「我雖然考過了好些會計資格證,比如ACCA和CMA,被kaplan評為中國大陸地區的優秀教師。」伴隨驚呼他緩緩地說道,「但我其實是學IT出身的,我也是個PhD。」同學們被嚇得滾到了地上。
「我喜歡在我的農場裡享受自然的樂趣。」伴隨驚呼他緩緩地說道,「我的公司是IT公司,但是我也很喜歡教書,我喜歡在這種截然不同的生活之中切換。」 同學們被嚇得鑽到了地下。
「我雅思8.5。」伴隨驚呼他緩緩地說道,「我的妻子雅思9分,她也是一個PhD。」同學們被嚇得趕緊膜拜起他。【來自同學們的番外:師母大人長得很漂亮喲\(^o^)/~】
不喧譁,自有聲。優秀而謙遜的印度籍男神,ACCA教師Kris,並沒有太把這些成績當做一回事,他不僅僅有這些學業上、事業上的成功,他也有一個美麗的妻子和可愛的公主般的女兒。今天,小編就帶你們走進男神的世界,與根本不care his big belly的男神近距離探討求知、生活和家庭的快樂之道。
【註:因為英文水平有限o(╯□╰)o翻譯僅供大家參考~歡迎交流翻譯問題】
小編:您眼中優秀的學生,出色的老師是什麼樣的呢?
Kris:Good student: A person who is motivated, inquisitive in acquiring knowledge ,who can question the validity of the knowledge learned to enhance their understanding and apply the knowledge learned to solve real world problems.Good Teacher: A person, who is a good student himself, shows empathy for the learners,well-versed,practical,forward-looking and motivate his students to become better people.
(譯)一個優秀的學生能孜孜不倦、如饑似渴的學習新知識,知其然還要知其所以然,以期加深對知識的理解,能真正學以致用;一個優秀的老師其實也是一個優秀的學生,能和求學者換位思考,學識淵博,實事求是,有遠見,能夠激勵他的學生成為更好的,對社會有貢獻的人。
小編:您曾在印度,美國求學,如今在中國教書。您認為三個國家教育風格的最大差異是什麼?
Kris:Every country will have their own distinct learning cultures. So what matters here is not the differences in the learning cultures but learning itself. If a student is learning what he likes no matter where he/she is studying he/she will excel in studies. The ultimate important thing here is the interest of the learner. Learn what you like to excel yourself. So I prefer learning which has a purpose not just passing exams.
(譯)每個國家都孕育了自己獨特的「求知」文化,所以關鍵並不是其間的差異,而是學習本身。如果一個學生學其所好,那麼無論他身處何方,都會學有所成。興趣對於求知者來說是至關重要的一點,真正的興趣會激發人的潛能,超越自我。所以我覺得應試學習遠比不上純粹的學習。
小編:您認為ACCA考試難嗎?
Kris:Every accounting certification course is easier for a well prepared student. There are two steps to succeed in exams.
Firstly students must learn the whole syllabus content. And it is a good practice to summarize the points learned in concise notes which can help students in their review stage.
Secondly students must practice as many exam questions as possible under exam conditions to improve their time management skills.
(譯)所有的會計資格證課程都是為充分準備的人準備的。其實想一舉拿下考試只需兩點:首先,對整個教學大綱內容融會貫通,把厚書學薄,嘗試提煉重點,這對後階段的複習大有裨益;其次,題海戰術,模擬考場,反覆練習歷年真題,學會有效分配考試時間。
小編:對學生來說,平衡課外生活和學習的比重很關鍵。埋頭讀書而兩耳不聞窗外事可取嗎?如果不行,如何找到平衡點呢?
Kris:Finding the right balance is very important. You need to balance everything , you cant choose one thing over the other and regret about it later in life. My advice, plan properly and prioritize what is more important and follow it. Remember identifying what is more important is essential. So as a student studying is more important for you, also allocate some time for recreation and fun. Not the other way around.
(譯)尋找最佳均衡點很重要。你需要權衡所有的東西,不要吊死在一棵樹上,那只會令人追悔一生。所以我的建議是合理計劃,優先完成更重要的事情,要知道,分辨出事情的輕重急緩,孰輕孰重至關重要。學習對於學生來說當然是第一位,也要適度放鬆,勞逸結合。而不是背道而馳。
小編:您說過,您每天只睡5小時,但仍然精力充沛。您是怎麼做到的?您真的不困嗎?有秘訣嗎?
