Sheldon: Hello my audience, welcome to Campus Interview from VOE Foreign Languages Radio. I’m your old friend Sheldon.
黎民:“大家早上好,我叫DIEGO,我刚刚在西班牙学习了一年,我现在在北语读大四,我的专业是西班牙语言文学,希望有机会能认识大家,谢谢!”(西班牙语)
Latisha: Hi 大家好,欢迎翻开今天的校园访谈录,我是你们的好朋友费丹力。不知道亲爱的听众朋友们是否能听得出刚刚的那位神秘嘉宾所说的是哪种语言。子含你知道吗?
Sheldon: Of course I do! That is a self-introduction in Spanish, isn’t it? (Right!)Well, today, we take a step outside our tiny little campus, all the way to the Beijing Language and Culture University.
Latisha: 没错,今天我们采访到的是一位目前就读于北京语言大学并有着一年西班牙圣地亚哥大学交换经历的西语学生。那么在接下来的时间里,我们的这位嘉宾将与听众朋友们一起分享一下北语的风采以及留学欧洲的传奇经历。
Sheldon: Hello 黎民 Could you please introduce yourself again in English to our audience?
黎民: Hi everyone. I’m Limin and I have a Spanish name Diego. So I’m now studying in BLCU and my major is Spanish. And now I’m in the forth year of this University.
Sheldon: Well, thank you for join me today. Before we officially begin our today’s interview, I got a news of our Diego that he is a child prodigy especially in languages and he went to college at the age of 16. Latisha you know?
Latisha: 当然知道,采访前我也有做功课的哦,除了你说的内容,我还了解到黎明在高三的时候就考取了雅思7.5分的好成绩及其中阅读和听力都是满分,大学英语四级同样拿到了662分的高分!
Sheldon: Exactly! So 黎民 could you share the experience that how did you get admitted to BLCU? Considering your achievements in English, I don’t think that is difficult for you.
黎民: Ok, I came into this university with a type of recruitment called independent recruitment. It means that you have to go to the ?? exam but you also need to take another little exam in the university about half year before the ?? exam. And if you get pass that exam you will get a 20 or 30 points for your final exam. So I passed that exam and I got my major Spanish. This major was my dream major since primary school or something. So it was really dream came true and I definitely chose to study in this university.
Latisha: 能够学习自己从小梦想的专业是多少大学生的愿望啊,祝贺你啊~
Sheldon: Yeah, and then would you like to tell the impression of your school?
黎民: The atmosphere in this university was fantastic. When I first came into this university, I found out that there were so many foreigners there. And you could find any type of language in that university. Whenever I do anything, I play football basketball or tennis. I can always find some friends from Spanish speaking countries. And I can practice my spoken Spanish with these guys. And another important feature about this university that is this university is very small. Because we use to be alongside the big university but in 1964 the government decided that we should be given independent place for our university. So we got half the campus of Beijing Geography University or something. So to be honest, we are a very very small university but we have the people from every country in the world.
Latisha: 在北语能接触到世界各地的大学生着实令人羡慕啊,正如黎民所说,相比有这样国际化的人文环境,校园面积不大的问题也就不算什么了。
Sheldon: Indeed, and Latisha we have talked with Limin for sometime, I believe that it is not difficult for you to find that he speaks English with a Spanish accent. (yes, obviously) And Limin I heard that you have been to Spain for one year. I wondered how you got the chance to study in Spain? I think there are must many people competing with you for it.
黎民: Yeah, I got this weird Spanish accent in Spain. I didn’t get admitted to the university on my own. It is because we have some exchange program with 3 or 4 Spanish universities. Well, I was in the second grade, our teacher gave us 3 or 4 choices and also we had the choice of going to Mexico. But eventually I chose to go to Spain. I went to the University of Santiago. Santiago is a very very small city but it is of very important cultural importance because we have a very important cathedral at the centre of the city. It is called the Cathedral of Santiago. It is said that one of the students of Jesus was buried there. So Santiago has now become the second most important Catholic city all over the world.
Sheldon: Wow, it seems that you just seized the opportunity. And studying in Spain must be a wonderful experience!
Latisha: 那是一定的,黎民所说的圣地亚哥大教堂我曾在有关欧洲建筑的记录片中看到。圣地亚哥大教堂气势恢宏,始建于1748年,祭祀着基督12门徒之一的雅各,是西班牙重要的标志性建筑之一。时间过得真快,今天的校园访谈录就到这里啦,明天我们将继续采访黎民,他将与我们分享他周游欧洲的奇幻经历同时还会教大家简单的西班牙语哦!
Sheldon: Yeah, that’s all for today’s campus interview. Thank you for your listening. And see you next time. Bye.
