Oh yeah, Dwan is our new friend, a very kind, trendy buddy.It's a teacher. 这是忙碌的一天。 早餐后,大家在德万的代领下到了教学楼。 噢对,德万是我们的新朋友,一位很和善,很潮的哥们。是位老师。 Walking into the spacious classroom, everybody looks at the things around them novelty. What followed was a groping test. Although everyone was nervous, they all seemed to be playing well. 走进宽敞的教室,大家都新奇的看着周围的事物。 随之而来的,是一次摸底小测。 虽然大家都很紧张,不过看上去都发挥的不错。 This time with us are students from other regions. For example, Guangzhou and Shanghai. Let's walk in the sunshine and visit the school after the quiz. 这一次与我们一起的,是来自别的地区的同学们。 例如广州和上海。 大家一起走在阳光下,小测完后去参观学校。 This is the stadium, where you can play all kinds of ball games together. It's hot and sunny, but there are many friends from Russia and Brazil on the court. 这是球场,在这里,大家可以一起进行各式各样的球类运动。 很热,很晒,但是场上不乏俄罗斯,巴西等地区的友人。 This is the basketball hall. Everyone is fighting hard and sweating on the court. 这里是篮球馆,大家在场上奋力拼搏,挥洒汗水。 In my opinion, this is a rare sporting spirit. 我认为,这是一种很难得的体育竞技精神。 You won't give up easily. 大家不会轻易放弃。 This is the library of The Masters University. 这是马斯特斯大学的图书馆。 Quiet, clean, well managed and comfortable to look at. 安静,干净,管理制度也很好,看上去令人舒适。 Books are the source of knowledge. They are very suitable for reading here. They walk step by step through the neat bookshelves, through the books, and cultivate the body and mind. 书籍是知识的源泉,在这里非常适合阅读,一步一步走过整齐的书架,穿行在书籍当中,陶冶身心。 The pool looks particularly comfortable. 泳池看上去也格外舒适。 This is the first regular sharing meeting in the afternoon. Do you take turns to express what you have seen, heard and felt during the day. What's great is that everyone uses all English expressions, and the youngest Li Siyuan is no exception. 这是下午时,第一次开例行分享会。 大家轮流表述了一天的所见所闻和感想。 特别棒的是,所有人都是使用全英文表达的,年龄最小的李思远小朋友也不例外。 I think that in the sharing meeting, you can greatly exercise your language skills. Even if it's ear-fumigation and eye-staining. And can let oneself become more self-confident, is a very good opportunity to exercise oneself. 我认为,在分享会上,大家可以极大的锻炼自己的语言能力。哪怕是耳熏目染也可以。并且可以让自己变得更自信,是一个非常好的锻炼自己的好机会。 Night fell. After the sharing meeting, some students came to the stadium to play sports. Our leader, Luis, brought basketball, football, rugby and tennis, and the silent night was filled with the sound of the students'movement. Laughing, yelling, landing and slapping of the ball. Clear laughter across the sky, as if illuminating a large stadium, the students'smiles were full, sweat slipped. 夜幕降临,开完饭后分享会后,部分同学来到了球场运动。 我们的领队Luis拿来了篮球,足球,橄榄球,网球,于是寂静的夜晚就出现了同学们运动的声音。 笑的,嚷的,球着地的以及拍球的抨击声。 清脆的笑声划过天空,仿佛照亮了不大的球场,同学们的笑颜尽展,汗水滑落。 Win or lose, everyone is the best. In the activities, we feel the enthusiasm of foreign friends, the help of teammates, and the love of sports among our classmates. And I myself, the initial understanding of these things and the unconscious interest in them. In the evening, under the leadership of the team leader Luis, we played football together, demanding that we must speak English, and we began to practice in sports. I think this way can help us to train spoken English very well. 无论胜负,大家都是最棒的。 在活动中,我们感受到了外国友人的热情,队友的帮助,同学们对运动的热爱。以及我本人,对这些东西的初次认识和心里不自觉产生的兴趣。 晚上,在领队Luis的带领下,大家一起踢足球,要求必须说英文,大家在运动中就开口练习了。 我认为,这种方式可以很好的帮助我们训练口语。 Personal feelings 个人感想 今日是正式开始认识美国校园的第一天! 个人来讲不是很喜欢美国的早餐,吃着感觉像快餐似的速食产品。 广州的同学应该更能感受到早餐的落差。 饭后是英语能力水平测评考试,作为经历过无数血战的准高三生已经无所畏惧了。这不是为了分班,而是为了根据个人水平制定最合适的教学方案。 晚上和flexible的Louis踢了场足球,哪怕穿着拖鞋也吊打一众年轻人,fancy的舞步,sharp的shooting,carry全场。 体育活动是一种非常棒的破冰形式,每个人都放下防备,投入一场友谊比赛。生理上的变化和在战斗中的放松的交流使得破冰如汤沃雪。如同几十年前那一场小球转动打球的乒乓外交。有时体育活动不仅仅是一种爱好,竞技,不仅仅是追求更高更强,同时它也被赋予了诸如破冰,身份认同,文化传播等多重意义。 ———许珈铭 有时候,每个人都会恐惧前方的路,害怕遇到跨不去的坎,总会被太多俗世所牵绊。憧憬渴望未来无知的相遇,却也恐惧未来那无声的分离。即使心中无限凄凉,无尽悲伤,但终要面对再世的点点滴滴。 一个人旅行,不理会繁杂的琐事,自由自在地,去体验一个城市,一段故事,留下一片欢笑。 ———林美吟 “我们的征途是星辰大海, 当小小草籽长成茫茫草原之时, 我们终将来到属于你的星辰大海的终点。” 美国之旅不止是增长见闻,更是一次历练,一次修行。 ———陈美瑜 在这里,一切都是由内而外发出的。 汽车几乎不鸣笛,看到行人自动谦让,不管是什么情况都不会去违法规则。这些是一种骨子里的品质。 大学里环境非常优美,绿植遍地都是,空气很清新,在这里学习,会感到非常愉悦。 ———刘人庆 本文源自微信公众号:海南省海南中学
