Which Counts More, Arts or Science?
The question of whether liberal arts or science is of greater importance has always been under discussion. When you ask different people about it, they will invariably give different answers. 1
Some people believe that liberal arts is more important because arts is about human and mind, and history created by the men with great mind. For instance, the laws and regulations formulated by them guarante the smooth running of the society. Besides, the diverse cultures and habitudes derived from arts in different regions eventually give rise to various nations. All of these lay the foundation for the development of our society. 2 However, others argue that science counts more than arts because science and technology drive the society to move forward. For example, our ancestors learned to cultivate crops and use the fire through science in the beginning and then managed to invent sundry tools to promote living conditions. 3
In my opinion, I have a preference for science, with which human beings create the material life and moral life as well. 4 But if we only rely on science, sometimes we may still be unable to solve some problems. Therefore, we should be trained in science from a humanistic approach. 5
文科和理科哪個(gè)更重要？
文科與理科孰輕孰重的問(wèn)題一直爭(zhēng)論不斷。當(dāng)被問(wèn)及此問(wèn)題時(shí)，不同的人總有不同的答案。
一些人認(rèn)為文科更加重要，因?yàn)樗P(guān)乎人類及其思想的問(wèn)題，而且關(guān)乎具有偉大思想的人創(chuàng)造的歷史。例如，它們制定的法律法規(guī)保障了社會(huì)的平穩(wěn)運(yùn)行。此外，從文科中衍生出的不同地區(qū)的多樣文化與習(xí)俗最終形成了多樣的民族。這些都為我們社會(huì)的發(fā)展奠定了基礎(chǔ)。然而，另一些人則認(rèn)為，理科更為重要，因?yàn)榭萍纪苿?dòng)了社會(huì)的進(jìn)步。例如，我們的祖先起初通過(guò)科學(xué)學(xué)會(huì)了耕種和使用火種，然后又成功地發(fā)明了各式各樣的工具，改善了生活條件。
在我看來(lái)，我更看中理科，正是因?yàn)橛辛丝茖W(xué)，人類才能創(chuàng)造物質(zhì)生活以及精神生活。但如果我們僅僅依賴科學(xué)，有時(shí)一些問(wèn)題也無(wú)法解決。所以，我們應(yīng)該接受帶有人文主義關(guān)懷的科學(xué)訓(xùn)練。
范文點(diǎn)評(píng)

3. 引出提綱中所給定的第二個(gè)觀點(diǎn)，加以闡述并舉例說(shuō)明。
4. 提出自己的觀點(diǎn)：更看重理科。
5. 進(jìn)一步指出，不排斥人文文科，應(yīng)兩者兼顧，升華全文主旨。

句法點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. The question of whether liberal arts or science is of greater importance has always been under discussion.
本句主干為T(mén)he question has always been under discussion，而whether liberal arts or science is of greater importance是whether...or...引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句，充當(dāng)介詞of的賓語(yǔ)，be under discussion意為“在討論之中”。
2. In my opinion, I have a preference for science, with which human beings create the material life and moral life as well.
句中包含了with which引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句，屬于“介詞+關(guān)系代詞”引出的定語(yǔ)從句，介詞可以還原到從句中，如本句中的定語(yǔ)從句with which human beings create the material life and moral life as well可還原為which human beings create the material life and moral life as well with。
