Issue69 "Government should place few, if any, restrictions on scientific research and development"
Referring to the question whether government should put few restrictions on scientific research and development, I strongly disagree with the speaker. Though the freedom of science should be respected, yet(多余了) the government must put the scientific research under control, and lead it to a healthy and stable way.
政府应当鼓励甚至强制进行一些有益于社会的科学研究。
First of all, the meaning of scientific development for government is utterly different from the one for scientist: serving the people and the society for the former whereas satisfying his or her own interest for the latter. Nearly all the scientists devote their vigor to the science because of their curiosity(这句话有些太绝对了). If the result of the physical experiment is clear or the answer of the mathematic problem is certain, no one will waste any time for that. Thus it is the government's duty to instigate or even enforce the scientists to focus on to a certain extent on the research which would benefit the people and the society in the near future, although the research may not be the scientists' favorite. To search an example, we need not go any further than the research on improvement of crop yields, which is heavily recalled for especially when the population problem is tough. Therefore, the reasonable control of the government is indispensable for scientific development.本段一开始并没有把问题说清楚。这其实是一个让步段,我觉得应该让开首词和TS点清楚,不然显得有些太绕了。这一段好像在论述政府应当控制(control)而非限制(restrict)科学研究。
对于科学研究的适度控制可以有效地防止一些不好的甚至可能给人类带来灾难的研究。
In addition, the moderate control of the research is helpful to prevent the evil purpose and the great disaster. It is commonly known that science is a weapon of two edges: it can destroy the world although it has brought us tremendous comfort and civilization. The atomic energy is a case in such point. With the fusion reaction producing unimaginable amount of energy, the global energy problem is solved in some way, yet meanwhile the emergence of nuclear weapon becomes a new global issue. As for scientific research of that kind, the government should completely control its progress, and even cancel it if there is any necessity. Without effective political effort, the injuries caused by the science will be much more than the ones cured by it.这一段论述得较清晰。但是不是核问题这个例子举得人太多了?
资源有限,政府应该把资源进行更合理的分配,因此应适度控制科研。也即有钢使到刀刃上。
Finally, we should not be blind to (the fact that) the fact that the total quality of resource is limited. Although the meaningful and significant scientific research is to produce more resource for the people's life, it will cost a lot in its procedure in turn, such as lab, money, and even human resource. Given the limited amount of resource, too much for one research indicates the others attain less correspondingly. Thus, it is the government's obligation to allocate the resource as rational as possible. Although some research will become good for people and society after one hundred years, we should pay more attention to the one which is more pragmatic. For example, as for the air-pollution problem, we should focus more on the research on exploring a new kind of energy such as solar rather than inventing whimsical machinery which can turn the exhausted gas into oxygen. Hence, only with the government involved, can the total scientific research's development be balanced and make the maximum reward.
Given those above, government should place all the necessary restriction on scientific research rather than let matters slide. Only with the government's leadership, will the scientific development progress in a balanced way.
写得很好,思路很清晰。结构上再加工一下,让TS能更醒目地跳出来,可能会更好一些吧! |
