Have you been back to the place where your ancestors lived, worked, studied and played? Robert Qian, a Chinese Canadian, already has. Now in China, he has found that his family is like a tall tree with long roots.
你曾經(jīng)會(huì)到過你祖先生活工作學(xué)習(xí)玩耍過的地方嗎?羅伯特~錢,一位加拿大華人已經(jīng)完成了這件事.現(xiàn)在,他在中國(guó)已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)他的家族像一顆高大的樹木般有著深深的根（歷史悠久,家譜上的老祖宗很早的意思）
Robert is just one young overseas Chinese who has come to visit his ancestors' homeland, as part of the In Search of Roots summer camp program. The program is organized by the local government of Guangdong Province. This program started in 1980, and so far has brought thousands of overseas Chinese students to China to look for their families' roots. The young people are usually between 16 and 25 years old. Most, like Robert, can hardly speak any Chinese, and have never been to China before.
羅伯特僅僅是回來探訪祖先的故鄉(xiāng)的海外華人中的一位.作為尋根夏令營(yíng)活動(dòng)的一部份,這個(gè)活動(dòng)由廣東省當(dāng)?shù)卣M織.該活動(dòng)始于1980年,到今天已經(jīng)帶領(lǐng)了數(shù)千名海外華人學(xué)生來中國(guó)尋找他們的家族根源.年輕學(xué)生經(jīng)常是16到25歲之間,大部分學(xué)生,像羅伯特一樣,幾乎不會(huì)講任何中文了,以前也從來沒有來過中國(guó).
The students mainly visit parts of Guangdong Province in southern China. During the two-week camp, they study Chinese culture, see changes that have happened in that area, and visit interesting sights. Going to their ancestors' village is often the most exciting part of the trip. The students feel that they are part of the village, and experience village life. They drink from the village well, go for walks through the countryside, and watch the villagers do their daily activities.
學(xué)生們主要參觀位于華南的廣東省的部分地區(qū).在為期2周的旅途中,他們學(xué)習(xí)中國(guó)文化,參觀這一地區(qū)發(fā)生的巨變,以及風(fēng)景名勝.去他們祖先的村莊經(jīng)常是旅途中最激動(dòng)的部分.學(xué)生們感到他們是這個(gè)村莊的一部分,體驗(yàn)鄉(xiāng)村生活.他們品嘗村井中的水,穿越鄉(xiāng)間,看到的是村民們的日?；顒?dòng).
Cathy Qin, a young American student, had this to say, "Thanks to In Search of Roots, I am beginning to understand my Chinese roots, and who I am. It has been a great trip, and I have so many memories of China to take with me"
凱西~秦,一位年輕的美國(guó)學(xué)生,活動(dòng)后說：“感謝尋根之旅,我開始理解我的中國(guó)根,以及我是誰.這是個(gè)非常棒的旅程我有很多的中國(guó)記憶可以談?wù)?”
The program leaders believe strongly in the program, and say that the purpose of it is to give young overseas Chinese the chance to learn more about themselves. "I've really enjoyed the trip so far," says Robert. "This has been a big step for me, and I'm looking forward to finding out more about my roots during my time here:'
活動(dòng)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)非常信任這個(gè)活動(dòng),并且說此活動(dòng)的目的是給年輕的海外華人以機(jī)會(huì)去了解更多關(guān)于他們自己.“我真的很享受這次旅程,”羅伯特說：“對(duì)于我來講,這是一大步.我希望能在旅途中找到更多關(guān)于我的祖先的東西.”
祝你學(xué)習(xí)進(jìn)步,更上一層樓!請(qǐng)記得采納,謝謝!(*^__^*)
