Issue 217
In order to produce successful original work, scholars and scientists must first study the successful work of others to learn what contributions remain to be made.
为了产生成功的作品,学者和科学家必须首先学习其他人的成功作品,进而知道还有哪些成就是没有做的。
The speaker suggests that scholars and scientists should study others’ works firstly and find out the remaining contribution 这个表达方法和what contributions remain to be made可以互换吗?觉得有些怪怪的 in order to produce their own original work. I strongly agree with this assertion, since researching others’ work could help one gain not only the background knowledge, but also some inspirations.
No one could produce any original work without assimilating the former contributions in relative fields. As a student, we have deep impressions about the arduous and dull tasks before doing a research, referring to many books or magazines and collecting much information 这个并列结构的形式不统一,如果词性能一致就更好了,另外可以直接说:referring to collecting more information from books, magazines, and other sources, especially the students in social science社会科学,这里是不是把范围限制小了?. Why is this process necessary? One obvious explanation is that the background knowledge obtained from former contributions is important as a basement of the 觉得用a更好 new research. There is one famous maxim which could support this statement clearly said by Newton that “If I have seen further than certain other men it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants”觉得这句有些复杂,不如拆成两句说的好. It clearly explains the function about former contributions as a foundation of an original work and a stimulus of new ideas.
With the development of social conditions, many premises and assumptions in former contributions have been altered have changed更简洁.首句并未点明本段中心,这样好吗? Just these defects 条件改变就可以认为是defects吗? are where we could revise or change, and then possibly make our own contributions. Take economic theories for an 不定冠词是不是多余? instance. It is not exaggerated to draw a conclusion that nearly all theories in economy, especially in modern ages, are developed from revising or questioning basic assumptions in former theories. The H-O model, a main theory in international economics, emphasizes on? the important function about factor endowments in international trade, whose basic assumptions are that可以省略吗? the countries as trade partners should have a similar production function, a consumer preference, and so on. However, these restrictions are too difficult to be satisfied in real world. It is Leontief, an American economist, who discovered that the reality contradicted with the theory, called the Leontief Paradox 这句读起来有些别扭,不如:who discovered the phenomenon of the reality’s contradiction with this theory, which was called the Leontief Paradox. As a result, he relaxed some assumptions in H-O model and obtained his own original contribution which is more suitable for checking out the current situation. Therefore, there are always some shortcomings in former works, 少连词的说~~ one should firstly study successful works and try to find the place needed to be improved, and then obtain the original work.
In a large larger? sense, what is called “original” work is usually not a work fully new, but an improvement on the work done by previous scholars and scientists. Sciences 科学这一抽象名词,可以有复数吗? have developed thousands of years, inducing that it is too difficult to explore a fully new domain undiscovered by predecessors, unless one has extraordinary original creative ideas, such as Einstein’s principle of relativity. Most scholars and scientists are not as genius as Einstein, so the best way to gain their own work is to make an improvement on formers’ works, either works 这个works可省,要不然用的次数有些多了 in their own field or other relative fields. Gravity Model, a current popular economic model using in use in是什么意思? calculating regional trade in regional organizations, comes from a basic theory in physics. This mode seems a fully original creation in economics, but in fact it is only an improvement on the basis of an existing theory referred from another field这句和前面那句好像是在重复说一件事情,可不可以合二为一?. Therefore, gaining a real original work, not being discovered by predecessors, becomes so difficult that many original works are nothing more than amendments from existing contributions.
To sum up, the feasible approach to gain an original work is to study others’ work at first in order to get background knowledge and inspirations, and then learn the remaining contributions. (577 words) |
