大學生英語辯論賽話題集錦(MP3+中英字幕) 第25場:證書是否比能力更重要
For:
正方辯詞：
A certificate is a necessity for finding a good job.
證書是求職的必需品。Certificates are beneficial to us to gain an edge over other applicants in the job market. With the amount of college graduates growing faster and faster, the employment pressure for us will be harder and harder. Therefore, having a series of certificates will make us outstanding in the eyes of employers.
在求職時，證書能爲我們“加分”。隨着大學畢業生數量的快速增長，就業壓力也越來越大。因此，一本本的證書能讓我們在求職時脫穎而出。
As a college student, obtaining a certificate can make our college life efficient. At the same time, those skills can be advantages for us to compete with others.
作爲大學生，考證也能讓我們的大學生活更有意義。同時，當與他人競爭時，證書能使我們佔據一定優勢。Certificates are very important for our future. After all, all we get from our major-related courses are just some basic theories which will not be enough for us to cope with the practical problems after graduation. During the preparation for the certificate, we can learn a lot of knowledge and skills.
證書對於我們的未來非常重要。畢竟，大學生在學校所學的專業課程僅僅是一些基本理論，這些知識對於處理實際問題是遠遠不夠的。而在準備考證的過程中，我們便可以學到許多課堂上學不到知識和技能。I think, no matter what kind of certificates, they all tell the employer that the owner is up-and-coming.
我認爲，不管什麼證書都能向招聘者證明其所有者是非常積極進取的。

反方辯詞：
Ability is more important than a certificate.
能力比證書更重要。One's ability is the key element for us to find a good job. To some degree, certificates can stand for a certain kind of skill; however, it is not a necessity for every job. What's important for the employer is the ability to learn.
個人能力纔是找到好工作的關鍵所在。從某種程度上說，證書確實能說明具有某一方面的技能，但並不是所有工作都需要證書。對於招聘者來說，個人學習能力纔是重要考察方面。As for me, pursuing a certificate is something terrible. It will cost us a lot of time, money and energy. What's more, nowadays, there are too many different kinds of certificates. Some are useful; some are worthless. Therefore, the value of certificates is doubted by the employers.
對於我來說，考證並不是一件好事。它會消耗我們大量的時間、金錢和精力。另外，現如今的證書種類繁多，魚目混珠現象嚴重，因此，證書的含金量也大打折扣。I think obtaining a series of different certificates shows the employer that the owner does not know about his likes and dislike, strength and weakness, which will do harm to job-seeking. While on the other hand, the potential and abilities shown in the interview process do matter a lot.
我認爲，頻於考取各類證書會向招聘者暗示該人對於自身未來發展的盲目性，這反而不利於找工作。相反，在面試中所表現出的個人潛力和能力纔是至關重要的。
