Issue73: In most professions and academic fields, imagination is more important than knowledge.
Imagination plays a more important role than knowledge in some fields, such as arts. However, knowledge serves as a more important part than imagination in other realms, such as computer science, mathematics. My view can be substantiated by the following discussion.
Without imagination, arts lack vivid vitality. Arts always reflect people's moods, feelings, and thoughts. Perhaps through imaging, we can understand an author's purpose better. As reading a novel, the writer wrote that the heroine and the hero were walking along the beach hand by hand, enjoying the fresh air and blue sea, watching many children playing together. The scene can be immediately comes out in our head by imagination. When hearing Egmont, a symphony composed by Beethoven who is a famous German composer, we can feel the suffering people endured, the hope that the person named Egmont brought to people, and the sad when Egmont was sentenced to death. If we do not have imagination, we cannot sense the feelings that novelists or musicians want to express.
However, in computer science, knowledge is more important than imagination because computer science accents the role of knowledge. Once my computer was broken, so I asked a friend whose major was not CS how to solve the problem, and he talked a lot about what problem he thought to be. But after inviting him to deal with the problem in practice, he can do nothing. So I turned to another friend whose major was computer science, he repaired my computer through using
his knowledge. Therefore, knowledge plays much important role in CS.
Admittedly, knowledge also serves as a more important part in mathematics. For example, when facing a problem or prove a theorem in a multidimensional space, it is hard to solve it through imaging the shape of the space. In order to find the solution, we should use the knowledge we have learned. Due to mathematics requires exactness, imagination cannot provide this kind of property. Hence, imagination is not so important as knowledge.
To sum up, imagination and knowledge both play important part in professions and academic fields. If we use both of them together, then we can know professions and academic realms better.
总结:这篇文章没什么思路。例子不是很充分。

I disagree with the speaker. I concede that imagination is important in professions and academic fields. However, knowledge plays a fundamental role in these realms. We cannot ignore the accumulation of knowledge, when working in professions and academic fields.
开门见山提出观点。
To begin with, imagination is important in most professions and academic fields. When a research or a program begins, things like the goal, the blueprint, framework and details are necessary. Most of them are done through the imaginations. If we just study knowledge and don’t image, how can we treat these new problems? Imaginations is indispensable to the new discovers(discoveries) and inventions in scientific researches. Without them, science and technology can not develop.
论点:想象力在大部分行业和学术领域很重要。这段论证不充分。
However, we cannot just rely on imagination when working in professions and academic realms, because knowledge plays a fundamental role in these fields. There are several reasons. First, valuable imaginations often come after certain knowledge. That is to say when a scientist is equipped with some kind of knowledge, he may have valuable imaginations. For example, 150 years ago, physical scientists had no idea about atoms. At that time, no doubt(undoubtedly前置) they couldn’t(could not) image the nuclear bomb and nuclear power plant. This example shows that to get valuable imagination, we need special knowledge. Second, without knowledge, we cannot judge weather our imagination can be attained.(这句没看懂) For instance, we can image that weather report can be exact by the calculation of computers. However, without the knowledge of computer and mathematics, how can we know this imagination cannot be realized recently? Third, knowledge also provides the methods and other details. So, from what has been discussed in this paragraph, we can image that without knowledge imagination is useless.
论点:不能仅仅依赖想象力,知识同也很重要。例子:原子。论证不是很充分,里面的一二三点都是蜻蜓点水地说明一下,不如细说一两点。
Since knowledge is also significant, we should also focus on the accumulation of knowledge when working in professions and academic fields. Just as most scientists and graduate students do, one needs to read papers in the realms and understand the relevant knowledge first. Reading papers is the process to accumulate knowledge and experience. Imagination is also called ‘brain-storm’ sometimes, and can be done in different ways. One of them is applying old methods and experience to new researches. For example, we can use existing machines to synthesize new fibers in material science. Although methods are old, the results are new created. This kind of imagination is frequently used by scientists. Others, which are also commonly used, are applying new methods to old researches, and applying new methods to new ones. Combining the knowledge and imagination, we may discover or create new things and treat new problems.
论点:要注重知识积累。这个观点好像有点勉强。
In sum, I don't agree with the speaker. No matter in studies or researches, we should both concentrate on the accumulate knowledge and imagination.
小结:论证不够分,例子不够说服力。
