The function of science is to reassure; the purpose of art is to upset. Therein lies the value of each.
------text------------
The view above seems to separate (C: it is weird to express like that) science and art in their values.(C: You can say: The speaker seems to be separating the values between science and art) But neither is only to reassure or upset. And their value should not be assembled(R: combined) separately(D).
Take science for example. Science reassures us in(C: are you sure “reassure” can be used like that?) revealing many myths such as the cause of thunder, lightening, typhoon. Also many convenience and benefits has science brought us. In knowing microorganisms, we can get antibiosis which is helpful in curing diseases, brewing beer and sour milk. The development in cytology, genetic engineering makes curing the once incurable diseases possible. And thanks to the accelerated development in IT, we can communicate in a more convenient and open(D) way. We chat in chatting rooms or(R: In internet can we chat on line) with the help of software such as QQ, MSN. We send and receive E-mail in just several(D) seconds or minutes(D). We share information, useful sources from(R: much easier on) internet in stead of the old troublesome ways. (C: Is it the function of science or the benefit of science? It seems that you have wasted your words.)
But science is reassuring us while upsetting(R: However, science is upsetting the world also. C: I made the change based on my understanding.). People develop science for the benefits and conveniences of themselves, and sometimes(D) they do not (A: always) think about(R: take care of) the consequences(C: You can use the word: aftermath) while only care about(R: but only) the wealth and benefits at that time(D). Clone is quite promising in solving the problem of human organism deficiency. But cloning the whole human causes dissents in morality. What will the cloned human babies' identity be? What kind of environment shall those cloned babies face? Another example in science upsetting us is pollution. Industrial development has brought us much wealth, but has set a big problem in front of us, that is pollution. Love Canal, a small town in upstate New York, was destroyed by chemical waste that was once legally dumped. People settled there were not told of the toxicity of the chemical waste at first, and the tragedy occurred(R: which leads to the tragedy).
While(R: well), as to art, art(R: it) is indispensable in our lives. When we are tired, discouraged, euphonious music may be quite the essential one to soothe us. Not only art, (A: but also) all(D) other beautiful things such as neat paintings, are to impose us with beauty and a kind of tranquility.
Art also agitates us and causes us to think, introspect, and excite. Take literature for example, we(R: our passion) fluctuates with persons'(R: character’s) experiences in novels while(D), (A: so that we can even) learn to communicate, introspect the actions of our own. Art, as a whole, is a kind of beauty and reflects the state of mind in its time, solve the problem of(R: like) what we are and what we will be and is to serve human for their spirits(?).
Finally, it is not quite exact to say "science is to reassure, art is to upset" and vice versa. Science deals with material things, serving to solve practical problems while begetting other new ones; art is for spiritual enjoyment and introspection, which is untouchable. But both science and art are serving for the benefits of humane beings and they are indispensable for the humane development. And it is up to humane for the function and use of them.
还有一个问题:But science is reassuring us while upsetting. we fluctuate with the person in novels while learn to communicate......我想表达的意思分别是“科学在reassure 我们的同时也upset“和“我们在跟随小说人物一同经历的同时我们也学会了交流......“ 。我的英文书写顺序对吗?我有点拿不定应该那部分放在前面,那部分放在后面。 |
