漢語是座橋 我在這頭，夢想在那頭

Confucius Institute at South Ukrainian National Pedagogical University

在美麗的黑海之濱敖德薩有這樣一群可愛的學生他們正在學習漢語和中國文化用最美的歌聲唱出對中文的喜愛In the beautiful shore of Black Sea， OdessaThere is a group of lovely studentsThey are learning Chinese language and cultureAnd expressing their love for Chinese language through the most beautiful singing

“白日依山盡，黃河人海流。欲窮千里目，更上一層樓。”在南方師范大學孔子學院教室里傳出了陣陣動聽的旋律，古箏伴奏如泉水叮咚，鋼琴音色靈透古雅，學生們演唱著經(jīng)典古詩《登鸛雀樓》，用中文和俄語共同演繹了一曲動人的合唱。

唱中文歌，發(fā)現(xiàn)漢語之美

剛學習這首歌時，老師一邊播放原唱，一邊講解這首古詩所蘊含的意境：詩中描寫的是鸛雀樓上看到的景象，表達的卻是詩人對人生、對未來的展望。要想看到更遠、更美的風景，就要站得更高。

同學們理解了詩句的內(nèi)涵，便更加喜歡歌曲簡單空靈的旋律，很快就學會了這首歌。合唱時，中國老師彈奏古箏，為意蘊深遠的中文詩詞伴奏，二年級學生彈奏鋼琴，為優(yōu)美的俄語演唱伴上音符，同學們很快走進音樂和詩詞的世界，用兩種語言吟唱他們喜歡的韻律。

他們都非常興奮：“要想學好一門語言，必須從心里接受這門語言，學會發(fā)現(xiàn)它的美和樂趣所在，唱中文歌能讓我們輕松愉快地學習。”

雅娜和科斯家是漢語專業(yè)一年級的學生，非常努力，不到一年時間就取得了巨大進步。老師告訴雅娜，她的名字與智慧女神“雅典娜”很像，她聽了之后很高興，說要好好學習，讓自己擁有更多智慧。

對于很多學習者來說，漢語的聲調(diào)、漢字和語法等學習中的每個部分都不容易。由于語言形式的差異，他們在學習漢字時面臨著不少困難。從一筆一劃、橫平豎直開始，像是萬里長征，每一步都需要經(jīng)過刻苦努力的練習。

平時寫作業(yè)時，除了老師布置的內(nèi)容，雅娜還會主動為自己“加碼”，課后的漢字練習完成后，還要額外寫滿一頁紙。課堂上她喜歡提問，每一個詞都動腦筋想出盡可能多的搭配，然后向老師求證。

正因為這樣勤學好問，他們進步飛速，跨越了從零起點到日常對話交流的一大步，還能在平時幫助老師組織各種活動。 語言之外，他們對中國文化也很感興趣，會問起666、888的含義，中國人喜歡什么數(shù)字和相關(guān)的諧音意義;每次學到含有文化意象的詞語時，比如春節(jié)、書法、故宮、菜系等，總是追根究底，然后學以致用。

這個星期學了中國菜的話題，下課后他們馬上到當?shù)氐闹胁宛^去吃中餐，用語言學習，用味蕾去感受。用學生自己的話說：“漢語就是我的望遠鏡，看遙遠的中國，越來越清晰。”

漢語是座橋，我在這頭，夢想在那頭

語言是溝通的橋梁。近年來，烏克蘭的中國文化熱和漢語熱逐漸升溫，在南師大孔院本部及其20多個教學點學習漢語的學生每年都有數(shù)千人。專業(yè)班的學生經(jīng)過一年多的學習，有機會得到獎學金去中國留學，回國后有的成為本土漢語教師，有的繼續(xù)深造，有的則去往中國或在其他國家和地區(qū)的中資企業(yè)，進入航空公司、貿(mào)易企業(yè)以及其他行業(yè)工作。

中國的發(fā)展將帶給每個學好漢語的人更多機會。現(xiàn)在，同學們都對漢語和中國文化充滿熱情，將自己的夢想與美好的未來聯(lián)系在一起。

當問起他們對未來學習的目標時，每個人都有自己的答案。雅娜和科斯家想要繼續(xù)努力通過HSK三級考試，品嘗更多的中國美食。杜麗莎和其他將去中國留學的學生想要利用這難得的機會提高自己的漢語水平，了解中國的歷史與文化。的確，學習漢語和中國文化就像攀登一座高峰，堅持到底，才能領(lǐng)略其美。

抑揚頓挫，擲地有聲;云章丹青，潑墨留白;高山流水，絲竹琴瑟……中國和中國文化就像一座寶藏，他們正在用自己的努力一點一滴去讀懂。

愿這群可愛的學生，在學習漢語的道路上不斷“更上一層樓”！

\"The white sun sets behind the mountains， and the Yellow River flows intothe sea. To see a thousand mile view， go up another floor.\" In the classroomof the Confucius Institute at South Ukrainian National Pedagogical Univer-sity， the beautiful melody was heard. The accompaniment of Chinese zithersounded like spring water with the sound of ding-dong. The sound of thepiano was clear and elegant. The students were singing the ancient poemClimbing White Stork Tower， performing an appealing chorus in both Chineseand Russian.

