辩论赛和辩论两者的参评标准是不一样的
辩 论赛是三方的事:正方,反方还有裁判。我们说一个队伍赢了是因为裁判说他们赢了(裁判判罚无法改变),然而裁判评判过程当中会综合的考虑到各种因素:双方 论点的厉害程度;某方观点能否击倒对方;两人配合是否默契;时间分配是否合理;辩手自身的口才;裁判个人的情感主观因素......我们自己作为辩手的并 不希望对方能够接受我们的观点,而是期盼能打动裁判。为了获取最终的胜利,我们可以使用语言当中的各种技巧,心理学中的技巧等等。
辩论, 是两方的事。它的评判标准是谁的方案(观点)更能够符合事实,更能解决问题谁就获胜(这是理论上的),它的评判是相当客观的。实际中辩论的结果也是多种多样:一胜一负;双方各有道理,博采众长,采用两者结合的优化方案--双赢;两者皆输(即两方答案均不正确)。
l 辩论赛和辩论所给予参与者的机会和时间不同
比赛要具有可观赏性,这就要有时间控制;辩论则相对来说没有时间限制,你可以随着研究的深入不断提出新的证据来支持自己的观点,可以四处请教高人来为自己出谋划策,你可以修改自己口误说错的话等等。
l 辩论赛和辩论参与者的策略方法不同
在 真正的辩论比赛当中,无论对方说的多么有道理,即便连自己听得都有道理,我们都不能承认其论点,具体的做法无非是:1)视而不见(下策)2)避重就轻 (上策,一般来说,辩手会故意夸大自己提出的本来不那么重要理由,而使裁判轻视对方提出的未加修饰和夸大的但却很重要的理由。)
反观辩论,为寻求解决办法的辩论双方都会本着实事求是的原则,客观的考虑对方的观点,并且在自己的原来总的观点上作出微小的修正:以使自己的方案更能符合事实。
杨立民教授:
作为一个教育工作者,我觉得这些辩论赛传达给我们的年轻学生三个重要的讯息。 第一,外语能力(包括口语能力)是值得为之奋斗终身的一种才能。
人们常说外语是交际的工具,是就业的保障,是打开个人幸福之门的金钥匙,是价值几十亿的大产业。实际上,外语的重要性不能完全从功利主义的角度去理解。我们还要看到它对我们现代化的成败,文化的再造,民族的复兴的作用。
我 们都知道金钱是一种力量,科学家告诉我们知识也是一种力量,作为一个外语教师,我要说,语言也是一种力量,口才也是一种力量。历史上叱咤风云的伟人,大多 同时也是语言大师。试想一个人,不仗权势,不动刀枪,不靠钱财,仅凭三寸不烂之舌,用我们熟悉的词加以不同排列组合,结果就能如此影响人,感动人,激励 人,说服人,团结人,组织人,改造人;就能如此一呼百应,让人舍生忘死,冲锋陷阵,是多了不起的力量!当年马克思一句“全世界无产者联合起来”,曾经激励 多少革命者为之献身。美国革命时期又有多少战士默默念着帕特里克?亨利的那句名言“不自由,毋宁死!”走上战场。讲到历史上的雄辩家,我们会想起林肯著名 的葛底斯堡演说,短短272字,却字字闪耀着光辉,成为不朽的经典。中国古代历史上曾经有个叫鬼谷子的,他的两个学生苏秦和张仪,一个周游列国,说服他们 联合抗秦,结果挂了六国相印;另一个却说服秦国将六国各个击破,结果统一了中国。说到培养一流雄辩家的杰出专家,这位老先生应该算是祖师爷。我们现在的各 类辩论赛,应该说重新唤起了我们对辩才的重视,让我们记起它是多么难得的艺术,多么有力的武器,多么巨大的力量。
辩论赛的第二个启示是:我们的学生应该有一种关切社会的精神,用一位名人的话说,就是要有一种指点江山的精神。
人 生来就有生存、温饱、发展的要求,在这一点上,人和动物没有差别。人之所以成为人,正是因为人还有列在马斯洛需求金字塔上层的要求。人类文明进步的过程说 到底也就是人类从只关心自己,到逐步关心家庭、部落、氏族、国家、社会、全世界、全人类的过程。这些年来,社会上出现了一种拜金主义和只顾个人眼前物质利 益,对社会各种问题,人类面临的各种挑战冷漠无知的危险倾向。感谢这些辩论赛,让成千上万的年轻学生深入思考各种重大问题,让他们去研究全球化的利弊,转 基因食品的得失,取消死刑的是非,安乐死的考虑等等。实际上围绕辩论赛准备的题材远远超过了以上的范围,而且可以肯定,随着改革开放的进一步深入,国内政 治空气日益宽松,人们会享有越来越多的言论自由,辩论必将越来越体现“真理面前无禁区”的原则,涉及越来越多的重大的敏感话题。这对于培养新世纪人才,培 养能够应对种种复杂的新问题,新挑战的年轻一代具有难以估量的意义。
辩论赛的第三个启示是:我们的学生必须有一种独立思辩的能力。
他 们看问题不能简单化;不能人云亦云,随大流,瞎起哄;不能只知其一,不知其二;不能先入为主,靠喜好,凭感觉,无根无据,胡言乱语;不能不尊重对方观点, 肆意歪曲,断章取义,攻其一点,不及其余。辩论赛的好处就在于让我们养成一个习惯,一种凡事都要问为什么的习惯;让我们学会一种本领,一种通过分析,思辩 找到真理的本领。我们的学
校不能生产只具有一定谋生本领的学生,不能出品只装有一些固定软件的机器人,我们要为社会提供的应该是具有强烈求知欲望,能够进 行创造性思维的不同的个体
