Firstly I have to stress that the real fashion are the things worshiped by the age. The pursuit of fashion is the same to pursuit beauty or even track to progress, all in all, it’s the performance of our appreciating of our lives. Fashion reflected the direction of the development of society, fashion reflects the progressive attitude towards life, fashion reflects the spirit of times. We young students, let us become the era's most fashionable and the most dynamic group. The flying youth, individuality-developing, full of enthusiasm, it’s our attitude towards fashion. This is our students the manifestation of the pursuit of fashion. As a young generation, we are the future of our motherland, in the future the world needs thousands of young people who are full of passion, if we don’t pursuit fashion that means we will be thrown away by history, means we automatically exit the fierce competition in the future, this is not our willing! Dear young friends, let us keep date with fashion and make the society in harmony.
反方四辩陈词：
Hello！Everyone，next，I will summarize. As we all know，the construction of a conservation-oriented society is becoming more and more important for our society. Thus, there are some people think about that should we following fashion to build the conservation-oriented society. In my opinion, we don't need to following fashion. Every countries have their own national conditions, especially our countries. Our national condition has distinctive features. So we should not to follow other countries. Take Japan as an example. Japan has made impressive achievements in the energy conservation, mostly because of the combined efforts made by the both public and private sectors since the first oil crisis. But, for our country, we have the largest population in the world. Except that, we are rich in resources, but Japan is lake of resources. So we should not to use the Japanese’s method to build a energy conservation-oriented society. We should try to create a new method to build it which suits our condition instead of following other countries. All in all, I consider that the construction of a conservation-oriented society doesn't need following fashion.

正方1：
As our nation’s national image is improving day by day, more and more foreign students see studying Chinese as a kind of fashion. Should we be opposed to this kind of fashion?
随着我国国际地位日益的提高，越来越多外国学生把学习汉语作为一种时尚。

请问，我们应该反对这种潮流吗？
My fellow debater, there is one thing I must tell you that the foreign student s’studying Chinese is not fashion. They are just planning for their future, and they just study for themselves, not the result of following fashion. I do agree that foreign students should study Chinese, but that’s not fashion. You’ve just put forward a wrong point.
反方1:
现在学生的主要任务是什么？是学习.你认为如果我们青少年在追求时尚的同时能不能学习好？
What is the main task of our young people? It’s learning. Do you think that whether we can learn well while we are pursuing fashion?
I agree with you on the point that the main task of our young people is learning.But at the same time, pursuing fashion can’t discourage us to learn. While we are pursuing fashion, we can learn very well. Following fashion can make us to make great progress.
正方2：
时尚意味着最新的消息，时尚一族也往往是消息最为灵通的。

我们都知道，在这个信息爆炸的时代信息往往会产生巨大的作用。

如果不追求时尚，难道我们不是损失了大量的信息，从而会导致跟不上时代的发展吗？
Fashion means the latest information, and who care about fashion can always get the newest news. As we can see, in this age of information explosion, latest news can make a great difference. If we give up following fashion, won’t we lose a lot of new information, and even can’t we keep up with the world’s development?
对方辩友请注意，不追求时尚或许会让我们丢失一些关于时尚的信息，但这并不能说明追求时尚就可以及时获得有用的消息。

首先，当我们追求时尚的时候，更多的精力会用于对时尚的关注，这是种对时间的浪费；其次，更多的对时尚信息的关注会让我们忽略掉其他信息，以至于丢失了更多有用的信
息。

可见，追求时尚并不会让我们获得更多有用的信息，而是将我们卷入了信息的潮流中。

追求时尚实非我们所需。

Please pay attention, my friends, no pursuit of fashion may make us lose some of fashion information. But it doesn’t mean we will get useful news at moment if we follow fashion. At first, when we follow fashion, more power would be attracted to fashion, that a waste of time. And next, the more attention to fashion information, the more other information would we ignore, even more useful information would be lost. So, pursuit of fashion won’t give us more useful information, and it will get us involved in the tide of information. Pursuit of fashion is nothing for us.
反方2:
在历史上，我们不好的时尚已经害了很多人。

