Description

After having been introduced to Wang Peng's family, Martin starts to chat with them. He can speak Chinese so fluently that you won't believe he has been in China for such a short time. When in China, do as Chinese do. Martin is customarily asking the elders' health first. Listen: 阿姨,您身体好吗?

在和王朋的家人认识后,马丁和王朋的家人拉起了家常。别看他来中国的时间不长,但可会说话啦。他知道和年长的人谈话首先应当询问他们的健康状况。听,他正在问:阿姨,您身体好吗?

Mobile,Your "picture" idea is wonderful. For some resoan that I have a lot of trouble grasping, far too many people seem to think that actually viewing events, or at least accurate pictures of events, leads to lack of objectivity.In truth, the more data - conceptual or sensory (audio, visual, etc.) one can acquire, the more reliable - and objective - our assessment of something can be.They say "A picture is worth a thousand words." They're often right; a great deal of information can be conveyed by a picture, and the information is often so complete that it stirs the emotions. Emotion can certainly overwhelm resoan under some circumstances, but it usually doesn't, and when it does, the effect is nearly always temporary. Emotion not only produces the neurotransmitter "glue" that helps us hold data in the memory, it is also a means of instantly guaging the importance that something (like the event in a picture) has for us.Having seen the picture, having felt the emotion, then we must determine conceptually whether we are justified in ascribing that level of importance to the event.But to deny ourselves the sensory data is to deny ourselves an opportunity for the very objectivity that many (including judges) say they want to promote.Emotion, per se, is not non-objective. If we see the remains of concentration camp victims and experience horror, that is objective; if we see Saddam's sons torturing someone and experience loathing, that is objective; if we see our child drowning in a pool and experience fear, that is objective. We would do well to have access to all the pictures we can get our hands on, from the "jumpers" of the Twin Towers (that the press concealed from us), to the burned remains of contractors hanging from a bridge in Iraq (that the press concealed from us), to the stoned remains of women in Iran (that the press conceals from us). I would love to see an entire GALLERY of pictures!
