我们的实习故事（二）/Story of our internship(2)

                                     Angela's story

千里迢迢来到印度,从未想过自己会有怎样的改变,或者怎样去改变他人.我们住在一个达尔瓦德所谓城市的中心区域.这个城市,中间是一条贯穿的高速公路,其实也不过是一条一来一去两车道的马路.娱乐和休闲毫无去处,沿街是些小卖部和零星的超市,但是银行却是不少.我一直有个疑问,这里莫不是农村吧!?每天两点一线的乘大巴来往于工作地点和住宿地方之间.生活乏味无趣.

Far away from my country, I haven’t thought I whether I could change myself or not, or change others. We live in Dharward’s city centre. This is a city which only have a highway road cross. There is no entertainment, only can find some shops and banks. I think it as a country side. Everyday we go to work and back to the homestay, bored and pale.

有一个机会,我们跟随NGO的工作人员去参观一个不远的村庄学校.去到那里,满眼的绿色和红色的土地构成了鲜明对比.大多是妇女儿童老人在村子里,房屋错落在有些崎岖的路边.在一处高地上,是一所学校.一溜平房,是教室,教室门前是一大片光秃的空地.小孩子在空地上戏耍,围墙边有几棵大树啊.

One day we have a chance to visit a village school. There, green tree and red earth makes a shock eyes. Women, children and the olds stay in the village. We arrived the school, it’s not big. There’s a playground in front of the classroom and children play on it.

当我们下车,小孩子都既生怯又好奇的围了上来.渐渐的,越来越多.麦色偏黑的皮肤,乌黑略蜷的头发,大眼睛,是我对他们一致的印象.面庞都很相似,印在脑海里很模糊.只有一张张大大的笑脸才让人印象深刻.他们都不懂英语,但热切希望和我们说上话.能交流的只有那几句,你叫什么名字?你从哪里来?之类的.令我们好奇的是他们在这么闭塞的地方,竟然知道Jacky Chen和李小龙!!!哈哈!真让我们意外.

When we got off the car, children crowed with great curiosity and more and more children came to us. Brown skin, black hair, big eyes, it’s my impression. Everything is the same but big smile made a deep memory. They both don’t speak English, but they eager to talk with us. We can communicate with each other only with few sentences like what’s your name and where are you from. To our surprise, they know Jacky Chen and KengFu!!! How can they know that!?

当我们拿出相机,他们更是一阵骚动,争相挤到我们面前来让我们拍照.拘谨的姿势,灿烂的笑脸,尽其所能的想让相机记录下他们的身影.这很让我们感动.他们或许一辈子都会呆在这片土地上,或许我们是他们一辈子所见过仅有的几个外国人之一,或许见到我们后他们了解了世界之大,还有其他不同的人们生活在不同的地方.或许我们让他们的世界观人生观产生了一些新的看法.不管如何,我们总是改变了一点点,一点点的改变虽然不多,但终究是改变了.

After they saw our camera, they are excited. They really show their longing to take a photo. We are so moving, for their sincere. Maybe they will stay here for whole life, maybe we are the few foreigners they have seen, and maybe after seeing us let them know the great world, let them know that there are many different countries people living in the same world. Maybe we made their have new ideas about the world and life. Whatever, even we can change little, but we actually make a change.

在Akshaya Patra将近一个月的时间里,我们也曾质疑过此行的意义,也曾抱怨过工作的重复性,也曾哀叹过没有娱乐的生活.但是到了最后,我想我们还是找到了属于这次旅程的意义所在.世界因我们而改变,哪怕是小小的博客,哪怕是那仅有的一瞥,哪怕是480小时的存在.

In the month, I have doubted the meaning about this summer, I have complained the boring job, I have felt sad about everyday is the same’ s life. However, in the end, I think we find the truth that why we are in India this summer. The world is changed by us, even is a small blog on the internet, even is some quick glance, even is only 480 hours stay.
