经济发展还是环境保护的辩论

英语辩论环境保护VS经济发展(经济发展正方）Which should receive priority in China? Environmental protection or economic growth.丁：Good morning everyone! We are here now debating about whether environment protection or economy growth should take priority in China, we think its environment growth that should be chosen. I have three reasons to prove this point. First, as a developing country, the economy power is far behind the developed counties, the income of per head in China is only in 109th among countries. So the urgent affair of China is developing our economy. Second, economy growth doesnt necessarily conflict with environment protection. We can develop our economy without environment pollution. Third, when our economy strength becomes strong, we can spend more money and energy on environment protection, till then it will be a win-win. In a word, considering the current situations, economy growth should take priority in China.（大家早上好，我们现在讨论的话题是，在中国应该优先考虑发展经济还是优先保护环境。我们认为应该优先发展经济，有三个原因：首先，作为一个发展中国家，经济实力远落后于发达国家，中国的人均收入排到109位，因此发展经济是中国的首要任务；第二，经济发展与环境保护并不冲突，我们可以在不污染环境的情况下发展经济；第三，当我们的经济实力变强，我们可以投入更多的钱和经历来保护环境，这就可以达到双赢的目的。总之，考虑现在的国情，应该优先考虑经济发展。）蒋：We agree economic growth is needed. But think about the past decades, we followed the old model of “first pollution, last treatment”, however, how did it come out? The environment problems have become increasingly prominent, and some local regions environment has been polluted to a dangerous extent that poses a great threat to our existence. Whats more, the cost was too high and the effect was not up to much. By this means, it placed us in a completely passive position. So, we must get to the bottom of the problem and learn from the past. We should consider the effect of pollution and receive environment protection in first priority. Only in this way can we solve the environmental problems in the future reasonably. Thats all I want to say.（我们同意经济发展是必要的，但想想我们过去的十多年，我们就是遵循了“先污染，再治理”的模式，结果怎么样了？环境问题日益突出，部分地区的污染程度甚至已经威胁了人类的生存。而且，治理污染的成本太高，效果也不明显，这就使得我们陷入了被动状态。因此，我们必须找到问题的根源，吸取教训，考虑污染的影响，把环境保护放在首要位置。只有这样才可能在未来合理地解决环境问题。这就是我想说的。）自由辩论邓：We all know that in many places of china like many poor countries, where the environment is pretty good, there are thousands people lack of money for the food the need to live. Then, opponent debaters, do you think we still need to limit our economies?（我们都知道，中国很多地方都还很贫困，这些地方环境可能很好，但数以万计的人都缺钱购买食物。因此，请问反方辩员，你是否还是认为需要限制经济的发展了？）马：But opponent debaters cant ignore the fact that most areas of China have solved the problem of food and clothing at present . Furthermore, the level of economic development in many cities in eastern China is very high .But the pollution is pretty serious accordingly. We have money, but being under the sub health condition. Does it make any sense, opponent debaters?（但是反方辩员不要忽视了，现在中国绝大部分地区都已经解决了温饱问题。而且，中国许多城市的经济发展水平在东方的国家中都是很高的，但由此而产生的也是很严重的。我们现在有钱，但健康条件都在亚健康状态以下了。请问反方辩员，现在首要发展经济还有意义吗？）丁：There do exist some eastern cities whose economy is quite developed, but you forget that China has 130 million people. The developed cities cant stand for the whole China. We know that environment protection need high-technology, High-tech personnel, and science research. They all need a lot of money, and money is created by economy. I want to ask my fellow debater that can we protect our environment well without strong economy strength.（确实有一些城市的经济已经非常发达了，但你忘了中国有13亿人口，这些发达城市根本不能支撑所有的人。我们都知道环境保护需要高科技、高技术人员和科学研究，这些都需要大量的钱，这些就是靠经济发展而来。我想请问对方辩友，我们怎么能在没有强大的经济条件下来保护环境？）蒋：Environmental protection needs economy . But we cant sacrifice the environment for the economic growth, and then come back to treat the pollution again. If you drink polluted water, eat the toxic food, can we have a high quality of life? Economic development must be on the premise of environmental protection. The policy of “returning farmland to forests and grass” is to protect the environment. Doses it show that the environmental protection is more important?（环境保护需要钱，但我们不能牺牲了环境来发展经济，最后又用这些钱来治理污染。如果你喝污染的水，吃有毒的食物，我们还能有一个高质量的生活吗？经济发展必须建立在环境保护的前提下。“退耕还林”的政策就是国家用来保护环境的，这不也说明了环境保护的重要性了吗？）邓：Opponent debaters have referred the returning farmland to forest policy. We admit our country has paid a lot of money for the environment .But the central task of the policies is still the economic construction.（反方辩友提到了退耕还林的政策，我承认我们国家已经花费了大量资金来保护环境，但我们政策的重点仍是经济建设。）马：We admit economic construction is our countrys principle task .But this policy is determinated according to the previous state of our country, we insist on that the premise of developing economy is sustainable development. We must attach great importance to the protection of the natural environment in the process of economic development.(我们承认经济建设是我们国家的重要任务，但这是根据以前的国情来制定的.我们坚持认为发展经济的前提是可持续发展,在经济发展的过程中要提高环境保护的重要性。)总结（刘）：正方总结：Our opponent said, “We cant sacrifice the environment for the economic growth” .I think what they said cant come true at present. Whats more, if we blindly protect the environment and neglect the economic development, then it has not any good for both living standard and national security， good development means nothing without security. Moreover, I must stress that the economic development not necessarily destroy the environment. To become a great powerful country, we must continue to develop our economy first and at the same time we can give sufficient attention to the environmental protection.（对方辩友所说的，不能牺牲环境来发展经济，我们认为现在还不可能实现。况且，如果我们一味地保护环境，而忽视了经济发展，对提高生活水平国家安全都没有任何好处。如果没有安全，环境再好也没有意义。另外，我必须强调一下，经济发展并不意味着损害环境。我们国家要想成为一个强国，我们首要的任务还是坚定不移地继续发展我们的经济，同时足够重视环境保护。）反方总结: Our opponent said ” the urgent affairs of china is developing our economy” .The goal we develop the economy today is to create a happy and comfortable life for people in the future . If the economic growth lead to the pollution of the environment, can we live a better life? The excessive economic growth has caused the greenhouse effect. As a result, thousands of coastal dweller has to face the fate of the migration. Moreover, the opponen
