题记作为AW版的传统项目,同主题写作一直以其参与范围广、写作效率高、互动性强的特点而倍受版友关注。在过去的考试中,参与同主题写作已被证明对准备作文有着相当好的作用。通过看已有的分析,可以让我们快速进入一道题的写作状态,而之后的相互修改,则能让我们看到不同版友的想法,从而对自己的文章加以改进。在0806G作文高峰即将到来之迹,我们按计划推出了本次同主题写作活动,旨在帮助版友快速入门AW写作,并多写多参与,提高自己的作文水平。

选题本次活动选取了在08年2月出现频率颇高的ISSUE212,希望能帮助版友梳理下对于“任何”及关键词定义特殊写法的思路,并助各位在遇到212的时候顺利过关。

本题08年2月机经中出现3次,07年1月之前的机经总频中出现68次,总频排名37位。


题目解读
212 "If a goal is worthy, then any means taken to attain it is justifiable.  
"  
212. 如果一个目标是值得的,那么追求目标的任何手段都是正当的。


本题的讨论对象是两个,即goal和means,主观判断词两个,worthy和justifiable,范围定义副词为any,是个典型的假设结构ISSUE。

我们来看下四个关键词解释(引用自M-W在线词典):

Main Entry: goal  Pronunciation: \ˈgōl, chiefly Northern especially in 1b & 3a also ˈgül\ Function: noun Etymology: Middle English gol boundary, limit Date: 1531 1 a: the terminal point of a race b: an area to be reached safely in children's games

2: the end toward which effort is directed : aim

3 a: an area or object toward which players in various games attempt to advance a ball or puck and usually through or into which it must go to score points b: the act or action of causing a ball or puck to go through or into such a goal c: the score resulting from such an act
synonyms see intention


Main Entry: 4mean Function: noun Date: 14th century 1 a (1): something intervening or intermediate (2): a middle point between extremes b: a value that lies within a range of values and is computed according to a prescribed law: as (1): arithmetic mean (2): expected value c: either of the middle two terms of a proportion

2plural but sing or plural in constr : something useful or helpful to a desired end

3plural : resources available for disposal; especially : material resources affording a secure life


两条名词的解释都很明确,一个是目的一个是手段,没什么好争议的,所以定义讨论也不必要。


Main Entry: 1wor·thy Pronunciation: \ˈwər-thē\ Function: adjective Inflected Form(s): wor·thi·er; wor·thi·est Date: 13th century 1 a: having worth or value : estimable <a worthy cause> b: honorable, meritorious <worthy candidates>

2: having sufficient worth or importance <worthy to be remembered>


这个词就值得探讨了,在解释中出现了“sufficient”这样的字眼——到底什么算作sufficient importance or worth?这需要衡量所有的利弊条件后才能得出,所以这也就得出本文正面观点的一个出发方法:巧妙定义worthy

Main Entry:
jus·ti·fi·able  Pronunciation: \ˈjəs-tə-ˌfī-ə-bəl\ Function: adjective Date: 1561 : capable of being justified : excusable <justifiable family pride — Current Biography>



Main Entry: jus·ti·fy Pronunciation: \ˈjəs-tə-ˌfī\ Function: verb Inflected Form(s): jus·ti·fied; jus·ti·fy·ing Etymology: Middle English justifien, from Anglo-French or Late Latin; Anglo-French justifier, from Late Latin justificare, from Latin justus Date: 14th century transitive verb
1 a: to prove or show to be just, right, or reasonable b (1): to show to have had a sufficient legal reason (2): to qualify (oneself) as a surety by taking oath to the ownership of sufficient property

2 aarchaic : to administer justice to barchaic : absolve c: to judge, regard, or treat as righteous and worthy of salvation

3 a: to space (as lines of text) so that the lines come out even at the margin b: to make even by justifying <justified margins>

intransitive verb
1 a: to show a sufficient lawful reason for an act done b: to qualify as bail or surety

2: to justify lines of text


看到这个词是不是很敏感会想到ISSUE17的just?这里同样用到了just去定义justifiable。不过同时还有right, reasonable等词,至于解释b(1)的legal reason则现得有点远,因为这词没有在讨论法律,结合之前worthy我们可以认为这里的justifiable就是“能被认为是公平、正确、合理的”,简单说,就是对的。

