AB 本文借助语用论辩学的研究框架，分析《纽约时报》涉华读者来信中 “人身攻击”论证的使用，并对其使用的合理性进行评价。研究结果显示：《纽约时报》涉华“读者来信”中的人身攻击论证主要可分为三个子类型：辱骂型（侮辱他人）、境况型（怀疑动机）和“你也是”型（你也这样做），部分“人身攻击”论证的使用合理，部分“人身攻击”论证的使用引起谬误。其中造成不合理的“人身攻击”论证使用的原因主要是：（1）其论证的使用阻碍了反方提出质疑或相反立场；（2）在逻辑上存在缺陷或无效，经不起批判性问题的检视。鉴于此，我们建议相关话语主体在类似话语实践中使用论证时应注意：（1）根据语用论辩学的批判性讨论准则(“十大诫律”)，合理设计论证；（2）将受众视为罪严苛的理性评判者，确保论证能够经得起任何形式的批判性检视，维护自身理性、负责任的形象。This article under the research framework of pragma-dialectics, analyses the use of personal attacks in the China-related Letters to the Editor of The New York Times, and evaluates its reasonableness. The research results show that the personal attacks in the China-related Letters to the Editor of The New York Times can be mainly classified into three subtypes: the abusive variant (insult others), the circumstantial variant (suspect motives) and the tu quoque (you also). Both reasonable and unreasonable use of personal attack are identified. The unreasonable use of personal attack is mainly caused by: (1) the use of personal attack prevents the opponents from casting doubts or proposing his or her standpoint; (2) the use of personal attack has deficiency or even is invalid in logic, failing in the examination of critical questions. On account of this, the related discourse subjects in similar kind of discourse practice, should: (1) design their arguments reasonably according to the code of conduct of critical discussion (Ten Commandments); (2) consider the audience as an extremely rigor one, making sure that the argument can pass any critical examination, and so the rational and responsible figure of the proponents can be guaranteed.
