"No matter what the siruation, it is more harmful to compromise one's beliefs than to adhere to them."
When facing with the serious situation that oppose to his belief, one has to make a choice between compromising with others and adhering to it. The speaker claimed that compromising would bring more harm rather than(这里用rather than好像有点不妥,在我印像中rather than 表示”不是……而是……“的意思,那你岂不是说不是坚持而是妥协带来更多害处?好像不通吧。) the action of adhering does. As far as I am concerned, the choice has to be under serious consideration before it is made according to the different situations.
Under some circumstances, adherence to his own belief is the best way to guide an individual out of troubles and chaos. Take myself as an instance. In the process of my preparation for GRE examinationGRE中的E就是examination的缩写,这里就不用examination了吧, the high standards for AW and the difficulty in memorizing huge amount of vocabulary made me depressed. Moreover, one of my friends quitted the test at the last moment in last October. The only thing that inspired me to carry on and stimulated me to study harder is my belief that I can succeed in this test so as to continue my further study. It may seem a bit unbelievable that confidence in oneself-only a psychological factor is among the reason to carry on an a "mission impossible". Yet for me, without the courage and stimulation from my belief I am not sure whether I can sit here to complete my AW test. From this point of view, the adherence to belief supplies with courage and bravery to people in despair while the compromise leads loss and giving up.最后一句很经典的说!
On the other hand, it is wise to choose compromise rather than arbitrary adherence when all things illustrated that his/her belief is no longer proper or correct. Belief, which has been long existed in many minds of people, to certain extent may contain something banal or overdue. As the society develops at such a rapid speed, the conflict between the newly-born perspectives and the old belief is occurring in any place, at any time. At this moment, the choice of compromise sounds reasonable and preferable. Back to decades of years ago, it was believed that women who intent to work outside were regarded as evil; however, with the process of Industrial Revolution, increasing population of women chose to go outside at the same time society had to compromise to accept this newly customs and changed the social belief. In conclusion, compromise to the change or even opposition implies no shame but the wisdom and the endurance of an individual and of a society.
怎么说呢,觉得这一段的例子有点跑,妇女出外工作,这个好像不能说是社会对其的一种妥协吧。这似乎就默认了整个社会是在歧视女性,而我记得在东方上课的时候,戈戈说ETS是对女权主义情有独钟的,万一它们看到你这个例子后,觉得不爽,那就有点不太妙了。
What should a person do-someone may ask, if he faces with contrast between firm belief or rapid shift? Unfortunately, no one knows. Although after the analysis in the earlier two paragraphs, it may remind people that the arbitrary and firm determination is unwise, we still have no idea how to make a "wisest" choice between them to reduce the "harm" to the greatest extent. It is impossible for anyone to make a choice for others, or to be made a choice by others 这个地方好像就不通,建议把made换成given好些. The best way solving this problem is based on one's own experience, logical analysis and feelings. Diversity of people may draw a different conclusion after analysis and make distinguished choices of the same thing.
Admittedly, going to extreme seems easier and more direct; while making choice is always confusing and difficult for people, since nobody could predict whether the choice is right or wrong until the result comes out. Yet it is more sophisticated for people to alter the different process due to the complicated conditions even if the results of these two may be the same.
我们这么熟了,就不跟你客气了。优点我就不说了,虽然还是很多呐:)我就说说我觉得不足的吧。正文部分第一段的个人例子不错,没什么好说的。第二段的例子就觉得有点跑,意见上面也有。看了imong的帖子之后,赞同他的观点。建议你要么改一下TS,要么把例子的针对性改一下,说清楚到底是谁在compromise.
第三段好像就是在各打15大板,到底要是要坚持还是妥协呢,你没有说。这样就让人觉得你的文章的立场不鲜明。其实我也明白你想表达的意思,如果换了我,我也会这么去思维。但写起来,总还是应该有个偏重点,不然就容易写成骑墙,模糊了你的观点。可以这么说,坚持自己信仰是成功所必备的,但在某种情况下却不得不做出一些小小的妥协。
除了上面这些,我就没什么意见了。羡慕你的vocabulary和sentence variety啊~~~~~ |

生命是鱼,生活是水.
而灵魂是鱼听到大海的声音,
即使它游不过去.
千里迢迢的路途,
翻山越岭,漂洋过海,
依旧有沉重的现实要去面对和承受,
所有的感情都会逐渐平静和淡忘
