大学毕业后为什么想去支教？
What motivated you to become a volunteer teacher after you graduated from college?
我觉得志愿性质的活动首先可以做贡献，其次可以锻炼人。所以支教的机会一出现，就努力去争取了。
I consider volunteer opportunities a great way to give back and to build one’s character. So, when the opportunity appeared, I went for it.
在泰国支教，有哪些不寻常的体验和收获？
Did you have any unusual experiences in Thailand?
和其他国家相比，泰国的条件已经算好了，但还是有些让人心有余悸的经历。当时是学校安排的住宿，打开后门就是湿地。有一次，眼睁睁看着从门缝滑进一条蛇，赶紧打电话叫人过来处理。第二次蛇再来光临，我就自己拿着扫帚簸箕把它给请出去了。
There were countries with less favorable conditions than Thailand. However, I did have some spine-chilling moments during my stint there. There was a body of swamp behind my rented house. Once, a snake slithered in under the door right in front of my eyes. I panicked and called for help. But when that happened for the second time, I had already learned how to deal with it: I calmly scooped it up in a dustpan and set it free into the swamp.
都去过哪里旅行？旅行给你带来了什么？
Which countries have you visited? What have you got out of travelling?除了泰国，还去过印度尼西亚、马来西亚、新加坡、以色列和约旦。旅行让我开拓了视野，增长了见识，还让我变得更加包容和开明。
I have been to Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Israel and Jordan. Travelling has rewarded me with experiences, knowledge, revelations, and open-mindedness.

你是什么时候发现自己对语言感兴趣的？
When did you discover your talent for languages?
初中时，老师带着我们演英语小话剧，讲英语相声，寓教于乐，不亦乐乎，在我心里埋下了学习语言的快乐种子。
我曾经离开联合国近二十年，在金融行业工作了近十年, 然后又回到自己热爱的这个职业。误入歧途，但迷途知返，此生大幸也！
In middle school, we used to produce small plays and do stand up comedy in English. It was so much fun. I guess that's when I fell in love with the art of language.
I was away from the UN for nearly twenty years, during which time I worked in the financial sector for ten years. I feel truly lucky to have returned to the job I love after having done something that did not really suit me.

联合国文件翻译，有时是个“枯燥”活儿，对人的注意力、意志力都是考验。我从把文章翻得“漂亮”中得到满足，给自己鼓劲儿。另外还要注意劳逸结合，保障睡眠，多运动，保持充沛体力。
Sometimes, translating certain UN documents can be quite tedious. I try to cheer myself up by producing especially apt translations that I feel proud of. I also ensure that I get adequate sleep and plenty of exercise in order to maintain a high level of energy.
工作之余，有什么兴趣爱好？
What do you do in your spare time?
因为生长在文艺家庭，特别喜欢唱歌，对文艺的热爱流淌在血液里。另外我还爱好写诗、朗诵、打篮球。兴趣爱好和工作是一样的，都是在尊重自己的基础上，自然而然地去发掘。
As I grew up in an artistic family, I love singing and all forms of art. I also like writing poems and playing basketball. Choosing hobbies is no different from choosing a career: both need to be rooted in self-respect and acceptance.

中文处郝胜利
热爱绘画的郝老师总把“生活就是简单的快乐”挂在嘴边，让我们一起分享她的生活哲学吧！
联合国工作对你有什么特别的意义？
Does the UN job have any special meaning to you?
从前，只是简单的工作——挣钱——养家。来到联合国后，尽管依旧是工作——挣钱——养家，但更关心因污染给地球带来的危害，也更关注那些因战争而流离失所的人。联合国的工作让我更多地思考生活：世界和平——家庭和美——身心健康，这些都息息相关。
In the past, I worked to simply make money and support my family. At the UN, however, I began to care more about issues like pollution and people displaced by wars. The UN job inspired me to reflect on the meaning of life. I realized that a happy family, a healthy body and mind, and world peace are all interconnected.
工作之余，有什么兴趣爱好？
What do you do in your spare time?
工作之余我喜欢绘画。一草一木，一花一石，都是有生命的。她们并不起眼，却顽强而美丽。绘画的过程也是我与这些生命相互感染的过程。
I spend lots of time painting after work. Each flower, each tree or rock — they all embody life. They are inconspicuous but have amazing strength and beauty. Painting is a process in which I learn from them and become one with them.
你最喜欢的话是什么？
What’s your motto?
知足常乐。
A contented mind is a perpetual feast.
请用一个词/一句话形容自己吧。
Can you use one word/sentence to describe yourself?
无忧无虑的乐天派！我的愿望是让自己天天快乐，然后把这份快乐传递给周围的人。
A carefree, happy-go-lucky type of person. My wish is to be happy every day, and then transmit that joy to the people around me.
