大學生英語辯論賽話題集錦(MP3+中英字幕) 第15場:占星學是否有科學依據

For:

正方辯詞：

There is a scientific basis for astrology.

占星學是有科學依據的。

Just as moon's gravity and orbit can control the tides of our oceans. It will make sense that the planets can control some aspects of our lives and have an influence on our personalities. Therefore, I think there is a scientific basis for astrology.

正如月亮憑藉軌道運行和引力可以掌控潮水漲落一樣，其他各種行星同樣也會對我們的生活以及人類本身的個性產生一定的影響。因此，我相信占星學是有一定科學依據的。

In my opinion, the astrology is scientific. It's no doubt that everyone has a magnetic field. Meanwhile, the planets and stars all have their own magnetic fields. According to the physics, magnetic fields will interact with each other. As a result, our bodies will be influenced by the planets.

在我看來，占星學是科學的。我們每個人都有磁場，這是毋庸置疑的。同時，在宇宙中不論是行星還是恆星其本身也都具有磁場。依據物理定理可知磁場之間相互影響，因此，我們的身體會受到行星的影響。

反方辯詞：

There is no scientific basis for astrology.

占星學不具有科學依據。

Although, nowadays, different kinds of newspapers, magazines and websites are filled with astrological predictions， such as Daily Horoscopes，Weekly Horoscopes and so on, in my views, there is no scientific basis for these predictions at all. If astrology were a science, then the daily horoscopes of all astrologers would be in full agreement among themselves, since they would be based on the same scientific data. But the reality is that many so-called horoscopes are contradictory to each other.

現如今，我們能在各種報紙、雜誌和網頁上看到星座運勢的影子，如"每日運程"、"每週運程"等等。然而，我認爲這些星座運勢預測是完全沒有科學依據的。假 如占星學是一種科學，那麼在基於相同的科學理論之上，每位占星家所作出的預測應該是一致的，而現實情況中很多所謂的運勢預測之間是相互衝突的。
