recognize简单

Two centuries ago, the idea of preserving nature, rather than exploiting it, was a novel one to many U.S. settlers. One of the turning points in public support for land conservation efforts — and recognizing the magnificence of the Yellowstone region in particular — came in the form of vivid photographs.

两个世纪前，保护自然而非开发自然的理念，对许多美国定居者来说是一个新奇的想法。公众开始支持土地保护工作——尤其是认识到黄石地区的壮美——的转折点之一，是以生动照片的形式出现的。

Though Native Americans (and later miners and fur trappers) had long recognized the area’s riches, most Americans did not. That’s why Hayden’s expedition aimed to produce a fuller understanding of the Yellowstone River region, from its hot springs and waterfalls to its variety of flora and fauna. In addition to the entourage of scientists, the team also included artists: Painter Thomas Moran and photographer William Henry Jackson were charged with capturing this astounding natural beauty and sharing it with the world.

尽管美洲原住民（以及后来的矿工和毛皮猎人）早就认识到该地区的富饶，但大多数美国人并不了解。这就是为什么海登的考察旨在更全面地了解黄石河地区，从温泉、瀑布到各种动植物。除了随行的科学家，考察队还有艺术家：画家托马斯·莫兰和摄影师威廉·亨利·杰克逊负责捕捉这令人惊叹的自然之美，并将其与世界分享。

are recognized for their abilities.

Of course, many discussions are not so successful. Still, we need to be careful not to accuse opponents of bad arguments too quickly. We need to learn how to evaluate them properly. A large part of evaluation is calling out bad arguments, but we also need to admit good arguments by opponents and to apply the same critical standards to ourselves. Humility requires you to recognize weaknesses in your own arguments and sometimes also to accept reasons on the opposite side.

当然，许多讨论并没有这么成功。尽管如此，我们仍需注意不要过快地指责对手的论证糟糕。我们需要学会如何恰当地评价论证。评价的很大一部分是指出糟糕的论证，但我们也需要承认对手的好论证，并用同样的批判标准要求自己。谦逊要求你认识到自己论证中的弱点，有时还要接受对立一方的理由。

There is a better way to win arguments. Imagine that you favor increasing the minimum wage in our state, and I do not. If you yell, “Yes,” and I yell, “No,” neither of us learns anything. We neither understand nor respect each other, and we have no basis for compromise or cooperation. In contrast, suppose you give a reasonable argument: that full-time workers should not have to live in poverty. Then I counter with another reasonable argument: that a higher minimum wage will force businesses to employ fewer people for less time. Now we can understand each other’s positions and recognize our shared values, since we both care about needy workers.

有一种更好的方式来赢得争论。设想你赞成提高我们州的最低工资，而我不赞成。如果你大喊“赞成”，我大喊“反对”，我们谁都学不到任何东西。我们既不理解也不尊重对方，也没有妥协或合作的基础。相反，假设你给出一个合理的论证：全职工人不应该生活在贫困之中。然后我用另一个合理的论证来反驳：更高的最低工资会迫使企业雇用更少的人、缩短雇用时间。这样我们就能理解彼此的立场，并认识到我们共同的价值观，因为我们都关心贫困的工人。

I came to recognise various signs of a bad paper: the kind of paper that purports to show that people who eat more than one kilo of broccoli a week were 1.17 times more likely than those who eat less to suffer late in life from pernicious anaemia.

我逐渐认识到糟糕论文的各种迹象：比如那种声称每周吃一公斤以上西兰花的人晚年患恶性贫血的可能性是吃得少的人的1.17倍的论文。

Failing to recognize that, he notes, leads to “an overly simplified view of what the solutions might be.

他指出，认识不到这一点，就会导致“对可能的解决方案持过于简单化的看法。

Knowing the results of Epley’s study, it makes sense that many people hate photographs of themselves viscerally — on one level, they don’t even recognise the person in the picture as themselves.

了解了埃普利的研究结果，就不难理解为什么许多人本能地讨厌自己的照片——在某种程度上，他们甚至认不出照片里的人是自己。

To start, we can recognize the new birds of passage, those living and thriving in the gray areas.

首先，我们可以承认新一代的“候鸟”，即那些在灰色地带生活并兴旺发展的人。
