【英语学习】 第36天翻译练习之他乡的挑战

Practice 378

我一开始觉得因为语言相通所以，在伦敦生活会轻松一些，但其实也是有很多的挑战。有一次有位助教对我没搞清楚作业是什么很不满，当着另一个同学的面训斥了我。我记得我后来回到宿舍，因为我自己的愚蠢大哭一场，当然我现在知道了当时身处陌生而艰难的环境遭遇困难，不能很容易的理解所有的事情也属正常。但即便有这样的遭遇，我不后悔伦敦之行。磨难使人成长。

My : At first I thought life in London would be easier because of the language, but there were a lot of challenges actually. Once, a teaching assistant was so upset that I didn't know the contents of my homework and he scolded me in front of another student. I remember going back to the dormitory and crying because of my own stupidity. Of course, I know now that I was in a strange and difficult environment and encountered difficulties. It was normal not to understand everything easily. But even so, I don't regret my trip to London. Suffering makes one grow.

Teacher's : I thought it would be easier because I spoke the language, but there were challenges,too. Once, a teaching assistant who did not take kindly to my misunderstanding of an assignment berated me in front of a fellow student. I remember going back to my
student house and crying afterwards for being so stupid. Of course, I know now that I was thrown into the deep end, in a completely different and far more challenging environment, and it was natural that I wouldn't understand everything easily. Despite this, I don't regret anything about my time in London. Even through painful experience, we learn to grow.
