debate

1 Ten days before the vote, Mr. de Klerk and I held our single television debate.

2 They criticize everything, and I mean everything, about me: my behavior, my personality, my manners; every inch of me, from head to toe and back again, is the subject of gossip and debate.

3 a heated/wide-ranging/lively debate

激烈的 / 广泛的 / 热烈的争论

4 “And I am coming. We don’t have time to debate this.”

5 After more than four months of debate, both the House of Representatives and the Senate voted by overwhelming margins to approve the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

6 During the debates, Congress removes a passage in Thomas Jefferson’s draft that condemns the slave trade.

7 I’m debating, diary, whether to take you along.

8 Maybe I’ll be forced to go to her stupid debate club, but there’s no way I’m participating.

9 In the prison debating, I had learned tricks to upset my opponents, to catch them where they didn’t expect to be caught.

10 No debate in my mind about—gee, should I stand up to him and try to fight again?

11 Lawrence’s withdrawal from the policy debate also reflected his long- held conviction that science and politics made for an unwieldy mix.

12 I sat there in the police station—arrested for suspicion of grand theft auto, a plausible suspect for carjacking or murder—and debated whether I should call my parents or go to jail.

13 I don't wish to debate my opinions with you.

我不想就我的看法同你辩论。

14 They are offered as conversation starters—food for thought, debate, and—I hope—collective action.

15 I imagine the debate would turn on how best to kill it.

16 The two of them engaged in an energetic debate.

两人辩论得火热.

17 A few of our servants were questioned, and in tea stalls and bus stands, possible suspects were debated and dismissed.

18 And all parties to the debate seemed to believe that history, as well as the future, was on their side.

19 I cannot await the outcome of their furious debate: 1 am too obsessed with Peace.

20 These debates are worthwhile, but it is critical to keep in mind that the question of how we do reform work is even more important than the specific reforms we seek.
