Such nonmainstream areas of inquiry as astrology， fortune-telling， and psychic and paranormal pursuits play a vital role in society by satisfying human needs that are not addressed by mainstream science. 这个题目是讲主流和非主流的关系，提的方面是科学领域内。但是这个题目里面我自认为的一个问题是，speaker把astrology，fortune-telling，psychic，和paranormal pursuits也归结为科学的范畴内了，但这些都是我们通常成为的伪科学的几个典型方面。 这个题目，目前我没有想到什么好的方面来支持这个speaker的正确性。希望有持支持观点的朋友来说说你自己的看法伪科学的相关释义附在点评最后处 This statement actually consists of two claims: that non-mainstream areas of inquiry are vital in satisfying human needs， and that these areas are therefore vital to society. I concede that astrology， fortune- telling， and psychic and paranormal pursuits respond to certain basic human needs. 干净利索的分析了题目，但是个人认为还不是分析的很透彻。 However， in my view the potential harm they can inflict on their participants and on society far outweighs their psychological benefits. 自己观点出来了，反对。是一个让步的关系，先承认了是有此方面的作用，用了however来了个转折给从更大的方面给否了。 |
