第二篇：英語辯論賽一辯

？ 正方一辯：謝謝主席。各位觀眾，對(duì)方辯友，大家好。我方的觀點(diǎn)是網(wǎng)絡(luò)對(duì)于大學(xué)生利大于弊。隨著經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展和信息時(shí)代的到來，我們的生活發(fā)生了翻天覆地的變化，這就要求我們大學(xué)生應(yīng)該掌握更多更新的多方面信息，要求我們大學(xué)生從眾多角度來分析問題，那么我們大學(xué)生獲得信息的渠道應(yīng)該是什么呢？對(duì)了，就是網(wǎng)絡(luò)。網(wǎng)絡(luò)的優(yōu)點(diǎn)有以下幾個(gè)方面。首先，網(wǎng)絡(luò)可以給我們大學(xué)生提供更為廣闊的學(xué)習(xí)空間和學(xué)習(xí)資源。大學(xué)生可以通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)進(jìn)行英語四、六級(jí)的學(xué)習(xí)和計(jì)算機(jī)等級(jí)考試的學(xué)習(xí)等等，而且在大學(xué)里同學(xué)們?cè)趯W(xué)習(xí)上搞不懂的問題很多都可以在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上經(jīng)過探討獲得一個(gè)比較令人滿意的答案。除此之外，大學(xué)生也可以登陸眾多學(xué)校的網(wǎng)站，與其他學(xué)校的老師和學(xué)生交流學(xué)習(xí)體會(huì)，使得自己的知識(shí)更加的完善和全面。其次，大學(xué)生今后要從事的行業(yè)的動(dòng)態(tài)信息對(duì)于大學(xué)生也是十分重要的，那么這些信息的來源的途徑之一就是網(wǎng)絡(luò)，而且網(wǎng)絡(luò)的速度快，更新快，可以使大學(xué)生對(duì)自己專業(yè)的動(dòng)態(tài)信息了如指掌，這就使大學(xué)生今后的就業(yè)既有方向性，又有目的性，使大學(xué)生對(duì)自己所學(xué)習(xí)的專業(yè)的要求有更加深刻的了解與認(rèn)識(shí)，讓他們的學(xué)習(xí)不再盲目，讓他們的就業(yè)更加順利。總而言之，網(wǎng)絡(luò)是大學(xué)生所必需的，也是必要的，網(wǎng)絡(luò)對(duì)于大學(xué)生利大于弊。謝謝大家！

反方一辯：謝謝主席，大家好。首先非常感謝對(duì)方辯友的精彩陳詞，但是，在這里，我要指出一點(diǎn)，無論是學(xué)習(xí)還是專業(yè)動(dòng)態(tài)的查找，網(wǎng)絡(luò)都不是唯一的途徑，也未必是最好的途徑，希望各位對(duì)于以上問題要三思而后行啊。下面，闡述我方觀點(diǎn)，網(wǎng)絡(luò)對(duì)于大學(xué)生弊大于利。網(wǎng)絡(luò)的發(fā)展促進(jìn)了社會(huì)的進(jìn)步是一個(gè)不可辯駁的事實(shí)，但是，我們不能只看到事物的一個(gè)方面，我們應(yīng)該堅(jiān)持兩分法，學(xué)會(huì)全面的看待和分析問題，所以，我們也要看到網(wǎng)絡(luò)的弊端還是相當(dāng)之多的。第一，網(wǎng)絡(luò)使得大學(xué)生消沉。由于網(wǎng)絡(luò)資源的共享性，使得無論是否適合于大學(xué)生的信息都不得不被其所接受，而這里面就包含著相當(dāng)?shù)纳楹捅┝Ψ矫娴男畔?，那么試想大學(xué)生如果被這樣的信息所教唆的話，后果將是不堪設(shè)想的。第二，網(wǎng)吧的環(huán)境不好，根據(jù)統(tǒng)計(jì)，有八成以上的網(wǎng)吧煙霧繚繞、氣氛緊張，絕大多數(shù)網(wǎng)吧存在著安全隱患，由此可見，大學(xué)生的上網(wǎng)環(huán)境根本得不到保障，怎么能夠更好的利用網(wǎng)絡(luò)呢？所以，這一點(diǎn)大家一定要注意和重視。因此，網(wǎng)絡(luò)對(duì)于大學(xué)生蔽大于利。謝謝！

英語辯論 Shanzhai culture is good to China 開場(chǎng)陳詞 the beginning state Good evening, honorable judges, chairman, ladies and gentlemen, Our view is that Shanzhai culture is good to China For years, most users used “shanzhai” to just mean “fake”.But the vicious rivalry among shanzhaiji manufacturers is shifting the industry from imitation to innovation.With more than 10,000 black market handset makers in Shenzhen alone pushing units for profits of 10 to 20 yuan($1.5-3)apiece, low revenues and high competition means shanzhaiji makers must now get creative to survive.“Shanzhai mobile phones have shown pretty impressive innovation in terms of technology, appearance and manufacturability, which find no parallels,” said principal of Newport Technologies Karl Weaver, who specializes in shanzhaiji.“A lot of unusual technologies and designs are combined together.These combinations bring out a wild variety of functions, although most infringe on the original manufacturer in some way.”

