The speaker asserts that the function of science is to reassure while the art is to upset, and moreover it determines their respective value. I think the speaker’s view is one-sided because both science and art act have the dual effects, and science and art cannot be treated separately.
Science has performed a function of reassuring us about the reality. As we know, in ancient time, people knew little about the cause of the disasters, so they considered them as the signs of the God. Every time a disaster happened, they became so scared and suspected that they were judging by the God and would be wiped out. With the development of science, it makes people starting to believe that all these disasters are merely common nature phenomena unrelated to the God, and this gives human confidence to live on the earth. Hence, science is a process of seeking the laws and principles of our world. (这句没有context提到,至少不能用hence连接。上下文只提到科学的结果,没说它是怎么进行的)The advances in science help us to triumph over the fear of unknowns around us.
However, science does not always act as reassuring, it can upset especially when a scientific finding is opposed to conventional and traditional sentiments. Just image how you(文段举例最好不要用第二人称) are confused and upset when you confront with the counterintuitive(^^学到一个词) Quantum theory for the first time. According to the Quantum Theory, everything in the cosmos is made up of “wave-function”, which is nothing but information of possibilities. The fact(觉得fact貌似不太合适,object?) that is tangible, or physical, is because an observation “collapses” its wave-function into a physical object. In other words, if there is no conscious observation by human beings, there is nothing tangible exists. OH! How odd it is! If we don’t look at the moon, there is no moon exists. In short, science sometimes makes people confused and upset.(赞这段的观点!)
Now, let’s turn to art. It is undoubtedly that art is important in our life.1、 It would never do for us to realize full lives without arts.(这句貌似没有address) 2、Art is a means of self-expression on topics of emotional or intellectual concern to the artist and, sometimes, to society at large. In other words, art is a surrealistic image which is reformed according to the real world, and therefore art, on the one hand, is the reflection and appreciation of the reality, while on the other, art is the transcendental detachment from the reality. 3、There are not only realistic arts but also romantic arts, and art can not only expresses the noblest and most beautiful sentiments of human in the world, but also reveals and castigates the dark and evil side of the society. When we listen to an andante of Mozart, read a fairy tale of Oscar Wilde, appreciate the Mona Lisa of Da Vinci, and immerse in the copious fountains of art, we will be spiritually liberated, and be very refreshing and reassuring. However, when we read <Tess of the D'Urbervilles> of Thomas Hardy, it will grieve us with the tragic fate of Tess, and we will be resentive and disappointed about the false morality. In brief, art not only expresses beauty of real life but also reveals the ugly of the reality. The purpose of art is not only to reassure but also to upset.(这段没那么清晰了,TS是艺术在生活中重要,接下来123三个点。1讲艺术重要,但似乎展开不够;2讲艺术源于现实离于现实……为啥讲这个?貌似既不能用于说明艺术重要,也不能用于说明艺术能upset;3讲艺术既能表达好的东西也能upset。整个的看,观点的连续性没有出来)
In conclusion, science reveals the mysteries of the universe, while art reveals the mysteries of the emotions. Science and art have the same foundation—the creativity of human being, and the relationship between science and art is closely linked to the duality of the intelligence and emotion. (这个relationship是上文没有address的,the same foundation也是)The purposes of both science and art are to seek the universality of truth, and therein lies the value of each.
