When Xiao Luo stood up, Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai widened their eyes in horror: "Here we are, Brother Luo is really going to have a tough fight with the monitor."
When they wanted to stop it, it was too late. Xiao Luo stated his point of view in English gracefully: "I don't think money is the root of all evil! ! !"
Every word is forceful and clear.
When this remark was made, the classroom was silent.
The students of 50 or 60 people, all with dazzled sights darted their eyes toward Xiao Luo.
One second …
Two seconds ...
Three seconds...
Finally, a girl stood up to fight for Huang Ruoran and angrily said, "Xiao Luo, what do you really want to do? If the monitor says anything, must you object to it?"
Then, other girls who had a good relationship with Huang Ruoran also could not sit still and spoke sarcastically.
"Who wouldn't disagree? Isn't it also said that the sun revolves around the earth." (sarcasm)
"Don't talk nonsense, you can't convince us all."
"Xiao Luo, you are such a bad character. If the monitor reprimanded you, would you bear grudges?"
Not only do the girls who have a good relationship with Huang Ruoran feel that Xiao Luo has a low character, but other girls also feel that Xiao Luo is prettier than their girls. AnHuan also wants to say a few words for Xiao Luo, but eventually she didn't speak.
Xiao-Fei Zhu slapped himself on the forehead: "It's over, Luo Ge has provoked public anger!"
Ding Kai also had a wry smile on his face. They never thought Xiao Luo would be so strong and fierce that he really dared to oppose Huang Ruoran, who was very excellent in all aspects.
Chu Yue and Bai Xeiwen looked at Xiao Luo and casted their sympathetic eyes.
"There is no loophole in the statement, this guy really dares to say anything." Bai Xeiwen sighed.
Chu Yue did not think so and blinked her beautiful eyes. "I told you earlier, he is a grandstanding guy. It depends on how he ends up though."
Huang Ruoran looked with disgust at Xiao Luo, but she didn't say a word.
"Everybody be quiet!"
Teacher Zhong Meili calmed down the classroom and then said to Xiao Luo with some expectation, "Xiao Luo, you said that money is not the root of all evil, can you refute the statement?"
Xiao Luo is not petty, but he really does not think that money is the root of all evil, plus Huang Ruoran's stated point of view, he is willing to overthrow it.
"I have only four questions. First, there are thousands of evil in the world. Can a single sum of money explain all evil? Robbers may kill and set fires for money, but is it because of money that domestic violence, child abuse and even genocide are now taking place?
Second, the origin of money is actually complicated. We cannot classify it as a common source. Dictators may exclude dissent for money, but can't they do it for power and status? Obviously, if money is taken as the source of all evil, it is a bit biased.
Third, Sartre, the philosopher, told us that people have free will and the right to choose, because people must take all the responsibility for their own actions but blameling all the crimes on money, that directly shields people's free will, right?
Fourth, if money is really the source of all evil, then why would anyone use the source of all evil to do good? After the Wenchuan earthquake, the whole nation of China united as one. Many successful people generously donated money to the disaster areas. If money is really the root of all evil, how did this root of all evil produce such good deeds? "
After Xiao Luo finished speaking, he also stated it again in Chinese.
His voice just fell, and the whole classroom quieted down again, the sound of a pin falling to the ground could be heard if there was one.
Everyone couldn't believe that Xiao Luo actually refuted Huang Ruoran's statement. It was not just nonsense. The four questions, with good sense of every word, were like four heavy blows. The idea that money is the source of all evil was shattered instantly. The logic was so strong that one couldn't help gasping in admiration.
Before making sarcastic remarks, several girls who humiliated Xiao Luo for Huang Ruoran's embrace was shut silent, Xiao Luo was able to list four questions, which they never expected, and they also could not find any words to strongly refute them.
"This guy, really surprises me." Chu Yue said in a surprised way.
"Yes, his spoken English is not only strong, but he's also first-class in eloquence. This seems to be a wonderful contest." Bai Xeiwen said in a surprised way.
Xiao-fei Zhu and Ding Kai were also stunned. They looked at Xiao Luo with a kind of upward look. It took a long time for Xiao-fei Zhu to react and smacked his thigh: "I'm so shocked. Luo Ge's brain, It's too smart!"
Teacher Zhong Meili looked at Xiao Luo with special respect. He found out that the new student Xiao Luo is not like Xiao-fei Zhu and Ding Kai, that are ignorant and unexamined sons of b*tches.
At this moment, Huang Ruoran stood up and sneered, "Your four questions are really good, but the premise is wrong. In Cihai, the word "ten thousand" never means "everything". For example, when we say that a person has experienced hardships, does it mean that he has experienced all hardships? This is obviously not the case.
"Wan" means "everything"? Of course not, money is the source of all evil. It means that money can produce numerous and complicated kinds of evil deeds. History has already proved this point.
In those days, the Roman Empire was in the ascendant. Conquest brought glory to the empire and also brought a steady stream of wealth. But soon, the original simple Romans threw themselves at the feet of money, indulging in debauchery, until the Roman empire fell apart in this decay and degeneration.
In the Middle Ages, Catholics were once proud of being clean, but the magic of money finally broke through the place where moral beliefs were stationed. For money, Pope John XXIII had openly marked the price for crimes in the world. For theft, only three gold coins were allowed to go unpunished, for rape and fornication, five gold coins were allowed to rest easy, and even for killing people, only seven or eight gold coins were needed to ensure your soul could still go to heaven.
When an ancient civilization that has existed for thousands of years is deeply corrupted by money, can it not be said that money is the source of all evil? There is an old saying in China that "take history as a lesson and you can know the rise and fall". Money has brought forth so many evils. If money is not the source of all evils, then what is the source of all evils? "
Huang Ruoran's words, like bombs, exploded in everyone's mind.
Everyone thought that Xiao Luo's four questions were a dead end, but Huang Ruoran only quoted the definition of "wan" in "ci hai" and overturned Xiao Luo's four questions from the premise. everyone was deeply impressed by Huang Ruoran's eloquence and her vast knowledge.
The power of language, all of a sudden feel Huang Ruoran's figure became very tall.