China is the world’s largest handset market with about 650 million mobile users and another 8.52 million sets sold every month.Last year, about 250 million shanzhaiji entered the market, Weaver says.In Beijing’s Zhongguancun electronics market, vendors peddle fake Nokia phones with electric shavers and two SIM card slots — features the real brand doesn’t offer.3G iPhone replicas with exteriors identical to the real devices are sold for 400 yuan compared to $299.Others are printed with names like “Sunyericcsun”.The vast array of knockoff name-brand products, such as cell phones, DVDs, MP3 players, have made “shanzhai” the hottest word of the year.Now we wear shanzhai watches, talk through shanzhai cell phones, play shanzhai video games, use shanzhai computers, even watch shanzhai TV shows.Once a term used before some electronic products to suggest a copycat version of inferior quality, shanzhai now suggests to many Chinese creativity and trendiness.With the media all over the rise of shanzhai culture, public opinions are clearly divided.How to half agree with an opinion 表示部分同意

Well, it depends.I'm not so certain.Well, I'm not so sure about that.No, I don't think so really.I’m afraid i disagree.i'm afraid i have a different opinion.i'm afraid i don't share your opinion.i see your point, but i can't really agree with you.I don’t think so.that’s not（entirely）true.i find that hard to swallow.all right，but don’t you think?？

How to disagree strongly with an opinion 堅(jiān)決的否認(rèn) I disagree.I disagree with you entirely.I'm afraid I don't agree.I'm afraid you are wrong there.you can't be serious.you're really stretching the truth.I wouldn't accept that for one minute.what are you talking about? you must be joking.You can't really mean that.you've got it all wrong.no, i won't agree!don't waste your breath.You can't be serious.You must be joking.you don't have a leg to stand on.征求他人觀點(diǎn)或意見的用語

moderate government regulation, Shanzhai enterprises can even compete with those monopoly entreprises in domestic mrarkets It provides many opportunities for people to enjoy a kind of culture which we have never experienced before.While enjoying the creativity among the Shanzhai culture, people find their way of life revitalized and full of vigo

門門精通不可能，人的精力是有限的，只精通一門也是不夠的。

最好以一門為主，多門為輔。這樣精一門還是比精多門重要，又不至于把精通一門極端化了。

我覺得“門門通”肯定不會(huì)很精通，只是了解而已； 我支持“一門精”，因?yàn)槿说哪X力有限，裝不了太多的東東，就算裝多了，時(shí)間長(zhǎng)了也會(huì)一團(tuán)亂的，與其三心二意，不如一心一意，去做好一件事！

第三篇：英語辯論賽一辯稿

Thank you chairman!Ladies and gentlemen, my dear debates, good evening.Our side firmly believes that “l(fā)uck and opportunity is more important than hard

First of all, let’s have a look at the definitions of these two words.Luck, which means something good that happens by chance, and opportunity is the chance to do Today we discuss about the importance other than necessity, when a person has the qualification of luck, opportunity and hard work, which is more important? Obviously, it’s the former.Opportunities will lead him or her onto the fast-track of success

Then, a lot of things are pre-determined, and it just has nothing to do with hard work, for instance, we can't decide on the country we are born, we can’t choose our parents, also, we can't decide on our appearance and intelligence.However, no one can deny that all these factors play a vital role in a person’s success.What’s more, as the saying goes: Man proposes, god disposes.We can’t control over everything, and that’s where luck comes in.On the one hand, we may have done a lot of preparation, but we can't control the performance of our opponents or the judgment.That’s why we pray for luck before enter the contest.On the other hand, in some cases, success relies almost solo on luck, like lottery and gambling.Last but not least, when a thing is scarce it is precious, good luck and opportunities are rare, that makes them all the more important..That’s all, thank you!

第四篇：關(guān)于保護(hù)動(dòng)物的英語辯論點(diǎn)

Where can you see the animals in reality?Probably in the zoo or in the countryside nowadays.But when it is 100 years later ,if we don't protect them especially the wild animals from now on?I suppose that no one wants to live on the earth only with ourselves--human beings.Without birds singing in the sky,fishes swimming in deep sea,what a pity it will be!