例如，出国的妇女为了细腰几乎饿死。

这些我们都应提倡吗？
In the history, bad fashion has destroyed many people. For example, the maids of Chu dynasty loved to slender their waists, many of them were almost starved to death. Should we advocate this kind of fashion?
There are a lot of bad fashions in the history of the world, of course, in our country. But at the same time, we need to follow some good fashions. Should we follow the fashion of maintaining the advancement by learning? should we follow the fashion of getting out of bad fashions ? I know your answer will be yes. So that’s your question.
正方3：
In the Tomb-Sweeping Day, visiting ancestors' graves on the internet is gradually becoming fashion. The way of traditional sacrifice not only can make the waste of resources, but also can lead to environment pollution, even leading to fire. However, sacrificing on the internet is timeless and not polluted. We can also sacrifice faithfully to finish the purpose of sacrificing to ancestors. My fellow debater, how do you like this?
清明时节，在网上拜祭祖先成为一种时尚。

传统的祭祀方式，不仅造成资源的浪费，而且污染环境，甚至引发火灾。

而在网上祭奠先人，不受时空限制，不会污染环境，一样能诚心地祭奠，达到祭扫和纪念先人的目的。

请问对方辩友，对于这样的时尚，我们是否应该支持？
As we all know,in our country,tradition and culture is very important for us.Many people, especially the aged hold the idea that we should stick to the traditions of our country, otherwise, they think we will lose our distinctive Chinese character. There are a few young people believe that is a good and fashion way to sacrific a ncestor on the Internet.But your parents bound to tell you that is not filial or right. Thus,in my opinion,as a Chinese,we should not lose our tradition.We'd better foll ow and stick to the traditional way to sacrific our ancestor！
反方3:
我们没有经济能力，过分追求时尚会加重父母的负担，难道我们真的要用父母血汗钱来追求这看不见也摸不着的时尚吗？
We have no capability of making money, so taking pursuing fashion too seriously can load a large burden on our parents. Should we take the money from our parents to pursuing fashion?
As there are many good fashions for us to follow, we can improve our capability of living and working when we are following fashion. Our parents pay us for the fees of our study, but following some good fashions is also a kind of learning. we learn as we are following fashion. Following fashion do need money, but we are studying.
正方4：
“Developing with the Times”is our party’s policy to improve our nation’s creativity. Please tell me, should we follow the fashion of “Developing with the Times”?
“与时俱进”是我们党坚持先进性和增强创造力的政策之一。

请问对方辩友，我们是否需要与时俱进呢？
My fellow debater, I think you have enlarged the area of fashion. Do you know what is fashion? The definition of fashion in the dictionary is popular style(of clothes, behavior, etc) at a given time or place. However, is this policy popular? At least, I don’t know there is a policy of “Advancing with The Times”, and few of us know it. So it’s not fashion.
反方4:
处于心理发展尚未成熟的阶段，自制力太弱. 他们会被时尚迷惑吗？
The young people are in a stage of psychological development, and their self-control is too weak. Will they be confused of fashion?
I do agree with you on the point that the self-control of young people is not strong. However, at the same time, the fashion young people following can be guided by their parents, their teachers and so on. Following some good fashions is of great benefits to the young people and they can avoid following some bad fashions by the guidance.
正方5：
如反方所说，时尚总是关乎衣着举止，标志着最新最可看的仪表。

时尚体现了人们对于美的追求。

这么说来，是否反对追求时尚就是否定了人类对于美的追求，反对时尚就是闭上了发现美的眼睛呢？
As you said, fashion is always about clothes and behavior, it marks the latest and Most admired out-looking. Fashion reflects people’s pursuit of beauty. So, if we can conclude that, no pursuit of fashion negates people’s pursuit of beauty, no ashion means we close our eyes of finding beauty?
并非如此！时尚在追求美的同时常带有不理智和过分的狂热。

