探访落日不列颠——伦敦唐人街

三明二中黄逸飞

研学第十二天。今早我们要去唐人街走走，了解一下伦敦的中国城是怎么样的风情，这也是我们为数不多的能在异国他乡体验到中华民族风情的地方。

The twelfth day of study. This morning we're going to Chinatown to find out what the Chinese city in London is like. This is one of the few places where we can experience the Chinese culture in a foreign country.

唐人街在威斯敏斯特市的蘇活区，这里面有些中餐馆、中国商品店和纪念品店。除了聚居的中国人，这里还有少量的新加坡人，马来西亚人，韩国人和日本人。

Chinatown is in Suhuo District, Westminster. There are some Chinese restaurants, Chinese merchandise stores and souvenir stores. In addition to the Chinese living in the community, there are a small number of Singaporeans, Malaysians, Koreans and Japanese.

伦敦唐人街已经有200多年的历史了，它的三个主要入口处有“伦敦华埠”“国泰民安”“风调雨顺”等字样的牌匾，包含有中国特色的门，颇具民族特色，这也是唐人街一道靓丽的风景。

London Chinatown has a history of more than 200 years. Its three main entrances are plaques with the words "London Chinatown", "Cathay Peace", "Fair weather" and so on. They contain doors with Chinese characteristics and have national characteristics. This is also a beautiful scenery of Chinatown.

这里有许多的中餐馆，里面的装修、陈设与国内的十分相似，让人顿生亲切之感，只是我们来的比较早，这里都还没开门，不然进去吃一碗，和老板聊聊天应该也挺不错的。

There are many Chinese restaurants here. The decoration and furnishings inside are very similar to those in China. It makes people feel intimate. But we came earlier. We haven't opened the door yet. Otherwise, it would be nice to go in and have a bowl of food and talk with our boss.

除了中餐馆，我还偶然遇见了一家日式餐厅。

In addition to the Chinese restaurant, I happened to meet a Japanese restaurant.

在唐人街转了转，发现周围的建筑与英国本土的建筑其实差别不是很大，那些具有民族特色的建筑集中分布的范围并不是很大，走了半个多小时就差不多逛完了。

Turning around Chinatown, I found that the surrounding buildings were not very different from those of the British mainland. The concentrated distribution of those buildings with national characteristics was not very large. After walking for more than half an hour, I almost finished my stroll.

闲逛的时候，拐个弯，发现这里有一栋有哈利波特标志的楼，但是很遗憾并不知道它的具体信息。

When I was wandering around, I turned around and found a building with Harry Potter's logo, but unfortunately I didn't know the details of it.

来时比较早，正巧碰见了一排商铺都在进货，门前货物排出一列长龙。不知道为什么，前来卸货的人竟寥寥无几，面对这么多的货物，幸好天气并不燥热，这也是对工人的一点安慰吧。

It happened that a row of shops were in stock and a long line of goods were discharged in front of the door. I don't know why so few people come to unload the goods. Fortunately, the weather is not hot and dry. This is also a little comfort for the workers.

走着走着，在一个小巷里，我闻到一股恶臭，走进一看，五六个垃圾桶，一摊脏水，这里应该是处理或是存放垃圾的地方了。左侧应该是一些餐饮店的后侧，排放废物。一位坐在地上的大哥正专注地整理废物，在这种臭气熏天的环境下做事，一定有着超出常人的忍耐力，着实令人佩服。

Walking along, in an alley, I smelled a stench. When I walked in, I saw five or six garbage cans, a dirty water, which should be the place to dispose of or store garbage. The left side should be the back of some restaurants, discharging waste. A big brother sitting on the ground is concentrating on cleaning up the waste. It is admirable that he must have more endurance than ordinary people to do things in such a smelly environment.

在街上，同样能见到肮脏的角落，还是在离一个入口不远处的地方，可能是因为人不多的缘故吧，等到店铺开张，这些应该都会清理干净，谁会想自家门口有一股恶臭气味呢？在我心中的唐人街应该是繁华的、干净整洁的，而不是这样时不时有一股酸臭味，心里还是有些小失落。

也许每个繁华的城市背面，悲苦与贫穷，肮脏阴暗的角落都会存在，也许这些"废墟"问题，并不能被全部解决。

In the street, you can also see dirty corners, or not far from an entrance, maybe because there are not many people. When the shop opens, these should be cleaned up. Who would think there is a stench in their doorway? In my mind, Chinatown should be prosperous, clean and tidy, rather than so from time to time there is a sour smell, my heart is still a little lost.

