TOPIC: ISSUE180 - "Many problems of modern society cannot be solved by laws and the legal system because moral behavior cannot be legislated."
(每一篇ISSUE都将近六七百字。光从字数来看这个量的确值得大赞。)
The modern society is full of vigorous development while along with contradictory interests, leading to some pressing social problems which cannot be simply solved by laws and legal systems. Among these problems, some are morally related. Due to some morality’s vague definition and undefined traits, they hardly could be(could hardly be?) clearly legislated(involved into the rigid legal system或者什么类似的说法可能会比较好). However, some moral behaviors which are consistent with the society’s collective thoughts could and should be written into the laws as a restriction to direct people's lives and social activities.(嗯,最后这一句还是句子稍微有点儿长了……而且最后一句虽然是TS,但还需要进一步论证,并没有一锤定音的强大力量。一个是这个some究竟是哪些,另一个是如何具体立法、立法之后会不会走样,等等……嘛,接下来看下面的段子吧)
To begin with, the progress of the world not only brings us colorful life, it also breeds mind-binding problems which cannot be solved by legal system. Such problems, characterized by the obscure bound in people's ideological and moral system,(这一句挺地道~) could not find themselves a place to fit in so that laws also fails to touch. If a girl commits a(要加a么?不大清楚) suicide because her boyfriend leaves her, if a man gives up to expose the corruption of the government even if he witnesses the dark deeds(呃 dark deeds……不知道是有没有中式英语的痕迹。可能的话还是换一下……), and if a person refuses to support the poor old lady whose son invited him to climb the mountain but fell to death, we would ask: who should be responsible for that? Who is the culprit of such tragedies? (可以看得出来,作者为了营造这个排比以及这个提问的气势,将三个事情放在了一起,但是它们的道德PARADOX却有强有弱。类似的道德现象很多很多,而在这里或许可以从更加抽象、广义的方面,而不是具体说出一二三来把这个东西说清楚吧。当然如果那样的话这一段就没有例证了,不如在上面先用清晰地抽象语言表达这样的PARADOX究竟是什么,再深入探讨一个让人一看就很束手无策的道德ISSUE。)However, laws don’t answer, and these kinds of problems still remain at issue. Since everybody has its distinctive value and conception in their morality, legislators choose to keep silent on these moral problems. (这一段的首尾叙述并非如此一致,例子稍微有一丁点脱节。可惜了。)
However, though complex the moral problems are, some of them could also and must be solved by laws.(哈
作者很喜欢用这个句式来提气势,挺好的) The legal system plays an important role in maintaining the stability and fairness of the society by restricting or even punishing some behaviors with their aims against the majority of people's moral standard, such as honesty.(句子还是稍微有点儿长,虽然阅读没有什么难度,还是建议人工加上点标点啥的) In the business for example, there are several laws and regulations defining the legal and illegal behaviors to ensure the right of business participants to be well protected. (不要连续连个for example嘛)For example(哈,三个了), the laws validate a contract, punish those who tear it; and they guarantee the security of corporate information by inflicting penalty to those who pursue their own interest with an evil intention—corporate espionages for instance.(严格地算算,四个) Only on a legal basis could economic affairs run orderly. Thanks to the legal system, some of these moral problems have already been solved and some others are being solved.
一个人如果一直在强调什么就证明他缺什么。可以想象您的行文飞快,而在笔下会露出一点点的无意识破绽。比如作者在写作这篇涉及伦理的文章中,例子的积累并不多。强烈建议您马上去积累一些相关方面的素材。能够读出来,一旦举了例子,您的气势就突然滞涩了一下儿。可惜未能一气呵成。像上篇文章那样连贯的气势在这里并未清楚地看到。
但是总体看来这两段的说理还是非常清晰的,每一段的大意都非常清楚。总体来看脉络还是不错。
On the other hand, morality itself could not explain all the phenomena of the persistent problems in the world, for quite a few of them are mixed with too many other factors that render the laws are ineffective or legislation of such problems too costly.(嗯,从这个方面来论述好呀。但是实话说这里和第一段的最后那儿的TS既然是对应的,或许回头修改一下前面会比较好?) For example, the excessive drinking and smoking are serious problems in the modern society: they not only pollute the environment, but also are harmful to health. However, in many countries, they are not forbidden. Legislators have mainly two considerations in mind: the unemployment of the workers who are in the alcohol and cigarette companies, and tax income for government from these industries. For example, if alcohol is banned, then the operation on the industry chain would be gravely affected--the planting industry which provides the raw sources, the processing mills that produce wines, and marketing companies that sell them. Imagine that all workers from these industries are laid-off, while no enough posts to replace them ---the society would be in a horrible chaos , even more serious than intemperance among a handful of alcoholics. What's more, less tax income to the government is also an undesirable thing. Thus, these problems, could not be harshly categorized to moral issues, for they are too complicated and are related to interests with so many respects.(论述很深入啦,把道德与法律夹缝间的种种现实论述得很充分。赞一下儿)
In sum, the modern society comprises conflicts of interests and discrepancies of values, which are the sources of the legal unsolvable problems. Laws fade away in the moral and interests contradictory. But fortunately, some moral behaviors can be regulated by laws because laws are the mirrors of the contemporary moral system.(其实觉得这个some还是能够论述得更加清楚一点儿……) In the final analysis, with the development of the world, the legal system would be perfected to better protect those poor and weak and enlarge the area in which the writ may run.(哈,结尾比较漂亮,收束得很干净。)
嗯,总体看来还是非常干净。只是相关伦理方面的论述例子还是多攒一点儿,可以让文章更有可读性。 |
