Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights verbal(言语的)fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions--like, say, tennis tournaments. Pairs of opponents the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered. Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments. However, there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position, formulate (阐述) argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully. Assess: strength and weakness. Raise objections(异议)and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort practice will make you better at it. These tools can help you win every argument--not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but i better sense of learning about what divides people, learning why they disagree with us and leaning to talk and together with them. If we readjust our view of arguments--from a verbal fight to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other--then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument. 1. What is the author's attitude toward Carnegie's understanding of argument? A. Tolerant.
