Scholars and researchers should not be concerned with whether their work makes a contribution to the larger society. It is more important that they pursue their individual interests, however unusual or idiosyncratic those interests may seem.

观点: 基本反对。学者和研究者的工作应该以社会需要而不是个人兴趣爱好为导向。
提纲：
1.
诚然，个人兴趣能够激发个人工作的热情，有利于出成果。
2.
但是，由于scholars and researchers的社会性，国家和大众花费了很大的财力来支持其研究，反过来他们的工作也应当是对整个国家有利的，这是他们义不容辞的责任。
3.
并且，scholars and researchers一些过于不同寻常的兴趣爱好，尤其是对于一些很知名的scholars and researchers来说，自己的一些usual or idiosyncratic兴趣可能导向年轻人的研究爱好，如果其有偏差，影响社会的发展。

People are always talking about whether the work of scholars and researchers should be guided by their individual interests, even some of which are unusual or idiosyncratic. In my opinion, however, scholars and researchers should concerns more about their work's merits to the society rather than their individual interests, as discussed below.

Admittedly, individual interests, which serve as inexhaustible powers arouse scholars' and researchers' enthusiasm to make sure them work passionately. It seems that the their work is aimless and just directed by the interests, yet the result it brings can never be overlooked, especially in scientific area, where inventions call for curiosity and creativity besides enduring hard work. For example, the first antibiotic drugs, penicillin, was discovered by Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming, who showed great curiosity about the blue-green mould on the petri-dish. Obviously, his great interest of his work lead to this great discovery; suppose if Fleming was forced to do the research he did not like, how could he make such a great contribution to all the human being?

On the other hand, scholars and researchers, as an important part of the society, should also feel obliged to link their work with people's life, or to make a progress with the help of knowledge and technology. In developed countries, colleges and institutions cost billions of dollars every year, hence it is reasonable to give the public an answer where these dollars are spent, or whether these dollars are worthwhile. The scholar’s and researchers’ concern of the whole society instead of their own interests, to some extent satisfies the public, and wins continuous support. Since it is not sure whether some of the interesting ideas of the researchers are beneficial to society, a costly but useless project stemmed from one's curiosity is doomed to fail and evoke denouncement from the public.

Moreover, as for some scholars and researchers, with a high reputation in their research realm they serve as pioneers and have a great influence of the young generation. If they make up their minds and devote themselves to contribute the larger society, positive effects will be lead to and they are good examples of their followers. On the contrary, merely pursuing their own interests which may even be unusual or idiosyncratic, scholars and researchers may lead the young go astray, for no one can tell whether their attempts are true or false. For example, it is said the great physician, spent his late life to prove the existence of God. In individual respect, we can not blame that what he did was ridiculous because it was his own business; yet it should never be proposed since this interest was followed by others, who were distracted from scientific research and all this did no good to society.

To sum up, interests play an important role in researches, they should never be overlooked. As a coin has two sides, however, interests sometimes lead the wrong way even have some negative effect on the public. Moreover, it is the responsibility that scholars and researchers work should more or less contribute to the larger society. For those who work in colleges with their students, they need to think twice before choosing their subjects since their choices sometimes show a trend of the later research.

对了，顺便告诉你我文章里面的那个uninterested应该是disinerested，用错了希望不要误导你~

People are always talking about whether the work of scholars and researchers should be guided by their individual interests, even some of which are unusual or idiosyncratic. In my opinion, however, (这里的转折似乎没有必要，因为前面说的是whether) scholars and researchers should concerns more about their work's merits to the society rather than their individual interests, as discussed below.

Admittedly, individual interests, which serve as inexhaustible powers arouse(arousing) scholars' and researchers' enthusiasm to make sure them work passionately. It (sometimes) seems that (even) the their work is aimless and just directed by the interests, yet the result it brings can never be overlooked, especially in scientific area, where inventions call for curiosity and creativity besides enduring hard work. For example, the first antibiotic drugs, penicillin, was discovered by Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming, who showed great curiosity about the blue-green mould on the petri-dish. Obviously, his great interest of his work lead to this great discovery; suppose if Fleming was forced to do the research he did not like, how could he make such a great contribution to all the human being?(感觉此处反问不是很有力，因为并没有他因为被强迫而一事无成的例子，你觉得呢？)

On the other hand, scholars and researchers, as an important part of the society, should also feel obliged to link their work with people's life, or to make a progress with the help of knowledge and technology. In developed countries, colleges and institutions cost billions of dollars every year, hence it is reasonable to give the public an answer where these dollars are spent, or whether these dollars are worthwhile. The scholar’s and researchers’ concern of the whole society instead of their own interests, to some extent satisfies the public, and wins continuous support.(这点不是对说责任似乎没有太大作用) Since it is not sure whether some of the interesting ideas of the researchers are beneficial to society, a costly but useless project stemmed from one's curiosity is doomed to fail and evoke denouncement from the public.

