　　参加活动趣事多——你是第一次参加这个志愿活动吗?你在活动中负责的青年代表来自哪个国家呢?期间有什么趣事可以和我们分享下吗?(比如在和外宾交流过程中，因为文化差异产生的趣事)

Interesting things at the event——Was it your first time to attend this volunteer activity? Where did the youth representative that you are in charge of come from? Was there any interesting things during the forum you’d like to share? (For example, some interesting things caused by cultural differences when communicating with foreign guests)

　  十分荣幸能够参加此次志愿活动，我负责接待来自美国奥斯汀的城市代表Sue 和 Jacob。比较有趣的事应该就是我们每次在车上的小活动了吧。我们与来自英国约克，以色列特拉维夫的城市代表们同处一辆车，我们常在车上一起分享零食，聊天。有一次，我们几位湖大的志愿者一起唱了湖大的校歌，几位城市代表听了之后也跃跃欲试，于是他们纷纷唱了自己国家的儿歌，我们就在车上直接开始了一场“小型演唱会”哈哈。在这五天里，尽管我是志愿者，但在交流过程中，我觉得我们跨越了国界，跨越了种族，就像朋友一样交换想法。

I was very honored to participate in this volunteer event. I was responsible for accompanying Sue and Jacob from the city of Austin, USA. We were in the same car with the city representatives from Tel Aviv, Israel and York, England. We often shared snacks and chat in the car. Once, several of our volunteers from Hunan university sang the school songs . After listening to the songs, some city representatives also wanted to sing. So they sang the children's songs of their countries, and we started a small concert in the car. During these five days we spent together, I felt that we exchanged ideas like friends beyond national borders and races.

      我觉得很好玩的的时候就是论坛结束的那一天，我们和奥斯汀还有特拉维夫代表一起去了太平街。吃饭的时候我的约克代表对青蛙之类的菜式感到不能接受，也不太习惯用筷子。这可能也是不同文化之间的差异吧。但他们虽然不太适应，却始终表示尊重和理解，我觉得很感动，因为不卑不亢、相互尊重与理解正是面对多元文化时我们应有的态度。

We went to Taiping Street with representatives from Austin and Tel Aviv before they leaving. The representative from York felt unacceptable about dishes like frogs and was not used to chopsticks. This showed the difference among cultures. However, although they are not very used to the chinese custom, they always showed respect and understanding. I was very touched by their attitude. We should always stay humble and respectful when facing multiculture.

　　我负责代表是联合国教科文组织驻华代表处的欧敏行女士。因为她去年已经参加过一次这样的论坛了，所以她对于长沙，对这个论坛都非常的熟悉。还记得她一下飞机在车上的时候就跟我们随行的领导说：诶，今晚要去约一场夜宵啊，吃吃小龙虾喝喝酒什么的。当天晚上她就好好去体验了一下长沙的美食和夜景，第二天起床后她和我说昨天晚上玩得很尽兴，睡得也非常好，她一直很怀念长沙，现在终于又回来了，很开心。

I was responsible for accompanying Mr. Mariela Oliveira, Representative and Director of UNESCO Beijing Office. She had participated the same forum last year, so she was very familiar with Changsha. I still remember that when she was in the car, she said to our leader: “Hey, I'm going to have some snacks tonight, crayfish and some drink. In the evening, she went to experience the food and night scenes of Changsha. After getting up the next day, she said that she had a good time last night and slept very well. She had missed Changsha a lot and she was so happy to come back.

　　最有趣的事就是我客串了一把媒体翻译员，协助一些媒体采访了参与青年代表研讨会的青年代表和城市代表，通过这些采访让我认识了很多有趣的人，也听到了很多的评价。比如在高级别论坛时，一位记者朋友让我帮忙采访一位日本的代表Yasuda, 我一开始就是直接翻译记者的问题，后来慢慢我了解采访模式之后，我就试着针对她的一些回答更深入的提问，比如 “作为一个青年(代表)，为推动文化交流和促进媒体艺术发展，你是怎样做的?”

