盼望著盼望著，春天來了~隨著國內抗疫取得階段性勝利，部分省市的小夥伴們已經做好了返校上學的準備。然而全球的抗疫形勢依然不容樂觀。外國小朋友們，你是否有許多小問號？面對疫情，你們可以做什麼？
第18屆「21世紀杯」小低組上海選拔區冠軍，9歲的彭俊霖小朋友有話對你們說！
The rainbow at the end of the storm 風雨過後總會有彩虹
「Daddy, it’s so boring at home. Can’t I go and play outside?」
「爸爸，家裡太無聊了。我不能出去玩嗎？」
「No, you can’t. There’s a virus out there that can hurt you, it’s best to stay inside.」
「不行，外面有一種新病毒會讓你生病，你得呆在家裡。」
I haven’t been out since the end of January because of that horrible thing they call the new coronavirus. But the good thing is that all us Chinese have united to fight the virus.
從一月底開始我就沒出過家門，就是因為有一種叫做為新冠狀病毒的可怕東西。但好在我們所有中國人都團結起來抗擊病毒。
Many brave men and women are fighting it. Many angels in white immediately gave up their holidays and said, 「Let’s go to Wuhan to help.」 There’s a very old man among them. His name is Zhong Nanshan. He’s 84 years old, but he’s still there fighting the virus. Many other doctors and nurses are fighting to protect us. They’re all in great danger, but they say things like 「We do not fear death and are happy to pay the price to help others.」 That makes me cry. They’re all the truest heroes.
很多勇敢的人在與病毒戰鬥。白衣天使們結束了假期，他們說：「我們去援助武漢吧。」他們當中有一個年紀很大的爺爺，他叫鍾南山，今年84歲了，但他仍然去了武漢抗擊病毒。還有很多很多的醫生和護士也在努力保護我們。他們都面臨很大的危險，但是卻說「不計報酬，無論生死。」聽到他們的話我哭了。他們都是真正的英雄。
Thanks to them and many others it looks like things are getting better and better in China. But now many other countries are suffering, and that makes me sad, too.
多虧有許許多多這樣的人，中國的情況已經好轉了很多。但其他許多國家正深受疫情之苦，這也讓我很難過。
Here’s something I want to tell children in other countries: Make sure you don’t catch the coronavirus. And stay inside even if you would like to go outside. That will keep you safe. If you do go outside, always wear a mask. Don’t touch your eyes, nose, mouth or ears. When you get back inside, carefully take off your mask, coat and shoes. Here’s one of the most important things: Wash your hands and face straight away, and make sure you do it very well.
我想對其他國家的小朋友們說：保護自己，不要感染病毒。雖然你想出去，但是要呆在家裡面，家裡比較安全。如果你必須要出去門，一定要戴口罩。不要碰你的眼睛、嘴、鼻子或耳朵。當你回到家時，小心地脫下你的口罩，外套和鞋子。還有一件最重要的事情：立即洗手和洗臉，一定要洗得非常認真，非常乾淨。
Carry on with your hobbies and interests and try to get exercise.
這段時間你可以做你感興趣的事，還有努力鍛鍊身體。
This virus really is mean and nasty and can spread quickly. But we won’t let it beat us. After all, the Earth is our home, one that belongs to all of us, and I know that many other children around the world will follow scientists』 instructions and stay at home.
這種病毒真的很狡猾，而且傳播速度很快。但我們不會被它打敗的。地球是我們的家，是屬於我們所有人的家園，相信其他國家的小朋友們都會聽從科學家的指示，待在家裡。
China is a very big and old country, and over thousands of years we faced many problems. Fighting the virus is another one of those. Other countries will fight the virus, too, and together we will win.
中國是一個非常古老的大國，幾千年來我們遇到過許多難題。對抗病毒是其中一個。現在全世界都在與病毒作鬥爭，我們一定會取得勝利。
When it’s all over we』ll be able to enjoy the rainbow that follows a very bad storm.
當一切都結束了，我們就能欣賞到暴風雨過後的彩虹。
