    迎新趣事(Having fun in Orientation)

    九月是开学的季节,中国和英国都一样(当然,对于九月一日出生的本人来说,同在九月不同的日子差别也很大,不过那也只是我个人的衰运罢了)。这两天应聘当了曼大负责迎接新生的Orientation Tutor - Purple People,虽然仍然只是宅在公共机房帮新生注册,不过能在帮到初到英国或者曼彻斯特的新生同志们的同时挣足两个月的房租,我也应该偷笑了。尤其是看到被“八大处十三陵”般的曼大校园和大英帝国的绅士淑女们毫不留情的子弹式英语整得晕头转向的国内90后ddmm们看到我像看到救星般的表情时,让人心里不由得油然而生“即使这是拿着最低工资被无良的学校当成廉价劳动力在使唤,这工作也干得值”的想法,何况同样的工作在国内还是免费的(同时要记住罪恶的英帝比天朝的学府们多收了你多少学费咬牙切齿)。

    迎新期间趣事还是不少,尤其是和初来乍到的中国学生之间,现摘录几则如下:
      
       1.某新生:“Are you Chinese?”
    Me:“Yes”
    某新生:“Can I speak Chinese?”
    Me:“Yes, of course”
    某新生:“呃……所以我们可以说中文吗?”
    Me:“当然了~!”

       2.某新生:“Are you Chinese?”
    Me:“Yes”
    某新生:“Where can I find water? I don't want coke.”
    Me:“I think you have to buy……矿泉水……我能说中文吗?”
    某新生:“当然可以……”

       3.某新生:“你是读硕士还是什么?”
    me:“博士。”
    某新生:“哦,看起来就像博士……”
    (此刻某心中暗爽:终于一雪常常被人当成本科生的前耻!)
    过了一会儿,还是该新生……
    新生:“你是学什么的?”
    Me:“计算机。”
    某新生:“哦,看起来就像计算机……系的
    Me:“……(黑线……老子在计算机系做了一年物理实验就长得像计算机系的了吗?)”

    当然最后大家的问题还是解决了,顺利跨过注册开学这个门槛,真心希望他们不管是读本科还是硕士(读博士的应该都有能力自己打理一切吧?反正我还没遇到博士生来求救的,可能也是人数比较少吧……),能在虽然有些阴冷、但还是不时会有阳光的曼城度过一段难忘而又充实的时光。

    其实这就是我想吐槽的事啊:现在跟人说话只要对方说英语就会不由自主的用英语回答,于是就陷入了第一个的怪圈;至于第二个,也是同样,结果我在要说到“mineral water”的时候想了一下这个词,这才意识到用中文根本不用想啊……其实我以前是学物理的,据说学物理的应该长成这个样子: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/view/45105/
