For me, the start of a new academic year has always been more significant than the start of a new calendar year. It will probably change in the future but having been a schoolkid/student all my life, September brings a much bigger change for me than January does. That’s why I’ve decided to start the 5 Life Lessons category to put them all together.
對于我來說,新學年的開始遠比日歷當中新一年的開始來的重要得多。也許這一習慣在以后將會有所轉變,但是對于我這么一個已經做學生這么久的我來說,九月要遠遠比一月給我帶來的多。這也就是為什么,我決定要把生命中的五堂課放在一起講的原因了。
As the end of summer approaches, I always begin to look forward to the next big step in my life. Last year, the ‘big step’ was moving away from home. This year, it will be moving away from my home country. I know I won’t be returning for a full year, so lately I’ve been reflecting on how much I’ve learned from growing up by the beach.
隨著夏天的即將結束,我通常開始期待著我生命中下個大的進展。去年,所謂的“大進展”是從家里搬出去。今年,這將是離開我的國家。我知道,我將有整整一年不會回來。所以,最近,我開始回憶我在岸邊長大而教會我的東西。
I mention the beach in a lot of my posts, and I like to use beach pictures for the illustrations because it has played such a massive role in my growing up. Just like any environment would affect anybody’s upbringing, here are some things I’ve learned from spending every spring and summer by the sea.
我在許多帖子里都提到了岸邊,而且,我喜歡用一些岸邊的圖片做插圖。因為它在我的成長中扮演了極為重要的角色。就好像任何一個其他的環境會影響其他人的成長一樣,在這里,通過在海邊度過春天,夏天,我學到了許多。