整题翻译下来是不是很象我们常说的一句“为达目的可以不择一切手段”?只是这个目的被限定了一下。

其实题目本身很简单,是一个选择正确与否的题目,很难归类到哪个大类,也不难写,我们应该经常能看到类似的辩论赛。但想写好还是得动点脑子,因为AW不会就这么简单。

破题思路

以下进入对本题写作思路的分析,我们不妨从两个方面来讨论本题的思路,即正面观点和反面观点。

PART01、正面观点:如果目的值得,那么一切手段都能被认为是公平、正确、合理的。

把这个观点说出来的时候,我们不妨构想一个画面:一个冷静、睿智、多少有点缺乏人情味的领导,对着属下说出这番话(HEROES里的Linderman? Nathan? Bob?),很明显,话语成立的关键是在“值得”二字,而成立的结果则是“justifiable”。所以如果要说明此话成立,就要建立这二者的关系。

首先说worthy。之前的解读部分已经明确了它的定义,也就是sufficient worth or importance。也就是说它本身是一个非常好的肯定观点的砝码。一定承认目标的确是worthy,即sufficient worth or importance,那么认可它几乎是不言自明的了。因此我们不妨对worthy的定义方式进行展开——如何才能算是sufficient worth or importance呢? 统筹各项结果,做到效益最大,令最多的人受益,有足够的科学依据,成本在预计之内,可以实施……我这里给出一些思路,具体的可以探讨。

然后说justifiable。有意思的是本题没有用just,也没有用justified,而是justifiable。这其中的微妙关系各位可以体会下:因为之前的worthy已经是一个很主观的词了,如果这个词再用主观的判断词,那么就会让题目观点过于偏执,令正面观点难以进行,即使进行,恐怕同时定义worthy和另一个如此主观的词也会很困难。所以本题使用了一个相对客观的词语:justifiable。既然有被动就有使动者,这里手段被认为正确的动作执行者应该是社会,或者大部分人。如此一来整个题目的基调就从一个主观的判断句变成了一个讨论社会如何界定行为是否合理的句子,其立意高了一块,我们考生的出发点也就更学术了。

最后当然是不少人一直头疼的any,它总会让一些人对正面观点心生畏惧,就象GRE阅读的答案选项中出现这类词(any, only等等)通常不对一样,any一出现,就囊括了所有情况。基数一大,比例再小,也会失足。不过不要怕,这里的any已经被worthy限定了。既然已经讨论了是worthy的,那么any也就是在worthy范围之内的了,这样一定义,其实就容易了很多。再加上后文的justifiable更偏重于人们的主观选择情绪,所以用any自然就没问题了。

通过对上面三个词的讨论,我们大致可以得出一个正面观点的提纲:

开篇提出观点。
BODY首段界定worthy的定义,进行讨论。if we admitted they are worthy, then why don't we accept the means to obtain them? the means are worthy too。
BODY第二段提出justifiable的出发点,鼓励对被验证值得的目标大胆实践。our society needs right choice.
第三段限定any,让步讨论。any worthy means but not any means.
第四段得出合理解决方案。without such a concern our society will be trapped in fears.


PART02、反面观点:即使目的看上去是值得的,也不是一切手段都能被认为是公平、正确、合理的。

看了前面的分析会不会觉得此题的正面观点无懈可击?别怕,ISSUE的题目永远不会是只能写一边观点的。其实正面观点的破绽在举例的时候已经很明显了,HEROES里的Linderman是坏蛋,Bob就算不算坏的估计喜欢他的人也不多吧。

我们还是来讨论三个关键词,worthy, justifiable and any。

首先和北美的ISSUE17一样,对just的攻击同样对worthy有效:不存在绝对的worthy。即使是权衡了大多数的人利益,还是有人会受到伤害,即使是衡量过得失,还是有失去。而有些事物是否worthy不是第一眼就能看出的,我们不是神,所以我们不能什么都做。

然后是justifiable。因为定义了动作执行者,所以我们同样可以讨论:just与否是主观的,有的人觉得just,有的人觉得不是。所以对于达到目的的行为是否just,即使目的worthy,means的认同也难以得到共识。何况有些means是否justifiable在一开始是看不出的,只有最后达到了goal或者影响暴露出来才可以评判。题目的考虑构成了提前判断。

