“青春肆意生長，歡樂四濺在美式校園”——記瑞得福國際學校2019秋季趣味運動會

The RDF Field Day was held on Friday, November 29 on the RDF campus. There was a lot of preparation that went in before the event, and many helpers on the day of, which contributed to the event’s overall success. 11月29日周五，在陽光和煦的瑞得福國際學校校園內(nèi)，趣味運動會再一次在萬眾期待中拉開

The day started off cool, which was probably a good thing to help students want to get their blood flowing. As the day wore on the sun came out, but it never got real warm which made for a good day of activities.

秋高氣爽，正當好時節(jié)。這為同學們參與各種運動項目提供了極佳的條件，沸騰了同學們身上流淌著的年輕血液。即便到了正午太陽高懸，天氣也絲毫沒有轉(zhuǎn)向炎熱不堪，一天的運動下來，同學們感到無比的輕松和愉悅。

With as many students as we have at RDF it took a lot of effort to arrange activities that would keep the students occupied the entire time. The efforts paid off, and it was heartening to see so many students participating enthusiastically.

為了盡可能讓瑞得福國際學校的全體同學們都能夠在運動會中都能找到自己感興趣、拿手的項目，充分參與，全情投入。我們花費了很多心血和時間精心策劃了各種不同的有趣活動，讓同學們在整個運動會的期間忙碌起來，參與到各種有益身心的活動中來。看到運動會當天如此多的同學們熱情參加，老師們在背后的付出與努力得到了回報，感到莫大的欣慰。同時，同學們在其中所展現(xiàn)出來的精神風貌更是令人振奮。

Mr. Brian Robinson served an enthusiastic master of ceremonies who encouraged students through the loud speaker and kept them moving from event to event with his good time keeping and classic choice in music.

Robinson先生是一位極富熱情的運動會主持人，他用洪亮的嗓音和加油打氣的話語，在運動會期間不斷鼓勵學生。得益于他對時機準確的把握和現(xiàn)場音樂精巧的選擇，讓同學們在運動會的每一個項目輪換中，都保持井然有序和熱情滿滿，一直活躍在現(xiàn)場沸騰的氣氛里。

Students enjoyed the hula hoop race, in which teams joined hands in a line and passed a hula hoop down their line, over heads and under feet, without releasing hands (it’s not as easy as it sounds).

同學們都很享受呼啦圈傳遞比賽，在比賽中，每個團隊各排成一行，并在頭頂和腳下順著呼啦圈向下傳遞，期間不能松開緊握同伴的手(聽起來就很不容易)。

They also liked the wheelbarrow race where the highlight was one student simply carrying another student rather than walking them like a wheelbarrow.

他們還很喜歡“獨輪車”比賽，比賽當中一隊參賽者突發(fā)奇想，沒有采用大多數(shù)同學的兩兩搭成“獨輪車”緩慢行進的方式，而是一反常規(guī)，由一位同學扛著隊友沖過了終點線。

Many in the staff were amazed with how fast students ran their 200M leg of the team relay. Some students appeared to be running for their lives.

許多的師生都對200米接力比賽中參賽選手們的速度感到驚訝。大家似乎都使出了渾身解數(shù)，用盡全力，奔向他們向往的勝利。

We had students playing dodgeball, volleyball, basketball, soccer, and badminton.

還有不少的同學進行了躲避球、排球、籃球、足球和羽毛球等項目。

One of our RDF basketball players, after spraining his ankle last night in our basketball game, hopped his way around the basketball hot shot and still scored several points.

我們?nèi)鸬酶；@球隊的一位隊員，運動會的前一天，在為校出征的比賽中，不慎扭傷了腳踝。但是他在運動會的籃球比賽中依然憑借著精準的投籃，為他所在的隊伍贏得了寶貴的幾分。

We also had students shot putting, throwing footballs, and playing tug-of-war. With such a variety of events the hope was to get everyone included, which I think we did. Most students seemed pretty excited to participate.

我們還為學生設(shè)置了投籃、投擲橄欖球和拔河的比賽。如此之多的活動安排，都旨在讓每一位同學都參與其中。從大多數(shù)同學們燦爛的笑容和享受的神情中，我們不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，我們實現(xiàn)了瑞得福國際學校運動會的全體參與、享受運動的目的與初衷。

One student, determined to win a medal, ran the 50M sprint eight times to finally claim the bronze medal.

有一名決心贏得獎牌的學生，參加了八次50米的比賽，最終獲得了銅牌。他這種鍥而不舍的精神令人欽佩。

Girls and boys who could do pull ups, won the combined pull up, push up, and sit up competition.

參加引體向上的女生和男生們，贏得了引體向上、俯臥撐和仰臥起坐的綜合比賽。

The staff talked of how impressed they were with the student engagement, their tenacity, and their effort. For example, we had a few students stumble while running or doing other strenuous events. Most just jumped right up and continued with their activity, showing endurance!

老師們紛紛表示，學生們在運動會中所表現(xiàn)出來的專注、毅力和為了目標不斷努力的精神讓他們的印象深刻。例如，我們有幾名同學在跑步或進行其他劇烈運動時不慎摔倒了，但他們依然不放棄自己的目標，爬起來后繼續(xù)完成他們的比賽，表現(xiàn)出了堅忍不拔的耐力!

This was a great event to foster teamwork and unity. It also gave teachers and staff the chance to encourage students in activities outside the classroom. We truly have a wonderful student body and staff.

瑞得福運動會是一次難得的鍛煉的好機會，不但增進了團隊精神、更是把團隊合作的理念深入到每一個人的心中。也讓我們的教師和教職員工們有機會在課堂以外的活動中，鼓勵學生、激勵學生、鼓舞學生。毫無疑問，我們擁有無比出色的師生團隊。

Once the games were over and the points were tallied, we had a lot of different winners with only a few students who placed in more than one event.

運動會結(jié)束、公布結(jié)果后，我們現(xiàn)場為各項比賽的優(yōu)勝選手頒獎，一些同學還不只收獲了一項比賽的榮譽。

We also had a happy Blue Sharks team who won the most points on the day. Congratulations Sharks, and thanks to the teachers, administration, and staff who made this day a success!

我們還有一支充滿了快樂精神的藍鯊魚隊，他們在當天贏得了最高分。祝賀藍鯊魚隊，并感謝所有在這一天里，為運動會的成功舉辦做出了巨大貢獻的教職員工們!

最后，小幫妹在這里要跟各位家長們說一個好消息：在12月14日，我們將專門針對幼小階段的家長舉辦幼小升學公益講座!有意向的家長可以掃碼報名!
