1
This is the story of an argument
2
Jeff loved to argue about anything and everything.
3
After all, the Vikings were here before
4
Columbus and so were the Indians.
5
And we don't know how many others.
6
So how can you say
7
Columbus discovered America?
8
And you say Jonesville won the tournament last year?
9
Oh, they couldn't have.
10
Oh, liverwurst.
11
You must be crazy to eat that stuff.
12
That's the silliest opinion I've ever heard.
13
There are ten kinds that'll hold the road better.
14
We don't need to enter a new conference.
15
That's just the coach's idea.
16
He wants a better job next year.
17
If you like to argue so much, Jeff Field, why don't you go out for debate and learn something about it?
18
Look.
19
Look at all this stupid.
20
Now, what's a puppet theater have to do with debating?
21
Okay, Mr. Evans.
22
Thank you, Alice.
23
We've an interesting gadget here.
24
You'll see why in a moment.
25
Now, we're here today to find out how to argue.
26
Is that so difficult?
27
Well, it isn't easy to become skilled in argumentation.
28
Okay, Alice.
29
Now, first of all, what subjects are worth arguing about?
30
Now, let's see how many of us can recognize suitable subjects for arguments.
31
Alice?
32
Oh, Judy, Judy, where are you?
33
Judy, my love.
34
Oh, I'm tying my shoes, silly.
35
Well, now you're here.
36
Listen, I went out to the farm yesterday.
37
You did, and what for?
38
Oh, look at the animals, and I saw a purple cow, and I...
39
Purple cow?
40
Yes, and I went up to her, and I said, how did you talk to her?
41
Why, with my mouth, silly.
42
Answer my question.
43
I know you talked with your But that's not what I mean.
44
Well then, say what you mean.
45
Well, how could you talk to a cow?
46
Now, who said anything about talking to a cow?
47
Why don't you listen?
48
You interrupt all the time.
49
Now, look at her.
50
You take that, and that, and that.
51
No, talk to a cow!
52
I'm not a idiot!
53
Well, was that a good subject for argument?
54
What was the argument about?
55
Yes?
56
I guess it was whether Punch talked to a cow.
57
But Judy wasn't there, how would she know?
58
If there's no evidence available on your subject, why argue?
59
What would be a better subject for them to argue?
60
Well, Judy might try to convince
61
Punch that there is no such thing as a purple cow.
62
Or that he might be more observant.
63
What is a good subject for argument?
64
Jeff thought about that one.
65
He remembered some arguments he'd had.
66
You say Jonesville won the tournament last year?
67
Pointless to argue about a fact.
68
That's easily checked, isn't it?
69
Oh, liverwurst.
70
You must be crazy to eat that stuff.
71
Pointless, too, to argue about matters of personal taste.
72
They are seldom changed by argument.
73
That's the silliest opinion I've ever heard.
74
Why, there are ten cars that'll hold the road better.
75
Arguments about opinions can be purposeful for argument often does change opinions.
76
We don't need to enter a new conference.
77
And arguments about proposed actions can be purposeful if they make their points.
78
Yes, Jeff thought about these things.
79
All right.
80
If it's a subject on which we can influence what others believe, argument has purpose. If not, why argue?
81
Agree?
82
Fine.
83
Now, let's go on to another question.
84
Assuming that we have a good subject for argument, how should we argue?
85
Well, where do you think you're going?
86
Well, I'm going to Garden City next year with the team.
87
We're going to join the new athletic conference, you know.
88
Huh.
89
Just because everybody wants to take a trip, we have to join a new athletic conference.
90
Well, this is our big chance.
91
We'll put our school on the map.
92
Garden City!
93
Garden City!
94
Garden City!
95
Do you think we're blind?
96
Everybody knows you're just trying to take a nice old trip at the school expense and get beat, beat, beat!
97
Well, anyway, you'll agree we should try to put our school on the map if we can.
98
Sure, if we can.
