Applications

练习

Note: One of the best ways to develop your thinking (and writing) skills is to record your observations, questions, and ideas in a journal and then, as time permits, to reflect on what you have recorded—considering the meaning and application of the observations, answering the questions,elaborating onthe ideas (and, where appropriate, challenging them), and recording your insights. An inexpensive bound notebook or spiral notebook will serve the purpose. A good approach is t orecord your initial observations, questions, and ideas on the left side of the page, leaving the right side blank for your later analysis and commentary. The value of this reflective process is so great that you should consider keeping such ajournaleven if your instructor does not make it a formal part of the course.

说明:发展你的思维(和写作)技巧最好的方式之一就是在日志上记下你的观察、疑问和想法;如果时间允许,再反思你记录下的东西—考虑所观察到的东西的意义和应用,回答之前的疑问,详细论述之前的记下的想法(并且合适的时候质疑这些想法),记录下自己的洞见。一本便宜的装订好的笔记本或者螺旋式装订活页的笔记本就很管用。一个好办法是把你最初的观察、疑问和想法记录在页面的左侧,留下右面的空白供以后分析和评论用。这种反思过程的价值是如此之大,你应当考虑坚持写这样的日志,即使你的导师没有把它当做课程一个正式的部分。(温故而知新,可以为师矣;但是前提是你得记下自己所闻、所见和所思,才有反思的材料,否则单凭大脑的记忆是不会走的太远的。)

A Difference of Opinion

不同的二观点

The following passage summarizes an important difference of opinion. After reading the statement, use the library and/or the Internet and find what knowledgeable  people have said about the issue. Be sure to cover the entire range of views. Then assess the strengths and weaknesses of each. If you conclude  that one view is entirely correct and the others are mistaken, explain how you  reached that conclusion. If, as is more likely, you find that one view is more  insightful than the others but that they all make some valid points, construct  a view of your own that combines insights from all views and explain why that  view is the most reasonable of all. Present your response in a composition or an  oral report, as your instructor specifies.

下面的段落总结了一个重要的不同观点。读完陈述后,利用图书馆或网络,找出那些有见识的人对这一问题的看法,确保覆盖了各种观点。然后评估每个观点的优点和弱点。如果你总结出其中某个观点是完全正确的,而另一个观点是错误的,那么请解释一下你是如何得出这一结论的。如果(也更可能),你发现其中一个观点比其他观点更有洞见,但这些观点都提出了某些有效的论点,那就构建一个综合了里所有各方洞见的你自己的观点,并且解释为什么这一观点是所有观点中最合理的。按照指导老师的要求,以作文或口头报告的形式呈上你的回答。

Should captured terrorists be tried in military or criminal courts? When  the United States decided to use the military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,  to detain individuals captured on the battlefield in the Iraq war, many people  protested the decision. Some argued that captured individuals should be considered criminals rather than prisoners of war and accorded the rights  guaranteed by the U.S.Constitution to all people accused of crimes. Others  argued for classifying the individuals as prisoners of war and treating them  as specified in the Geneva Conventions of 1949. Supporters of the government’s  decision reject both arguments, contending that captured terrorists  are neither criminals nor soldiers but “unlawful combatants,” adding that  any otherdesignationwould impose burdens on the United States that would make it difficult to fight terrorism and there by threaten national  security.

被捕获的恐怖分子应当在军事或刑事法庭上审讯吗?当美国决定用古巴关塔那摩的军事基地拘押在伊拉克战场上捕获的人员时,许多人抗议这个决定。一些人认为,被捕的人员应该被视为刑事犯而非战俘,并获得由美国宪法对所有受指控人的人所保障的权利。另一些人主张把这些人划入战俘人员并依据1949年的日内瓦公约的规定来对待他们。政府决定的支持者们反对这两种意见,辩称被俘的恐怖分子既非罪犯也非军人,而是“非法武装分子”,并且指出,任何其他身份的指认会给美国增加负担,它使得美国难以与恐怖分子作战,会因此威胁国家安全。

Detain[dɪˈteɪn][dɪˈteɪn] vt.留住,阻住;耽搁;拘留,扣留;

accorded[əˈkɔ:did]  v.给予( accord的过去式和过去分词);使和谐一致;使符合;使适合;

Conventions[kən'venʃnz][kən'venʃnz] n.(某一职业、政党等的人士召开的)大会( convention的名词复数);协议;习俗;(美国)全国代表大会;

Contending v.争夺(contend的现在分词);竞争;搏斗;争斗;

Combatantsn.战斗员,格斗者( combatant的名词复数);

Designationn.[ˌdezɪgˈneɪʃn][ˌdɛzɪɡˈneʃən]名称;选派;指定;