Moreover, as for some scholars and researchers, with a high reputation in their research realm they serve as pioneers and have a great influence of(on) the young generation.(这点提得很好O(∩_∩)O~) If they make up their minds and devote themselves to contribute the larger society, positive effects will be lead to(这句看着有点别扭) and they are good examples of their followers. On the contrary, merely pursuing their own interests which may even be unusual or idiosyncratic, scholars and researchers may lead the young go astray, for no one can tell whether their attempts are true or false.(前面论述可以压缩，再向后转一点) For example, it is said the great physician, spent his late life to prove the existence of God. In individual respect, we can not blame that what he did was ridiculous because it was his own business; yet it should never be proposed since this interest was followed by others, who were distracted from scientific research and all this did no good to society.(额~最好不要用这个论据吧，美国人好多信上帝的呢)

To sum up, interests play an important role in researches, they should never be overlooked. As a coin has two sides, however, interests sometimes lead the wrong way (and) even have some negative effect on the public. Moreover, it is the responsibility that scholars and researchers work should more or less contribute to the larger society. For those who work in colleges with their students, they need to think twice before choosing their subjects since their choices sometimes show a trend of the later research.(最后一句看不出来作用，是说要贡献社会呢还是要根据自己兴趣呢，再考虑下吧)

思路清晰，最后一个论点提的很好，但是论据还是再换下吧~
还有，似乎LZ有时候很喜欢用以以一些不是很有用的的小补充，恩……
呵呵，这次我终于没写跑题

People are always talking about whether the work of scholars and researchers should be guided by their individual interests, even some of which are unusual or idiosyncratic. In my opinion, however, scholars and researchers should concerns more about their work's merits to the society rather than their individual interests, as discussed below.(LZ的首段很简明，观点很清楚)
Admittedly, individual interests, which serve as inexhaustible powers arouse scholars' and researchers' enthusiasm to make sure them work passionately. It seems that the （去掉）their work is aimless and just directed by the interests, yet the result it brings can never be overlooked, especially in scientific area, where inventions call for curiosity and creativity besides enduring hard work.（LZ的句型用的很好呀） For example, the first antibiotic drugs, penicillin, was discovered by Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming, who showed great curiosity about the blue-green mould on the petri-dish. Obviously, his great interest of his work lead to this great discovery; suppose if Fleming was forced to do the research he did not like, how could he make such a great contribution to all the human being?
On the other hand, scholars and researchers, as an important part of the society, should also feel obliged to link their work with people's life（个人觉得这个表达好像不太地道）, or to make a progress with the help of knowledge and technology. In developed countries, colleges and institutions cost billions of dollars every year, hence it is reasonable to give the public an answer where these dollars are spent, or whether these dollars are worthwhile. The scholar’s and researchers’ concern of the whole society instead of their own interests, to some extent satisfies the public, and wins continuous support（？这句的语法好像不对呀，好像少主语）. Since it is not sure whether some of the interesting ideas of the researchers are beneficial to society, a costly but useless project stemmed from one's curiosity is doomed to fail and evoke denouncement from the public.（这个观点很好呀，我咋没想到呢）
Moreover, as for some scholars and researchers, with a high reputation in their research realm they serve as pioneers and have a great influence of the young generation.（LZ的观点都很好，看出来是经过仔细思考的）
If they make up their minds and devote themselves to contribute the larger society, positive effects will be lead to and they are good examples of their followers. On the contrary, merely pursuing their own interests which may even be unusual or idiosyncratic, scholars and researchers may lead the young go astray, for no one can tell whether their attempts are true or false. For example, it is said the great physician, spent his late life to prove the existence of God（好像说尽量不要提到宗教问题吧）. In individual respect, we can not blame that what he did was ridiculous because it was his own business; yet it should never be proposed since this interest was followed by others, who were distracted from scientific research and all this did no good to society.
To sum up, interests play an important role in researches, they should never be overlooked. As a coin has two sides, however, interests sometimes lead the wrong way even have some negative effect on the public. Moreover, it is the responsibility that scholars and researchers work should more or less contribute to the larger society. For those who work in colleges with their students, they need to think twice before choosing their subjects since their choices sometimes show a trend of the later research.
LZ的观点很好，学习
觉得有些表达稍微有点中式，这是大家的通病，加油
