Man and Nature人与自然The intimacy between man and Nature began with the birth of man on the earth, and becomes each century more intelligent and far-reaching. To Nature, therefore, we turn as to the oldest and most influential teacher of our race; from one point of view once our task-master, now our servant; from another point of view, our constant friend, instructor and inspirer. The very intimacy of this relation robs it of a certain mystery and richness which it would have for all minds if were the reward of the few instead of being the privilege of the many. To the few it is, in every age, full of wonder and beauty; to the many it is a matter of course. The havens shine for all, but they have a changing splendor to those only who see in every midnight sky a majesty of creative energy and resource which no repetition of the spectacle can dim. If the stars shone but once in a thousand years, men would gaze, awe-struck and worshipful, on a vision which is not less but more wonderful because it shines nightly above the whole earth. In like manner, and for the same reason, we become indifferent to that delicately beautiful or sublimely impressive sky scenery which the clouds form and reform, compose and dissipate, a thousand times on a summer day. The mystery, the terror, and the music of the sea; the secret and subduingcharm of the wood, so full of healing for the spent mind or the restless spirit; the majesty of the hills, holding in their recesses the secrets of light and atmosphere; the infinite variety of landscape, never imitative or repetitious, but always appealing to the imagination with some fresh and unsuspected loveliness; who feels the full power of these marvelous resources for the enrichment of life, or takes from them all the health, delight, and enrichment they have to bestow?从地球上出现人类开始,人与自然之间的亲密关系就随之诞生,而且被不断地发扬光大,这种关系每一世纪都比以前变得更为明智而深远,所以,我们求助于自己,并把自然视为人类最年长和最有影响力的老师。
Man and nature开始的陈述:Many people say that nature's force is irresistible [,iri'zistəbl] 不可抵抗的, but I think that man can conquer nature. First, I want to explain the meaning of “conquer”. I don't mean to defeat and control nature, but tame [teim] 使变得平淡it. Living harmoniously with nature is the goal and we can get it. As we all know, human's intelligence has only been exploited partly, but with so little intelligence, man has changed the world so much. Man is clever enough to make use of nature and has ability to adjust to nature.As you know, man has learned to use many things in nature and this comforts man's life.服务人类的例子:For example, the use of fire makes people warm and supplies cooked food. Can you imagine the life without fire? You will live in darkness forever and suffer from cold in winter. You can only eat cold and uncooked food. Human governs water to avoid overflow and use it to make electricity. Using wind and solar energy to make electricity is another meaningful thing. Turning wind and solar energy into electricity can save energy and is good for environment. With electricity, we can live in light though the night comes. A series of electrical appliance, such as TV sets, computers, microwave ovens, iceboxes, washing machines etc., can be used because of electricity. Our life is colorful and convenient with them.Man can imitate 模仿things in nature and make new things to help us improve our living conditions. 利用自然的例子:Take radar and saw for instance, radar is made on the basis that bat can identify object by searching ultrasonic wave. Radar is used widely in military affairs. It can ascertain object’s shape, material and so on. On the basis of one kind of grass, Lu ban, the famous artisan of our country, invent saw. With saw we can cut off many hard things, make tools and so forth.驳论:Human beings can find, master and follow the regularity of nature. Nature will bestow us good life. Although Napoleon and Hitler were defeated by the cold Russianwinter, this can't mean that human beings can't conquer nature. This is only an individual example. And they could take some measures to avoid the Russian winter and perhaps the results have been changed. At last, perhaps they could defeat the Russia and the Soviet Union.最后的总结:I admit that man has destroyed some parts of nature and nature has paid off us. But man has regretted and done many things to improve its environment. For example, we’ve done many things to tame [teim] 使变得平淡the nature, such as successes in medicine in the fight against disease. We also plant many trees every year to prevent the desert from enlarging. Anyway, we should believe that we can tame the nature and it will forgive us and will be as beautiful as it was, even more beautiful. Man fears nature at first, then wants to defeat nature and finally understands human beings should get well along with nature.In short, our goal is to live harmoniously with nature and we can get it.The car industry in China:Firstly deny this point no China shouldn`t stop industrialization to protect environment.Second withdraw your point: China can go on industrialization and protect environment at the same time.Third state your point:1.industrialization and environment are not opposities of one thing;2.we can do both better if we take care of the ballance;3.give some examples of developing industry along with protecting environment.如果是经济的话,应该着重在发展,也就是开源,因为经济到达一定程度,科技也就会发展到一定程度,新技术成果会对中国环境改善产生很大的效用,这是开源,以英国为例,先破坏再保护,到一定程度后科技就会发挥威力,比如先进的汽车发动机对环境的破化已经大幅减小,新一代燃料电池技术几乎不破坏环境。
