Unlike great thinkers and great artists ,the most effective political leaders must often yield to the public opinion and abandon the principles for the sake of comprise.
前几位都给以高度评价,我也来拜读拜读!
With the respect of history, today’s democratic sructure of politic roots deeply in ancient Greek philosophers’ advocation for the respect of public and individual beings, their admiration of(for)the egalitarian, and the eagerness for justice as well as the electoral system specially devised to surpvise (supervise) those in power. The Renaissance taking place in Europe and the democratic Revolution booted(boosted) up by Neapoleon(Napoleon) in France both have produced great thinkers (孟德斯就、卢梭等思想家产生于法国大革命之前)who demand the restiction of the politicians’ power and authority, labeling the end of an era in which politicians could lay their hands on almost every objects of demand. (个人觉得这个论述有点草率。我对政治思想了解不多,也不肯定。)Driven by this trend, the contemporary politicians obstensibly deprived of certain freedom enjoyed by most artists and scientists could no longer behave in the way they would like to. These people, taking the responsibility of the democratic government, are restained from several aspects. These restriction mainly comes from the public’s desire and different groups’ attitudes. 这段主要谈政治思想的演变,现代社会强调对政治权力进行制约。很好,给人有深度的感觉!
不过,也许提一下美国的Washington, Thomas Jefferson等人的影响会更好些。还有,虽然我不大懂政治学,但我还是建议你对于理论化较强的东西,最好要把握准确点,万一遇到一个搞政治学的家伙给你条骨头怎么办?
Although being neglected sometimes, the artists and the scientists still adhere to their own resposibilities ,appear undisturbed and display astonishing indifference to the public. Such right is deserved as to artists and scientists, since their insightful thoughts and complicated feeling about life far go beyond what normal people may achieve. Frustrated and deterred by these maestoes, publics turn to the other extreme—ingnoring these great thinkers and even cursing them as heretics that destroy the current harmony. Again, scientists and artists enjoy the freedom to obliterate the infuence laid on them by the mundane world since their interests are just focused on the exploration of the purity of the truth and reviporating the perfect memory of the past or wonderful visions about future,rather than caring for the public’s benefits. During such process, they just jump out of the world and objectively describe it, any scorns or restrictions are treated as part of the object they are proceeing, and this is just the hits of their successs. Sometimes, certain behavior that even force the community members away from communicating with these elites are taken as pride in that artists and scientists could enmploy their free time to continue their interest.
Paisley说得没错,这段的确有些扯远了。基本上可以删掉。
On the other hand, never would the politician own such comparatively broad freedom. As for a politician,the key to success in politics is to gain and maintain political power. Such power comes from certain identification of the public morality with the politician’s private one and the balance of different groups’ benefits and demands. Consequently, the politician’s attitudes, behavior and even the life style are tightly restricted for fear that any diversion from public’s taste may conduce to losing authority which is a real tragedy for a politician. To be an effective political leader excludes the opportunity that a politician may taste the freedom of the same merits as that enjoyed by artists and scientists, the freedom characterd by consciously seperating oneself from commentary and neglecting the demands made by majority. The successful leadership could be achieved by submerging oneself into the public and being sufficiently preparaed for sacrificing some freedom for the majority’s benefits. 这段很好,说理清楚。
It is always funny to imagine what will happen to a special politician who could share a scientist or an artist’s freedom. When this politician is bored at the legitimate meeting that is being broadcast by media agencies, he escape to have a chess with his child. Subsequently, critics begin to accumulate the disatisfaction of the public to attack this leader’s lacking responsobility of the public affairs. Morever, he may again utilize the freedom to isolate himself from the public pressure by flying out to have a summer holiday. Then, only one thing can be assured, our special politician is deprived of the right to initiate his power which is a symbol of the end of his political life. 这段是上断的的反证吧!反证法很流行,但我觉得多数情况下是毫无必要的。如果你的正面论述过于抽象,或者正面论述无法展开时,反正法很有效。但是如果你的正面论述已经很充分很到位的话,再加一个反面论述,只能有一个解释:凑字数!
The development of technology and recognition of our society require both politicains and insightful thinkers. However, the democratic system of our contemporary world fix two distinct sets of freedom that could enjoyed by them.While we agree that artists and scientists enjoy the comparatively broad one, we can not expect the political leaders to have opportunity to taste it.
总体上讲是一片好文章,有思想有深度,文笔也好。
拼写错误的确太多,要注意!
这篇文章的最大问题是结构,我觉得有两段是多余的。第一段和后面几段的逻辑关系也不大清楚。
我觉得政治家为什么需要妥协,有三大理由:1,正如你所说的,选举问题,不妥协无法上台。2,权力制约,西方国家普遍建立了三权分立制度,还有舆论监督等是政治家不得不妥协。3,政治权力的特殊性。政治行为是集体行为,任何政治家的行为都涉及到大众参与的问题。没有别人的理解与支持,任何政治决策必将失败。独立特行在政治领域完全行不通,这是政治家与科学家、艺术家的重要区别之一。即使在独裁社会也是如此,皇帝也要妥协。
可能我的意见比较尖锐! 不一定正确。共勉! |