99
We've done okay.
100
Well, let's not have the same kind of argument that they had.
101
This is a hot issue.
102
We chose it because it is a real issue here in our school right now.
103
It's a good subject for argument, agreed?
104
The question is, how can we make that argument profitable?
105
How can we argue so as to change opinion?
106
Now, let's repeat this
107
Punch and Judy argument.
108
Whenever you see anything that keeps it from being profitable, we'll stop the show.
109
All right, Alice.
110
Oh, well, where do you think you're going?
111
Oh, I'm going to Garden City next year as a team.
112
We're going to join the new conference, you know.
113
Wait a minute, man.
114
We haven't decided whether to join the new conference or not.
115
Punch doesn't seem to know what he's talking about.
116
And you feel you have to know what you're talking about to argue profitably?
117
I'll say.
118
All right.
119
One. Be informed.
120
Know your subject.
121
That's the first essential of how to argue profitably.
122
All right, Alice.
123
Ha!
124
Just because everybody wants to take a trip, we have to join a new athletic conference.
125
Well, this is our big chance.
126
We'll put our school on the map.
127
Garden City, Garden City, go to Garden City.
128
What do you think we're doing here?
129
Punch and Judy aren't listening to each other.
130
How can punch convince Judy if he doesn't know what Judy thinks and vice versa good point
131
That's step two
132
Listen and Understand you can't argue profitably until you know what your opponent believes
133
All right Alice Well, anyway, you'll agree.
134
We should try to put our school on a mess if we can
135
Oh sure if we can well Isn't there something there?
136
I mean, well, sometimes when you're arguing, you waste time over points you really agree on.
137
At least Punch was trying there.
138
Good point.
139
I wondered whether anyone would catch that.
140
Find common ground.
141
Two people in an argument usually agree on something.
142
They have to, or else the argument won't convince anyone of anything.
143
And if you know where you agree, you can see more clearly where you disagree.
144
Isn't that important in arguments?
145
Ah.
146
Find the issues.
147
Once you know exactly where you disagree, then you know exactly where to apply your information and reasoning.
148
So, find the issues and work on them.
149
Work on them?
150
Oh, I'll work on you.
151
I'll work on you.
152
After that, Jeff thought about subjects for argument, about methods of argument.
153
He watched himself, too.
154
Oh, that's silly.
155
The rehearsal couldn't be at 7 o 'clock.
156
Miss Alquist can't...
157
Miss Alquist can't get there by 7.
158
She likes to eat at Hanson's restaurant jam.
159
Punch and Judy argue.
160
What'd you say?
161
Oh, never mind.
162
If Miss Alquist said 7 o 'clock, I suppose we better be there then.
163
He tried to save his arguing for topics worth argument, opinions, proposed actions where his argument might make a difference.
164
He tried to be informed, getting knowledge that would be useful to make his arguments profitable.
165
He tried to listen, to understand his opponents and their positions.
166
He tried to find common ground from which better understanding could be reached.
167
And he tried to find the issues and attack them directly in his arguments.
168
It took time to learn to argue effectively.
169
But one day, not long ago...
170
Listen, gang, ticket sales are going swell.
171
So I guess we'll have to reserve the gym for our party.
172
Wait a minute.
173
Why the gym?
174
We want to use the lodge at Langdon Park.
175
That's rather expensive, isn't it?
176
No, it isn't.
177
Besides, think of all the...
178
Do you know how much they charge for the lodge?
179
Well, no. Well, we want our party to be informal, don't we?
180
That's right.
181
We could have a good informal time at the lodge.
182
We could decorate there.
183
And they have a big fireplace where we could roast weenies and marshmallows.
184
That's a wonderful idea.
185
So don't you think we should first find out the cost for the lodge and then decide?
186
Yes, Jeff is still an arguer.
187
But he is learning to make his arguments purposeful and profitable.
188
How well do you argue?

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