捕殺動(dòng)物會(huì)造成生態(tài)災(zāi)難

一是長(zhǎng)期素食對(duì)身體不好，二是我不能確定吃肉在道德上算不算一件錯(cuò)事。

。有人說，動(dòng)物有意識(shí)、有感情，所以不該吃；有人則說，有“感知力”（sentience）不等于有自我意識(shí)（self-awareness），而有自我意識(shí)的動(dòng)物寥寥無幾，可是有些人問，就殺生而言，吃蔬果和吃動(dòng)物本質(zhì)上不是一樣的嗎？“ 也許動(dòng)物也是一樣。不能言語，不代表它們不會(huì)感受。它們也會(huì)感到快樂、疲倦、痛苦、恐懼。它們即將被宰殺時(shí)所感受到的巨大恐懼，也許一點(diǎn)也不比你我面對(duì)死亡時(shí)感受到的恐懼少。

從出生到去世，人的一生要吃掉多少動(dòng)物？我不忍心僅僅為了滿足口腹之欲，迫使那么多生靈經(jīng)歷這樣的恐懼。

這件事對(duì)我來說，是錯(cuò)的。

素食確實(shí)不算均衡飲食，但就算吃肉，有幾個(gè)人能做到均衡飲食？不吃肉帶來的害處，不比吃太多肉，或是攝入過多糖和鹽等帶來的害處多。而科學(xué)規(guī)劃的素食三餐，能把完全食素給身體帶來的負(fù)面影響降到最低。

長(zhǎng)期吃素，身體抵抗力低，患貧血者較多，壽命反而低于普通人。Nutrition [ ?k?lsi?m ] : iron鐵[ ?k?lsi?m ]

一、吃素可抗癌

二、吃素對(duì)心臟有益

四、吃素使身體強(qiáng)健

五、吃素更長(zhǎng)壽

六、吃素可祛斑和美膚

6、素食是減肥良藥。

11、素食者可以遠(yuǎn)離禽流感等動(dòng)物性疾病的攻擊。

First should realize the importance of protecting endangered animals, to protect endangered animals Second is to do not eat,not use them to make products, especially the wild birds, turtles, snakes many endangered animal protection department

This is a very obvious question.An obvious question always have an obvious answer.The answer for this question will be ”no“.First point that I would like to point out is why should we ever consider killing wild animals.In order to understand this point, we should define ”wild animals“.Wild animals include all those not for eating such as shrimps, trouts, in the ocean, or rabbits, deers, on the land.Thus, some examples of wild animals are: bear, tiger, shark, and many more.We don't need to eat these animals and thus they have equal right to exist as humans do.There is no need for us to kill them.Imagine us being wild animals, and a tiger comes to kill us.Anyone would feel unfair.Secondly, wild animals support the ecosystem very well.They serve their own role in the system.For example, the eagle is a wild animal and we don't eat eagles.They can haunt mice for us and eliminate those pests for us.If we killed all the eagles, there will be a population sprout on the mice and many other insects.That in turn is not good for us.Thirdly, many wild animals are near extinct due to human actions and destroying their habitats.For example, the siberian tigers are almost extinct because their habitats are destroyed in the North and human killed most of their prays and thus leave no food for them.It is against the humanity to allow any animal extinct due to human activities.Forthly, many wild animals are very cute.People like them.Cats used to be wild animals, but people found out that cats can be nice mice catchers and plus cats are very cute, now cats are officially house animals.There are many other wild animals like cats.How can anyone slaughter these cute animals?

Summing up all the points, it is not the right thing to kill other animals because we are superior than them.Imagine aliens coming in one day and decided to start a massacre on human race because they are better and have better weapons.How would we feel? It is not fair, not right, not human to do these things.So stop killing wild animals.We have already lost hundreds of species of animals to extinction.Once they are gone, they will never come back.It is important that we protect animals.All animals play important parts in the food chain as well as assisting other animals and plants.Animals are our friends, and friends should be protected.Animals help our environment, it's part of the ecosystem.Animals should have as much right as anyone should because they also have a life too.The balance of nature requires that all things work in union with each other.The dog kills the cat, that killed the bird, that ate the worm.Without the animals performing their natural functions, we would be overrun with rats，We need to protect animals in order for our society to be a compassionate, caring society.There is a famous saying-”You can judge society by the way it treats its' animals." This is a profound truth.

