唐老雅10月13日雅思大作文高分範文(附音頻）-人類應該嘗試與外星人溝通嗎？

題目

Some people believe there are intelligent life forms existing on other planets and it is better to send messages to them, but others think it is a bad idea because it is very dangerous to do this. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

解析

我們對外星人的想像古已有之，但集中爆發於上世紀60年代，到《星球大戰》系列達到高潮。在我們的想像中，外星人要麼乘飛船橫跨天宇，要麼在自己的星球建立能量收割器，要麼是外星人通過某種奇怪的符號向我們發送信息；在我們的想像中，外星人有時候頭顱碩大無比，有時候沒有嘴巴，但其心理和動機多少與現代人一樣：要麼當一個壞人要摧毀世界，要麼當一個英雄要保護世界。無論如何，老雅認為，外星人一定存在，但其存在的方式可能遠非人類所能想像，也許與地球上的生命形態完全不同。

那麼，人類應該嘗試與外星人溝通嗎？有人說應該，有人說不應該。本題要求我們討論雙方觀點，然後給出自己的觀點。ok，如果說應該與外星人溝通，我們能講出什麼理由來？如果說不應該與外星人溝通，我們又能講出哪些理由？最後，我們依據一個什麼標準來判斷到底該不該與外星人溝通？

經常讀老雅公眾號的讀者，對老雅的寫作思維模式應該已經不再陌生，對於任何一個事物或觀點，我們都可以從三個層面上去思考：物質層面（包括時間、金錢、身體、外表等）、精神層面（包括情感、心理、精神）、社會層面（包括社會、道德、法律、政治、哲學等）。那麼，對於和外星人溝通的好處與壞處，我們可以列舉如下：

好處：（1）外星人科技發達，可以學習他們的科技，讓地球人生活得更快樂（物質層面）；（2）和外星人聯繫後，我們在這個宇宙就不再孤獨（心理層面）；（3）地球必將毀滅，聯繫外星人將為地球人找到新的棲息地（社會層面）。

壞處：（1）聯繫外星人，需要投入巨大的人力物力（物質層面）；（2）聯繫外星人，可能是一件非常危險的事情（社會層面）。

我的觀點：我認為應該努力與外星人溝通。首先，外星人若不及我們地球文明，那他們不會對我們構成威脅，如果外星人比我們的文明更先進，那麼他們來破壞地球的可能性就更低，因此所謂威脅論或危險論其實不存在；而與外星人溝通會讓我們找到其他星球的朋友，我們可以向他們學習，在地球終點到來之前，外星人甚至可能挽救我們。

唐老雅高分範文

Our imagination about beings on other planets has never stopped and reached its climax in such movie series like 「Star Wars」 and 「Star Trek」 in 1960s and 1970s. If other life forms do exist, an idea I strongly support, should we, as human beings on the Earth, try to reach out and communicate with them?

A lot of people do not like the idea of sending messages to aliens 「out there」. According to their theory, trying to establish communication with other life forms is extremely expensive because it entails designing complex equipment and apparatus. This will consume tons of money, which should be spent solving more practical problems like medical care or education. More importantly, as these people would claim, once they receive our messages and know about our existence, the aliens may invade the Earth and eliminate us all, just like what they do in many movies and science fiction.

There are others who are very enthusiastic about reaching out for aliens on other planets. They are interested in how these different life forms survive and believe their more advanced technology may well help us human beings solve our existent problems. Having been living in the universe as the only intelligent being for too long, many people find it very attractive to reach their brothers and sisters from other planets. It is significant for another reason, too. As the Earth will surely die and disappear into the black hole as many scientists have speculated, we need to be known by our siblings on other planets so that when that day eventually does come, our future grand, grand children will not perish.

Personally, I do not think much of the 「danger」 theory. If the aliens are less developed than us, they cannot be a threat to us even if they want to; if they are more developed and civilised, the probability that we are killed by them is still lower. Once the xenophobic danger is removed, I believe most of us will welcome the idea of communicating with the intelligent forms outside the Earth, because they can provide us with the much desired companionship and may save us when the Earth expires.
