Debating seems common in our daily lives – you discuss social issues with friends, argue about an NBA game, and haggle to get a good deal on your new laptop. But when it comes to English debating, things are different. 日常生活中争论似乎每天都在上演。和朋友们探讨社会热点、争论NBA球赛、为买到优惠的笔记本电脑讨价还价。可要说到英语辩论，情况则完全不同。 The Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press launched the 16th national English debating competition this year, attracting over 10,000 students. 今年，外语教学与研究出版社举办了第十六届全国大学生英语辩论赛，吸引了逾万学生。 Experts say that debating is good for developing logical thinking。 有关专家表示，辩论有助于培养逻辑思维。 "In an era of entertainment culture, we need debating competitions to help more students pay attention to social issues," said Du Huiliang, deputy director of the college department in the Central Committee of the Young Communist League. 共青团中央学校部副部长杜汇良表示："在这个娱乐文化时代，我们需要这样一项辩论赛，来帮助更多学生去关注社会热点问题。" "By debating, students learn the truth about society and the right social and personal values." "通过辩论，学生们能够认清真实的社会，树立起正确的社会观和价值观。" |
