正方一辩极其观点陈述：
为了给我们的观点设定框架，我们觉得有必要声明，一切的经济发展都是建立于环境之上，没有环境，何来经济的发展。

如若环境遭受严重破坏，那么它的回复时间与代价都远非金融危机等问题可相比拟。

如今已有许多关于人们不注重于保护环境而引发恶果的事件，例如雾霾，土地荒漠化，水环境污染等。

环境是一切自然生命之本，而人类必然是自然环境的一部分，所以我们应尽量去把握人与自然的平衡。

环境保护并不是一定需要经济的支持，它可以是一种环保的意识, 在某些方面，保护环境反而会推动经济的发展。

环境与经济并非不可共存，只是只有在保障着环境的基础之上去发展经济，才是最为理想与科学的社会发展方式。

因此，我坚信环境保护更为重要。

To set the framework for our opinion,we believe it is necessary to state that, all economic development is built on the environment, which could be extended to say that no environment, no economic development. If the
environment is seriously damaged, its recovery takes much more time and cos t t han wha t we expec t in the financial crisis. Nowadays, t here are many t errible incide nts which caused by ignorance abo ut environme nt protection of people, such as fog and haze, land desertification, water pollution and so on. In addition, environment is the basis of all natural life and human beings are definitely part of natural environment so that We should try to grasp the balance between human and nature. Furthermore, environment protection does not necessarily need economic support.In some ways, it can be a sense of environment protection which will promote the development of the economy. In fact, both environment and economy could coexist only by developing the economy on the basis of environment protection ,which is the most ideal and scientific way of social development. Therefore, I'm convinced that environmental protection is more important.
H:Next,I' d like the negative side to present your opinion ,please. 反方一辩及其观点陈述：
首先，我们想要澄清的是，从过去世界上各个国家的发展历史经验以及一般发展规律来看，经济发展历来被放在首要地位。

无论处理什么问题，我们发现，只要优先发展经济，我们就能够有足够时间和空间来解决。

优先发展经济，不代表我们要走先污染后治理的老路。

要彻底解决环境的问题，我们需要为当前的环境问题提供技术、资金等支持。

同时,我们需要从根本上优化经济结构以便从源头上堵住环境问题的源头。

总的来说，我深信，只有当经济发展走在前面才能为人类生存和发展提供环境保障。

In the first place we would like to make clear that ,from historical experiences and general development laws of various countries in the past,economic development has always been placed first. Secondly,No matter what problems we deal with, we find that if we give priority to economic development, we will have enough time and space to solve them.In addition,Giving priority to economic development does not mean that we should take the old road of "management after pollution". To solve the problem of the environment thoroughly, we need to provide support for the current environmental problems, such as technology, funds.Meanwhile,we also need to optimize the economic structure fundamentally in order to block the source of the environmental problems. Above all, I strongly believe that,only when economic development go ahead can environment protection be provided for human survival and development.

反方提问，正方回答
反方二辩: 众所周知，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？
As we all know ,the responsibility of economic development is to let people enjoy a life of rich content, including the basic necessities and entertainment, isn't it the universal desire of people in the society now?
正方二辩：
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。

What people like to expect is not necessarily good. I believe that people tend to live in a life of happiness, and at the same time , survive in a healthy and harmonious natural environment.
反方二辩：
请问对方辩友，？原始社会的人类祖先们环境保护工作做得可谓好了吧，？而他们?经济发展很落后，所以他们才一直过着钻木取火、茹毛饮血的生活，按你们的?意思我们应该回归这种生活吗？
Excuse?me,?my?fellow?friends.in primitive society ,Human ancestors did well in environmental protection. However ,the their economic developme nt is very backward, so t hey had been living a life of making fire by?fricti on and drinking blood. Should we return to t his kind of life according to your meaning?
正方二辩：
人类祖先确实要发展经济，但是如果在这个过程中砍光了森林，污染河流，衣食得不到保障，在这种情况下那么他们也无法发展下去。

The human ancestors did have to develop the economy, but if they cut out the frosts and pollute the rivers, the food and clothing would not be guaranteed, in which case they could not continue to develop. 反方一辩：我不同意你的观点。

