The CAS session on April 23, 2023, saw "Suyuan" Chinese debate competition held in the school auditorium. The competition focused on the topic--Have we changed the world or has the world changed us? 


辩手们早已做好了充足的准备,斗志昂扬,蓄势待发。

With high morale, the debaters had fully prepared for the event.


在主席陈同学的主持下,两方的八名辩手依次进行了自我介绍。随后,比赛正式开始。

Before the competition started, Evan Chen, the host of the competition, asked the 8 debaters from both sides to introduce themselves one by one to the audience.

No.1

开篇立论

Opening Statement

双方一辩针对辩题进行了开篇立论。正方一辩张同学点明“我们改变了世界”的观点,阐述了人类的主观能动性和创造力如何推动了科技进步,进而改变了世界。反方一辩俞同学则代表反方提出“世界改变了我们”的观点,他通过自然环境、社会现实和历史进程等对人类的影响,强调“人类只能适应和探索世界,但无法改变客观世界”。两队选手的言辞犀利、理据充分,为整场辩论赛拉开了序幕。

The first debaters from both sides made their opening statements on the topic. Ken Zhang, the first debater of the pro side clearly made their point that "we have changed the world" and explained how mankind has promoted the advancement of science and technology and thus has changed the world with their initiative and creativity. Ting Yu, the 1st debater of the con side, made their point that "the world has changed us". He emphasized that "human beings can only adapt themselves to the world and explore it, but cannot change the external world" by stating the influence of natural environment, social reality and historical process on human beings. The two debaters started the competition by exchanging sharp words, justifying their arguments sufficiently.

攻辩环节

Rebuttal

接下来是攻辩环节,双方二辩针锋相对地展开攻防战。正方二辩韦同学从“世界是个人价值的体现”切入,强调了人的本性是自由的,无法被世界所束缚。反方二辩刘同学则通过一个有趣的类比,讲述人们生来只是一张“草稿纸”,是外界对人的不断影响和教育才让一个人成为独一无二的个体。

Next came the rebuttal session. The second debaters from both sides met squarely on the issue in an argument of attack and defense. Tom Wei, the second debater from the pro side, began his talk by stating that the world reflects people’s individual values. He went on to emphasize that human nature is free and cannot be bound by the world. With an interesting analogy, Jason Liu, the second debater from the con side, stated that people are born as "scratch paper", and it is the constant influence and education from the outside world that makes a person unique.

质询环节

Inquiries

质询环节由双方的三辩向对面持方除三辩之外的辩手提出质疑。正方三辩宋同学率先开始质询,并提出了“世界是由什么构成的”、“世界改变我们需要什么步骤”等问题;反方三辩齐同学则通过一些具体事例提出了具体的问题,引导正方承认了反方“自然无法被改变”的核心观点。

During the inquiries session, the 3rd debaters from both sides challenged the other 3 debaters except the 3rd one from the opposing side. Jerry Song, the 3rd debater from the pro side, took the lead in asking questions such as "What is the world made up of?" and "What steps do we need to take to change the world?" Jerry Qi, the 3rd debater from the con side, raised specific questions by citing some concrete examples, leading the pro side to acknowledge the key opinion held by the con side that "nature cannot be changed".


No.4

自由辩论

Free debate

自由辩论环节是整个辩论赛最为激烈的部分,双方代表队自由发挥,进行互动式辩论。这一环节中,双方辩手的辩论水平和口才发挥得淋漓尽致。正方通过强调人类的价值观和理念的影响,引导观众思考人类是否真正意义上改变了世界。反方则强调历史和现实的矛盾,反复论证“人类对自然和社会趋势永远都只能够适应,不能够改变”。整个自由辩论环节气氛热烈,双方的表现都相当出色。

Free debate was the most intense session of the whole competition. Debaters from both sides got into a free and interactive argument. During this session, they gave full play to their debating skills and eloquence. By emphasizing the impact of human values and ideas, the pro side led the audience to think about whether humans have truly changed the world. The con side emphasized the contradiction between history and reality and repeatedly argued that "human beings can always only try to adapt to natural and social trends but cannot change them". Both sides did very well during the free debate session, causing quite a stir among the audience.

结辩环节

Concluding session

在结辩环节中,反方四辩李同学和正方四辩王同学依次对整场比赛的发言作出了总结。两位辩手逻辑清晰,发言饱含深情,用浪漫又具有诗意的语言阐述核心观点,为持方做出了精准的总结。

During the concluding session, Lee Li, the 4th debater from the con side, and Harry Wang, the 4th debater from the pro side, took turns to make a concluding statement for their own sides. Using romantic and poetic language, they both stated their key points and made an accurate summary for their sides with clear logic and deep passion.

最终,经过评委老师的打分和计算,反方获得了本次辩论赛的胜利。这次辩论赛还特别设置了“最佳辩手”奖项。经过评委的认真评选,最终由正方一辩张同学和反方三辩齐同学获得此项殊荣,他们的精彩表现为比赛增添了许多亮点。

Finally, the con side won the debate competition after judges scored and evaluated both sides. The judges also carefully chose its best debater from each side: Ken Zhang, 1st debater from the pro side, and Jerry Qi, 3rd debater from the con side. Their wonderful performances during the competition added to its brilliance.

这次辩论赛不仅锻炼了同学们的辩论技巧和思维能力,也让他们对“是我们改变了世界还是世界改变了我们”这一主题有了更深刻的认识。在交流和讨论中,同学们也体会到不同观点具备同样的重要性和价值,更懂得了如何包容和尊重不同的意见。

Through this competition, students not only developed their debating and critical thinking skills, but also got a deeper understanding of the debated topic. Students also realized that different viewpoints are equally important and valuable. Moreover, they understood how to tolerate and pay respect to different opinions held by others.
