留学生简介

Jackey，广东汉子。中国本土学渣一枚，目前就读于澳大利亚国立大学(The Australian National University), 简称ANU.

电台文本：

Hello, everyone! This is Jackey. For these days I joined a camp named ”the focol point ”. 

大家好，我是Jackey 。这几天我参加了一个名叫“Focol Point”的营地活动。

This is the camp about how worship is like for christians（基督徒）. I am not christians, but here am I, I am here for study. 

这主要是一个基督徒做礼拜的营地活动。我不是基督徒，我来这里只是为了学习。

Not quite many non-christians（非基督徒） people went, and at the same time,international students here . 

很少有非基督徒来这里。同时，留学生也不大可能来这里。

Because, yeah, really, I found it hard to study those christianity(基督教教义，基督教精神） ，and the ideas, and something like about theology（神学，宗教体系）. Yes, It’s really hard to catch up. Everything, like lot of things for me is new. 

因为我发现基督徒的教义、想法、还有一些与神学有关的内容真的是非常难学，对我来说很多东西都是陌生的。

I’ll say life is quite similar to the union life,  cause like we got morning session（早会）, evening session, those session is just like lectures（演讲）. And we have seminars（研讨会） and small group chat.  So, I think it’s kind of like, actually inner school studying 

我觉得这里的生活与工会的生活差不多，因为我们这儿会开早会、开晚会。这些会议就像是演讲，而且我们还有专题研讨会和小组讨论。所以，我觉得这有点像校内的学习。

And the place here I am is a cabin site, and we got views all like some bushwalk. There’s actually pretty good views out there. So I would say I enjoy the life for these days. And the camp last for five days , and it’s my third day here. 

我呆的地方是一个小屋，就像丛林冒险一样，屋外有美丽的风景。所以说我非常享受这几天的营地训练，这次的营训持续5天时间，这是我营训的第3天。

So, at the beginning, and the ending of every session, we’ll singing “hymns（赞美诗、圣歌）”, let me tell you what is “hymns”. So“hymns” is the religious songs（宗教歌曲） sang by christians, and mostly in the church（教堂）. 

在会议的开头和结尾，我们都要唱赞美诗，让我告诉你什么是赞美诗。赞美诗就是虔诚的基督徒唱的一种诗歌，通常他们在教堂里面唱。

Although here is not church, it’s cabin site. But, so we sing songs and we have fun and it’s HDA(High Definition Audio), You used to say is a ritual ceremony（仪式性的典礼） in christians meeting, but I would say I enjoy such a thing. So much for today, thank you! Goodbye!  

虽然这里不是教堂，这里是营地小屋。但是我们也唱赞美诗，我们唱得非常开心，那是HDA。你可能会说这是基督徒开会的一种仪式，但是我非常喜欢非常享受这样的事情。好了今天分享到这儿，谢谢大家。再见！
