[size=4]74.“The most effective way to communicate an idea or value to large groups of people is through the use of images, not language.”
提纲:
1. 在某些领域,如记录事件,图象更加真实、生动。
2. 而在另外一些领域,如法令法规等必须由文字记录。而且,当涉及个人感情和思想的时候,也只能使用文字,比如哲学著作。
3. 文字和图象的结合往往是最有效的方式。
According to the speaker, using images is a more effective means of communicating an idea or value to large group of people than the use of language, for the reason that images are more vivid and accurate. Although I agree that images have some merits that language has not, there is far more to communicate in life that images cannot achieve, but language can. Thus, the speaker overstates the comparative significance of images.
For the purpose of describing events and experiences, I agree that it is usually more convenient to use video record or a series of pictures than written record. When it comes to the most unforgettable and important days, people would prefer to use video cameras to keep the moments enduring. When an old man opens the album in the afternoon’s sunshine, it is as if that he takes the time machine back to the old days. The welcome to the new-coming baby by his parents, the surprising birthday party of his 18 and the romantic wedding reception full of blessings will all replay.
Nevertheless, for certain other purposes language is more appreciate and advantageous than images. For instance, laws and regulations are best left to written documentations. Moreover, images are of little use when it comes to show the subject impressions, complicated ideas or reflection of an event. Indeed, the four forms of language----speaking, listening, reading, writing are actually more effective to add dimension and richness to the communication. The fact that most books, especially philosophy books are written records properly explains so.
Since images and language have each own advantages, it is necessary to choose proper way in different cases. And, sometimes, the most effective way to communicate is combining the use of images and that of language. For example, textbooks illustrated with pictures and diagrams can always be well comprehended by students. and many films contains offscreen voice to develop the stories.
In sum, the speaker’s assertion overstates the importance of images, at least to some extant. It is true that images are more convincing and vivid, however, language is also needed in express individual’s thoughts and feelings. When it comes to complicated matters, the combining of images and language is a way often used. |
