正方一辯：Thanksforthehost!Goodafternooneveryone.Beingaskedwhethermoneyisthesourceofhappiness,ouransweris“Yes.”Asisknowntous,moneyplaysanessentialroleinourlife,includingthedailylife,studying,working,emotionandsoon.Withmoney,youwillhavewhatyouwant,ofcourseincludinghappiness.Onthecontrary,whenyouarepoor,whenyouarehungry,whattotalkaboutyourhappiness?What’smore,accordingtothedefinitionofscience,wefoundthathappinessisafeelingofpleasurewhenwearesatisfied.Withoutmoney,wecan’tgetwhatwelikeandcan’tdowhatwewantto.Howcanwebehappy?謝謝主持人！大家下午好！被提問(wèn)到錢(qián)是否是幸福之源呢，我方的答案是：是的。眾所周知，錢(qián)在我們的生活中很重要，包括日常生活，學(xué)習(xí)，工作，情感等等。有了錢(qián)，你可以擁有你想要的，當(dāng)然包括幸福。相反，當(dāng)你貧困交加，當(dāng)你饑餓不已，你拿什么來(lái)談幸福？另外，根據(jù)科學(xué)的定義，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)幸福是一種滿足感。沒(méi)有錢(qián)，我們就不能得到我們所喜歡的和不能做我們想做的。如果這樣，我們?cè)趺磿?huì)幸福呢？

正方二辯：HowwouldthesurvivorsliveintheearthquakeinSichuanifthosewhohavealotofmoneyhadn’tdonatedmoney?Withouttheirmoney,manypeopleinSichuanwouldbehomelessorevenstarvetodeath.Peoplewouldliveinapainfullifeinsteadofhappylife.Somoneyisthesourceofhappiness.既然對(duì)方辯友說(shuō)沒(méi)有錢(qián)也能過(guò)得幸福，那么我想問(wèn)，如果那些有錢(qián)人沒(méi)有捐款，那么四川震區(qū)的那些幸存者將會(huì)怎么生活呢？沒(méi)有得到款錢(qián)，他們面臨的將是無(wú)家可歸，甚至是活活地餓死。人們是生活在痛苦之中而不是幸福。這就恰好證明我方的觀點(diǎn)：錢(qián)是幸福之源。

反方二辯：Indisasterareas,ifwithoutthehelpofreinforcementsandvolunteers,noamountofmoneyisuseless.Itwastheythatbroughtwarmth,hopeandlove.

Happinessisnotanend;itisaprocess..Itisacontinuousprocessofproductiveworkwhichmakesarealcontributiontoothersandmakesyoufeelyouareauseful,worthyperson.Thesearenotobtainedbymoney.在災(zāi)區(qū)中，如果沒(méi)有救兵和志愿者的幫助，再多的錢(qián)也是沒(méi)有的。是他們帶來(lái)的溫暖，希望和愛(ài)。幸福并不是終點(diǎn)，而是種過(guò)程。那是一個(gè)持續(xù)地通過(guò)為他人奉獻(xiàn)的過(guò)程，這樣做也會(huì)讓你感到自己是一個(gè)有用的且有價(jià)值的人。這些是用錢(qián)得不到的。

正方三辯：Justnowthedebaterofthenegativehassaidthatmoneycouldn’tbringwarmthandlove,isthisscientific?Ourpartydon’tthinkso.Inreallife,therearemanysuchthings:It’sdifficultforamanwhoisveryuglyandpoortowanttomarryawifewhilearicholdman’smistressiscountless.Whenthereisnomoney,eventhemostbasicoflovewillnot.Isthisstilldoesn’tmeanmoneyisnotthesourceofthehappiness?剛才對(duì)方辯友已經(jīng)說(shuō)了錢(qián)不能帶來(lái)溫暖和愛(ài)，這科學(xué)嗎？我方不這樣認(rèn)為。在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中，有很多這樣的例子：一個(gè)長(zhǎng)得又丑又沒(méi)錢(qián)的男人想娶個(gè)老婆都難，然而一個(gè)富老頭的二奶卻是無(wú)數(shù)個(gè)。沒(méi)有錢(qián)，連最基本的愛(ài)都會(huì)沒(méi)有，又何談幸福呢？這還不能說(shuō)明錢(qián)不是幸福之源嗎？
