"They were amazingly warm, intelligent, humorous people. Hard to teach English. I built a blackboard, which no other previous teachers seem to have done. With 12 monks in a room with an age-range of about 8 to 40, that's quite important — and the reward-punishment thing of sweets or no sweets, or game or no game, worked quite well."
“当地人都很热情、聪明、幽默。但是教英语很难。我制作了一个黑板,之前的老师好像都没做过。课上有12个喇嘛,年龄8-40岁不等,这很重要。还有奖惩措施,发不发糖果,允不允许玩游戏,这一招相当管用。”
"But they taught me a lot more than I could possibly ever teach them. They taught me about the simplicity of human nature, but also the humanity of it, and the ridiculous sense of humor you need to live a full spiritual life."
“不过他们教会我的东西比我教给他们的东西多多了。他们让我领悟了人性的至简和仁慈,还让我领略了精神生活中所需要的幽默感。”
间隔年不是目的,它不是用来逃避现实的万灵药。
不确定自己是否要考研或工作的时候,试着把间隔年作为一个手段。
通过学习课堂和职场都教不了的知识,或许你可以把未来的路走得更坚定。