而any则构成了本题反面观点最重要的攻击点。如果说正面观点是通过限定和模糊any使观点合理化,那么反面观点就是将这种“任何”想法的危险指出使观点合理化:任何会人们变得肆无忌惮,法律、道德、素质等准绳会随着这种观点的泛滥而失去约束。换句话说,就是 恶劣影响法攻击。

通过这些讨论,我们也可以得出一个反面观点的大致提纲:
开篇提出观点:(这里我限制了个“看上去”,这样能让反面观点有强有力。当然这里的“看上去”写的时候还不能直接写,那样是歪曲题目意思,只能在补充讨论中提到)
BODY第一段讨论worthy的主观性和不可预见性。
第二段提出justify的不可行性。
第三段提出这种观点可能带来恶劣影响。
第四段让步讨论,并不意味着我们不能大胆想办法,但一定要小心验证,在大胆假设之后。

PART03、总结

从PART01、02的讨论我们不难看到,其实所有有关此题的讨论最后是殊归同途的,即合理要试,但不能过头。

这题我在思考的时候也想过平衡观点,但由于题目的叙述很短,范围很大,所以最后就形成了非此即彼的判断,因此平衡观点很难做到正面回应题目,有跑题的危险,因此难以构建。如果有高人能有适合此题的平衡观点提纲,望不吝赐教。

对于这道题的理解,我个人的认为其背景存在于改革的激进派和保守派之前。前者认为在衡量一切可以衡量的标准后有些变革可以做出,而且需要大刀阔斧,而后者则认为我们不能预料变革带来的联动效应,所以任何行为都不能轻易做出。除了分析,我们还有经验、历史等可以参考的问题,但即便如此想要得出绝对合理的结论也很困难。

类似的这种背景思路能够升华文章主题,让文章应用性变强,也显得更有依据,所以不妨在写作中多多尝试这样的讨论。

最后有关本题的参考资料,用GOOGLE搜“Is it worthy?”“justifiable means”就能找出不少有用的资料。所以我也就不代劳了。

俺竟然是传说中的沙发,着实掐了下自己胳膊,竟然是真的。楼下那位俺对不起你了,小妹向你道歉。
既然沙发俺连夜也要写完,希望使徒大斑斑给俺提题高见:)

下面俺的提纲:
position: disagreement

body1: the confusion on definitin of "worthy", eg: tax-cut policy and tax-increase policy.
对于什么是值得的很难定义。如果涉及个人,个人往往从自身利益出发,则会可能影响周围人的利益。
如果涉及社会或国家,不能满足每一个人,何况整体本身很难达成一致。
例子:增税政策利于穷人,减税政策利于富人。

body2: the feasibility of the means, eg: Prevention of African malaria.
即便目的值得,也要方法可行。因为有时好的愿望伴随不恰当的过程结果就事与愿违。
例子:改善非洲人民健康状态,应该为他们多捐蚊帐以防疟疾而不是投资建健身房。

body3: we have choices and could reach the goal as long as we conduct specific tests.
尽管诸多限制,但选择处处存在,我们要做的是验证修改再验证以达到最佳的方法。时间紧,就没举例子。

https://bbs.gter.net/thread-808128-1-1.html  有兴趣的同学可以去看看。本来我还总结了更多注意事项,结果那天网络不好,发得时候,没了。
第二版感言简略些。细心的同学可以自己去体会修改前后的区别。

看到了使徒斑斑的点评,非常感谢在百忙之中抽出时间!!!
上两天受了点挫折,自我整顿了一下,一直没上寄托,所以今天才看到。
原因如下:碰巧有机会联系到学校的英语公选课外教,厚着脸皮请对方帮我看一次作文,
用的就是这篇。结果,基本上就是要REWRITE,因为问题太多了。

且不论语法上的错误,论证上也有很大的问题。我自以为有逻辑性的论证其实很可笑。
对方很认真地一句话一句话帮我批改下来,后来由于时间不够,关于街尾段部分没有讨论到,
我昨天自己按照意见改写的时候,他没有教的地方我就完全不知道如何是好了。。。。
非常郁闷。。。。

但是为了让大家以我为训,尽量避免同杨德错误,我会发帖把原文和修改好的部分,以及外教的总评语贴出来。
认为自己语法已经很扎实的同学就不必来看了。。。

还剩不多的时间,必须振作了。大家也要加油。

Issue212  If a goal is worthy, then any meanstaken to attain it is justifiable.

