2014山大日记：国际教育学院 马修　

　　The first one: I love to watch the sunrise, even in the darkest smoggy cloudy morning.

　　The second one: My class and myself signed in for a sport's morning at SDU, and I was sure it would take the whole day.

　　Once I got to basketball court, where we were supposed to meet, my feelings got a little bitter: most of my classmates didn't show up. 

　　Then there we were...an small group of 8, out of almost 30 students we are. I thought: “We are not going to make it...”

　　What a pleasant surprise, and what a joyful and funny day we had. Not only did we accomplish each and every task, but we also won the first prize in one of the contests. We laugh so much, we play so hard, and we did our best every time. And you know what? It was worth...

　　We forgot about our daily issues and embrace the moment. We just loved it. We even got as prize, 8 notebooks. How blow I felt! 　　When one of my friends proudly showed off his recently earned trophy to someone else, I did the same.

　　And remembered something: 

　　DON'T STOP BELIEVING... KEEP THE FAITH!!!

　　So you’d better watch out your “Best Friend Forever”, HSK, because here we go...

　　译文：

　　星期天早晨五点，我像每天那样在宿舍认真复习HSK（汉语水平考试），为什么这么早呢？

　　有两个原因：

　　第一，我喜欢看日出，即使是在多云又浓雾弥漫的清晨。

　　第二，我和我们班的同学们报名参加了山东大学的一场运动会，运动会从早上开始，我确信它将持续一整天。

　　我一到大家约定见面的篮球场，就感到有点失望，因为我们班大多数同学都还没有出现。

　　我们班总共接近30人，却只组成了一支8人的队伍。我想：“我们在运动会拿不到好成绩了。”

　　但这是个多么令人愉快的惊喜啊，我们度过了多么快乐有趣的一天。我们不但完成了每一个任务，还获得了其中一个项目的一等奖。我们欢声笑语，奋力拼搏，每一次都竭尽全力。你知道吗？这很值得。

　　我们忘记了日常琐事，拥抱这一时刻，我们爱这种感觉。我们还得到了8本笔记本作为奖品。当我的一位朋友自豪地向其他人炫耀自己刚刚赢得的奖品时，我也做了同样的事。

　　要记得：

　　一定要相信，坚持信念！！！

　　你最好当心你的“好朋友”——汉语水平考试，因为我们又要开始复习了……
