173"Originality does not mean thinking something that was never thought before; it means putting old ideas together in new ways."

The speaker, by saying that originality does not mean thinking something that has never been thought before, instead, it means putting old ideas together, makes a fundamental mistake that he takes the very nature of originality too arbitrary and thus goes to extremes. In my point of view, whether the originality is something that never has been thought before deserves a case by case study.

First of all, we can never separate the originality from our past experience. Since originality means making something new, then no matter how original idea it is , it has to be based upon profound knowledge ,which is the very collection of past experience and old ideas. Were it not for the support offered by the basic knowledge ,any so-called originality is doomed to become fantasy. After all , the Law of Relativity didn’t pop out from the thin air, it has fundamental relation with the classical physics.

And our history abounds the evidence and example that some original invention did make up by the old ideas. Let’s consider, for example , the advent of airplanes. The very though of flying in the air like a bird had born for thousands of years but due to the lack of special knowledge in physics , biology , and engineering , this thought remains fantasy. It was the Latter(?) Brother that combined the knowledge in every required field as well as the fantasy and the desire of flying like a bird , made them a reality. It was just the same case regarding the invention of spacecraft and shuttle. Old experience and intelligence played an important role in the emergence of these creative inventions, the combination of various fields of knowledge and ideas in these cases do require excellent intelligence and profound creativity. But if originality only refers to the ability of putting different things together, then the pace of our human development would have been slackened considerably.

The thoughts that the sun lies at the center of our universe, that the time and space are relative concepts, that matter consists of discrete particles ,that human evolves from the other life forms, that light travels with velocity, that atom can be fission and radiated out power…are all nothing but crazy and absurd assumptions at their times, which has been detested and derided. Fortunately, all of these have been proven true and consequently leading our society into the Atom era, the Space era, etc. If these endeavors ,the endeavors of thinking something never thought before and making them a reality , could not deserve the title of originality , and the prize of creativity, then nothing can.

In sum ,the speaker has been too indiscriminated to say that originality only mean putting some already existed ideas together. Although originality is based on the awareness and experience of the past, and putting different things together really did make good inventions , we could not ignore the great contribution that the spirit of thinking something never thought before has provided. The sense of originality means the ability and spirit to invent, then what difference does it make when both solutions could equally make good inventions. After all, it is human being that finally benefits, then maybe we can put it this way: all the solution by which our humanity can benefit are called originality.
Even if you want to go alone,

I will be waiting when you coming home

If you want someone to ease the pain

You can lean on me ,my love will still remain

173"Originality does not mean thinking something that was never thought before; it means putting old ideas together in new ways."

The speaker, by saying that originality does not mean thinking something that has never been thought before, instead, it means putting old ideas together, makes a fundamental mistake that he takes the very nature of originality too arbitrary and thus goes to extremes. In my point of view, whether the originality is something that never has been thought before deserves a case by case study.(明确提出观点)

First of all, we can never separate the originality from our past experience. Since originality means making something new, then no matter how original idea it is, it has to be based upon profound knowledge(为什么?), which is the very collection of past experience and old ideas. Were it not for the support offered by the basic knowledge, any so-called originality is doomed to become fantasy. After all, the Law of Relativity didn’t pop out from the thin air, it has fundamental relation with the classical physics. (这一段论证不太好,原因是论据有点空穴来风)

And our history abounds the evidence and example that some original invention did make up by the old ideas(in new way). Let’s consider, for example, ( a good case in point, 我觉得一点是出现‘we’, 你觉得呢?)the advent of airplanes. The very though of flying in the air like a bird had born( 不能接一段时间) for thousands of years but due to the lack of special knowledge in physics , biology , and engineering , this thought remains fantasy. It was the Latter(?) Brother that combined the knowledge in every required field as well as the fantasy and the desire of flying like a bird , made them(?) a reality(the first plane,我总觉得别扭). It was just the same case regarding the invention of spacecraft and shuttle. Old experience and intelligence played an important role in the emergence of these creative inventions, the combination of various fields of knowledge and ideas in these cases do require excellent intelligence and profound creativity. But if originality only refers to the ability of putting different things together, then the pace of our human development would have been slackened considerably. (最后一句话最好放在下一段)

The thoughts that the sun lies at the center of our universe, that the time and space are relative concepts, that matter consists of discrete particles, that human evolves from the other life forms, that light travels with velocity, that atom can be fission and radiated out power…(我觉得没必要局这么多,太多了反而不好)are all nothing but crazy and absurd assumptions at their times(时态不对吧), which has been detested and derided. Fortunately, all of these have been proven true and consequently leading our society into the Atom era, the Space era, etc. If these endeavors ,the endeavors of thinking something never thought before and making them a reality(可以用定语从句) , could not deserve the title of originality , and the prize of creativity, then nothing can(可以用反问)

In sum , the speaker has been too indiscriminated(cynical) to say(assume) that originality only mean putting some already existed ideas together. Although originality is based on the awareness and experience of the past, and putting different things together really did make good inventions, we could not ignore the great contribution that the spirit of(不太明白) thinking something never thought before has provided. The sense of originality means the ability and spirit to invent(及物), then what difference does it make when both solutions could equally make good inventions.(?) After all, it is human being that finally benefits, (then) maybe we can put it this way: all the solution(s) by which our humanity can benefit are called originality.
修改纯属个人意见,还有,最后一段太长了,比第二段还长,这不好吧,论证还好

谢谢修改,有的地方我是马虎了,

最后一句话最好放在下一段 这个我觉得ets范文里有用到,可以承上启下的

我觉得一点是出现‘we’, 你觉得呢  恩,是的,应该更客观一点,呵呵

这一段论证不太好,原因是论据有点空穴来风)

我觉得没必要局这么多,太多了反而不好

呵呵是啊是啊,我现在看也觉得多了!:)
  
我觉得不空穴来风啊, 想象是要建立在知识基础上,相对论的很多东西是建立在经典物理上的
Even if you want to go alone,

I will be waiting when you coming home

If you want someone to ease the pain

You can lean on me ,my love will still remain
