大学生英语辩论赛话题集锦(MP3+中英字幕) 第15场:占星学是否有科学依据

For:

正方辩词：

There is a scientific basis for astrology.

占星学是有科学依据的。

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.

正如月亮凭借轨道运行和引力可以掌控潮水涨落一样，其他各种行星同样也会对我们的生活以及人类本身的个性产生一定的影响。因此，我相信占星学是有一定科学依据的。

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.

在我看来，占星学是科学的。我们每个人都有磁场，这是毋庸置疑的。同时，在宇宙中不论是行星还是恒星其本身也都具有磁场。依据物理定理可知磁场之间相互影响，因此，我们的身体会受到行星的影响。

反方辩词：

There is no scientific basis for astrology.

占星学不具有科学依据。

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.

现如今，我们能在各种报纸、杂志和网页上看到星座运势的影子，如"每日运程"、"每周运程"等等。然而，我认为这些星座运势预测是完全没有科学依据的。假 如占星学是一种科学，那么在基于相同的科学理论之上，每位占星家所作出的预测应该是一致的，而现实情况中很多所谓的运势预测之间是相互冲突的。
