雅思口语part2话题卡：Describe an argument two of your friends had 描述你的两个朋友之间的争论(朋友的争执)

思路点拨：以下思路仅供参考，希望大家根据自己的真实经历编写答案

该题难度系数适中，如果你自己没有看到过别人争论事情，那么，把自己的遭遇换成他人也可以。毕竟我们生活中难免会和朋友发生意见不合的情况。但是，同学们要理解argument这个单词的含义。在柯林斯词典中是这样定义的：An argument is a statement or set of statements that you use in order to try to convince people that your opinion about something is correct. 也就是说，它不能仅仅是吵架(quarrel)而是要带有statement(有观点的陈述)来驳倒对方的观点。只要做到这一点，就不用担心是否跑题了。建议大家先看题目自我口头作答，然后再参考范文进行学习。

参考答案

下面是小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

I’d like to share with you an argument my friends had last year when we were having a gathering meal at a hot-pot restaurant.

我想给您分享一个我朋友们去年的争论。当时我们在一家火锅餐馆聚餐。

The argument was about whether God exists or not. It was the hardest question for me. You know, both of my friends were quite into philosophy, so they somehow picked up this topic.

争论的话题是上帝是否存在。这对我来说是最难的问题了。我的两个朋友对哲学特别感兴趣，所以不知道咋的就谈到这个话题上面了。

They were smart and had good reasoning and logic but when it came to this topic, it seemed that neither of them could convince each other easily. You know, they had totally different academic backgrounds. One studied history and the other concentrated on biochemistry and literally used up all the expertise they had as rebuttals.

他们都很聪明而且有逻辑，但是遇到这个话题之后，似乎谁也无法轻松让对方信服。他们有着完全不同的学术背景。一个研究的是历史，另外一个是生物化学，他们用上了自己能够用的专业知识当做论据。

They kept presenting reasoning and arguments until the restaurant was closed. It seemed that there was no evidence that could solve the problem otherwise they would become the saints of the world in history. For me, it was like a chicken and egg issue. We might never know until someday our civilization evolves at a higher level that can tackle all the unknown things of the universe.

就在餐馆快要打烊了，他们还在继续争论。似乎没有证据能够解决这个问题，不然的话，他们就是世界历史上的圣人了。对于我来说，这有点像是现有蛋还是现有鸡的问题。我们恐怕只有等到人类文明发展到能够解决宇宙所有未知问题之后才能搞得明白。

But, anyway, I was appreciative that I could listen to them arguing. It gave me an opportunity to ponder on those ideological and philosophical perspectives of our lives. We don’t just live to eat, but we also live to think. And that makes our lives more meaningful.

不过，不管怎样，我还是挺感谢他们的那场争论的。这给了我一次让我思考生活中的意识形态和哲学问题。我们活着不只是为了吃饭，更是要去思考。这让我们的生命变得更有意义。
