欧美人文风情第224篇:跟着抖森关怀儿童教育

 Okay... rolling. Um... one, two, one, two... 好……在拍了。嗯……一、二、一、二……

Hello, everybody! I've just seen an Emergency Lesson video by Yaroslav and Nastya in the Ukraine,  哈萝大家!我刚看了乌克兰的 Yaroslav 和 Nastya 拍的 #EmergencyLesson 影片，

and I think it's amazing. And it's really important as well.  我觉得很棒。而且也很重要。

And I couldn't help noticing that Yaroslav had an Iron Man on his backpack, which I thought was pretty cool.  我忍不住注意到 Yaroslav 的背包上有只钢铁人，我觉得满酷的。

I've got an Iron Man on my backpack, but don't tell anyone. 我自己的背包上也有钢铁人，不过别告诉任何人。

They asked us, as you see, to share our best school photos, so I'm now gonna share my best school photo with you.  他们请我们，如你所见，分享最好看的校园照，所以我现在要来和你们分享我最好看的校园照。

Please try not to make fun of my hair. This is four-year-old Tom... in some very smart stripy trousers,  请试着不要笑我的头发。这是四岁的汤姆……穿着看起来很时尚的条纹裤，

which I may wear again someday. When I was this age, I didn't know I wanted to be an actor.  我哪天搞不好会再穿一次。在这个年纪时，我不知道自己想当演员。

But I was in a school play, and I played Toad¹ in The Wind in the Willows²... so, from that day to this. 不过我有参加学校的戏剧演出，我扮演《柳树间的风声》里的蛤蟆……所以，从那天到现在。

School is so much more than a building, as you know. It's where you meet your friends.  学校不只是一栋建筑，你知道的。学校是你认识朋友的地方。

It's teachers, it's protection, it's stability³, and it's hope.  它是良师、它是庇护、它是稳定，而且它是希望。

And it's where you find out who you are and who you want to be.  而且学校是你发现自我和了解自己想成为谁的地方。

And for children like Yaroslav and Nastya who are living through crisis⁴ and conflict all over the world,  对世界各地像 Yaroslav 和 Nastya 这样正经历动荡不安的孩子来说，

school is as vital as food and medicine. 学校就跟食物和医疗一样重要。

Here's how you can help: The hashtag is Emergency Lessons.  这里是你能帮上忙的方法：主题标签是 #EmergencyLessons。

And you can help us celebrate the importance of school by sharing your favorite school photo...  你可以借由分享你最喜欢的校园照来帮我们宣扬学校的重要性……

with the embarrassing⁵ hair... and sharing this video here. 留着呆呆发型的照片……还有分享这支影片。
