National High School Debate League of China 公开论坛比赛指南-辩手篇 A Guide to Public Forum Debate 电话：010-6588 8799 邮箱：info@ National High School Debate League of China 介绍 NHSDLC 公开论坛辩论沿用美国公开论坛辩论形式。公开论坛（PF）辩论扣人心弦，参加 者多为较优秀的高中生或知识丰富的市民。公开论坛辩论赛始于 2002 年，当时被称作“论 战”或“Ted Turner”辩论会。公共论坛的设置是因为它比交叉质询辩论赛（以及较小程度上比 Lincoln-Douglas 辩论赛）更易于被一般公众所接受。在交叉质询辩论中，专业术语的使用 更多，而且语速更快，理解论点也更困难。NHSDLC 的公开论坛式辩论和美式公开论坛式辩 论几乎完全相同，唯一的区别是 NHSDLC 在立论环节将会多出一分钟，为的是让参赛队将 论点论述成熟。 公开论坛辩论比赛中由两队对阵，每队两人。两队分别站在正反方立场进行辩论。虽然参赛 队不一定在不同场次中持不同的立场，但这种情况出现的可能性非常大。因此，参赛队应该 为正反两方观点都做好准备。 Introduction NHSDLC Public Forum debate is a variant of American Public Forum debate. Public Forum (PF) debates are exciting and designed to be accessible to an intelligent high school student or an informed citizen. The first Public Forum debates began in 2002, known as “controversy” or “Ted Turner” debate. Public Forum was created so that there would be an event more accessible to the general public than Cross-Examination debate (and, to a lesser extent, Lincoln-Douglas debate), which had seen a significant rise in the use of jargon, rapid rate of delivery, and difficult to understand arguments. The NHSDLCs Public Forum is exactly the same as its American counterpart, except for one difference: the NHSDLC allots one additional minute for constructive speeches in order to allow teams to offer more developed reasons to prefer their side of the resolution. Public Forum Debate pits two teams comprised of two people against each other. These teams advocate that the resolution, or topic, is either true or false. Each side is called “pro” or “con”, also known as“affirmative” or“negative”. While it is not absolutely guaranteed that teams will have to debate both sides, it is extremely likely that such will happen. As such, teams should to prepare to debate as both affirmative and negative. 1. 公开论坛题目 公开论坛辩题一般每学期或学年更换一次，
