写了老长，也不知怎么样，大家给改改
183"As we acquire more knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible, but more complex and more mysterious."

Personally, I do not agree with the speaker of the title statement. Actually, along with more knowledge, we have deeper understanding of the world. Maybe sometimes things seem elusive than ever; it is because that we find the real rules behind the superficial phenomena.

Generally, things would seem simple to one who has little knowledge or misunderstanding about the issue. The belief that the earth was the center of the universe is just a case in point. In ancient time, people mistakenly believed that other planets revolved around the earth. In their eyes, the universe was so simple that the sun rose from the east and down in the west.  Of course, they thought they have the correct and deep understanding of the universe. However, things are far more complex than that: as human beings have acquired more knowledge with respect to the universe, they found out that the universe is too complex to be understood, even beyond the scale of human beings' intelligence. It does not mean that the universe itself become mysterious--it is its nature, but we now have the true comprehension of the universe. And another example: In the late of 19th century, many physicists claimed that all the rules which control the material world had been discovered; and what the physicists should do in the future was just measure and calculate. They thought that every thing in the world can be explained based on classic mechanical physics. Nevertheless, what had been discovered then was only part of the truth. In early 20th century, under several talented physicists' fundamental explorations in the microscope world, Quantum Physics had been set up. Though the new theory seems too difficult for common ones to understand, it is a significant symbol of deeper comprehension of the world around us. So the truth is not that things would change themselves to become more complex and mysterious but that when human beings have deeper comprehension of the world, they find the real nature of things, which, however, seems unfathomable compared to the former misunderstandings.

Moreover, followed by the rapid science and technology development, the number of disciplines in academic sphere is much more than ever before while people are become more professional. In ancient time, it was often the case that one elite may be both scientist and artists, or philosopher and politician, such as the great ancient Greek philosophers: Aristotle, Plato, Socrates and Da Vici in Renaissance. Admittedly, these men are real geniuses; but in the eras they lived, the amount of knowledge was much less than that in modern time. So it is possible for one to have enough time and energy to engage oneself in several disciplines and achieve wonderful accomplishments. But today, as knowledge becomes deeper and larger in every realm, to become a master in one discipline is already a hard task, not to mention to several. In fact, one may have deep comprehension in one domain nowadays, but would presumably little in others. For example, a student majored in botany may have much knowledge about how to classify and identify botanies; but he or she would probably know little in chemistry or mathematics. Limited by our intelligence and energy, devoting oneself more in one field would necessarily leads to less in others. So, while things become clearer and more comprehensible to one individual in one discipline; in others, things would seem more profound and obscure.

In a word, things would not change themselves to become more complex and more mysterious as we acquire more knowledge. To have deep understanding of one object often means to discover the complexity behind the surface. What is more, many times one can only engage himself or herself into one area to gain specific knowledge with respect to certain issue but not the whole understanding of the world.

顶一下,都沉了

Firstly，既然是自己写的文章，就不用在开头强调Personally后又用“I”不同意XXX，整篇文章的非引用部分均是你的观点，只不过读者会从中体会罢了
Moreover，你的中间两段是否过长，可否拆分一下，开头结尾和中间两段的“对比度”是不是太高了，呵呵

以上个人意见，仅供参考！

那个personally 好像是不该要,谢谢.
我一向是开头和结尾短,主要放在中间论证.开头说明观点就行了,结尾总结一下.可能是风格不一样吧.

ever before -> unprecedentedly
much better
例子很好，我觉得三段是约定成俗的．

木耳，　我的也贴出来，　看看　
你现在打字怎样了，issue多少．
你看机井了了吗？

demeUID: 142580

请问这是你在45分钟内写完的吗，我每次写时都超时，你有什么好的经验和办法吗，能告诉我该怎么办吗

木耳UID: 123036

没看机井，电脑是借的，前天主人回来搬走了。这个时候只要有电脑的不是在看碟就是在玩魔兽，星际，我根本没机会。再说都在说是东西准备搬家，我坐在那里大作文也太不识相了。而学校机房又因为维修不开放！！！
所以我现在在校外的网吧，受着狂差的键盘和鼠标的折磨，被四周老鸟们的叫嚣或欢呼摧残着。不过打字总算还有些起色。

风雨中，我颙颙独行。。。

木耳，你一定没问题的！！！我真佩服你

这篇当然不是了，写了一个小时。
打字是一方面，更重要的是不要有太多的思考，有了论点就敢紧写，粒子也别挑了，能往上堆就往上堆，总之要写完。死也留个全尸！！

木耳，　坚持到底！
我的打字还是错字很多呀＼　看来听天由命了
