9"Academic disciplines have become so specialized in recent years that scholars' ideas reach only a narrow audience. Until scholars can reach a wider audience, their ideas will have little use."
Nowadays, there increasingly arise much concern about the issue whether scholars should reach a wider audience. As the assertion presented by the speaker, some people claim that because the specialized idea has little use, a wider audience is needed. Anyway, it is undeniable that a wide view is a significant element in the development of science. However, the existence of specialization should not be neglected, which plays an indispensable role in our society.
To begin with, with the rapid accumulation of knowledge既然你在下文提到各个单门学科知识范围的不断扩充,广义的摄取知识已成为不可能的事实,那么你在这里的knowledge 就应该指明是specific knowledge 而不是没有任何附加说明的广义的knowledge, it is impossible for anyone to follow the example of Aristotle, who was believed to know everything at his time. Let's take chemistry for a specific example. With the development of experimental technology and human intellect, people had made numerous discoveries in chemical field, which led to the emergence of various branches of chemistry such as inorganic chemistry, analysis chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, quantum chemistry, and biochemistry可否不要那么多chemistry的重复?给人的感觉比较罗嗦. And each of these disciplines, which respectively has its own complex concepts and theories, has developed into a complete science. Certainly, any scientist could not master everything about all these branches of chemistry. Accordingly, it is reasonable for a scientist to focus on certain field.
你这个例子举的不错!但希望能再说多几句,深入一点,这样会更有说服力。】
On the second place(是hand,不是place), our society needs various specialists to maintain the function of society to continue, such as lawyer, doctor, teacher, and engineer. And it makes no difference in science. Namely, we require physicists, mathematicians, chemists, geographer, biologist, and computer man to make progressive strides in every field. Without these specialists, we will find ourselves trapped in the sea of information overload(overloaded), and many great scientific achievements would not occur. For instance, without theoretical physicist, the theory of relativity and the theory of quantum would not (没写完!!!)
In the third analysis, over-emphasis on the specialization will impede the communication between different disciplines, which will undermine the development of science directly and indirectly. The interconnection of various disciplines is beneficial for the development of science and solving social problems. The nuclear power plant is a case in the point. To build a nuclear power plant, architect, theoretical physicist, mathematician, and chemist are required to work together. In addition, the technology of Cloning is another example, which came from the cooperation between biology and chemistry. Furthermore, when it comes to some social problems, such as deforestation, Greenhouse effect, and AIDS (Acquired Immure Deficiency Syndrome), academic specialists alone are not sufficient to solve these problems. Actually, sociologists and behaviorist should be involved to solve these problems.
In sum, as is discussed above, it is safe to say that specialization is needed, for the exploration of information and the accumulation of knowledge. Simultaneously, it is necessary to employ specialists, which are indispensable. Moreover, the interconnection should not be prevented by over-emphasis on specialists.
我觉得这篇issue写的很别扭。开始我想只写specialist。可是又舍不得wide view 的重要性。
结果写下来没一点头绪。这种我认为两者都要,可是两者又是有矛盾的,要怎么写?怎么连接?难道说要避开他们的矛盾不谈,这样又觉得抓不住the complexity of topic。真不知道该怎么办才好啊。
虽然说有范文说是两种都要,可我觉得不够深刻
呵呵,你写的不错的。至少每段的开头的感觉都很好,就是“虎头蛇尾”了一点,每段给人的感觉都是“意犹未尽”也。 关于你的困惑,是正常的。
我觉得,首先你应该先拟一个提纲,提醒自己每段应该朝哪个方向展开,并且提醒自己别跑题了。我发觉你有离题倾向哦。关于specialist 和 generalist的矛盾和统一,在ets范文里已有论说,我觉得在你这篇文章里要加的是各看似无关学科之间的相关性,试试从知识的关联性着手吧。举多点事例,这样的字数就够了,但千万不要跑体了。 |