值得不值得是相对的.人们对价值的定义不同.
人们对价值的看法已经不同了,手段正当不正当也很难有定论,要成功就要付出全部努力,要坚定自己一切为之的手段都是正当的.
思考太多关于手段的问题是没有用的,反而会阻挡我们实现目标.
总之,为了一个确定的目标, 的确需全力付出.

我是 spring 小组的.

楼下的作文已完成修改!

Issue212提纲

//首先,什么是worthy很难定义,对于不同的对象,不同的利益立场,不同情况下来看都是不同的。

//假设在某种意义上对于某个对象是worthy的,我们也不能盲目地去追求,还要考虑是否可行,付出的代价是否高于回报

//接下来讨论达到positive,rational,proper goal 的方法,是有很多追求目标的手段是正当的,尽管也会带来一些问题。


//但是我们不能否认有很多不正当的手段。违背了这些,取得了任何成就,人们都不会承认的

//总结:我看来,作者的观点是错误的。首先我们要确定一个目标是合法的,合理的才能去追求。在这个前提条件下也不是所有手段都是合理的,我们必须要综合考虑

ISSUE212 - "If a goal is worthy, then any means taken to attain it is justifiable."
WORDS: 650+          TIME: 02:00:00         DATE: 2008-2-22 14:26:00

I do not agree with that author that any means to achieve the goal is justifiable if this is a worthy goal. As the definition of worth and justifiable varies from one person to another, that might led to a disorder if each would take any means that he(he or she) thought worthy to attain a target. In addition, in a society like nowadays, we are calling for reach (reaching) our termination by some legal and rational means.

To begin (with), the first problem with this issue is what is worthy differentiates by each people's understanding. Different people have varied educational and social backgrounds, regional belief and value system to teach them what the things they are willing to pursue are. Among them, the social status and regional belief affect this definition of what is worthy most. The first point is, that for a person living in the upper class in a society, he/she are (is) so eager in need of reputation satisfactory, that would lead to them to take well-populated by publics for granted.(这句话是什么意思?) Meanwhile, people who live in the lowest level of the society, pursuit of escaping from hungry and thirsty, diseases and epidemics are of the first importance, which makes them to regard it as a worthwhile thing to do. That is a shape contrast of the definition between people in the different society status. The other point is regional belief; we can clearly figure the destructive results of "human bomb" made by some regional parties in East-Middle. For them, devoting themselves for the regional instruction takes the prime priority. But for most of us, who do not have that regional belief, would not consider in this kind of devotion as a worth thing.

Yet another problem with this issue is that the understanding of justifiable. Even one think something worth doing to attain a goal, do(does) that mean that anything, including some violation of moral regulations and laws, is adoptive? Before we arrive at a conclusion, we should be ready to make our definition of justifiable clear. Thus what is justifiable? In my opinion, something justifiable means doing something is right reasonable(这句感觉有语病), but also shows the justice of these actions, having the same bending to each part of the whole community. If any misunderstand of the definition occurs, that would lead to trouble. For instance, Saddam, in order to meet his desire of authority, invaded Kuwait in 1990, which interrupted the international order and brought about devastating damage to the people in Kuwait. Can his action be regarded as justifiable? No, of course is not. If so, the world nowadays may be immersed in a sea of wars. Because human are born with ever-increasing desire of controlling more, if invasion based on the desire of control, (这个例子觉得不恰当,他本身的目的就是不worthy的,所以方法怎样结果都不是好的,如果这个例子放在第一段到还可以,但是在第二段,已经抛开目的谈方法了不如说个目的正确但方法不对的,比如人类想发展社会却又造成污染之类。) is justifiable, each would pursuit for the meet of his/her desire by the means of wars. Therefore, not only is justifiable things something showing its justice for society, but also something regulate people's behaviors, at least not to violate the laws.

Surely, I reach a negative answer to the question arose in the beginning of the passage before. But does that mean we, if wanting to attain a goal, cannot do anything we thought is right? They answer again is no.

In the course of reaching goals, we often have more than one path to the termination, among which we should choose the most justifiable one. We might do something within the allowance of moral regulations and laws as well as to resort for some help  (to没记错的话求助于是这个词组) the government. There might be some cases, for a newly-establishing company, it might apply for a decreased tax rather than escaping taxes privately. Two of means would help to attain to the same goal, but the latter one is not justifiable, which should be the last choice of people. Indeed, the society we lived in is calling for justice. With the premise that each member in our society act in a reasonable, rational and justifiable way, we would welcome a better society.

