The absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare.
People often take it for granted that, no matter what condition they are facing, there are certain forms of choice and as the speaker asserts the absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare. In fact, as far as I am concerned, making a choice is not a simple process which is often limited by various factors including the objective condition, the moral standards and the emotional requirements.
First of all, in spite of our lasting efforts, people's behavior can not break away from the limitation of nature. In the ancient times, when the technology and science were still staying in a relatively poor condition, much of people's behavior should take into account of the natural factors, otherwise mankind would fail almost in every aspect such as agriculture, commerce and transportation. The most understandable example is that they could not choose when to plant their crops or what to plant in their farmland but according to the climate and geological factors. Under that condition, it was hard for people to expect their own choices but to obbey the rule of nature. Nowadays, with the rapid progress of technology and science, people could have much better charge of their own life and behavior than before. However, it is equally important for people today to recognize the limitation of their knowledge and ability and only then could we make further development. 这段说的是人类选择无法拜托自然的约束,并追溯历史。但是最后一句话似乎与你这段开头的话无关。其实关于自然的局限,还有很大一部分可写,那就是人类即使现在做出选择,如果不考虑自然,又会如何,比如人类选择工业效益而放弃自然环境的保护如何如何,等等,可以从较大的方面着手(既然你提到了这么大的方面,不妨写得更深入些,既然说了古代,最好不要把现代一笔带过)。
Besides the absence of choice when we come across the limitation of nature, as a component of the society, one's choice is also influenced by his social obligation. Although we are instilled in a sense of individual responsibility from our childhoods, as a matter of fact, individuals should undertake their social obligations which are the symbols of their maturity and the premise of development of a society. Therefore, when we make some choice, what we should necessarily consider is whether our choices conform to the requirements of the whole society and whether they are legal in terms of the moral standards although within the laws. For instance, the chemistry scientists who were asked to research the nuclear weapons by the Naze had the single choice that was to say no considering the great damages the weapons would bring to the world.嗯,这个例子很独到。 Similarity, if a company intends to invest a new plant which would generates enormous containment to the environment, what is the choice of its executive? I promise that the only answer of the executive to this question is to give up because of the benefits of the whole society. Accordingly, we can easily see that the social characteristics(the social environment where the person lives in) of a person place limitation on his choice. 哦,我刚才还没看下来,你此处提到了环境,把它作为社会责任方面的限制,也可以,那上面就换一个例子好了^_^
Finally, the nature of humanity and the emotional requirement also play a significant role in influencing the people's choice. Today, more and more attention is paid on the nature of humanities: we are characteristic of the emotions which makes us unable to be regardless of our family, our friends and our belove ones when making choice. As illustrated in the famous Hoolywood film “The Titanic”:the male character Jack who had the opportunity to choose whether to live or to die. However, for his lover, he could only give up the chance.
In conclusion, as discussed above, the speaker oversimplifies the process of choice. The emotions of humanities and the relationships between them are so complex that we should take into consideration so many factors that result the difficulty of our choices. 感觉你这儿好像没有把你上文的观点整个阐述一下?
思路清晰,语法的小问题我改在里面了,没有用单独的括号改,因为问题不大。例子也很好。写得不错哦!^_^ |