Kris:For any person I believe emotional energy is more important than physical energy. Emotional energy is unlimited unlike physical energy. Emotional energy is an aliveness of the mind, a happiness of the heart, and a spirit filled with hope. My family is my single most source of emotional energy. Every day when I am out for work I work very hard and I crave to go back to my home as soon as possible to see my wife’s beautiful smile and to play with my lovely kid. Doing that makes me emotionally very satisfied.So my advice for you is to think positively and always be happy to make yourself happier with your life. You can start by thinking of good things and look on the bright side, and going out of your way to be friendly towards others. Trust me life becomes better and sleep becomes secondary.
Other advice:
1) don’t drink coffee ( at least after 1:00pm)
2) when you feel sleepy, try to wash your face with cold water
【此段翻譯腦洞太大,真的僅供參考o(╯□╰)o】(譯)情緒「電池」比生理「電池」更重要,對任何人來說都如此。情緒「電池」與生理「電池」完全不同,無限可再生,是生機勃勃的思想,是內心深處的幸福感,是充滿希望的鬥志。我的家人是我情感「電池」的主要「供電源」。每天我認真工作,下班後便匆匆趕回家與我的家人共享天倫之樂,於是我的「電池」又充滿了幸福的「電」。所以我的建議是積極思考,保持樂觀,讓自己縱享生活的樂趣。以美好作為開始,以樂觀的態度看待事物,待人真誠友善。相信我,生活會變得比睡眠更重要。
還有一些其它建議:
1)不要喝咖啡(至少是在下午1點鐘之後)
2)有瞌睡時,試用冷水洗臉。
小編:在您的微博上有很多名言警句,哪一句最想送給大家?
Kris:「Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony」 – Mahatma Gandhi
(譯)「幸福是頭腦和言行的統一。」—聖雄甘地
小編:你最喜歡什麼中國菜?
Kris:Chongqing Hotpot
(譯)重慶火鍋
小編:您最喜歡重慶哪裡?雖然重慶交通擁堵,天氣多變(╯□╰)o
Kris:Chongqing Longfor Time Paradise Walk shopping mall. Regularly visit there ,at least once a week I go there.
(譯) 重慶龍湖時代購物中心。我經常去那,每周至少去一次那裡。
小編: 生活在中國有讓您難過的事嗎?
Kris:When someone says something is not possible even without trying it.
Once in a while I come across people who simple say no just because they don’t want to try or just because they don’t know.
(譯)有些人根本連嘗試都不敢就否認事情的可能性,有時候我會遇到那些消極的、拒絕行動的人或者那些眼光狹隘短淺的人,他們只會簡單地說「不」。
小編:我知道,您當老師是出於個人興趣,但在您的教學過程中,有想放棄的時候嗎?
Kris:I teach because I am motivated to teach. But sometimes organizations don’t differentiate between a motivated teacher and a unmotivated teachers. So sometimes their view of seeing everyone using the same prism makes me feel sad but I try to overlook that to keep myself happy and do what I am good at.
(譯)我教書是因為我喜歡教書,但有時候大家不會覺得一個積極的老師和懈怠的老師有何不同,而是相提並論,這讓我感到很難過。所以我儘量不去那麼太在意別人的觀點,做自己喜歡的,我覺得快樂就行。
小編:您知道您在您的學生中很受歡迎嗎?至少在您的教學班上有許多人視您為男神O(∩_∩)O…您覺得欣喜嗎?(加小編一個!小編就是您的腦殘粉之一!)
Kris:If I can contribute, motive and help you to study I am very happy and proud. I really don’t seek to become popular; I just want to show to the path to make you successful.
(譯)我感到高興和自豪如果我確實激勵並幫助了你們學習。我並不在意我是否是男神,我只是想引導你們走上通人生的正道。
小編:您經常說您的小公主可愛,她有沒有做過讓您感到十分生氣的事?而且您的工作很忙,一周之內要飛三個城市工作,這樣您有足夠的時間去陪您的小公主嗎?如果沒有她會生氣嗎?
Kris:My life revolves around my little princess. Well everything she does I love it but of course sometimes she will make me angry. If she did something really wrong I will correct her. I love her the most but that does not mean I will ignore her mistakes because it is my responsibility as a father to put her on the right track. Every time I have time I will only give it for her. In holidays I will spend day and night with her, making her do what she likes and make her enjoy all time. Everyday I am away from home I miss her.Yesterday when I am just about to leave home, she got her jelly box put it in my bag and told me 「papa keep this and eat when you are hungry」. These very words ring in my head all the time, I cant forget them. Though she is just 4 years old, she understands and supports me. I really don’t have words to express her many virtues.
