"It is not the headline-making political events but the seldom-reported social transformation that have the most lasting significance."
Is it the seldom-reported social transformation that has the most lasting significance, as the speaker asserts? Or is it the headline-making political events that have more lasting importance?(这两个问句觉得有点罗嗦,能不能合成一句?) We should not oversimplify these question(s) with an answer of yes or no, concerning the way people usually think about the criteria of judging the significance of social affairs. On balance, I fundamentally agree that the social transformation have the most profound and ever-lasting significance, even though sometimes it appears that the political events are more important.(appears不太好,感觉有点specious的意思,但这里应该是说political events也重要啊)
Why people normally believe the headline-making political events have so much influence? As we experience living in this complex world, what impress us most is always those things that have direct influence on our everyday life. Anytime we look at ourselves, the changes in our of(?) beliefs, in what is on the dinner table, in our preference of dressing seems(seem) to be the consequence of those so-called headline political events. One should look no further than the lives(这个lives好像有点vague) of Iraqi War. What we saw is the replacement of government control as a result of the war itself, and the hottest discussion is always staying in the impact of the War on diverse aspects. Since seeing is believing(有这么说的吗?), the impression of the war is limited to what we have seen(what we have seen应该再明确一点吧?). In short, it is the direct impact of political events on people’s life that makes it appear to be of extremely significance.
感觉这一段写得有点偏,你想说的是直接看到的影响最深,那么headline-making political events和直接看到的有什么联系?没有说清楚。比如说一下大街小巷头版头条都是这个,是不是更好一点。(虽然说Iraqi War在咱们看来是耳濡目染(嘿嘿,用词不当),但不一定对所有人都是啊)
而且,the changes in our beliefs, in what is on the dinner table, in our preference of dressing seem to be the consequence of those so-called headline political events.这句话放在这有点唐突,因为后面并没有说美伊战争对我们的日常生活有什么切实影响
Actually, it is the social transformation that impels the political events. Everything has a reason(这句话好别扭). When drawing the conclusion on(from?) the influence of a political event, we should ask ourselves such a question(ask ourselves such a question -> first consider)--what ignite the occurrence of the event? The Reform and Open Policy in China has brought about magnificent alternations on almost every social realm of Chinese society. But what is the impetus of this policy? In fact, it is the transformation of the ways people think, especially those people in charge, that results in the implement of the policy. The social change brought about by the old policy was proved to be a failure, therefore a more effective and efficient policy had to be sought out. And this policy left the society with the impression of great significance, while actually it is propelled by social transformation in people’s mind.
这一段论述觉得比较牵强,the transformation of the ways people think, especially those people in charge != seldom-reported social transformation.而且用改革开放的例子,实际上感觉更多还是policy决定transformation
As a social individual who lives on the surface of the world, we need to dig inside of the superficial events and figure out what is the real cause. The process of seeking real cause not only help us better analyze the event itself, it(it->but) also brings a brand new way to think--the ability to see through superficial events and grasp the spirit of them. If we could transplant this ability into academic fields, more facts and truth may appear out of nowhere. Actually it is where(?) it was behind the statistics of the experiment(这句没懂), but we master the method to catch them with the ability to think more deeply.
这一段感觉和上面两段有点脱节,是不是应该和politic联系起来?
In sum, even though the headline-making political events normally appear to be of great importance, we should not neglect the real impetus of such events -- the social transformation, which carries a more profound significance.