从人类与自然的关系上看，这个地球上如果没有人类，环
境保护就会变得毫无意义,而经济发展作为人类发展的原动力，使我们摆脱了最早一
批人们的生活，使我们人与自然的关系更为和谐更为紧密。

因此，人类逐步意识到了环境保护的重要性,并为环境保护制定了一系列的措施和法律制度。

I disagree with you. From the relationship between human and nature, the environmental protection will become meaningless without human beings on this earth. However, the economic development, as the motive force of human developme nt, has made us get rid of the life of the earlies t people, which also makes our relationship with nature more harmonious and closer.Therefore,human beings are gradually aware of the importance of environme nt protection and have formula ted a series of measures and legal systems for environment protection.
正方一辩：
我承认经济发展确实是原动力。

但人类发展到今天，环境问题越来越突出。

没
有扎实的环境基础，想要生活得更好这种想法恐怕只能是一种笑话。

保护环境并不是会拖慢甚至停止经济的发展，它反而对促进经济有着积极的影响；有了更好的环境，经济的发展的质量才会有质的提升。

I adm it that economic developme nt is really the driving force. But with the development of mankind, environmental problems are becoming more and more serious. The idea of wanting to live better without a solid founda tion of environme nt is probably a joke. The environme nt protection does not slow down or stop the economic development. On the contrary, it has a positive effect on promoting economic development; with a better environment, the quality of economic development will be improved.
H:Next, I'd like to change exchange the roles and the positive side raises ques tio ns.

正方二辩：
现在，对方辩友，请允许我提问。

你之前提到，优先发展经济使得我们能够有足够的时间和空间来解决问题。

然而，过去的发展道路走的就是先污染后治理的模式，结果呢，环境问题日益突出，局部地区已经到了威胁生存的程度？。

我们现在需要花更多的空间和时间来处理环境问题，这难道不是得不偿失？
Now my?fellow?debaters?,please?allow?me?to?ask.?As you mentioned before, giving priority to the economic development enables us to solve problems with enough time and space. However, the development path of the pas t follows the patt ern of ""manageme nt after pol lutio n"".As a resu lt ,environme nt problems become increasingly urge nt and some areas have reached the degree of threat to survival. We need to spend more space and time to deal with environme ntal problems,Doesn't the lose out weigh the gain? 反方二辩：
我注意到对方辩友提到关于过去的发展道路。

的确，当时那样的发展模式确实带来一些环境问题，但是它同时带来国家经济的蓬勃增长。

尤其是改革开放40年来，中国国内生产总值年均增长约9.5%。

在过去，我们很难想像在优先发展经济的方针能够给环境保护提供高效实用的新技术，以及大量可用的资本。

优先发展经济，我们不仅获得强劲的经济增长，还能获得更多的支持以便开展环境保护，使得我们能够高效率解决环境问题，何来得不偿失这种说法？
I noticed that you mentioned the development path of the past. Indeed, the developme nt patt ern at that time did bring some environme ntal problems, but it also brought about the vigorous growth of the national economy. Especially in the past 40 years of reform and opening up, Chinese GDP has increased by an average of 9.5% annually. In the pas t, it is hard to imagine that the principle of giving priority to economic development can provide efficient and practical new technologies for environmental protection and a large amount of cap ital available.Giving prior ity to economic developme nt, we not only get st rong economic grow th, but also get more suppor t to carry out environmental protection so that we can solve environmental problems efficiently. How comes the saying that the lose outweighs the gain? 正方一辩：
按照你的说法，如果我们优先发展经济，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?
According to your saying,if we give prior ity to the developme nt of the economy, it is likely to cause environmental costs to exceed economic benefits. Is t his economy developing or retreating?
反方一辩：
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。

即便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。

在我看来，强有力的资金和技术支持才是扭亏为盈的关键。

This situation does exist, but it does not exist all the time. The situation in each industry is different and we can't hold a part as the
whole. , Even if economic benefits are negative in this case, can we turn loss into pro fit by giving prior ity to environme nt protection ?I don't t hink so. In my view, strong financial and technological support is the key to turning loss into profit.
正方一辩：
科技发展无止尽，经济发展也没尽头，什么时候算得上是有“强有力”的资金、技术呢？但是环境保护是迫在眉睫，耽误不起啊。

science and technology develop endlessly, so does the economic development. When will it be "strong" capital and technology? But environmental protection is imminent ,which can not afford to delay. 反方一辩：
我不同意（你的观点）。

