今天帮一个外国朋友回答了一些问题,觉得挺有意义的,分享如下。
- In your city, how do you connect with nature? Do you think it is important to connect with nature? If yes, why?
在你(住)的城市,你是怎么接触大自然的?你觉得接触自然很重要(有必要)吗?如果重要,你的原因是什么?
Yes,I think it is very important to connect with nature, normally I go hiking to connect with the nature. why? because if you always live in the city, it is very easy to feel dumb, especially if you work too long, sometimes you have no idea what is the meaning of life, and sometimes its important to hang out with family ,and connect to the nature is a very good way to enjoy family life.
是的,我觉得与自然接触非常重要,一般我会通过徒步来接触大自然。为什么呢?因为如果你一直生活在城市,整个人会很容易就感觉到木纳呆板。特别是在你工作很长时间后,你有时不知道生活的意义是什么,有时与家人一起出去大自然里玩玩也是很重要的,大自然可以让人放松,与家人玩得也会更开心一些。
- Are there any things you do every day that connect you to nature? Or remind you of nature?
你每天都做的一些习惯/动作中有和自然有关或者让你想到大自然的吗?
Watching the trees, grasses or sky to let myself not forgetting there is something beautiful over there. meditation is a good way too, you might not have so much chance going out , but by doing meditation your mind can feel peaceful and feeling connect to the nature.
看着路边的树,草,天空让自己感受到与自然有关。冥想也是一种好的方法,你可能在上班日没有太多时间出去,但是通过冥想,你会感觉到很平静,去感受身边的一边,进而让自己感受到与自然联结。
3.Are there any countryside traditions that are still done in the city?
你有没有知道/发现一些乡下/农村的传统习俗现在还在城市里出现?
Yes, in my hometown we use to make a special meal for brunch, we cook many different kind of vegetable together and then add some tea over it, it is very healthy, some people think it is strange but we still keep this tradition.
有的,在老家我们会有一种很特别的餐,我们把很多不一样的蔬菜放在一起炒,然后在上面加上一些茶水,这是一种很健康的饮食,有一种可能会觉得这种吃法很奇怪,但这个一直是我们的传统。
4.If you are from the countryside, does anything in the city remind you of the countryside?
如果你是农村出身,城里有没有一些东西让你想起乡下呢?
Sometimes you can hear fire cracker, it is banned in city but dont know why you can still hear it sometimes ,and it remind me of childhood.
有时你可以在深圳听到炮竹声,在城市这个是禁止的,但不知道为什么,有时候你还是可以听到。
5.Tell me your favourite story or experience about being in nature.
请讲述一个你最喜欢的关于身处大自然的故事或经历。
My favorite experience about connecting to the nature happened in kuching, malaysia. we planed to stay there for two days, but it turned out it was the best part of the trip. kuching is not a famous tourist place, but it is amazing there are so many forests over there. we took a boat to a forest and stayed in a very very simple guest house, that was the only guest house in that forest, you have to do a one day hiking to finish the trip. we didnt plan to do any hiking so we didnt have any special clothes for hiking, it was amazing we finished the trip by wearing flipflog . we saw so many different animals , insects in that forest, there are many different kind of trees, butterflies. some parts are really dangerous but we made it. that experience made me feel how amazing nature is and how small human is.
我最喜欢的一段与自己联系的经历发生在马来西亚古晋。我们原计划只是在那里呆两天,但却是旅行中最好玩的两天。古晋不是很出名的旅行点,但是,让人惊讶的是,那里有很多原始森林。我们坐了一条小船去到那片森林,在一个很简陋的房间里睡了一晚,因为我们要花一整天的时间走完这片森林,所以我们需要住一晚。因为一开始是没有计划去徒步的,所以我们什么徒步的装备都没有,让自己感到很自豪的是,我们穿着一双拖鞋完成了整个路程。我们看到了很多不同的动物,昆虫,还有很多不同种类的树,蝴蝶。有一些地方是很危险的,但最终我们还是完成了。这段旅程也让我感受到了自然的伟大。
