我修改了一下
The saying mentioned above forgets an important thing, which study is not just to see world with different eyes, but to change the world with your hands. We see it, we know and then we change it! The study of an academic discipline can tell us the mechanisms of a lot of things,(:) with the knowing of such principles (还可以用doctrines, laws, maxims), we can grasp the basic character of the object, divide the object into many elements, and then change(还可以用modify, alter, vary, refashion, mutate-mutation根本的) it, as this world is made up of billions of such elements, then we change the world.( 这里的object是某个供我们改造的对象)
Look at the world we have now, how different it is compared with about 10000 years ago: less trees, more desert, houses, big cities, and so on. Why? Just because we change it, and such a difference reflect we human being do things in order to improve our own desires, our wants always changing and so does the world. Since we can change the world to make it different totally, we see it with a different eyes, of course, but the objects is altered by we, and such a shift is done by our brain, we do it according to some kind of academic discipline: we have(原来是need) to survive, get more offspring, conquer more lands to cultivate foods, cut more woods to build houses, breed dogs and hogs to raise more meat for storage and so on. Academic discipline is not just a profound theory, so does some basic factors.
We are fighting(原来是dealing) with the world all over the time, the god of the heaven always give more fire to the human race.(天上的神给人类火种,取自古希腊神话) Every spark can give us a new discipline to do something, we learned it, then we use it. Now we can destroy the world with nuclear weapons, we just find a short way to end the life of all the human race easily. We should think more about what we can do with what we know, what we see. More scientific methods can be used to change the world to a proper direction, protect some of the landscape in this world to give a free farm to our next generation, "left more gold to our child, but let them find with a hard work, can bring more benefit than gold itself", as a story teller said, give more unknown and mystery to our child, let them be more happily.
A balance between what we see and what we do is essential, the academic principle is the same, when we find some theory is useful to change something else, please let us sit down for a cup of coffee, think it careful for a while: once we develop such a new technology, will it be harmful to our world, if we do not get it, does thing will go better, if it can bring good to this world indeed, will it bring long, and how about what we lose during getting it. With a better consideration, we can simile happily at last. But even when simile, we should not forget the fire alarm near us.
Experience is helpful in discussing these things when we can not decide which road is better, we can follow the footprint of others when we are confused. But remember, we should be carefully all the time, we change the discipline, we change the world, we change our eyes, we change all, carefully! |