如古时女
子缠足受到追捧，今日粉丝想整容成自己喜欢的明星。

反对追求时尚，就是在反对时尚对人们的伤害，让人们更理智的选择真实的美。

反对追求时尚才是真正的追求美。

No, of course not. Fashion means not only pursuit of beauty, but also not sensible and super crazy. For example, foot-binding used to be popular in the past, and nowadays fans may want to make their faces look like star they like. No fashion
is against the hurt to human, and let us make a sensible choice of true beauty. No fashion is actually true beauty.
反方5: 我有个问题，请问，对于很多青少年追星这种现象难道不是浪费父母的钱吗？难道这也是学习的过程吗？
I have one question. Please tell me, is pursuing the popular stars a waste of money? Is this the process of learning?
My fellow debater, I think that you are opposed of following to popular stars. But I can say, following the popular star needn’t large quantities of money. At the same time, everyone need to have one hero in their heart. Following to the popular star can encourage the young people to study harder to keep pace with the popular star. Though that need some money, the young people are encouraged. So that’s a benefit to the young people.
正方6：
Against the pursuit of fashion, don't you feel too behind of the time?
对方辩友，你们反对追求时尚，不觉得自己太落伍了吗？
My fellow debater, I do think as we young generation, our mainly task is studying. We should keep up with science and technology but not the fashion you mentioned.
反方6:
据调查，某网站也提出与我们今天辩题相同的问题，其中82.35%的人赞成我方观点，只有少数的17.65%的人才赞成对方辩友的观点。

你们怎么看待大众的观点呢？There is a survey on a website about our debate. More than 80 per cent of the people in the survey support our point. My fellow debater, what do you think of this phenomenon?
There is an old saying that the true things are in the hand of a handful of people. As a result, most of people’s views are not right. For example, in ancient times, all the people think that the earth is flat, not a ball. But the truth is, that the earth is a ball. Can you say what large quantities of people support are right?
正方7：
The world has entered the era of information technology. Learning information technology and the computer technology are the trend of history. It is also a kind of fashionable. Can't we should against such fashion?
当今世界已经进入信息技术的时代。

学习信息技术，学习计算机技术是历史的潮流，也是一种时尚，难道我们中学生要反对这样的时尚吗？
My fellow debater, I am completely puzzled now, I have to stress that fashion is
the latest and most admired style in clothes and cosmetics and behavior. Computer systems represent science and technology, it’s not fashion, OK?
反方7:
青少年对流行的东西极具好奇心，一旦青少年对坏的东西产生了好奇心，而且他们的家长霍老师没在他们身边时，他们能摆脱这些东西吗？
Young people are curious about everything. Once they get curious about some things bad and there are no people such as the teachers, the parents around them, can they get out of the bad thing?
My fellow debater, we are young people, not children. We need independence. Should we depend on our parent for everything? I do know the answer that young people over the age of 18 years old should take responsibility for their actions. In the pressure of the responsibility, even though the young people have developed their interests in the bad thing, they can get out of it.
正方8：
时尚既然能存在并流行，不正是说明时尚的存在是对大多数人有益的吗？既然是有益的，那么作为年轻人的我们为什么要反对追求时尚呢？
Now that fashion can exist and be popular, why can’t we conclude that fashion is beneficial for most of the people? If fashion is beneficial, why should we teenagers oppose to the pursuit of fashion?
答：流行的东西，并不一定就会是有益的。

比如香烟，我们都知道抽烟有害健康，可是香烟却十分流行，吸烟者随处可见。

所以我们可以得出结论，时尚未必是有益的，我们不能因为别人追求时尚而盲目跟随。

What popular is not always beneficial, for example, cigarette, what we all know harmful to our health, is very popular and we can see smoker everywhere. So we can make a conclusion that fashion is not certainly beneficial, we shouldn’t blindly follow when others follow fashion.
反方8:
追求时尚是不是就是追求流行？流行的就能说明利大于弊么？比如流行感冒，那也是追求时尚吗？
Pursuing fashion is pursuing the things that are popular. Do all the things that are popular have advantages? For example, is flu we need to follow? Should we all get sick?
My fellow debater, we haven’t said that all the popular things. We should pursue the things of good fashion. If the things are not good, for what reason should we follow them? At the same time, flu is not the things we are pursuing, but the things we have to take. We have no choice but to accept it. We, the young people should pursue the things of good fashion, that’s really a good benefit to us.。
