4月5日(星期五),新成立的中国美术学院国际学生部,在山北生活区迎来了首次活动:绿色星期五——垃圾分类活动。国际教育学院金志林院长和老师们也参加到垃圾分类活动中。留学生们在春日暖阳下,为学校山北生活区的废弃荒地进行“大扫除”,为宿舍区提供一片清爽天地。
On Friday 5th April we held an event called Green Friday. Our first event of newly established International Students Club of China Academy of Art was hold in Shanbei living area. Jin zhilin, Dean of the International College, also attended the activity.She and the teachers of the International College work with international students on garbage sorting.International students enjoyed beautiful weather and helped to clean the garden around their dormitory.
清明节是中国重要的传统节日,有着“万物生长此时,皆清洁而明净,故曰清明”的寓意。这也是此活动和清明节联系在一起的原因。在老师和同学的用心付出下,收集的垃圾总重量达308公斤。
Qingming Festival is important in China, when spring is coming, nature is fresh and clear. That was also the reason for connection of our event with this holiday. Our students and teachers collected the garbage around the garden with total weight of 308kg.
国际学生们将收集的垃圾进行分类,还发现了一些有价值的材料,可以用于自己的艺术创作中。我们的“绿色艺术家”小组也身着独特的“垃圾服装”在“绿色星期五”活动中展示,宣传环保精神。
Later few of our students sorted the trash and found a very rich material what they will use for their art projects and exhibitions. Group of our Green Artists already showed up wearing unique trash costumes during our Green Friday event.
正如老师所强调的,清明节也是春天里的第五个节气,标志着大地进一步回暖,草长莺飞。在活动结束时,国际学生们种下一棵树,是绿色环保精神的象征,也是国际学生部成立的标致,寄托着和学校一同成长的美好祝愿。
As our teacher highlighted, Qingming Festival is fifth of the Chinese lunar term, the flowers blossom and the nature is turning green. At the end of our activity we planted a tree as a symbol of green sprit and a symbol of just established International students club of China Academy of Art.
希望能让更多的人关注环境问题,共同创造绿色杭州。不论我们来自何方,每一次互相帮助的小小努力都是重要的。即使是小小的一步,也有大大价值。
We hope we can inspire more people to be aware of environmental issues and keep Hangzhou more green and clean. Every small effort to help each other is important and doesn't matter in what country you just live now.
希望大家能从源头开始,减少自己制造的垃圾,比如购物时可以自备购物袋、自带水瓶饮水、减少外卖、不浪费食物、节约用水用电等等,享受大自然的馈赠。
Even just small steps count. Collecting the garbage is great, but reducing your own trash is even better. Next time you go shopping try to bring your own bag, use your bottle for drinks or order less waimai and don't waste the food, save the water and the electricity. Enjoy more nature around with your friends and family.
非常感谢国际教育学院的支持和老师们在活动期间给予的帮助。国际学生部将持续开展系列活动,继续宣扬绿色环保精神,期待你的加入。
We are grateful for support of our international office and help of our teachers during the activity. We believe in such a great vigor during all our events in the future.
