專八題目：
Can We Trust Specialists?
專八范文：
Why should we call some people specialists? Because they have accumulated a system of expertise in their domain after years of research and practices and been acknowledged by their peers and the public. Those real specialists are able to provide the pubic with accurate information and solve many problems. Of course, as to err is human, real specialists can not avoid making mistakes in their lives. But so long as they maintain an honest and scientific attitude toward their opinions, the public can still forgive them even if they make wrong judgments.
我們?yōu)槭裁窗阉麄兎Q之為專家？因為他們在某一領域擁有豐厚的知識儲備，他們經過了多年的研究和實踐，并得到了同行和公眾的認可。這些真正的專家能夠給公眾提供正確的信息，并解決許多問題。當然，是人都會犯錯，真正的專家也會犯錯誤。但是只要他們對自己的意見保持科學、誠懇的態(tài)度，那么，公眾也會原諒他們，即使他們做出了錯誤的判斷。
However, in recent years, the public have an increasing suspicion of specialists’ opinions. Some specialists frequently appear in TV advertisements to endorse on certain products. These experts seem to lose the public’s trust, for they are suspected to unfavorably direct the public and provide wrong information. Inmy opinion, specialists’ opinions can only be trusted so long as they are honest.
但是最近幾年，公眾對專家的意見產生了越來越多的懷疑。許多專家頻繁出現在電視廣告之中，為某產品做代言。這些專家似乎失去了公眾的信任，人們懷疑他們誤導了公眾的方向，并提供了不真實的信息。我認為，只有專家誠實可信，人們才能信任他們。
Firstly, only honest specialists can provide objective and accurate judgments for the public. Nowadays, specialists are frequently consulted with by big companies and hence they are likely to provide opinions in favor of those companies. This can be best illustrated in medicine advertisements in the media. Pharmaceutical companies tend to invite specialists with white hairs and various titles to provide their comments ontheir products. Without exception, those specialists highlight the advantages of new medicines, and then would recommend them to the public. But one can not help thinking why these experts are willing to appear in the media and endorse on the new medicine. All the rational people can figure out that those specialistshave been bribed by pharmaceutical companies and hence their comments and recommendations are in the interest of those companies. While the honesty has been corrupted by money, should we still trust them?
首先，只有誠實的專家才能提供可觀的意見，以及準確的判斷。當今，專家通常會成為大公司的顧問，他們通常會提供一些對公司有利的意見。這些能夠從醫(yī)藥廣告中體現出來。醫(yī)藥公司通常會聘請一些有白頭發(fā)，有許多頭銜的專家，并為他們的產品提供意見。無一例外，這些專家都會高調宣揚產品的好處，并向公眾推薦。但是人們不禁會想為什么這些專家愿意出現在媒體上，并為新藥做廣告呢。所有理性的人們都會認為醫(yī)藥公司給了專家好處，只有這樣，專家的意見和建議才會有利于這些公司。這樣的誠實是建立在金錢之上的，我們還應該相信他們嗎?
Secondly, the media has produced a lot of fake specialists. Wrapped by an aura of trustable titles, these fake experts would speak in an authoritarian tone to the public and provide claimed accurate information. The truth is that realist specialists are banned by intellectual integrity and regulations of their institutions to endorse on certain products in any advertisements. I am of opinion that real experts are reluctant to appear in the media, for real specialists should absorb themselves in their research and do not wantto be disturbed by the media. Consequently, we can reason that the more impressive the introductions of specialist are, the more likely they are fake specialists.
第二，媒體產生了許多假冒專家。這些專家有許多可信的頭銜，這些專家會以一種官方的口氣說話，并提供自認為正確的信息。事實是，真正的專家卻受到了正義、原則的限制，他們無法為產品做代言。我認為，真正的專家不會出現在媒體上，真正的專家會全身心投入在研究上，并不想受到媒體的打擾。所以，專家的介紹越誘人，他們造假的幾率就會越高。
On all accounts, so long as specialists are not employed by companies to provide information to the public,and they are not fake, their opinions are trustable, for real specialists are honest and provide objective opinions. Otherwise, we should be cautious about their claimed authoritarian opinions.
總之，只要公司沒有雇傭專家，并在公眾上提供信息，那么，他們就是真專家，他們的意見就是可信的，真正的專家是誠懇的，能夠提供客觀的意見。否則，我們就應該小心他們在公眾所提供的意見。
