Emulating your conversation partner’s actions is a common human behavior classified as "mirroring" and has been known and studied by psychologists for years. We all tend to subconsciously copy gestures of people we like. But why do we act like this?
As a rule, mirroring means that conversationalists enjoy their communication and that there’s a certain level of agreement between them. The topic of discussion is equally interesting for both and they know their interests meet.
Repeating someone’s behavior is typical of talented communicators, not always because the person is sympathetic, but because there is a goal to be achieved. This way new idols have been brought to the stage: politicians, celebrities, and other big names. Popular culture makes people want to look popular, and act and speak like popular people.
Nowadays celebrities steal lyrics from each other and struggle with copyright violation accusations or straightforwardly claim themselves to be the authors, even though all the work was done by other people.
Among celebrities, it’s trendy nowadays to use their own speech writers as politicians do. The so-called "ghostwriting" can take various forms: books, articles, autobiographies, and even social media posts.
Who is a true copycat (抄袭者) and who gets copycatted? Sometimes, it is a hard nut to crack without an expert’s help. But new authorship defending methods based on identifying individual writing patterns are already here. Their aim is to protect intellectual property. Using scientific methods, some of them can define authorship with 85% accuracy.
Writing is not an easy craft to master. If you want to write like a professional without plagiarism (抄袭), there are a few lessons to learn and the first one is: "Copy from one, it’s plagiarism; copy from two, it’s research." The correct interpretation of this statement is not about copying, but rather about creating your own style. When you study an author’s writing style, don’t stop on a single one, but explore numerous styles instead. Examine types of sentences they use, pay attention to their metaphors, and focus on stories you feel you could write a pretty cool sequel (续篇) to.
Imitation is rather paradoxical. As an integral part of learning, it brings about positive changes, making people develop and grow. However, it may do a lot of harm. Copying someone’s thoughts, ideas or inventions is completely unacceptable. It infringes on intellectual property rights of others.
Still, many things we do are about copying others one way or another. So if you want to compliment someone on the work they have done and imitate it, just make sure you do it the right way to avoid committing plagiarism.
Why does the author say imitation is rather paradoxical?
选项
A、It is liable to different interpretations.
B、It is by and large a necessary evil.
C、It can give rise to endless disputes.
D、It may do harm as well as good.
答案
D
解析
由题干中的imitation和paradoxical 定位到文章第八段第一句。推理判断题。定位句提到,模仿是相当矛盾的。随后两句解释说,作为学习的一个组成部分,它带来积极的变化,使人发展和成长,但另一方面,它也可能会造成很多伤害,故答案为D)。选项A)是利用原文中的interpretation设置的干扰,但与此词有关的原文只是在探讨对“复制一个人的作品,是剽窃;复制两个人的作品,那是研究”这条经验的解释,与模仿是否矛盾无关,故排除;根据定位段,模仿未必一定是坏事,因此也谈不上是a necessary evil(难免的坏事),故排除B);原文第四段提到了抄袭所引发的争执,但模仿不同于抄袭,故排除C)。