When starting learning this song， the teacherplayed the original version and explained the ar-tistic conception of the poem at the same time：the poem describes the scenes on the top ofWhite Stork Tower and expresses the poet's ex-pectations for life and future. To see farther andenj oy more beautiful views， we should stand ona higher ground.

Afrer understanding the connotation of thepoem， the students were fonder of the simpleand vacant melody of the song， becoming ac-quainted to the song very quickly. When per-forming the chorus， the Chinese teacher playedChinese zither to accompany the Chinese poemwith profound meaning. The students of gradetwo played the piano， adding musical notes tothe elegant Russian singing. The students wereimmersed in the world of music and poemquickly， singing the thythm they loved in twolanguages.

They were very excited： \"To learn a languagewell， learners have to accept the language fromthe heart and learn to discover irs beaury andpleasure. Singing Chinese songs helps us learnwith a light heart.\"

Yana and Coska are grade one studentsmajoring in Chinese language. Working veryhard， they make great progress in less thanone year. The teacher told Yana that her namesounds like Athena， goddess of wisdom. Shewas very happy to hear this and said shewould work harder to be armed with morewisdom.

For many learners of Chinese language，every part in the learning， including tone（pitch of voice）， Chinese characters andgrammar， is not easy. Due to the differencesin language forms， they are confronted withquite a few diffculties in learning Chinesecharacters. Like a long march of thousands ofmiles， Chinese characters learning starts fromthe strokes of Chinese characters， requiringdiligent efforts and unremitting practice inevery step.

Regarding homework， besides the home-work assigned by the teachers， Yana volun-tarily adds more work. After the completionof the Chinese character practice after class，she will also write one more page of Chinesecharacters. In classroom， she likes to raisequestions and figures out word collo catio ns asmany as possible and then seeks confirmationfrom the teachers.

It is diligence and inquisitiveness that at-tribute to their rapid progress. Starting fromzero， they can now communicate in Chinesein daily life. They can even help the teachersorganize various activities.

Besides language， they are also inter-ested in Chinese culture. They may ask thenumbers the Chinese people like and therelevant consonant association， such as 666and 888. Every time they learn the wordsof cultural image， such as Spring Festival，calligraphy， the Forbidden Ciry， Chinesestyles of cooking， etc.， they would alwaysmake a thorough investigation and then ap-ply what they have learned.

This week， they learned Chinese food，and they went to the local Chinese restau-rants immediately after class for Chinesecuisines. They learn the language and feelthe feeling with their taste bud. In theirown word， \"Chinese language is my tel-escopes， with which I can see the remoteChina more clearly.\"

Language is a bridge for communica-tion. In recent years， Chinese culture andlanguage craze has become increasinglypopular in Ukraine. In the ConfuciusInstitute at South Ukrainian NationalPedagogical University and its over 20teaching sites， the amount oflearners ofChinese language exceeds one thousandevery year. After more than one year's learn-ing， students majoring in Chinese languageget the opportunity to obrain scholarshipsand pursue further studies in China. Afterreturning their motherland， some studentsbecame local Chinese language teachers;some pursued further studies; some workedin Chinese-funded enterprises in China orother countries and regions， being hired byairlines， trading companies， and companiesin other sectors.

China's development offers more oppor-tunities to all people who are proficient inChinese language. Nowadays， the studentsare enthusiastic in Chinese language andculture， associating their own dreams withthe bright future.

All people have their own goals of fu-ture learning. Yana and Coska want towork harder so as to pass the HSK Level IIIexamination and taste more Chinese food.Teresa and other students who are to studyin China want to make use of this valuableopportunity to improve their Chinese pro-ficiency so as to learn about China's historyand culture.lndeed， learning Chinese lan-guage and culture is like climbing a peak.Only by holding on to the last， can oneappreciate its beauty.

Rising and falling in cadence; powerfulwords of every Chinese characters; refinedarticles and paintings; crossed white andblack; lofry mountains and flowing water;traditional stringed and woodwind instru-ments …… China and Chinese culture are likea land of treasure. The students are tryingtheir best to understand every part of it.

Wish the lovely students continue tomove higher in learning Chinese.
