你需要参与英文课堂讨论:表达观点、回应他人、提出质疑。
💬 场景对话
Professor
Today we're discussing whether universal basic income is feasible. Who'd like to start?
今天我们讨论全民基本收入是否可行。谁先来?
Student A
I believe UBI could reduce poverty significantly. Finland's pilot program showed positive results.
我认为UBI可以显著减少贫困。芬兰的试点项目显示了积极结果。
You
I see your point, but I think the Finnish experiment was too small-scale to draw firm conclusions. The sample was only 2,000 people.
我理解你的观点,但我觉得芬兰的实验规模太小,不能得出确定的结论。样本只有2000人。
Student B
That's a fair criticism. However, even limited evidence suggests UBI doesn't discourage work, which was a major concern.
这个批评有道理。不过,即使有限的证据也表明UBI不会让人不愿工作,而这曾是主要担忧。
You
That's true for the short term. But I wonder about the long-term economic sustainability. Where would the funding come from?
短期内确实如此。但我担心长期的经济可持续性。资金从哪里来?
Professor
Excellent exchange. You've identified a key tension in the debate — moral imperative versus fiscal reality.
精彩的讨论。你们指出了这个争论中的关键张力——道德必要性与财政现实。