　　她表示她目前是一名公司法律顾问，但就是因为出于对文化交流的热爱加入了一个NGO，主要工作为选派代表前往国外参加文化交流项目。所以她主要通过参加这样的活动来增进交流，将优秀文化待会家乡，也将家乡推向世界。最后的采访结果大家都很满意。事后，我和Yasuda聊了一会，她说，中国的朋友们都很善良也很热情，经过这次论坛的讨论，她也得到了很多深刻的思考，真的很开心自己能参与这样一场盛会。我听了之后也觉得很开心，同时也觉得我们的努力得到了肯定。

The most interesting thing was that I served as a media translator and assisted some media staffs to interview the youth representatives and city representatives who participated in the youth representative seminar. Through these interviews, I met many interesting people and heard their opinions. For example, in the high-level forum, a reporter asked me to interview a Japanese representative, Yasuda. I started with translating the reporter's questions directly. Later, after I got used to the interview mode, I tried to ask some profound questions following her answers. I asked: As a youth (representative), what had you done to promote cultural exchanges and the development of media art? She told me that she was a legal counsel in a company, but she joined an NGO because of her love of cultural exchanges, her job in the NGO was selecting representatives to participate in cultural exchange projects abroad. Therefore, she promoted cultural exchanges by participating in this kind of activities, brought excellent culture to her hometown and promoted Japanese culture to the world. The result of this interview was very satisfying. Afterwards, I talked with Yasuda for a while. She said that Chinese friends are very kind and enthusiastic. After the discussion in the forum, she also got a lot of profound understandings. I was really happy that I can participate in this awesome event and that our efforts had been confirmed.

　　不是第一次参加，这一次接待了两个拉脱维亚的青年代表，比较有意思的是这两个拉脱维亚的小姐姐，他们具体有民族特色的服装都非常漂亮。所以我们走在路上的时候，有很多长沙市民都会问我能不能跟她们合影。她们也觉得自己很受欢迎，觉得很开心。

It was not my first time to participate in this forum. This time, I accompanied two young representatives from Latvia. Their ethnic costumes were very beautiful. So when we were walking on the street, many citizens in Changsha would ask if they could take a photo with them. They thought they were very popular and they felt very happy about it.

　　我是第一次参加这个一带一路青年创意与遗产论坛。我负责的外宾是来自缅甸。他的趣事还蛮多，一次在欢迎晚宴上面有一道菜是剁椒鱼头，但很多外宾是不吃鱼头的，外宾们在国外买到的能吃的鱼都是处理好的半身的鱼。所以他们会觉得那鱼头比较恐怖，鱼眼睛好像在盯着自己，所以他们都不会去吃。

　　我负责的外宾还有一件事比较搞笑，有一天他突然在微信上私信我说，问我有没有指甲刀，他需要一个。他问我说我自己用的指甲刀，能不能算给他的纪念品，他可以买下来。我说那纪念品应该是我送你的，不能是你买的，所以我就把我的指甲刀送他了。我觉得这件事挺可爱的，中外在这个赠送礼品的文化上还有习惯上还是有很多差异。

I participated in this forum for the first time. The foreign guest I accompanied was from Myanmar. There were a lot of interesting things about him. One dish at the welcome dinner was fish head, but many foreign guests didn't eat fish head, becasue the fish they bought at their countries were fish with the head already cut down. So they might thought that the fish head was horrible, and the fish eyes seemed to be staring at themselves, so they would not eat.

There was another interesting thing about the foreign guest I accompanied. One day, he suddenly asked me on WeChat if I had a nail clipper and he needed one. He asked me if he could use my nail clipper and he wanted to buy it as souvenir. I said that I should send him a souvenir, so I sent him my nail clipper. I think this was a very cute thing. There are still many differences in gift-giving culture between Chinese and foreign countries.
