No field of study can advance significantly unless outsiders bring their knowledge and experience to that field of study.
提纲:
论点:基本同意,有些方面还要考虑。
同意:1、学科相关。
2、交叉学科。
考虑:1、不是唯一的方法。有些没有如此;即使如此了,若是本身不努力,可能同样没有进步。
2、还有许多因素可以使得进步。
结论:引进别的知识很重要,但是主观努力必不可少。别的因素同样要考虑。
The speaker asserts that in order for a field of study to advance profoundly, outsiders should bring their knowledge and experience to that field of study. I fundamentally share the same opinion with the speaker, while other respects should also be taken into account.
On one hand, no area of intellectual inquiry operates in a vacuum, that is, sciences in various realms are inextricably related. Consider in the fields of cultural anthropology, how an anthropologist’s knowledge is enhanced by expertise of archeologists, biochemists, even astronomers. Archeologists unearth the evidence; a biochemist, by analyzing the hair, nails, blood and bones of mummified bodies, can determine the life expectancy, general well-being, and common causes of death of the population. And the astronomer can help explain the layout of an ancient city since ancients often looked to stars for guidance in building cities. Without the expertise of these other realms, the inquiry of anthropology may encounter difficulties and even be impeded.
On the other hand, the phenomenon that borrowing knowledge and experience from other fields of study has indeed trigged significant breakthrough in many subjects leads to the fact that more and more crossing subjects emerge like bamboo after a spring rain, which are undoubtedly the hybrids of subjects originally thought far distant from each other, such as biochemistry. When studying a cell, the basic unit of life, what we should know is not only the shape, the size, but also its chemic composition and even details features of each element.
However, such a phenomenon by no means indicates that only through sharing academic light of outsiders, can an area of study make its frog-leap. First, some areas develop greatly almost without introducing extraneous knowledge. Certain theories, leading to revolutionary advancement of the involved scientific realms, Newton’s Law of Gravitation, for instance, are utterly genius’s flash of wisdom, little of which is borrowed from other subjects. Furthermore, it must be clarified that the function of introduced information is merely an assistant factor, even if it is so crucial that could determine the direction and prospect of the subject. Therefore what’s more important is the diligence and unwearied efforts of the researcher. If they just wait for windfalls, that is, too lazy to do anything and lay hopes on academic light of outsiders, the final result would be little progress even retreat.
In addition, apart from sharing the outsiders’ intelligence, many other factors may contribute to a field’s significant growth. As mentioned above, diligence and efforts of scientists are essential since objective endeavor can bring endless impetus and ultimately determine the prosperity of the realm. What’s more, the long-term academic accumulation, and the good-timing birth of geniuses are also considerable. Appropriate social and economic support are needed especially when the cost is too much to afford by any individual.
All in all, introducing outsider’s knowledge and experience is of great importance for the significant advancement of a field of study, while the efforts of the researchers are indispensable and many other factors cannot be ignored. |
