I’ve been thinking recently about three debates. In the first, which took place in January 2016, two Harvard students, Fanele Mashwama and Bo Seo, proposed that “the world’s poor would be justified in pursuing complete Marxist revolution”. In the second, in October of the same year, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump debated which of them should be the next president of the United States. In the third, author David McRaney discussed the shape of the planet on which we live with Mark Sargent, a man best known for his popular YouTube videos asserting that the Earth is flat.
我最近一直在思考三場(chǎng)辯論。第一場(chǎng)發(fā)生在2016年1月，兩名哈佛學(xué)生法內(nèi)爾·馬什瓦馬和徐博提出“世界上的窮人有理由追求徹底的馬克思主義革命”。第二場(chǎng)發(fā)生在同年10月，希拉里?克林頓和唐納德?特朗普就誰(shuí)應(yīng)該成為下一任美國(guó)總統(tǒng)展開(kāi)辯論。在第三場(chǎng)辯論中，作家大衛(wèi)?麥克拉尼與馬克·薩金特討論了我們所生活的地球的形狀，薩金特最出名的是他在YouTube上的熱門視頻，他斷言地球是平的。