Perhaps every prosperous city, the back, misery and poverty, dirty and dark corner will exist, perhaps these "ruins" problem, can not be completely solved.

临走时还路过了一所小教堂，不知道是不是主要供华人信教者做仪式的。即是是在一个幽静，有些偏僻的地方，教堂的庄严也丝毫不减，建筑依然透露着古典的气息。教堂附近绿意盎然，有居民在此小野餐、聊天，教堂顶每隔一段时间固定传来清亮的钟声，悠远、肃穆。

Before leaving, I passed a small church, wondering if it was mainly for Chinese believers to perform ceremonies. Even in a quiet, somewhat remote place, the solemnity of the church remains unchanged, and the architecture still reveals the classical atmosphere. The church is surrounded by green, with residents having picnics and chatting here. There are clear bells on the top of the church at regular intervals, which are remote and solemn.

两小时自由活动结束，我们返回学校。

After two hours of free activities, we returned to school.

午餐

Lunch

下午，我们就要进行我们的最后一堂课了，今天上的内容是航天。和往常一样的设置情景，引入课程。我觉得之所以这里的课堂更为放松，与课程容量也有一定关系，国内的容量大，学生需要快速吸收，气氛自然更紧张些。

离下课还有半小时，我们一起玩了两把 kahoot，因为我们要离开了，老师便出了中国题。最后十分钟，老师让我们与周围同学多交流交流，可以拍些合照，留以纪念。为了迎合气氛，老师放了一首表达离别的中文歌，同学们也和国际生互赠礼物。很感谢老师的教学，让我们也体会到中英教育的不同，感受到课堂的快乐。大家也送给老师自己带的礼物，礼物不贵重，但代表了自己的心意，对老师的一份感谢，回忆。老师也期待与同学们的再次相遇。能在这个年纪就到国际研学，这也是我们的幸运，相遇不久，希望以后还能再次相见。后会有期！

In the afternoon, we are going to have our last lesson. Today's topic is space flight. Set up scenarios and introduce courses as usual. I think the reason why the classroom here is more relaxed is also related to the capacity of the curriculum. The domestic capacity is large, students need to absorb quickly, and the atmosphere is naturally more tense.

Half an hour before class was over, we played two kahoots together, because we were leaving, and the teacher came up with a Chinese question. In the last ten minutes, the teacher asked us to communicate with the students around us. We could take some pictures to commemorate it. In order to cater to the atmosphere, the teacher put on a Chinese song expressing parting. The students also gave gifts to each other with international students. Thank you very much for the teacher's teaching, let us also experience the difference between Chinese and English education, feel the joy of the classroom. Everyone also gave the teacher their own gifts, gifts are not valuable, but on behalf of their own mind, a thank-you to the teacher, memories. Teachers also look forward to meeting their classmates again. It is also our luck to be able to study internationally at this age. We will meet soon and hope to see each other again in the future. See you around!

晚餐。

Dinner

今天恰好也是我的16岁生日，我没有告知其他人，想像往常一样度过这一天，结果没想到老师和同学们为我精心准备了一场小型的生日会！(惊讶而感动！)

Today is also my 16th birthday. I didn't tell anybody else to spend the day as usual. As a result, I didn't expect that the teachers and classmates carefully prepared a small birthday party for me. (Surprised and moved! )

英伦风蛋糕（这个蛋糕也是老师跑了很多路才找到的店铺，选好的蛋糕）。非常感谢老师的用心准备。

British wind cake (this cake is also the shop that the teacher ran a lot of way to find, the selected cake). Thank you very much for your preparation.

关灯，点蜡烛。生日歌，许愿。异国他乡的生日，显得格外特别和温暖。

Turn off the lights and light the candles. Birthday song, wish. Foreign birthdays are especially special and warm.

今天还有几位学业有成，在英国留学的校友们以及一位美女硕士来给同学们答疑解惑，同为二中学子，此刻，大家跨越空间的经纬度，相聚在伦敦，听着他们讲述自己的留学生活以及对英国的看法，又有了一些新的收获！临走前，大家也很热情地互留了联系方式。

Today, there are a few successful students. Alumni and a beautiful master's degree students studying in Britain come to answer questions and puzzles for their classmates. They are all students of No. 2 Middle School. At this moment, they are gathered in London across the latitude and longitude of space, listening to their stories about their study abroad life and their views on Britain, and have some new gains! Before leaving, we also enthusiastically left contact information with each other.
