SDcamps•演辩营全国英语演讲与辩论赛
Man, guys, you know, it's…I can't believe how fast 20 years went by. This is crazy. This is absolutely crazy. 啊，伙计们，我简直无法相信20年就这么过去了。这太疯狂了，真的太疯狂了。 And to be standing here at center court with you guys, my teammates behind me and appreciating all this, the journey that we've been on – we've been through our ups and...
It's important because it puts a face on the issue. 它之所以重要，是因为它让你直面问题所在。 Now, a lot of people at this point will say to me, "You had me part of the way, but now here you go being all open about it now, and that's what I don't get." 说到这里，很多人可能会对我说："你让我懂了不少，但是你现在开始鼓吹同性恋展示自我，这让我很不解。&qu...
Since when did animals start providing us with our moral standards, particularly in the area of sex? 从什么时候开始，我们的道德标准是由动物来提供的？特别是性的道德这个领域。 I mean, think about this. ok. 我们想想。 Animals don't become state legislators, either. 动物是不会成为州立法委员的。 Can we lock Warren Chisum up now? 或者换个角度说，我们能把沃伦·奇松关进笼子里吗？...
President Obama still has eight months left in office before his second term is up. 奥巴马总统的在位时间还剩八个月，然后他的第二个任期就要结束。 Naturally, this is a time to look back on all he's accomplished over the past eight years. 当然，现在很适合回顾他过去8年的成就。 You know, I was going to make a joke about this, but I…I don't think it needs a joke. 我...
When I say it makes some people happy, I don't just mean that they're pleasurable, although that's part of it. 我说它能让一部分人幸福，并不是仅指它令人愉悦的那部分。 But, there's more to it than that. 虽然愉悦这一点是幸福的组成部分，但还有更多的东西在里边。 A homosexual relationship, like a heterosexual relationship, can be an important avenue of meaning and ...
Now, for many of these claims, we don't have to settle the statistical arguments in order to address the arguments. 对于很多这种无端的指责，其实并非每个都需要我们通过统计研究的方法加以辩驳。 Part of the reason for this is that correlation is not the same thing as cause. 原因很简单：相关性和因果性不能混为一谈。 How many of you have heard this before maybe in class? Ok. 你...
It was too tired, stressed, said it had a headache. 它太累了而且压力太大，并称头疼。 But Barack lit some candles and got some silky satin sheets. 但巴拉克点了蜡烛并且弄来了一些丝缎床单。 Silky satin sheets now. 丝缎床单哦。 Told the American people, "Yes, we can." 告诉美国人民，“是的，我们能做到。” Yes, we can, it's all right. 是的，我们可以，没关系。 He create...
What do they mean when they say that it's a choice? 当这些人说"同性恋是个选择"的时候，他们想表达什么？ This is one of those places where the orientation-activity distinction actually comes in handy. 在这种情况下，"性取向"和"性行为"之间的区别看上去很适合来佐证这种观点。 They might mean that homosexual orientation is a choice, having those fee...
I want to start with a thought experiment. 我想以一个思维实验开始我今天的演讲。 Suppose I told you that I'm imagining an activity that takes place between consenting adults, doesn't hurt anyone, and results in a great deal of pleasure for the people involved-and that's all that you know about the activity that I'm imagining. 此刻我们来设想某种行为，它发生在自...
What about the other side of this contrast? Sexual orientation. 我们接着谈另一个问题：性的取向。 I have a certain sexual orientation. 我有着某种性取向。 What is that? 它是什么呢？ I'm attracted to people of a particular gender. That's true. 我会被某种性别的人吸引，没错。 I'm also attracted to people of a particular age range, body type, personality type, certain ...
So much of what I've said tonight is based upon my moral convictions, convictions about fairness, convictions about justice. 今晚我在这里探讨了这么多，全部基于我个人的道德信念，我对公平的信念，我对公正的信念。 I think the way gay and lesbian people are treated in our society is wrong, not just irrational, but morally wrong. 我坚信这个社会待同性恋者不公，这种不公正的对待...
In fact, I want to take this a step further. 事实上，我进一步想说。 I want to say not only does this argument scapegoat gay people and make that sort of mistake, it actually is a greater threat to the family than what it's trying to fight. 这种论断不但错误地把同性恋者作为替罪羊，而且，比起它反对的同性恋来说，这种论断本身就是对家庭更大的威胁。 Let me tell you another stor...
And what we know about fascists is that they need to be defeated. 而对于法西斯，我们只知道他们必须被击败。 And it is why, as we have heard tonight, socialists and trade unionists and others joined the International Brigade in the 1930s to fight against Franco. 这就是为什么，如我们今晚所听到的，1930年代，社会主义者、工会成员以及更多的人加入国际纵队，并肩对抗佛朗哥的统治； It’...
The entire world is watching, and they look to us for stability and leadership. 全世界都在关注，他们将依赖我们提供稳定和领导力。 Now, I know some of the presidential candidates have been critical of my foreign policy. 我知道某些总统候选人对我的外交政策很有意见。 I don't want to name any names. -He's talking about Donald Trump. 我不想指名道姓。－他说的是唐纳德·特朗普...
I must admit I find some of these bizarre. 这种说法让人不寒而栗。 How does what I do in bed "threaten the nation's infrastructure?" 我们在床上的事情，如何能动摇国家的基础呢？ I might think I'm powerful in bed, but whoa, that's a crazy claim. 我的确在床上比较威猛，不过这种指责也太不着边际了。 Nation's infrastructure better watch out tonight, baby. &q...
Now, in the early days of my lecture, when I used to talk about risk, that is all I would say. 在我早先的演讲中，当我谈到风险的时候，我就只讲上面这些就够了。 But people would sometimes try to ask me a question during the Q&A period. 不过有人会在后面的问答环节里试图向我提问。 And I say "try to ask my a question" because it would often come out in a kind of garbl...
Now, Mr Speaker, it has been argued in the debate that airstrikes achieve nothing. Not so. 议长先生，刚刚辩论中有人争辩空袭没有作用。并不尽然。 Look at how Daesh’s forward march has been halted in Iraq. 我们来看看Daesh在伊拉克的前进势头是怎样被阻挡的。 The House will remember that, 14 months ago, people were saying: ‘they are almost at the gates of Baghdad’. 本院应该还记得，...
So, what is it really about? We need to look to some of the non-religious, or secular, arguments against homosexuality, and we especially need to do that if we are genuinely committed to living in a society that embraces freedom of religion. 所以，真正的原因是什么？我们来看看一些非宗教的，或者可以说更世俗的观点。当我们生存在一个支持宗教自由的社会里并且真心热爱它的时候，我们...
In the simple act of saying "his partner, Mark," not "his friend," or not "his roommate." 她的话非常简单："他的爱人马克"，她没有说"他的朋友"或者"他的室友"。 I mean you could hear the quote marks around the words. This is John's "roommate." His partner. 你甚至能从这话里听出言不由衷的引号来：这是约翰的&q...
You will find that gemstones that are mined in other parts of the world, often pass through Bangkok in either the cutting or trading process. 你将会发现世界其他地方开采出来的宝石矿石，要么在切割过程中，要么在贸易过程中，一定会途由曼谷销往世界各地。 Jewelry manufactured in Thailand are sold as brand name products to some of the biggest names in the industry. 泰国的珠宝制成品...
