Departure出发
It was the day of departure! I stepped on board with a weary but glorious soul.
那天是出发的日子!我带着疲惫而愉悦的灵魂踏上了旅途。
Currier house
I felt extremely lucky that I got to live in currier with other students in Harvard University. The centre of the dining hall was still under construction. Nevertheless, this part did not harm the appearance of the dining hall at all. Instead, it dissolved and became a part of it, giving people a sense of ages and beauty.
我很幸运的和其他一些同学一起住在哈佛大学的Currier house。食堂的中心仍在建设中，然而，这并没有损坏餐厅的外观。相反，它溶入其中成为了食堂的一部分，给人一种年代感和美感。
A recreational area was also included in this house which provided students with an opportunity to chat and wind down themselves after the intensive courses they have gone through during the day and night time.
这所房子还包括一个娱乐区, 让学生在经过一整天的高强度课程后可以聊聊天放松一下。
Every student was assigned to a room respectively. It was a dedicated and elaborate tiny room. Yet the facilities were unmistakably complete: a table for study, a two-door cabinet, a bed, a fan and a lamp. Truth be told, this was the first time I feel free and independent. “This is my room now” I whispered, “I can do anything I want here with no roommates and nobody else!”
每个学生都单独分到一个房间。这是一个专用的精致小房间，然而,麻雀虽小肝胆俱全:一张书桌,一个两门柜,一张床,一扇风扇和一盏灯。说实话,这是我第一次感到自由和独立。“这是我的房间了”,我低语到，“我可以在这里做任何我想做的,没有室友,没有其他人!”
However, the reality which hid behind the haze was totally different and cruel.
然而,隐藏在迷雾背后的“残酷”现实却跟我想象中的完全不同。
Courses课程
As the supposed most vital part of this camp, the intensity of the courses was far more than I could have never imagined! The following was the course arrangement of a typical day.
作为这个营地中最重要的部分,课程的强度远超我想象!以下是一天的课程安排。
From 8:30 in the morning to 9:00 at night.
上午8:30到晚上9:00
We had lectures almost every day and it was mainly there to help us learn more skills of debate from some specific angles such as environment and gender.
我们几乎每天都有讲座,主要是为了帮助我们从一些特定的角度来学习更多的辩论技巧，比如环境和性别等。
There were also several skills sessions which taught us about some skills within the round. For instance: the Crossfire Skills on the picture was a lecture to teach us how to ask a question in the crossfire and it was honestly very beneficial as I usually just brought out all my staff during the crossfire. However, I learned from the lecture that we should keep our argument until our summary or rebuttal speech.
还有一些技能课程,教我们一些辩论中可以使用的技能。例如:图片上的“Crossfire Skills”是一个教我们如何在辩论双方‘交火’时提问的讲座，这是非常有益的,因为我通常都会在交火期间讲出我所有的观点。但我从讲座中了解到,我们应该在总结或反驳发言时再带出我们的论据。
People那些人
The people I met here actually became the most unforgettable memory I had at Harvard. There were students from 17 countries in this camp，and Chinese students were only 1/9 of the total population. It was the first time in my experience that Chinese people are no longer the majority. Nonetheless, although there were few people from China, those who came here were absolutely the most excellent people that I have never met.
在哈佛遇到的人是我在那最难忘的记忆。这个营地有来自17个国家的学生,中国学生只占总人数的1/9。在我的体验中, 这是第一次中国人不再占大多数。尽管如此,虽然中国人很少,但来到这里的人绝对是我从未见过的最杰出的人。
Most of them came from the developed cities in China like Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Shenzhen. My partner was a junior 2 student from Beijing who already got 91 in TOEFL. And there was a 13-year-old boy who got 119 in TOEFL! There was also a girl who ranks the 10th at NSDA China region.
他们大部分来自北京、上海、南京、杭州和深圳等中国发达城市。我的搭档是一个北京的初二年级学生,托福已经考了91分。有一个13岁的男孩托福考了119 分! 还有一个女孩在NSDA中国区得了第10名。
I felt such fortunate that I could have a chance to know them. Yet their excellence also reminded me how far is the gap between them and me and how much more advanced is the education in eastern China compared to inland regions. Chengdu is a bright star, but it still needs more fierce fire to light it up and so do I.
有机会认识他们我感到很幸运。但是他们的优秀也提醒了我, 我和他们的差距有多大,华东地区的教育与内陆地区相比有多先进。成都是一颗明亮的星星,但它仍然需要更猛烈的火来点燃它,我也是如此。

FREE DAY自由活动日
Boston is a magical city. As the capital of Massachusetts, it does not have the intensive skyscrapers as in New York but the cars on the street are just like other big cities, endless and busy.
波士顿是一个神奇的城市。作为马萨诸塞州的首都,它没有像纽约那么密集的摩天大楼,但街上的汽车就像其他大城市一样,无休止地忙碌着。
