告别城市的喧嚣,燎原国际课程班的5位同学,背上行囊,离开每天生活的校园,在10月的一个周末,踏上一场为期3天2夜的未知旅途。环湖徒步、露营野外、深入田间、与自然相融......
Saying goodbye to the hustle and bustle of the city, five students from the LYBS English Division packed their bags and left the campus where they live every day to embark on a three-day, two-night journey into the unknown one weekend in October. Hiking around the lake, camping in the wilderness, going into the fields and being in tune with nature ......
出发,是开启旅途最朴实的意义,去探索更多的可能,寻找更广阔的自我。
Setting off is the simplest way to start a journey, to explore more possibilities and to find a broader self.
没有了电脑和手机,我们呼吸着清新的空气,我们与大自然相拥。——Flora
大自然里没有噪音,没有污染,我们能听到蟋蟀低吟,还可以仰望星空。——Eric
路过农田,我了解到农作物品种和动物作息习惯。——Ethan
没日没夜被爆炸般的信息包裹,充斥着电子屏和逼仄空间的赛博朋克,什么时候我们已经离开自然越来越远?在消费中寻找快乐,却迎来更多的空虚难以消解?
少年们在旷野中感受风和植物的互相追逐,伴随田间虫鸣、泥土芬芳入睡和苏醒,用漫长的步行去放空去沉淀,在学习野外生存技能中感受生命的连接、团队的意义。这是爱丁堡公爵国际奖项目的初衷,去激发青少年不断挑战探索,找到勇气和责任。
The teenagers feel the wind and the plants chasing each other through the wilderness, fall asleep and wake up to the sound of insects in the fields and the fragrance of the earth, spend long walks to let go and settle down, feel the connection of life and the meaning of teamwork as they learn wilderness survival skills. This is the original aim of the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award programme, to inspire young people to keep challenging themselves to explore and find courage and responsibility.

Preparation
准备
第一天同学们学习阅读地图、使用指南针以及一些基本的安全知识,同时还要懂得如何正确地使用和打包装备。我们花了一整天学习和练习一些团队的技能,并一起为周六和周日的户外徒步做了周详的计划。
The first day consisted of learning how to read maps, use a compass, some fundamental safety knowledge, as well as how to properly use and pack all the gear brought. Students had a chance to buy any last minute food supplies. We spent the day learning and practicing our skills as a team under a small pavilion right on the shore of a body of water. While practicing using a compass, the participants also discussed how long they would hike, rest, prepare food, and eat, so we had a detailed plan Saturday and Sunday.

Independent Cooperation
独立 合作
在徒步过程中,教练和我确保与同学们保持距离,他们得确保自己独立完成了所有确定的具有挑战性的任务。
During the hike, the coach and I made sure to keep our distance from the participants so that when everything was said and done, they'd be sure that they completed this challenging endeavour on their own.
Ethan Hu非常有绅士风度,他在午饭后帮助女孩们把帐篷扛了几公里。每当有车从前面或后面靠近我们时,Sylvia Gao都会大声叫喊,负责确保每个人都安全地在路边徒步旅行。每个人都轮流用指南针和地图把我们从a点带到b点,但Ethan的方向感总是派上用场。午饭后步行约3小时后,我们到达营地休息,学生们开始做晚饭。我必须说,我对他们的烹饪技艺感到非常惊讶。猪肉面条看起来像可以在餐馆里吃到。然而,不能排除我和学生们一起徒步旅行13公里后感到疲倦和饥饿才觉得它如此美味吧。
Ethan Hu was very gentlemanly as he helped the girls carry their tent for a few kilometers after lunch. Some of our hike was one roads with a few cars passing by, and Sylvia took it upon herself to make sure everyone was safely hiking on the side of the road and called out whenever a car approached us from in front or behind. Everyone took turns using the compass and the map to get us from point a to point b, and students worked together to verify that we were stuck to our planned route. Ethan's strong send of direction came in particularly handy more than once. After walking for about 3 hours after lunch we arrived at our campsite, took a rest, and the students started cooking their dinners. I must say I was quite surprised by the culinary prowess. There braised pork noodles look like they could be served in a restaurant. I, however, cannot rule out the possibility that I was simply tired and hungry as well after hiking 13k with the students.
第二天,同学们在黎明时分醒来,收拾好帐篷,做早餐,开始第二天的徒步旅行。令我惊讶的是,同学们以饱满的精气神火速出发,结果午饭前我们就完成了大约10公里的徒步旅行。第二天全天,同学们继续表现出强大的韧性、团队精神和关爱,帮助对方扛物品,并在需要时给予彼此莫大的鼓励。
On the second day we woke at the break of dawn, packed up our tents, make breakfast, and set out on our second day of hiking. Much to my surprise, the participants set out at a feverish pace for the morning, allowing us to complete about 10 kilometers of our hike before lunch time. Throughout the second day, our group continued to display strong resilience, teamwork and compassion helping each other carry things as well as giving positive encouragement when needed.

Adventure
远离温室的冒险之旅
我身负20斤的行囊,两天徒步26.33公里,体验着一场远离温室的冒险之旅。这是我第一次搭帐篷,第一次负重前行,第一次睡在“野外”,第一次学会用地图,第一次使用指南针。
——Flora
这是我参加的第一次露营活动,它锻炼了我的意志,让我第一次感受到了野外徒步的艰苦。
——Ella
第一次知道整理背包是有顺序的。

Fly up
我感觉我的身心都飞起来了
出发就要走13公里到达第一个目的地露营,每天6个小时的户外探索,3小时必须在徒步行走,我感觉自己的身体正在经历前所未有的煎熬,负重前行,不仅要时刻忍受背包对自己髋骨的问候,还要强忍脚指甲扣进了肉里,2天近30公里,我的身心都已经飞起来了。
——Eric

Team spirit
我们是一个团队
能够坚持到最后,身边的同伴至关重要。同学们为了同一个目标而努力。在出发前,他们就计划好每个人的任务,各司其职。途中他们互相鼓励,共同坚持。
团队里年龄最大的Ethan自告奋勇担当起了厨师身份。他很享受在河边吃午饭的感觉,尤其是带着微风,同时也十分享受野外做饭的乐趣。
一路上没有无尽的沉默,取而代之的是与朋友之间的调侃声和轻声询问的相互帮衬。这一次旅程中听到最多便是“你累不累,要不我来拿一会吧”,“大家是不是累了,那我们休息一会”。正因为我们是一个有着超强耐力与合作能力的团队,我们成为了第一个在那条徒步路线上,因为行动能力太快而需要绕路多走一些的团队。

Breakthrough
前行 每一步都是突破
他意识到,他也可以像风一样自由。什么也不能阻止他,除了他自己。羊群、商人的女儿和安达卢西亚的大地,只不过是他在达成天命的途中留下的足迹。
——《牧羊少年奇幻之旅》
前行,每一步是挑战,每一步是成长,每一步是突破。少年们用他们的坚毅、自信、团队精神,完成了这一次冒险和挑战。在他们浩瀚的生命长河中,只要怀揣着勇气,就一定能到达心中的彼岸。
