As for the relationshipbetween the past and the future, it is too arbitrary to assert that thepast is predictor of the future, not only because people can’t know thepast necessarily correct, but also the world is changing, we can't uselimited impression of the past to predict complex future.
Firstly, as people say, the past only lies in the history recordsand they are not the necessarily correct. It means that the past whatwe have known is more likely not reality. For one thing, we get theinformation of the past by some historical materials, such as relics,books, and so on. But all this things maybe lie to us. For example, asis known to all, Wu Zetian, China's first female monarch, wangled herposition in all the historical books. But what is the truth? We alldon't know. Maybe the only reason makes peopleto criticize her is that power wield by woman is contrary to thetraditional concepts, so that the people documenting history preferredto record her bad things. And later generation just copy the original and spread it. As a result, in all people’s opinion, Wu Zetian is just a heartless person. But maybe the truth is just the reverse side. I think this situation occurs in many histories events.For another, the historical materials what(which?) can be referenced by us islimited. People living in the modern time just explore these things andguess what had happened in the past, which is called as history. Can wereally make the guess fit for reality? Not really, and it is quiteunbelievable that people make the entire guess exactly. So, we can'ttrust history completely, and past can't be rebuilt.(the past can't be rebuilt是想表达什么呢??个人感觉应该是as ‘past’ can be rebuilt according to the current monarch 's will) It is impossiblefor people living in the future to know what had happened in the past,and we can't use the wrong impression of the past in our minds to predict future, to tell us what will happen in the future.
Secondly, even though theinformation about past is just the fact, we should not jump to theconclusion that past is predictor of the future, because the situationsare always changing. There are so many unpredictable items in theworld. No one knows what will happen in the next second. Dinosaur,living in the 200 million years ago, had dominated the earth more than106 million years. If we didn’t live in the modern time, we can’t imagethat such a huge and ferocious monster would have extinguished, andmaybe themselves either(这个例子想表达什么呢??). What's more, the earthquake occurred in 5.12in Sichuan province last year is another good example. Since 14:28 thatday, many of us lost our family forever, which they never thought of.(这里应该再进一步论述,之所以导致地震,是因为科学技术的不完善,因此我们不能仅仅于依赖于过去的经验,尤其是这些尚未成熟的领域)We can't predict this kind of things by sciences or veritas, not tomention the limited past experiences.
Thirdly, past, as the experiences,(past=experience??建议:past, giving experiences) maybe is some kind of wealth for us, which can be used to expect future. However, Ithink it is just people's subjective wishes, not predication. Such asthe domain of science, we often hear, "From this technology, we canpredict that the cancer can be cure in the near future....." Maybe thisassertion is a little ridiculous, but many people just make suchmistakes.(这句话有点别扭,Riduculous as the assertion is, it is raised by humankind frequently) All our human beings want to cure cancer, but we can'tpredict it by known technologies, by past. That is only our wishes.Maybe cancer hasn't been cured until our human being is extinguished orwe die out just because of the cancer. Anything is possible.(这一段的论述有点太绝对了,完全推翻了以后治愈癌症的可能了,而且最大的漏洞就是 we canpredict that the cancer can be cure in the near future,他说的是near future,这并非完全不可能的。)
All in all, past can't be known by people totally, and it is no predictor of the future. |