在如今的21世纪，我们通过资金和技术的累积已经形成了比较完善的环境治理体系，能够解决大部分环境问题。

政府也同时下调了经济增长的预期，为解决雾霾，水土流失等问题提供更多的支持。

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。

I disagree. In today's twenty-first Century, through the accumulation of capital and technology, we have formed a relatively perfect environme ntal governance sys tem, which can solve mos t of the environme ntal problems. The government also lowered its economic growth expectations, providing more suppor t to solve problems such as fog and haze , soil erosion and so on. We are not saying that giving priority to economic development means no environmental protection, but saying that environmental protection is in a secondary position.
正方二辩：
您说的优先解决经济问题，再解决环境问题，应该有个标准吧，而这个标准不是你我能定的，是环境承载力定的，现在的环境问题刻不容缓，保护环境的时间难道不是当下吗？
You said that give priority to solving economic problems, and then solve environme ntal problems.B ut shouldn't we have a st andard?And neit her you or I can set the st andard ,but it is up to the environme ntal bearing capacity. Now the environmental problems become increasingly urgent, isn't it the right moment to protect the environment now ?
反方二辩：
我承认环境承载力这个标准虽然合乎逻辑，但是我不认为现在大多环境问题
已经到了刻不容缓的地步。

前面我已经提到，良好的环境治理体系和来自政府的支持使得环境问题已经得到重视并且环境保护在许多方面取得了成效。

显然，这有效地减轻了环境的压力。

这一切要归功于优先发展经济，这使得我们有能力，有信心解决一切环境问题。

I adm it that the st andard of environme ntal bearing capac ity is of logic, but I disagree that most of the environmental problems are now in urgent situation. As I mentio ned before, the good environme ntal governance sys tem and the suppor t from the governme nt have att ach impor tance to environme ntal problems and many achieveme nts have been made in environme ntal protection. Obviously, t his could effec ti vely ligh ten the pressure of the environme nt. All this is due to giving priority to economic development, which enables us to have the abi lity and confidence to solve all environme ntal problems. 总结陈词：
H:Now both sides please make a summary of your views.The posi tive side
goes firs t,and t hen the nega tive side.
正方总结：
过去的发展道路走的就是先污染后治理的模式，结果呢，环境问题突出，局部地区已经到了威胁生存的程度：再者，先污染后治理的模式不但成本高，而且治理效果也不理想，处于一种被动的境地。

因此，必须从源头开始防止污染，也就是发展过程首先考虑对环境可能的影响，只有这样，才能有望在将来解决环境问题。

As far as I am con cer ned,the developme nt path of the past follows the pattern of “ma nageme nt after polluti on” .As a result, the en vir onment problems become in creas in gly urge nt and some areas have reached the degree of threat to survival .Furthermore,management-after-pollution pattern not only have higher costs, but also is in efficie nt, which is in a passive positi on. Therefore, we must start to preve nt polluti on from the source, that is to con sider the possible in flue nee on the en vir onmen t firstly duri ng the developme nt process. Only in this way, can we except to solve en vir onment problems in the future.
反方总结：
首先，我是一个支持环保的人，拥有一个健康的生态环境是可持续发展得以进
行的前提。

但是，如果一味的保护环境，而忽视经济发展，那么对于经济的发展不利，对于人们生活水平的提高也同样不利。

同时，我也必须强调，经济发展绝对不是破坏环境，那样的发展，也是违背自然规律的。

在发展经济的同时，我们要兼顾治理环境，才是当今可持续发展经济的理念。

First of all, I am a supporter of environment protection and having a healthy ecological environment is the premise of sustainable development. However, if we blindly protect the environment, and neglect the economic developme nt, t hen it will have nega tive effec t on both the natio nal economy and improveme nt to the living st andard of people . At the same ti me, I mus t stress that economic development doesn't necessarily destroy the
environment and such development also violates the natural law. While giving priority to economic development, we should also pay attention to the environmental protection, and t his is also the concept of sustainable economic development.。