全文用了很多第一人称,感觉有些主观,很多地方可以尝试换一下的,显得更客观可信些。说的不好的莫见怪哦。
你的文章好像被封了啊

这个是俺的文章,也请帮俺看看吧

我的提纲~
212.If a goal is worthy, then any means taken to attain it is justifiable.
一.作者认为,只要一个目标是有价值的,那么不管采取何种手段来实现它都是正当的。在我看来,我不能同意作者的观点,对于一个真正有价值的目标,要实现它,也必须得采取正当的,合理的手段,而不能如作者所说采取任何手段。
二.各种各样的目标都会对各种各样的人有着不同意义的价值,对于那些真正有意义,值得去实现的目标,的确应该付出努力去实现。纵观人类历史,不正是通过一次又一次实现自己的目标来推动历史进步的吗?比如:两次诺贝尔获得者巴丁
三.当涉及到实现手段时,在我看来,不应该像作者认为的那样可以使用任何手段。人们应该使用正当的,符合规则,符合法律的手段。人类的任何行为都必须在规则下合理的进行,也只有这样,努力才更有价值。比如:商业领域中,商家为了最大限度得获取利益,就减小成本,而采取一些不法行为,这是不对的。
四.实现目标,我们要综合考虑各种正负得失,对为了实现目标而采取的活动和手段加以限制和规定,在这些规定下,做最大的努力去实现它。

发一篇自己的习作 帮忙改改 谢谢

Issue 212 If a goal is wrothy, then any means taken to attain it is justifable.
WORDS:542  TIME : 00:45:00
Everyone has a goal, be it ordinary, sublime, or mundane; and everyone has the freedom and right to pursue his or her own career, to conduct his or her own affairs without others’ interference. Nevertheless, it does not equal to that one could use any means for the purpose of attaining the goal, nor could it prove that those means are always justifable, even if the goal ,in itself, is worthy pursuing.

Admittedly, in modern society, people are free to demonstrate their various abilities and their creative thinkings in order to attain the goal. One desires to be a singer or a dancer could make every efforts to show his talent in singing or dancing; one wishes to make great achievements in academic fields could devote himself into any field he likes and freely exerts his creativity and ability in doing experiments and researches(Even challenging the authority is permitted and encouraged, for it is also a good way to attain the truth); and for those who wants to be the millionaires, they could try every proper attempt to maximize their profits and increase their market share. After all, whatever else may be said, it is human’s basic right to set one’s own goal and freely pursue it, no one could deny it.

On the contrary, free does not mean without any restrictions. People in the West are growing concerned about personal or private affairs’ influence on the society, that is to say, any deeds that may bring negetive effects to others, to the environment, or even to the entire human race is stirctly banned. For instance, it is impossible for allowing Hitler or Sadam to continue their atrocity in their own way, despite both of them claimed to bring peace and harmony to the world, which is indeed a worthy goal. Certain measures must be taken to stop their deeds because they have already violate other’s rights. In addition, the reason that no company dares to gain its profits on the cost of destroying the environment or disturbing the ecosystem, no scitentist could ,for the sake of his own fame, plagrise other’s dissertations or achievements.

Deep down, in some cases,even if the goal is worthy or beneificial, no one could attain it through illegal ways or vicious methods. If we cast a look at the industry of technology, we could find that although each company is not willing to low down the price, they have no other choice but to do so, for price-rigging is committed a economic crime which harms the benefit of consumers. In a not dissimilar way, bribing the referees or the judgers is also regarded illegal in any kind of sports games, due to it will break the law of justice.

In sum, to simply say that any means taken to attain a worthy goal is justifable obviously omits moral standard, principle’s regulation, and even more severe, the existence of law. Here, it is not to restrain people’s ardor and passion toward the goal but only to regulate the attempts to pursue the goal in a proper field. As long as one could endeavor to attain a positive goal under the principle of moral standard and the law, it is justifable. Besides, it undoubtedly deserves praising and encouraging.

基本观点:否定
1.没有绝对的worthy,对于不同的背景,不同的信仰和价值体系都不同的。
2.即使是对于公认有价值的目标,用不择手段来得到goal都不是合理,但是对于正当手段的理解,是决定于个人的。
3.在行动时,我们要考虑是否可行,付出的代价是否高于回报。

处女作,用了超过3个小时,ft!~
