比賽場地

上海萊克頓學校

萊克頓上海學校是萊克頓第一所中國分校，其設計風格不但傳(chuan) 承了豐(feng) 富且曆史渾厚的萊克頓傳(chuan) 統，也體(ti) 現了最前沿的全寄宿教學環境理念。在這裏，學校能激發出每位學生最佳的一麵。

校園內(nei) 包含多功能禮堂、音樂(le) 中心、雙層開放式圖書(shu) 館、事內(nei) 體(ti) 育館、健身房、餐廳和單人間宿舍等；先進的建築設備係統覆蓋整個(ge) 校園，確保整個(ge) 教學環境的視聽及技術條件。

相信在這樣舒適的校園環境下，久別三年的線下年度冠軍(jun) 賽一定更加別開生麵！同學們(men) 是不是也既期待又緊張呢？別怕，這就帶大家重溫一下線下賽技巧！

我們(men) 邀請了資深裁判Andrew Li為(wei) 大家介紹參加線下賽的6點建議，幫助大家充分準備，發揮出最佳表現！

2023 NHSDLC SUMMER 線下賽參賽建議

作為(wei) 一個(ge) 辯手，首當其衝(chong) 的就是賽前準備好辯題所需要的資料。將比賽相關(guan) 文檔打印出來或在電腦裏整理歸類，並對它們(men) 進行清晰的標注。當然，生活方麵的準備也是非常重要的，大家要提前計劃好比賽期間的出行安排。

Preparation is essential before any debate tournament. As a debater, topic material preparation is paramount. We suggest that you print out or keep your materials in a folder on your laptop, including but not limited to your cases, blocks, summaries, crossfire questions, and evidence. Since you cannot access the internet during the round, it is recommended that you clearly label your materials to avoid panicking and unable to provide materials on time.

If you don’t live in the city where tournament takes place, traveling will also be a crucial part of your journey. You should plan your travel arrangements in advance, book tickets and accommodations. If you travel by plane, be sure to have a plan B: what if the plane is delayed? Can you buy a bullet train ticket at the last minute? Or can you leave earlier to avoid such incidents?  If you are lucky enough to live in the tournament city, you also need to plan your travel time to ensure that you can arrive at the venue before tournament begins.

這點是老生常談的話題了，不管是線上賽還是線下賽，準時守時都是辯手們(men) 必備的良好習(xi) 慣。賽中建議大家每個(ge) 環節都自己計時，時刻關(guan) 注自己剩餘(yu) 的時間，掌握好發言節奏。

Time management is essential for both online and offline tournaments. Punctuality is highly appreciated. We all know your opponents are going to get a BYE if you are 15min late, so please arrive on time. It’s important to set alarms before you sleep to wake up on time. In addition, it's also recommended that you keep track of your own speech.

合適的服裝雖然不能直接幫助你獲勝，但卻也能給裁判展示出你對待比賽的態度，給他/她留下良好的第一印象。線下參賽建議大家都著正裝，盡量穿著正式，讓自己更加自信，從(cong) 氣勢上壓過對手幾成。

Although appropriate dressing code cannot help you win directly, it can demonstrate your attitude towards the tournament and leave a good first impression. For offline tournaments, participants are advised to dress up formally. You’ll be more confident in suits and that will give you an edge over your opponents, no matter how experienced you are.  If you don't have suits, try to wear something formal, but never wear slippers and shorts to a debate.

線下賽更加考驗辯手的整體(ti) 素質，比賽中多一點手勢，與(yu) 裁判多一點眼神交流。適當的身體(ti) 語言可以增強我們(men) 的表達力，幫助我們(men) 更加清晰地表達自己的觀點和突出重點。

Unlike online competitions, where a small screen makes it difficult to show yourself, you will have plenty of opportunities to impress your judges in offline tournaments. Body language is a way of non-verbal communication, such as gestures and eye contacts, which will help deliver your arguments better. Great gestures not only attract your judge’s attention but also helps you stand out among your peers.

在辯論賽中，我們(men) 可以認識到來自不同地方、不同學校的選手，建立起自己的社交網絡。這對於(yu) 我們(men) 未來的學習(xi) 和發展都是非常好的。通過交友，我們(men) 可以擴大自己的人脈圈，獲得更多的機會(hui) 和資源。

Offline tournament gives you an excellent opportunity to communicate with other debaters, especially in the auditorium and the ones you meet in rounds. It is a great chance for you to meet other participants from different cities and schools and build your own social network. Maybe your opponent now will be your partners in the future.

比賽前充足的睡眠也是很重要的。雖然大家都對辯論有著由衷的熱愛，但是熬夜準備辯題的行為(wei) 還是不可取的，畢竟第二天你需要一個(ge) 清醒的腦子和流利的思維去拆解對方的論點。

We also want to remind you that getting enough sleep is very important. We appreciate everyone’s passion, but it is not a smart choice to stay up late to prepare the night before tournament. Your head needs to be clear to come up with adequate responses during the round next day. Besides, if you sleep over and miss calls from our staff, your opponents are going to get an easy win anyway. (Yes, I’m talking from my experience)

Finally, I would like to send NHSDLC's best wishes to all the debaters who will participate in the upcoming off-line tournaments.

Remember: debate is not about winning or losing. What you learn along the way and friends you make is more important than the outcome. We wish you all the best.

記住：辯論不僅(jin) 僅(jin) 是勝負，你們(men) 在比賽過程中學到的和交到的朋友比成績更重要。祝願你們(men) 在暑期國賽都能收獲滿滿！ 

當人道主義(yi) 援助遭遇種種挑戰

政治力量的介入到底是可以正本清源

還是會(hui) 導致更多的撕裂和災難？ 2023NHSDLC年度冠軍(jun) 賽 讓我們(men) 台上見真章！
