今天這篇“天行學(xué)子系列之二十一”的作者是來自高一三班（中美班）的湯俊洋George。在文章中他回顧了2019年，這一年，原本在省內(nèi)一所重點學(xué)校的國際部接受了近一年國際教育的他逃離了之前的舒適圈，背井離鄉(xiāng)轉(zhuǎn)入天行中美班。在天行不到半年，他收獲良多。展望未來十年，他希望可以不忘初心，來日可期。

　　歲月的暖，漫過時間的河，撫過久閉的心扉，我在時光斑駁深處，聆聽到花開的聲音。

　　——題記

　　The warmth of the years flows over the river of time and caresses the closed heart for a long time. I listen to the sound of flower bloom in the depths of time.

　　--Inscription

　　白駒過隙，日月如梭，二十一世紀(jì)一零年代即將在忙碌而充實的生活中落下帷幕。

　　How time flies! The 2010s is about to end in a busy and fulfilling life.

　　2019年，對我來說，是滄海桑田的一年。

　　2019, for me, is a year of change.

　　這一年，我跳離了原本的舒適圈。

　　This year, I jumped out of my comfort zone.

　　這一年，我來到了南昌，一個熟悉卻又陌生的城市。

　　This year, I came to Nanchang, a familiar but strange city.

　　可能與其他大部分同學(xué)都不同的是，我是從外地轉(zhuǎn)來天行一中就讀的學(xué)生。在來到天行之前，我也曾在省內(nèi)一所重點學(xué)校開辦的國際部接觸過近一年的國際教育，可因種種原因，不盡人意。在那里，我平時的學(xué)習(xí)中沒有感到什么壓力，被別人稱作是“最優(yōu)秀的學(xué)生”。今年暑假，我前往北京，在這個超一線城市研習(xí)了四個星期。那時，我才真正意識到自己的渺小，毫不夸張地說，就像是一滴水滴進(jìn)了大海中，才知所謂的優(yōu)秀，只是因視野小而產(chǎn)生的錯覺。從那時起我就想，我是否應(yīng)該邁出腳步，跳出自己的舒適圈，找到能夠讓自己真正稱得上優(yōu)秀的舞臺。我不知將去向何方，但我已經(jīng)在路上。從北京返回江西后，一次偶然的機(jī)會，我知道了天行一中，“江西省最好的國際高中”一行大字映入了我的眼中。

　　Unlike most other students, I am a student transferred to Teensen from another city. Before coming to Teensen, I had studied in the international department of a key senior high school for nearly one year, but for various reasons, it was not satisfactory. There, I didn't feel any pressure in my usual study, and was called the best student by others. This summer, I went to Beijing and studied in this super-first-tier city for four weeks. At that time, I really realized that I was small, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was like a drop of water dropped into the sea. From then on, I wondered whether I should take a step forward, step out of my comfort zone, and find a stage where I can truly be called an excellent student. I didn't know where to go, but I was already on my way. After returning to Jiangxi from Beijing, by chance, I knew Teensen, and the words "The Best International High School in Jiangxi Province" came into my eyes.

　　第一次來到天行，是在2019年8月21日，正處開學(xué)季。我在老師的帶領(lǐng)下，在高二四班試聽了幾節(jié)之前從未接觸過的A-Level課程。幾節(jié)課下來，我發(fā)現(xiàn)，原來在周圍的同齡人之中，也有著不少佼佼者。幾天后，在某些契機(jī)下，我認(rèn)識了中美班班主任謝萬順老師，也就是我現(xiàn)在的班主任老師，在和他的交流中，我對這所學(xué)校有了更多的了解，同時也對他的教學(xué)水平感到欽佩。這些都為我轉(zhuǎn)入天行一中就讀奠下了基礎(chǔ)。

　　I came to Teensen for the first time on August 21, just in the beginning of the school season. Under the guidance of a teacher, I auditioned for several A-level lessons in class 4, senior 2 that I had never been exposed to before. After a few lessons, I found that among the peers around me, there were many outstanding ones. A few days later, at some point, I got to know the director of Sino-American class, Mr. Xie Wanshun, who is now my head teacher. In my exchanges with him, I learned more about this school and also admired for his teaching level. All these laid the foundation for my transfer to Teensen.

　　在經(jīng)過一段時間的深思熟慮后，9月2日，我正式來到了天行一中的中美班就讀。那時已經(jīng)距離8月26日開學(xué)過了一周，我對于周圍的同學(xué)和老師都還非常陌生。那時的我是沉默寡言的，面對陌生的課程體系，也是一知半解。幸運的是，班上的老師和同學(xué)們都帶我快速融入了這個新的集體。那些天，現(xiàn)在的我仍清楚的記得。劉老師在課上對我的關(guān)注、郭老師給我做的一對一Office time、悅姐在晚自習(xí)的輔導(dǎo)…… 這些我都銘記在心。我也幸運地在這里結(jié)交了幾位知心好友，幸得識卿桃花面，從此阡陌多暖春。

　　After a period of deliberation, on September 2nd, I officially came to the Sino-American class in Teensen. At that time, it had been a week since the semester began on August 26, and I was still not familiar to the students and teachers around me. At that time I was taciturn. Facing the unfamiliar curriculum system, I had a scanty knowledge of it. Fortunately, the teachers and students in the class took me into this new group quickly. I still remember those days clearly. What impressed me are Rachel’s attention to me in class, Grace's one-to-one office time, and the tutoring of Teacher Huang Yue in the evening. Here, I was also fortunate to make a few close friends who offered warmth to me.

　　“憶往昔崢嶸歲月，看今朝百舸爭流?！?今天的我，在這些寶貴財富的陪伴下，帶著進(jìn)入世界名校的夢想砥礪前行。三年磨一劍，終得梅花香。三年后的我，跨出國門，開始新的旅程。在漫漫的人生道路上，偶爾也會感到迷茫，但任重道遠(yuǎn)，即使結(jié)果可能不能盡如人意，也要在塵埃落定前全力拼搏。如此，亦是不負(fù)這風(fēng)華正茂的青春，也不負(fù)這個日新月異的時代。未來十年，不忘初心，來日可期。

　　"Recalling the past years and seeing the current fierce battles." Today, accompanied by these precious treasures, I am forging ahead with my dream of entering a world famous university. After three years of sharpening a sword, you will get the fragrance of success finally. Three years later, I went abroad and started a new journey. On the long road of life, I sometimes feel confused, but there is a long way to go. Even if the results may not be satisfactory, we must work hard until the end. In this way, I will live up to the glorious youth, but also this fast-changing era. In the next ten years, I will never forget my original aspiration, and look forward to the future.