第五篇：英語文章：論語中看孔子思想[范文模版]

Xiaonan Jiang Midterm Paper(Confucius and the Analects)The Analects is a famous book that has influenced Chinese thoughts for thousands of years.As the saying goes, half Analects rules the world, thus it can be seen that the Analects is very important to the political field.Now I will characterize the political philosophy of early Confucianism as it is expressed in the Analects.First, the Analects suggests that the government should build a good leadership.Confucius attaches great importance to the leadership in the function of the political field, and he asks the leader must first make some achievements in morals, otherwise will be unable to lead the lower class of people.Confucius divides people in the society into two classes, namely “junzi” and “xiaoren”.Before Confucius, the original meanings of these two words were leaders and their subordinates.In the era of Confucius, these words began to having the moral sense.The Analects says: The relation between superiors and inferiors is like that between the wind and the grass.The grass must bend, when the wind blows across it.Combing the moral elements into the words which represented the the regulators and the regulated previously, the Confucians thinks that a leader should be a virtuous person.Also, Confucius suggests that the leader should set a good example to the masses.When Chi K’ang asked Confucius about government, Confucius replied: to govern means to rectify.If you lead on the people with correctness, who will dare not to be correct? Confucius also said that if a person was not covetous, although you reward him to do it, he would not steal.These examples illustrate that the governor should lead his men in a charge and 1 take the lead in doing good.Then the Analects proposes a right strategy of administering the country: Ruling the country by virtue.The Mater says: If the people are led by laws, and uniformity sought to be given them by punishments, they will try to avoid the punishment, but have no sense of shame.If they are led by virtue, and uniformity sought to be given them propriety, they will have the sense of shame, and moreover will become good.Confucius here compares two kinds of ways to run a country: ruling the country by laws and by virtue.He thinks using laws to deter citizens from crimes will only scratch the surface.But through the rule of virtue, people will establish the view of honor and disgrace, having the sense of shame, so they will measure their behaviors with this standard before doing anything.Obviously, leading by virtue is better than leading by laws because of its effect of a permanent cure.Particularly, I summarize three specific methods that Confucius advises.First, the government should win the trust of the people.When Tsze-kung asked about government, Confucius said that from of old, death has been the lot of all men;but if the people have no faith in their rulers, there is no standing for the state.In Confucius’ view, the faith is more important than economy and military and it is the fundamental factor of ruling a country.If we have to abandon two out of three, we should hold the faith.Second, the government should appoint officials on their merits.Whether an official is talented or not is suggested by the will of the people.According to the Analects, an official should advance the upright and set aside the crooked, then the people will submit.If he advances the crooked and set aside the upright, then the people won’t submit.2 Third, it is very important to civilize people.Zan Yu asked Confucius when the people have been enriched, what shall be done? The Master answered: Teach them.If everyone improves his spirit level, having a good character, then the ultimate goal of forming a moral society will be achieved.The core idea of running a country by virtue I think is carrying out the concept “ren” which means humaneness.There are many kinds of characters stated by Confucius as virtues, but the most important one which Confucius focuses on is humaneness.“Ren” is a very complicated concept in Confucius’ philosophical system because when I read the Analects, I found Confucius once explained the concept of “ren” in many different ways to his six students such as Tsze-kung, Fan Zhang and Yen Yuan.But generally, in my opinion I think the main point of “ren” is the love between persons or human affectivity.The benevolent loves others.Love can form a harmonious society, so “Ren” is the spirit of the virtue.The practical social norms to rule the country by virtue is performing “l(fā)i”(禮).The Confucius says: If a prince is able to govern his kingdom with the complaisance proper to the rules of propriety, what difficulty will he have? He also says that the superior man in everything considers righteousness to be essential and he performs it according to the rules of propriety.So I have the reason to believe that Confucius thinks ruling a country should be based on “l(fā)i” and “l(fā)i” is a form of expression of the virtue.Confucius lived in the late spring and Autumn period with much political chaos.Since the Zhou dynasty moved to the east, it declined gradually to the extent that didn’t 3 have the strength to contend with loca.Military states waged war with each other to fight for land and small stats were swallowed up by rising states.Within the states, the powerful bureaucrats often went against their superiors and overthrew the previous leader.Unrest occurred from time to time.Confucius says in the Analects: When good government prevails in the empire, ceremonies, music, and punitive military expeditions proceed from the son of Heaven.When bad government prevails in the empire, ceremonies, music and punitive military expeditions proceed from the princes.Under these circumstances, because it was the times that emphasized on the strength, the ancient ceremony and music system descended from King Wen and King Wu of the Western Zhou dynasty collapsed.The society was morally bankrupt.So it led to Confucius to restore the past system of rites and music.He wants to reconstruct a harmonious and moral society resemble the early Zhou dynasty.So we can say that the social problems closely relate to Confucius’ political philosophy.As for Confucius and his followers social background, they all have the strong will to enter politics although Confucius’ own political career was not very successful.Because of his unsuccessful political career, Confucius spends more time in education.So his political thoughts are tremendously educational.Also it is worthwhile to note that Confucius is a native of the state Lu（魯）.One of the characteristics of the state Lu is that it completely retains the ritual of the Zhou dynasty.And I think the environment may affect Confucius’ idea of restoring the ritual and performing “l(fā)i”.Although Confucius has gone for more than two thousand years, the precious spiritual wealth he left still has significant meaning to modern people.We should carry 4 forward these achievements and cultivate our morals.
