"Opinion" is a word that is used carelessly today. It is used to refer to matters of taste, belief, and judgment. This casual use would probably cause little confusion if people didn’t attach too much importance to opinion. Unfortunately, most attach great importance to it. "I have as much right to my opinion as you to yours," and "Everyone’s entitled to his opinion," are common expressions. In fact, anyone who would challenge another’s opinion is likely to be branded intolerant.
Is that label accurate? Is it intolerant to challenge another’s opinion? It depends on what definition of opinion you have in mind. For example, you may ask a friend "what do you think of the new Ford cars?" And he may reply, "In my opinion, they’re ugly." In this case, it would not only be intolerant to challenge his statement, but foolish. For it’s obvious that by opinion he means his personal preference, a matter of taste. And as the old saying goes, "It’s pointless to argue about matters of taste."
But consider this very different use of the term. A newspaper reports that the Supreme Court has delivered its opinion in a controversial case. Obviously the justices did not show their personal preferences, their mere likes and dislikes. They stated their considered judgment, painstakingly arrived at after thorough inquiry and deliberation.
Most of what is referred to as opinion falls somewhere between these two extremes. It is not an expression of taste. Nor is it careful judgment. Yet it may contain elements of both. It is a view or belief more or less casually arrived at, with or without examining the evidence.
Is everyone entitled to his opinion? Of course, this is not only permitted, but guaranteed. We are free to act on our opinions only so long as, in doing so, we do not harm others. [br] The new Ford cars are cited as an example to show that _____.
选项
A、it is foolish to criticize a famous brand
B、one should not always agree to others’ opinions
C、personal tastes are not something to be challenged
D、it is unwise to express one’s likes and dislikes in public
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。本题考查例子与观点的关系。在Ford的例子后,作者用In this case引出他的观点,还在第2段最后一句引用了一句老话来支持自己的观点,也就是如选项C所说的。其他选项皆无依据。
