The amount of money for postgraduate research is limited. Some people think that financial support from the government should only be provided for postgraduate scientific research rather than postgraduate research on less useful subjects. Do you agree or disagree?
研究生的研究经费是有限的。因此,一些人认为政府的财政资助只应提供给由研究生从事的科学研究,而不是提供给研究生从事的用处较小的研究。你是否同意这个观点?

In recent years,most of the government funding for postgraduate research has been provided to students who study natural sciences or engineering,while postgraduate research in other fields,such as the arts and humanities,has been seriously underfunded. I believe that postgraduate funding should be distributed more fairly across different fields .
I agree that the funding needs of scientific research conducted by postgraduate students should be met. Without plenty of hands-on research experience ,science and engineering students would never become truly familiar with scientific experiments and methods,which means there would not be enough qualified scientists or engineers in the future. The results of postgraduate scientific research can also be published in scientific journals and directly contribute to new discoveries and inventions . Another factor that should be considered is that scientific research is often conducted in laboratories. As a result,scientific research generally costs more than research in other fields which can often be performed without expensive equipment.
At the same time,I would argue that the funding needs of postgraduate research in other fields should not be neglected by government granting agencies . Doing postgraduate research helps humanities and arts students to find the answers to difficult research questions in their areas of interest . Their research findings increase our knowledge about society,history and culture. Postgraduate research in these fields also trains the next generation of experts on the arts and humanities, such as historians,museum curators,philosophers and professors in these fields. In the future,they will continue to help their nation appreciate and explore the arts and humanities.
For the reasons mentioned above,I believe that financial support from the government should ensure equal research opportunities for postgraduate students who study natural sciences or engineering and postgraduate students who study the arts or humanities.

近几年,多数由政府支付给研究生项目的资金被用于自然科学和工程学上,而其他学科诸如艺术和人文学科则存在着资金严重缺乏的情况。我个人认为,这些研究资金应该被更公平地分配到不同领域中。
我认同由研究生从事的科学研究对研究经费的需求应该被满足。如果没有亲自操作的研究经验,理工科的学生就无法真正熟悉科学实验及方法,这意味着合格的科学家与工程师数量在未来将会出现匮乏。 另外 ,研究生的科学研究项目成果可以发布在科学刊物上,并直接为新的发现与发明作出贡献。 另 一个需要考虑的重要因素就是科学研究经常需要在实验室进行。因此,科学研究要比其他学科的研究花费更多的资金,因为其他学科的研究通常并不需要使用昂贵的仪器。
与此同时,我并不认为研究生在其他领域的研究对于经费的需求应被政府资助机构忽视。进行研究能帮助文科学生找到他们的研究兴趣所在的领域里难以解答的问题的答案。他们的研究成果能够增加我们关于社会、历史与文化的知识。这些领域里的研究生研究 也 有助于培养下一代的文科专家,例如历史学家、博物馆管理者、哲学家和这些领域里的教授。在将来,他们将继续帮助他们的国家去欣赏并且探索艺术和人文领域。
总之,我认为政府拨款应保证理工科研究生和文科研究生享有平等的研究机会。
