address on the summer camp closing ceremony夏令营终结式演讲中英文版.doc

Respected Dr. Mao, Mr. Qian, beloved American fellow teachers, ladies and gentlemen: I’m greatly honored to be here on behalf of all the Chinese teachers of this Summer Camp to address the closing ceremony. 尊敬的毛博士、钱校长，亲爱的美国同仁们，女士们，先生们： 十分荣幸能作为本次夏令营的老师代表在此发言。 With the help and support of everybody here, the 2012 Sino-US Summer Camp is coming to an end. So today tonight at this very moment, I’d like to give my thanks, congratulations and best wishes to you all. 在各位的帮助和支持下，2012年中美夏令营即将闭营。所以，今天，今晚，此时此刻，我想给大家送上我的感激、祝贺和祝福。 Thank you, beloved American teachers, for your patience, devotion and perseverance. You left your family, flew across the Pacific, landed in China, and taught at this school. You sacrificed a lot, but materially got nothing. You all worked crowdedly in the small workroom but you worked out the terrific teaching plans and fabulous interactive activity arrangements. You have no textbooks, which means, on the one hand, you can teach whatever you want, but on the other hand, you have to reach your students, you have to find the information gap, you have to teach what they are interested in but still not clear about. To accomplish all these is no easy work, but you made it! You made it with your patience, your devotion your perseverance and, foremost, your professional teaching wits. Thank you again! 谢谢你们，美国的同仁们。 谢谢你们的耐心，奉献和坚持。 你们离开家乡，远渡重洋，来到中国，来到了这所学校。你们做出了很多牺牲，但在物质上并没有收获太多。你们工作室虽小而拥挤，但你们却在那里设计出了极好的教案和极妙的互动活动。你们没有教材，这一方面意味着你们可以教授任何你想教得东西，同时，另一方面也要求你们必须了解学生，必须找出信息差，必须教授那些他们想知而未知的东西。去完成这一切并非易事，但是你们做到了！你们凭自己的耐心、自己的奉献、自己的坚持和自己专业的教学机智做到了这一切。再次感谢你们！ Thank you, my dear students, for your attendance, for your cooperation and for your motivation to learn. Not every student would like to abandon the summer holiday and stay at school to be regulated and disciplined when they could have stayed at home, wandered in the street, or played their favorite games, but you resisted all these temptations and joined the camp without hesitation. Thank you, my dear students,