(譯)我的生活圍繞我的小公主展開,她所做的一切我都喜歡,但是當然她有時候也會讓我生氣。如果她真的做了一件錯事我會糾正她。我愛她但這並不意味著我會忽視她的錯誤,因為作為一個父親,我的責任就是引導她走上正確的成長之路。我的空閒時間只屬於她。假期我會時刻陪伴她,讓她做她喜歡的事情,讓她一直快快樂樂的。每天我一離家,就十分想念她。昨天我正要離開家時,她把她的果凍盒放在我包裡,告訴我「爸爸把這個帶著等你餓的時候就吃掉」。這些話在我的腦海迴響,久久不能忘懷。雖然她只有4歲,但是她理解和支持我。她的可愛之處一言難盡。
小編:您和您的妻子都是很優秀的(從雅思成績可窺一斑)我們很好奇,你們是怎麼認識的,是誰提出正式結婚的?\(^ O ^)/ ~
Kris:I loved her so much and still do and will do forever. We are really made for each other. We are completely different but we complement each other. Meeting her is the best thing ever I did in my life and I proposed to her. She completely helped me transform myself. I am proud to say , she is the person responsible for my success.
(譯)【sorry……這一段就不翻譯了\(^o^)/~俗話說:每一個成功男人的背後都有一個優秀的妻子,that’s it!】
小編:您會做飯嗎?您曾經為家人做過飯嗎?
Kris:Yes I can cook and I did cook for my family many times. I love to cook but my loving wife never allows me to cook these days. When she comes back home she cooks something I like and make it ready for me. And when I eat she feels very happy, I can see that in her eyes. That’s why even if it is late (10:00pm), I prefer to go home and eat my food just to see that twinkle in her eye.
(譯)嗯,我會做飯啊,我經常為家人做飯。我喜歡做飯,但這段時間我摯愛的妻子從來不讓我做飯,她一回家就會為我準備我喜歡的飯菜。而且當我吃她做的菜時,她眼裡也流露出喜悅。正因為如此,即使很晚(10pm),我也願意回家吃飯,只為看到她眼睛裡閃爍的光芒。【來自同學們的番外:Kris在下午和晚上都有課時是不會吃晚飯的,剛剛開始我們以為他在減肥,後來他告訴我們即使不吃晚飯很餓或者吃夜宵會長胖,他也不在意,因為他想回家吃妻子親手為他做的飯\(^o^)/~太有愛】
小編:您所認為的愛的含義是什麼?
Kris:Two distinct souls yet in unison with a desire to make one another happy.
(譯) 就是兩個截然不同的靈魂依然希望讓彼此快樂。
小編:您是否為您的成就感到驕傲?
Kris:Well what I earned just represent my hard work. You also can do them. Ever thing you achieve should always humble you
(譯)我想我所取得的成就僅僅是對我辛勤的工作的肯定,只要努力你也可以,成績面前,保持謙虛,才能繼續前行。
小編:您認為教學中最重要的是什麼?
Kris:Teachings are all about showing the right path for learners. Sharing knowledge makes me happy, that's the best part of teaching.
(譯)教書就是循循善誘,引人向正道,分享知識使我快樂,這是教學中最重要的一部分。
小編:您如何維持您的公司和你的教學,還有家庭這三方面的平衡?
Kris:Balancing is hard but not impossible. if you start doing, it becomes very easy. Sometimes I wish we have 48 hours a day but as that is not possible we should prioritize our work. Do remember balancing time between work and family is very important. If we have to make a choice we better choose family!! Remember your family is always there for you no matter what.
(譯)平衡很難但不是不可能,如果敢於去做,就會變得很容易。有時我希望我們一天有48小時,但這是不可能的,所以我們應該優先考慮工作,平衡工作和家庭之間的關係非常重要。我認為家庭重於一切!記住,家人永遠陪伴你,無論風雨。
小編有話說:
通過努力和找到平衡,取得成就,受到認可,這些也許在Kris看來並不是那麼困難,也並非生命的全部,妻子和小公主的理解與支持才是最重要的,她們的笑容就是整個世界,家是心靈停靠的避風港。Kris以他的豐富的人生閱歷和經驗告訴我們快樂的學習之道在於興趣,生活要充滿樂觀,熱愛生活,熱愛家人。「Be positive then you will be energetic!」所以,讓我們積極地面對生活中的挫折吧,拒絕說「不」,努力並盡情的享受生活吧!
