亲爱的全球神墨学员:
Dear Shenmo students:
你们好!
Greetings to you all!
今天是六一儿童节,是一个专属于你们的快乐、幸福、温暖而又独特的节日。时光辗转得飞快,仿佛去年我们刚刚一起畅谈心里话,一转眼,今年又可以以这样的方式愉快地交流。
Today is the International Children's Day, a happy, warm and unique festival exclusively for you. Time flies so fast, as if we just finished our heart-to-heart talk last year, and in a blink of an eye, we can communicate happily in this way again this year.
在过去的一年里,疫情的阴霾依旧时隐时现,极大地改变了所有人习以为常的生活、工作与学习方式。你们或许无法自由自在地与爸爸妈妈快乐出游,吃一次心念已久的大餐;无法随心所欲地与同龄小朋友相约玩耍,参加一场期待非常的聚会;也无法与神墨老师和同窗小伙伴们时时见面,享受每一次快乐轻松的学习。
In the past year, the COVID-19 epidemic has continued to occur intermittently, which has greatly changed the we live, work and study as we are accustomed to. You may not be able to travel freely with your parents and have a feast that you have been longing for; you may not be able to hang out with your friends for fun and attend a long-awaited party as you wish; and you may not be able to meet with your Shenmo teachers and classmates and enjoy every happy and relaxed study session.
而作为你们的大朋友,我与全体神墨老师,也都非常想念与你们朝夕相对的日子,你们天真稚气的笑脸,清脆稚嫩的声音,奔跑跃动的身影,古灵精怪的念头,是老师们心间最温馨的思念与期盼。
As your big friend, I, together with all Shenmo teachers, also miss the days when we spent time together, and we often miss your innocent faces, crisp voices, lively figures and quirky thoughts.
如今,海内外很多地方的疫情防控已经趋于稳定,你们当中的很多人已经重返校园,哪怕与老师还有短暂的分别,也希望你们不要忘记曾经在神墨的美好时光,不要忘记在这里的所学所思、所念所想。希望你们不管身在何处,都可以于声声作响的算珠之间,异彩纷呈的色彩之上,纤毫分明的笔划之内,万千变幻的思绪之末,宣之于口的语句之中,不断温习熟练于心的技艺,延展广阔无疆的思绪,挥洒童真烂漫的天性。你们的每一分成长与进步,每一缕热情与热爱,都是所有神墨老师源源不绝的前进动力源泉。
Now, the epidemic situation in many places at home and abroad has stabilized, and many of you have returned to school. Even if there is a brief separation from the teacher, I hope you will not forget the good times you had in Shenmo and what you have learned and thought here. I hope that no matter where you are, you can continue to consolidate your skills in abacus mental math, painting, calligraphy, thinking and eloquence, expand your thoughts, and show your innocence. Every bit of your growth, progress and enthusiasm is the power that drives all Shenmo teachers to move forward.
而在今年的六月里,除了有属于你们的独特节日外,也还有另外一个极具意义的日子——在6月18日,神墨将要迎来自己24岁生日。
In June of this year, in addition to the festival dedicated to you, there is another very meaningful day - on June 18, Shenmo will celebrate its 24th birthday.
24岁于你们,或许很远,是一个遥未可及的数字,是一个天方夜谭的年纪。24岁于神墨,却犹如今天的你们,是新生伊始的成长,是年少初成的朝气,是昂扬蓬勃的青春,是无限可期的未来。
For you, 24 may be an unattainable age. For Shenmo, 24 years old is just like you of today, demonstrating the growth at the beginning of a new life, the vigor the young and the infinite future.
在神墨24年的旅程里,我与神墨全体老师,会常常心怀感激,能与你们何其有幸地相识相遇;我们也每每倍感珍惜,能与你们留下最为珍贵的共行足迹;我们更时时抱守期待,希望未来的日子里能见证你们更多的欢笑、成长与荣誉。
During the 24-year journey of Shenmo, all Shenmo teachers and I are always grateful for how lucky we are to meet you. We cherish the precious footprints we have left with you, and we always hope that we can witness more laughter, growth and honor from you in the days to come.
今天是六一儿童节,在这样一个快乐、温暖、充满关怀与爱意的日子里,我与全体神墨老师,以几分殷殷期待,几分切切祝福,几分绵绵热忱,希望你们在无限可期的人生里,寻得自己的方向,踏出轻快的脚步,探寻广阔的天地,缔造无垠的未来。
On such a happy, warm and loving day, I, together with all Shenmo teachers, would like to send you our earnest expectations and sincere blessings: we hope you will find your own direction, explore the wide world and create a boundless future in your promising life.
再次祝你们六一儿童节快乐!
Once again I wish you a happy Children's Day!
希望与你们再度见面的日子尽快来临!
Hope to see you again soon!
你们的“大朋友”李绵军
