There is no such thing as purely objective observation. All observation is subjective; it is always guided by the observer's expectations or desires.
------正文------
Do purely objective observation just something only occur in the theory and not exist in the real world?  Maybe it is quite tempting for a person to agree with the speaker's assertion on the basis of our common life experience. However, in my opinion, the speaker has confused the concept of 'interpretation' and 'observation' thus gets a specious conclusion.

First, it seems quite common that in our daily life many people view a same object or event from remarkably different ways and perspectives, therefore they may finally make quite distinct and even opposite conclusions of such object or event. For example, when different people are appreciating an same art composition--a picture, a novel, a symphony and so forth--some may think the composition indicate the author's concerning about the contemporary social problems, and the others would conclude that the author is merely telling his or her private emotion and story. So it is rather tempting for us to agree with the statement that purely objective observation never exist.

However, when we make such an assertion like the speaker, we inevitably confuse the conception of the 'interpretation' and the 'observation'. The interpretation of an object is the way in which people think about it and how people comprehend its value and flaw. And the observation of an object is just the physical reflection of it to our people's eyes, which demand both exhaustibility and circumspection to be an accurate and precise observation. Also taking an artic composition for example, when we looking at a composition, our comprehending about what sense and meaning the author want to reveal and indicate is depending on various factors, for instance, our perspective about the current society, our emotion at the time and even our personal taste of such kinds of art. Hence it is not surprising that different people would have different understanding of a same artic composition. The great tragedy Hamlet is the most appropriate case of the notion. Yet, this is just the procedure of interpreting a composition rather than the observation of it. The true observation is what have been written in the book, the story of Hamlet, the depiction of the characters in the book and so forth. And all these things are undoubtedly the same in everyone's eyes. Therefore, the observation itself is certainly objective instead of subjective.

And we can have another typical example of the notion that observation is objective from the famous experiment conducted by Galileo in Pisa, which proved the gravitation theory. At the time when people saw the two iron balls falling onto the ground simultaneously, they thought Galileo was cheating and playing some tricks. Yet this was just the interpretation of those people. Their observation was the fact that the two iron balls falling onto the ground simultaneously and none of them had denied such fact even if they really did not want to acknowledge it.

In sum, when someone including the speaker makes such an assertion that there is no such thing as purely objective observation, all of them have unfairly confused the concept of 'interpretation' and 'observation'. The truth is that interpretation is quite subjective in that it is influenced by many other factors such as the people's perspective and so on, while the observation itself is definitely objective.

Therefore, the observation itself is certainly objective instead of subjective.

And we can have another typical example of the notion that observation is objective from the famous experiment conducted by Galileo in Pisa, which proved the gravitation theory. At the time when people saw the two iron balls falling onto the ground simultaneously, they thought Galileo was cheating and playing some tricks. （这个说法太牵强了吧，我觉得还是要把他们的desires和expectation写出来，并把这种guide的过程写清除）Yet this was just the interpretation of those people. Their observation was the fact that the two iron balls falling onto the ground simultaneously and none of them had denied such fact even if they really did not want to acknowledge it.

写的挺好的，这么深刻的东西我是想不出来的，想出来也不知道该怎么展开～～
你的语言挺好的，结构也不错，但我还是想不通，为什么可以说speaker把observation和interpertation弄混了呢？还是不明白......

之所以说speaker has confused two conception就是因为我要从这个方面入手进行论述呀。speaker并没有对observation进行解释，所以我可以说它混淆了。
这个出发点其实是受了高人点拨的，自己想也许想不出来的阿:)
