范文分析——专才通才.docVIP

第四篇文章Sample Issue Topic In our time, specialists of all kinds are highly over-rated. We need more generalists — people who can provide broad perspectives. Benchmark 6 In this era of rapid social and technological change leading to increasing life complexity and psychological displacement, both positive and negative effects among persons in Western society call for a balance in which there are both specialists and generalists. 首段给出了作者的态度，平衡观点。前面的状语貌似是废话，但是通过分词结构很好的暗示了后文的论证方向，即生活、精神。Specialists are necessary in order to allow society as a whole to properly and usefully assimilate the masses of new information and knowledge that have come out of research and have been widely disseminated through mass global media. 正文手段说专才好。As the head of Pharmacology at my university once said (and I paraphrase): I can only research what I do because there are so many who have come before me to whom I can turn for basic knowledge. It is only because of each of the narrowly focused individuals at each step that a full and true understanding of the complexities of life can be had. Each person can only hold enough knowledge to add one small rung to the ladder, but together we can climb to the moon. 举的例子应该是作者编的，实际上作者原本这里应该是一大段说理的论证，为了使论证不冗长，而采用了这种手法使得论证从引用人的口中说出来。This illustrates the point that our societies level of knowledge and technology is at a stage in which there simply must be specialists in order for our society to take advantage of the information available to us. 本句解释了引用的论据如何证明观点，也算是本段的一个总结句。 Simply put, without specialists, our society would find itself bogged down in the Sargasso sea of information overload. 和上一段的论证其实是本质一样的，都是说专才好。这里从反面进行论证，如果没有专才会怎么样。While it was fine for early physicists to learn and understand the few laws and ideas that existed during their times, now, no one individual can possibly digest and assimilate all of the knowledge in any given area. 这里的事例证明还不忘在前面进行小的让步，使得作者的证明很严谨。我们应该学习这一点，在我们的文章里在证明一个观点的同一段里，不妨也在某些地方进行小的让步，显出我们很有思辨性。同志们，让步这种思想不能只出现在段落之间
