The concept of individual responsibility is a necessary fiction. Although societies must hold individuals accountable for their own actions, people s behavior is largely determined by forces not of their own making. 个人责任的概念是一种有必要的虚构。尽管必须让个人对其行为负责,但是人们的行为很大程度上是由外力而不是自己决定的。 一、题目分析 跟162相似,都是论述个人责任的,也都是采取了反对的观点。但是这个题目重点放在了对于行为的责任上面。题目分为两句,后句对于前句基本上是起到支持的作用。 第一句:关键词:responsibility,necessary,fiction。Responsibility的问题在162中已经交代,这里不说了。而necessary fiction是什么意思呢?还是先看看M-W Necessary:adj. 1 a : of an inevitable nature : INESCAPABLE b : logically unavoidable : that cannot be denied without contradiction c : determined or produced by the previous condition of things d : COMPULSORY 2 : absolutely needed : REQUIRED 可以看出,主要是两个意思,一个是不可避免的必然的,一个是绝对需要的。这两个意思都可以,关键在于你的论点和你的定义。 Fiction:n. 1 a : something invented by the imagination or feigned; specifically : an invented story b : fictitious literature c : a work of fiction; especially : NOVEL |
