老师们也喜欢组织面对面的讨论。华中地区辩论精英俱乐部每周都会举行一场辩论赛，吸引了近百名学生。

　　“The impromptu discussion and speeches inspire people to view a subject from a different angle,” said Yang Rui, leader of the English debating team at China Foreign Affairs University.

　　外交学院英语辩论队领队杨锐表示：“即兴讨论和即兴演讲可以启发人们从不同角度来看待相同议题。”

　　Someone might think debating is like quarreling but in Zheng Bo’s eyes, debating seeks a compromise.

　　有的人觉得辩论就好比是吵架，但在郑博看来，辩论寻求的是和解。

　　Zheng, 26, China Representative to World University Debating Council, is the judge for the national debating competition.

　　26岁的郑博是世界大学辩论协会中国代表，担任本届全国辩论赛的评委。

　　Zheng says that in most debating competitions, it is hard to decide who is right and who is wrong, but you can find what both sides agree on.

　　郑博表示，大多数辩论赛中，很难决定谁对谁错，但你能够找到双方达成一致的点。

　　“Debating isn’t a quarrel. Students should know that the criteria for deciding the winner is reasoned argument,” said Zheng.

　　郑博说：“辩论不同于争吵。学生应该知道——合乎逻辑的论证才是决定胜负的标准。”

　　“The great thing about debating is not reaching a conclusion, but understanding that certain compromises are valid; that stories always have two sides; and that we need to learn and tolerate both of them.”

　　“辩论的重要一点不在于得出结论，而是要明白可以进行一定的妥协;凡事都有两面，我们应该去了解并包容它们。”
