Our history is full of great people. According to the speaker, their greatness cannot be decided by their contemporaries, but should be evaluated merely by their descendants. In my opinion, however, the great individuals could be estimated both by those who live after them as well as their contemporaries, which has been substantiated by history.
Indeed, many great people didn't win applauding and encouraging when they were alive which was, nevertheless, neither their own fault nor the mistake of that era 最好用age/period. The most possible reason is that most of them cannot be understood by their contemporaries , because their notions and behaviors are so far advanced that exceed the limit of common cognition. Galileo, regarded as the father of modern astronomy, had to conflict with Roman Catholic Church because of his challenge to Aristotle. Van Gogh, having great influence on expressionism, died in poverty and misunderstanding, leaving splendid Sunflowers and The Starry Night to us. Many great people suffered from unfair condemnation and repulsion. For their elegant believe, they even sacrificed for their advancement under the pressure of their contemporaries. Therefore, their great achievement can merely be accepted and decided by their descendants who have enough understanding and knowledge.这一段写得很棒,排比的例子很有说服力.行文也很流畅,但结尾显得有一点突兀,不如段首的架势
We should recognize that the knowledge of common people, even the government, always hang behind the harbingers' who give rise to numerous ideas never heard before and create countless works, seemingly surprising and secret. Whether they are great has to wait for the justification of the history and the progress of common people's acknowledgement. We named an artificial satellite Galileo for memory of this great scientist. The Red Vineyard, a Van Gogh's famous painting created in 1888, sold for only 400 francs (US$68 today), is on display in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, Russia. It is due to the development of modern astronomy and fine arts, which cause modern people to reestimate the value of their lives.
However, not every great individual have to go through such an anguished course of being decided. Much of their contribution, as brilliant as Galileo's research and Van Gogh's Sunflowers, benefits people during their lives, which leads contemporaries regard them as heroes. Bill Gates, one of the richest individuals around the world, constructed an electronic empire to bring an entire revolution of our modern life. Nowadays, There are nearly half of personal computers installed Windows, an operating system designed by Microsoft which is created by Bill, which is a legend of electronic and commercial history. Stephen Hawking, the author of the Brief History of Time, is not only famous for his great scientific theory, but also influence many people by his fighting with severe MND. Fortunately, the contemporaries have been beneficial by his innovation and have enough intelligence and knowledge to recognize his greatness. We appreciate and applaud for them, recording their names on the milestone of history to tell our descendants how great they are.折断的两个例子是全文中用得最好的,段尾的总结很有散文的味道
All in all, great people bring us new eras. In my opinion, the progress of science and knowledge is faster and faster, which will lead us to decide the greatness of contemporary individuals as possibly as we could. However, maybe some of their advanced ideas could not be accepted temporarily, at least precise and exoteric atmosphere of our community will provide them esteem to justify themselves later.
