行验证
(感觉脑袋里东西太少了，都不知道写些什么，翻来覆去就那些东西~~~字数也太少了~~~)

There is a general discussion nowadays over the philosophical nature of observation. Those who advocate that observations are subjective argue that they are always guided by the observer’s expectations or desires. But others who object the opinion above believe that in most cases human-being try to figure out the authenticity of scientific facts by way of scientific analysis and observations. As far as I am concerned, there is much to be said on both sides.

There is no denying the fact that when it comes to observations some may think that people unwittingly add their thoughts and emotions to make some judgments, especially those observations based on perceptual things. For observing the same issue, different people usually have various opinions. The good example in case is that after seeing the same movie, different people show quite distinct reaction. Some may think that it is a fantastic movie which moved them so much, while others may argue that it is an absolutely crappy film. A great many are affected by their living experience, their scope of knowledge as well as their capability to observe and reach a fair and right conclusion. Besides for a certain event, analyzing from different views, they could see a totally different view. Admittedly, in this case, the observation is mainly subjective; however, it is not always like that.

Unlike the observations we talk above, some observations are objective. In most fields of scientific research, scientists always prove their theories through observations, the results of which are objective and can not be changed by the observers’ notion. For example, Madame Curie, who is a well-known French professor of physics, did not show the natural radioactive element Po until she purified Po from the radioactive miners, until that night she observed the material shining in her laboratory room. In this case, materials are materials. No one could change its nature and characteristics. People would reach a clear conclusion without being confused by their own opinions.

To further consolidate my point convincingly, I will take another example. In the field of astronomy, the experiments they carried on are mainly based on observations through astronomical telescopes or Hubble telescope, like analyzing the motions of planets, discovering new stars, measuring the distance from the earth to other planets, etc. Scientists deduce their theories through observing those shining stars in the sky everyday. Hence, most scientific knowledge about astronomy derived from observing. Hence, no matter who observes the phenomenon, the results can be the same.

Through my elaboration above, I do hold the assertion in the topic is actually partial and too definite in its point! Under some circumstances, the observations can be translated into different phenomenon; on the other side, some observations are absolutely based on what we see without emotional factors in it.

谢谢你帮我指出的问题~~

1. 以前在一篇文章中看到的 the good example in case 是典型的例子，不过刚刚查了一下可能the good example of a typical case 更好一些。
2. analyzing from different views 加上by可能更好~呵呵~谢谢啦
3. like analyzing the motions of planets, discovering new stars, measuring the distance from the earth to other planet,这句后面的三个动名词短语是并列结构，换成to analyze 可能不太合适，我觉得
4. I do hold the assertion in the topic is actually partial and too definite in its point.
可能是太强烈了改成 I hold the assertion in the topic may be partial and definite in its point. 是不好写？~
5. 我觉得举例的时候关键是根据论点扬长避短，每个例子肯定都可以说出两面性的~不知道我说的是否合适~呵呵~互相学习吧
