美联英语提供：育人比育才更重要，探秘牛津国际公学 煞费苦心的“探险” A Challenging “Expedition” 这是一次令人期待的探险活动，50多名学生在4个老师的陪同下一起出发去位于理县的羌族聚居区的孟屯河谷，这也是爱登堡公爵奖的参赛项目之一。什么是爱登堡公爵奖？就是一项极具声望的国际认可的奖项，也是世界范围内多所大学作为学生入学评估时的重要参考成绩。 The expedition is an exciting one. More than 50 students, accompanied by four teachers, will set out for Mengtun River Valley, located in the compact Qiang ethnic minority community of Lixian County. The activity is one of a series of activities for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. What is the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award? The DoEA, as it is known, is a prestigious and internationally accredited award that is considered by many universities around the world when evaluating the achievements of potential students. 学生们需要在这两天一夜的远征中，携带精良的露营装备和野炊工具，且在负重的情况下徒步行走十几公里。面对大自然的考验，学生们需要从容应对。如何搭帐篷？如何生火？如何做饭？如何应对不安全因素的侵扰？这些对于城市里长大的孩子来说，太过于新奇与困难。这样的活动或许比让孩子们每天在学校埋头苦读，应对各项考试来得更为实际。 During the two-day trip, the students will carry sophisticated camping and cooking equipment and hike for more than 10 kilometers.

For children growing up in cities, these are new and difficult questions. But this kind of activity is perhaps much more of a practical test than the ones students normally study for, day after day buried under their books at school. 这只是牛津国际公学成都学校课外活动的一部分。 This trip is only one of a series of extracurricular activities organized by the Oxford International College of Chengdu. 彭校长说：“这样的活动，旨在锻炼培养孩子的团队合作意识，及坚韧不拔、吃苦耐劳的精神，也是学校为所有在校学生开启顶尖大学的大门而做出的努力。” Principal Peng says, “We organize these activities to foster teamwork skills, perseverance, and the ability to endure hardship, as well as to provide a way for students to get into the world’s top universities.” “哈利波特”里的舍监来了 Harry Potter’s Housemaster 作为一部最受学生欢迎，最出名的英国电影，《哈利波特》被赋予了浓厚的英国特色，其中就有“舍监”这一角色。在成都，也有这样一群“舍监”，他们在学校团队成员的协助下，时刻监督学生们的生活作息，严格控制“熄灯”时间以保证学生拥有足够
