  有人认为科研开发只能有政府来进行,私人公司不应该被允许参与其中。你是否赞同此观点?


  There are countless private companies, such as IBM or Intel, investing financial and many other resources in the research and development of new technology. While I accept that the government, for safety concerns, should rule out the participation of profit-pursuing companies in certain fields, they still have a role to play in creating a better world with improved technology.


  Private companies' involvement in the research of some technologies must be restricted. If profit-driven organizations were allowed to freely conduct any experiment they are interested in, there would be devastating outcomes. For example, rather than being researched and developed by private companies, nuclear technology is strictly controlled by the government in almost every country. This is due to the fear that the technology of purifying radioactive materials which can be used to produce powerful weapons of massive destruction, such as an atomic bomb, may fall into wrong hands.


  However, there are financial and technological arguments in support of private businesses getting involved in the research of certain technologies. Firstly, since the money of any government is not inexhaustible, the budget allotted for scientific research is rather limited. This means that the government is unable to cover all needs of technological advances, especially those needed in people's daily lives, such as robots doing family chores. In the light of this, private companies have an important role to play as a good source of funds. Secondly, privately-owned companies help to accelerate the pace of technological advances, as they have to constantly launch products with new functions so as to compete for a larger market share.


  In conclusion, whether private enterprises should be permitted to carry out scientific experiments mainly depends on the field in which they intend to make breakthroughs.
