TOPIC: ISSUE87 - "In any field of inquiry, the beginner is more likely than the expert to make important discoveries."
532 words, 没有计时
Possition: 反对
A. 显而易见,初学者缺乏充足的专业知识与经验。后果:1,对结果或现象缺乏深刻理解,即使成功就在眼前却与之失之交臂,//成功垂青于有准备的大脑(fleming发现青霉素);2,诚然,他们有好奇心、勇气和热情,但没有知识的指引,他们可能走弯路;//盲目热衷于永动机的研究;3,即使有许多想法,没有专业知识,也难以进行下去;
B. 在学科日益完善的今天,每一个微小的进步都需要付出极大的努力与繁重的工作,需要积累,只有专家才能胜任。//爱迪生发明电灯,几百次的尝试与失败;//居里夫妇发现镭;
C. 专家的丰富经验,优越的客观条件(实验室、资金)使他们更具优势。
D. 专家就一定是保守、缺乏好奇心与想象力吗?未必!
In the past decades several cases have been reported about the great achievements in some fields, which were surprisingly attained by the beginners of those fields. Therefore, many people tend to believe that it is the beginners other than the experts that are more likely to succeed. However, things may not always happen in that way. Actually, it may be the facts that these cases themselves are not usually possible that really brought them to the public. And there are more cases, which are not obvious or under the surfacre, that experts played a more important role.
Admittedly, the beginners lack the professinal knowledge and experience, which may be the keys to the new discoveries. With these weakness, the newcomers couldn’t treat obsevations with acute eyes, and their judgements may be superficial, which would make it difficult for them to explore efficently and deeply. // And their curiosity of the unknown, courage to try new things and the enthusiam, which have been believed as their advantages, may even lead them in the wrong way, which might be prevented from happenning if they have sufficient knowledge in that field. And even if they have some noval ideas, without the fundamental skills and experience, they may find it hard to continue and have to retreat in the end.
Unlike the beginners, the experts, who have in-depth views and rich experience, would have more predominances when pushing through in his field. As we know, in modern periods most of the subjects are well established, especially Physics, Chemistry and other recondite terrains, and then even a little progress needs laborious work and in-sight minds. We cannot expect these steps attained accidently by the novices all the time. For instance, it took Edison, who invented the electric bulbs, hundreds of trials and fails until he got the right ones he wanted, which indicates that things cannot always be done simply by newcomers.
Except for the kmowledeg and experience they already have, the experts usually have more superiority, such as well-established labs and sufficient financial supports, which add to them the possibility to succeed. Nowadays, when the terrain of science and technology becomes more and more profound and complex, we cannot expect a farmer or a worker, just like Newton who was reported to find the Newton’s law inspired by the fallen apple from the tree, to make too much contribution in these fields, especially those need expensive apparatus and sophisticated learnings, which cannnot be substitued by their ambition or curiosity. With these predominent advantages, the role of experts can be inevitably more inportant.
Finally, are experts always conserved and fixed in stubbron ways, and do beginners always have more curiosity and courage? Virtually that may not be always the truth. We can surely find lots of examples where there are experts who also have air of freedon in his mind and never contend with what he already gained.
In general, though the typical promising nature of the newcomers, such as free minds and vigor, can help them a lot, I still insist that it is the konwledge, expericence and other advantages, which are on the hand of experts, that really contribute to exploring in the dominant way.
