第96章（1/2）

对方话音未落，夏冉江几乎是蹿了起来，可是没想到许菁也不慌不忙地站了起来，首先出声。

“Thank you for briefing us the basic rules defined by Belief.”许菁低头看了一眼稿纸，正视对方，说到rules时双手还比了个引号。“But instead of staying superficially on the basic rules, we need to learn more to arrive at the essence of Belief behind the quotes of Yin and Yang. Everything in the Universe has its natual laws. We can’t say that the principle of Yin and Yang governs everything. What exists is reasonable. And this is one of few laws that most religions and cultures agree upon. We also need to update our technology knowledge about reproduction. In your last sessions you strongly insisted that cloning and adoption helps better human generations. And this is also my solution to supplement what is missing in gay marriage, which this house have the strongest stance to legalize in this great country.”（感谢您让我们了解了信仰的基本规律。但是，除了掌握肤浅的皮毛，我们还是要深入了解一下信仰的实质，而不能仅仅停留在yīn阳学说的引述上。道教认为，宇宙万物皆有其发展规律，yīn阳学说不能适配万物，我们应该顺应自然。所谓存在即合理，这也是世界众多宗教和文化的契合点。同时，我们也要多学习一下关于人类繁衍的技术知识。就如对方辩友前几场比赛时大力支持的克隆技术和领养问题，我们也同意对方在这个问题上的观点，这也弥补了同性婚姻的缺憾。我方坚决赞同在本国通过同性婚姻合法化。）

许菁微微抬起下巴，眼睛里透出难得一见的从容和自信。对方一开始还趾高气昂的逐条提问，可是现在却慢慢低下头，紧张地讨论着对策。

“你是怎么知道他们前几场比赛的议题？”

夏冉江一脸风轻云淡，可是放在桌下的左手给许菁竖起了大拇指——刚才心里还捏着一把汗，生怕许菁控制不出情绪又开始人身攻击，不过刚才的回击语气固然有些刻薄，可是字字铿锵，一针见血，明显压制住了对方的气势。夏冉江知道，辩论中用宗教信仰和人类伦理做论据是bī不得已的做法，显然对方已经有些自乱阵脚，黔驴技穷了。

夏冉江把纸上的论据一条条划掉。赛程已经过半，杀手锏还没使出，夏冉江抬头瞥了一眼对手，都已经开始用纸巾擦汗了。

终于到了最后的总结陈词。胜负已定，夏冉江心里有了底，正准备拿着稿纸上台，还是决定放下稿纸，全程即兴发言。

“…As a government that takes the mission of serving the people, we believe we should respect the basic rights of people, and even more important is we should try our best to make it possible that such respect is exercised by the entire society. As an independent man, we live, we work, we laugh and we cry. We care and love others no matter it is a man or woman. Love means no boundaries. Why do we have to label love to what we are used to Ladies and gentlemen. No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love
