Chapter 26: The Power of Language
When Xiao Luo stood up, Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai's eyes widened in shock: "Come on, Brother Luo really wants to fight hard against Ruoran squad leader." ”
When it was too late for them to stop it, Xiao Luo stated his opinion in English: "I don't think money is the root of all evil!! ”
The words are sonorous and powerful, and they are clear to the ear.
As soon as these words came out, the classroom fell silent.
The entire professional fifty or sixty people all looked at Xiao Luo with surprised eyes.
One second......
Two seconds......
Three seconds......
Finally, a girl who had just stood up and fought for Huang Ruoran said angrily: "Xiao Luo, what do you want to do, if the squad leader says something, you have to oppose it, do you know how many catties and taels you have?" ”
Then, other girls who had a good relationship with Huang Ruoran couldn't sit still and made sarcastic remarks.
"Who wouldn't do the opposite, I also said that the sun revolves around the earth."
"If you have the ability, you can convince us all."
"Xiao Luo, your character is too bad, didn't the squad leader just reprimand you, just hold a grudge like this?"
Not only the girls who have a good relationship with Huang Ruoran feel that Xiao Luo's character is low, but other girls also feel that Xiao Luo is more small than their girls at this time, An Huanhuan wanted to say a few words for Xiao Luo, but in the end he didn't speak.
Zhu Xiaofei slapped his forehead: "It's over, Brother Luo has angered everyone!" ”
Ding Kai also smiled bitterly, they never thought that Xiao Luo would be so fierce and really dare to go against Huang Ruoran, who was very good in all aspects.
Chu Yue and Bai Aya cast sympathetic glances at Xiao Luo.
"If there are basically no loopholes in Ruoran's statement, this guy really dares to say anything." Bai Aya sighed.
Chu Yue disagreed, and blinked her beautiful eyes: "I said it earlier, he is just a grandstanding guy, now it depends on how he ends." ”
Huang Ruoran looked at Xiao Luo in disgust and didn't say a word.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
Tutor Zhong Meili quieted the classroom, and then said to Xiao Luo with some expectation, "Xiao Luo, you said that money is not the root of all evil, so can you refute Ruoran's statement?" ”
Xiao Luo is not a small belly, but he really doesn't think that money is the root of all evil, plus it is Huang Ruoran's stated opinion, he is happy to overturn it.
Unhurriedly, he said: "I only have four questions, first, there are thousands of evils in the world, can all the evils be explained with a single money?" Robbers may kill people and set fires for money, but are domestic violence, child abuse, and even genocide all about money now?
Second, the origin of money is actually intricate, we cannot classify it as a common source, dictators exclude dissidents, it may be for money, but can't it be for power and status? It can be seen that if money is regarded as the root of all evil, it is a bit of a partial generalization.
Third, the philosopher Sartre tells us that man has free will, man has the right to choose, because man must take all the responsibility for his own actions, and blame all crimes on money, which directly covers man's free will, right?
Fourth, if money is really the root of all evil, then why would anyone use the root of all evil to do good? Wenchuan earthquake, the whole country of China is united, many successful people generously donated, for the disaster area relief money, if money is really the root of all evil, then how did this root of all evil bear such good deeds? ”
After Xiao Luo finished speaking, he also stated it in Chinese.
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole classroom fell silent again, and there was silence, as if the sound of a thin needle falling on the ground could be heard.
Everyone couldn't believe that Xiao Luo really refuted Huang Ruoran's statement, it was not a nonsense at all, four questions, every word, like four punches, the view that money is the root of all evil was instantly crushed and shattered, and the logic was so strong that people couldn't help but admire.
The few girls who made sarcastic remarks before and were surprised by Huang Ruoran's grievances, Xiao Luo was able to list four questions, which they never thought of, and they couldn't find any words to refute forcefully.
"This guy can, I was surprised." Chu Yue was surprised.
"Yes, not only is the spoken English strong, but the eloquence is also first-class, on par with Ruoran, it seems that this will be a wonderful battle." Bai Aya said in surprise.
And Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai were also dumbfounded, looking at Xiao Luo with an looking up gaze, and it took a long time for Zhu Xiaofei to react and pat his thigh: "I'll it, how does Brother Luo's brain grow, this is too powerful!" ”
Tutor Zhong Meili was impressed by Xiao Luo, and she found out that this new student Xiao Luo was not like Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai, who was a bastard who didn't learn and didn't know how to live in a mess.
At this time, Huang Ruoran stood up and sneered: "Your four questions are indeed very good, but unfortunately the premise is wrong." In Cihai, the word '10,000' never means 'everything', let me give you an example, when we say that a person has experienced a lot of hardships, does it mean that he has experienced all the hardships, which is obviously not.
'10,000' means 'everything'? Of course not, money is the root of all evil, which means that money can produce a very large number and variety of evil deeds. History has long been clear about this.
At that time, the Roman Empire was in power, and the conquest brought glory and wealth to the empire. But soon, the simple Romans fell at the feet of money and indulged in the debauchery of the dogs and horses, and the Roman Empire fell apart in this decay and depravity.
In the Middle Ages, Catholics were once proud of their purity, but the magic of money finally broke through the place where moral beliefs were stationed, for money, Pope John 22 actually openly marked the price of crimes in the world, guilty of stealing as long as three gold coins can go unpunished, guilty of adultery, adultery five gold coins can sit back and relax, even if you kill someone, only seven or eight gold coins can ensure that your soul still goes to heaven.
When an ancient civilization that has existed for thousands of years is deeply corrupted by money, can't it be said that money is the root of all evil? There is an ancient Chinese saying: 'Take history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall', money has given birth to so many evils, if money is not the source of all evil, then what is the source of all evil? ”
Huang Ruoran's words were like bombs that exploded in everyone's minds.
Everyone originally thought that Xiao Luo's four questions were a dead end, but Huang Ruoran only quoted the interpretation of the word "10,000" in "Ci Hai", and overturned Xiao Luo's four questions from the premise, and everyone was deeply impressed by Huang Ruoran's eloquence and super wide knowledge.
The power of words, everyone suddenly felt that Huang Ruoran's figure was incomparably tall.
