经济发展与环境保护英文辩论赛

正方一辩陈述本方观点：从人类发展的终极目标看，我们要彻底地解决环境问题，必须要标本兼治。要治本，必须优先发展经济，从根本上优化经济结构堵住产生环境问题的源头，要治标，同样要优先发展经济，为解决眼前的环境问题提供技术、资金等支持，只有这样，才能为人类生存和发展提供环境保障。Fromtheultimategoalofhumandevelopment,weneedtoaddressboththesymptomsandrootcausestosolvetheenvironmentalproblemsthoroughly.Toeffectapermanentcure,wemustgivefirstprioritytothedevelopmentofeconomy,andoptimizetheeconomicstructurefundamentallytoblockthesourceoftheenvironmentproblems；Totaketemporarysolution，wealsoshouldgiveprioritytothedevelopmentofeconomy,sothatwehavethetechnology,capitalandothersupportsforsolvingtheenvironmentalproblems.Onlyinthiswaycanenvironmentprotectionbeprovidedforhumansurvivalanddevelopment.反方一辩陈述本方观点：经济发展是指社会能够提供丰裕的商品来改善人类的物质生活,环境保护则是采取一定的政策措施来保护生态平衡。经济要发展意味着企业需要更多的厂房与原材料来保障商品的供应——那便存在一个问题：自然分给人类的土地与原材料是有限,经济优先发展就一定会侵占原本不属于人类的自然资源。Theeconomicdevelopmentreferstosocietycanprovideabundantcommoditytoimprovehumanmateriallife;environmentalprotectionistotakecertainpolicymeasurestoprotecttheecologicalbalance.economicdevelopmentmeansthatcompaniesneedmoreworkshopandrawmaterialstoensurethesupplyofgoods——thenthereisaproblem,thatisnaturelandandrawmaterialstohumanislimited,economicprioritydevelopmentwilloccupynatureresourceswhichoriginallydonotbelongtothehuman.二辩盘问Twodebatequestioned反方二辩：请问对方一辩，经济是一时之事，环境是万代之事，哪个重要？经济发展慢了，人们还可以吃到饭，环境没了，还能生存吗？Myfellowdebaters，pleaseallowmetoask.Theeconomyisthetemporarymatter,buttheenvironmentisofthetenthousandgeneration,whichoneismoreimportant?WhenEconomicdevelopsslowly,peoplecanalsoeatrice;howcanwestillsurviveifthereisnoenvironment.正方一辩：不好意思对方辩友，恐怕我们今天讨论的重点是优先权。并不是说经济优先就不搞环保了，只是环保处于较次的位置，跟中国现状一样，政策虽然说要重视环保，但一般县区还是经济发展优先的，也就有资本的大城市才比较重视搞环保，相信大家心知肚明Sorry,I'mafraidthekeypointswedebatetodayaretherightofpriority.Economydevelopmentfirstdoesnotmeantotallyignoretheenvironmentalprotection,theenvironmentalprotectionisjustintheinferiorposition.JustlikethepresentChina,althoughthepolicyattachgreatimportancetoenvironmentalprotection,economicdevelopmentreceivepriorityinthegeneralcounties,thereisonlycapitalcitieswouldlikelytakeitseriouslytoenvironmentalprotection,everybodyknowitinourownheart.反方二辩：请问正方三辩，如果发展经济优先的话，很可能造成环境成本大于经济效益的情况，这样的经济是发展还是倒退？Excuseme,myfellowdebaters.Ifeconomicdevelopmentreceivesprioritythenitislikelytocausetheenvironmentalcoststobelargerthantheeconomicefficiency,sucheconomydevelopsorbacksup?正方三辩：这种情况确实有存在，但并不是每时每刻都存在。各个行业情况不同，我们不能以偏概全。但按你的意思，这种情况下经济效益是负的，那我们改行环境保护优先，就能转亏为盈？我不这么觉得。Thiskindofsituationistheretruly,butnoteverymoment.Thesituationineachindustryisdifferent;wecannotdrawconclusionsfromonepart.Butaccordingtoyourpoint,inthiscasetheeconomicbenefitisnegative,thenifwechangedenvironmentfirst,wecanturnitintoprofit?Idon'tthinkso.正方四辩补充发言：asadevelopingcountry,theeconomypowerisfarbehindthedevelopedcounties,Chinahaveonefifthofthepeopleintheworld,buttheincomeofperheadisonlyin109thamongcountries.sotheurgentaffairsofchinaisdevelopingoureconomy.Second,economygrowthdoesn’tnecessarilyconflictwithenvironmentprotection.wecandevelopoureconomywithoutenvironmentpollution.Third,whenoureconomystrengthbecomestrong,wecanspendmoremoneyandenergyonenvironmentprotection,tillthenitwillbeawin-win.Inaword,consideringthecurrentsituations,economygrowthshouldtakepriorityinChina.正方二辩：我们知道环境的保护是预防为主，防治结合，而预防和治理都要依靠技术的发展，那请问对方一辩，如果没有强有力的经济基础支持科学技术发展，那么以科技为支撑的环保从何谈起呢？Weknowthattheprotectionoftheenvironmentismainlyprevention,andweshouldcombinepreventionwithtreatment,andthepreventionandcontroldependsonthedevelopmentoftechnology,thenmyfellowdebaters,ifthereisnostrongeconomicbasisforscienceandtechnologydevelopment,thendon’tmentiontheenvironmentalprotectionsupportedbythescienceandtechnology.反方一辩：你的问题未免抽象了点。科技发展无止尽，经济发展也没尽头，什么时候算得上是“强有力”呢？但是环境保护是迫在眉睫，耽误不起。Yourquestionisalittleabstract.Scienceandtechnologydevelopsendlessly,sodoseeconomicdevelopment,whenwillitbeconsideredas“strong?Butenvironmentalprotectionisimminent,whichcan'taffordtodelay.正方二辩：请问反方三辩，经济发展是让人们享受到丰富的生活内容，包括衣食住行娱乐，这难道不是现在社会上人们的普遍愿望吗？Excuseme,myfellowdebaters.Theresponsibilityofeconomicdevelopmentistoletpeopleenjoyarichlife,includingthebasicnecessitiesandentertainment,isn'titnowthepeople'suniversaldesire?反方三辩：人们喜欢的期望的不一定都是好的。我相信，人们更倾向于在一个既能享受到生活乐趣，同时又是一个健康和谐自然的环境中生存。People`sexpectationisnotnecessarilythatgood.Ibelievethatpeopletendtoliveinalifeofhappiness,andatthesametime,surviveinahealthyandharmoniousnaturalenvironment反方四辩补充发言：我们生活的环境，我们的子孙后代也要在这里生活。我们发展经济破坏了环境，有些破坏是无法弥补的，是对子孙后代的犯罪。现在世界各国都已高度重视可持续发展战略的研究，大力发展绿色工业，无公害产业。我国是具有悠久历史和文明的大国，在发展经济过程中更应该重视环境保护，为子孙后代留下美好的生活空间。Theenvironmentwelivein,ourfuturegenerationshavetolivehere.Wedestroytheenvironmentofeconomicdevelopment,somedamageisirreparable,thefuturegenerationsofcrime.Nowcountriesaroundtheworldhaveattachedgreatimportancetothestrategyofsustainabledevelopmentresearch,vigorouslydevelopthegreenindustry,andpollution-freeindustries.Chinaisacivilizationwithalonghistoryandabigcountryintheprocessofeconomicdevelopmentshouldalsoattachimportancetoenvironmentalprotection,toleaveourfuturegenerationsabetterlivingspace.反方二辩小结：发展经济必须保护环境是自然规律的要求。经济发展过程中，如果自然环境受到了严重损害
