最美的时候你遇见了谁――张小娴
世界上只有两种可以称之为浪漫的情感
一种叫相濡以沫,另一种叫相忘于江湖
和次爱的人相忘于江湖
只是有缘无份,情深缘浅,
我们爱在不对的时间
回首往事的时候,
想起那些如流星般划过生命的爱情。
我们常常会把彼此的错过归咎为缘份,
其实说到底,
缘份是么虚幻抽象的一个概念,
真正影响我们的,
往往就是那一时三刻相遇与相爱的时机,
男女之间的交往,
充满了犹疑忐忑的不确定
与欲言又止的矜持,
一个小小的变数,
就可以完全改变选择的方向
也许就不会和另一个人十指紧扣,
又或者相遇的再晚一点,
晚到两个人在各自的爱情经历中
慢慢地学会了包容与体谅,
善待和妥协,
也许走到一起的时候,
就不会那么轻易的放弃,
任性地转身,放走了爱情
在你深爱一个人的时候,谁又陪在你身边?
爱情到底给了你多少时间?
去相遇与分离,去选择与后悔?
不是不心动,不是不后悔,
但已经没有时间再去相拥,
如果爱一个人而无法在一起,
相爱却无法在适当的时候相遇,如果爱了,
却爱在不对的时候,
除了珍藏那一滴心底的泪,
无言的走远,又能有什么选择?
没有早一步也没有晚一步,
于千万人之中,去邂逅自己的爱人,
那是太难得的缘份,更多的时候,
我们只是在彼此不断地错过,
错过杨花飘风的春,
又错过了枫叶瑟索的秋,
直到漫天白雪,年华不再,
在一次次的心酸感叹之后,
才能终于了解――即使真挚,
即使亲密,即使两个人都已是心有戚戚,
我们的爱,依然需要时间来成全和考验
这样那样的限制与隐秘的禁忌,
又有太多难以预测的变故
和身不由已的离合,
一个转身,也许就已经一辈子错过,
要到很多年以后,
才会参透所有的争取与努力,
也许还抵不过命运开的一个玩笑,
上帝只在云端眨了一眨眼,
所有的结局,就都已经完全改
在对的时间,遇见错的人,是一种悲伤
在错的时间,遇见对的人,是一声叹息
在错的时间,遇见错的人,是一种无奈
回忆的花瓣掠过心湖,泛起片片涟漪,
爱不是千言万语,也不是朝朝暮暮,
爱是每当午夜梦醒时,
发现内心牵挂的依然是远方的你

一个唯美的宣传片:“另一个美丽的世界”。
序言
转角发现爱,那是因为爱无所不在;
转身发现美丽,那是因为美丽就在身边。
法国著名雕塑家罗丹说,"生活中不是缺少美,而是缺少发现美的眼睛。"
"另一个美丽的世界"。
这是一项公益性质的教育文化交流活动;
这是一项由武汉大学WTO学院学生和湖北省教育厅资教生联合发起的面向中国农村中学的教育文化交流活动;
这是一项以武汉大学在校生、武汉瑞中语言文化学校、在汉的法国教师和农村中学学生为参与主体的中法教育文化交流活动;
这是一项受到法国驻武汉总领馆和湖北省教育厅高度赞誉并深度参与的中法教育文化交流活动;
这是一项得到武汉大学校方、武汉大学WTO学院、武汉瑞中教育集团和湖北省联合国教科文组织协会等机构在精神和物资上极大支持帮助的中法教育文化交流活动。
简单地说,"另一个美丽的世界"是这样发现美丽的。
每年,活动的志愿者----武汉大学学子和在汉工作学习的法国朋友怀着理想和热情,走进中国湖北的农村中学。我们带去募捐到的丰富的图书,开阔孩子们的课外视野;举办各种展览,传播悠久灿烂的法国文化;开展外语课堂,孩子们有生第一次感受外教教学;我们和他们聊天做游戏,拉近心的距离。同年,活动志愿者还邀请农村学子来到武汉,陪同他们游览中国最美的大学校园―武汉大学,行走在江城,体验城市之美;陪同他们参观湖北省博物馆,感受博大精深的中国文化……所有这些,只是希望能为他们推开一扇窗,让他们看到、感受到在他们的美丽家园之外,还有"另一个美丽的世界";同时期望藉由我们微薄的力量激发他们的无限潜能,继而创造属于他们自己的美丽世界。
活动的志愿者----来自珞珈山麓的天之骄子、来自塞纳河畔的法国友人,走进简陋的乡村中学,走进湖北的普通乡镇,走进阡陌纵横的中国水墨山水。在我们给予付出的同时,看到孩子们好奇求知的眼睛、天真无邪的笑脸,体会他们乐观向上的精神、触碰他们纯净感恩的心灵……所有这些,让我们的灵魂也受到几许震撼,心灵多添几分感动。"另一个美丽的世界"也在这里,在我们的无穷发现里。
"另一个美丽的世界"的足印
2005年10月 活动发起人之一--武汉大学WTO学院2005级学生刘柳吟萌生了发起一项立足民间的中法文化交流活动的美丽梦想
2006年3月 活动发起人之一--华中师范大学2006级硕士研究生瞿嵩明带领一位外籍教师走进湖北广水李店中心中学,从此开始对"另一个美丽世界"的追寻

我们想走得更远,我们想做得更多。
"另一个美丽的世界"是一棵小树,枝头已发几丝新绿。我们梦想着这棵小树一天天承接着阳光雨露,会扎根大地枝繁叶茂,成为这美丽世界的美丽一景。
一本书籍、一组文具、一片心意、一些关注……已然足够。
这激情已经点燃!
这梦想需要你我来传递,这美丽会因你我而延续。
二 耕耘和收获
法国驻武汉总领事馆捐赠了百余册书籍,总领事费勇先生和两任文化教育专员达保罗先生和刘佩华女士分别全程参与了第一届和第二届活动。做为外国驻华使节,现任文化教育专员刘佩华女士认为这样的活动不仅能让法国人近距离了解中国农村基础教育的现状,还为中法文化教育交流开辟了一条全新的令人感动的渠道。
武汉大学校长顾海良教授欣然为活动题词"求真求善求美求实",对志愿者寄予殷殷希望。武汉大学WTO学院更是在各种资源上给与大力支持,主管学生工作的宋小春副院长认为,这样的活动不仅能促进中法文化教育领域的交流,还能让大学生通过多种形式的社会实践活动,关注了解民生,进而激发他们的社会责任意识,更好地完成在校学业。
湖北省教育厅"农村教师资助行动计划"管理处室干部人事处的官员认为活动不仅让更广泛层面的人们对中国农村基础教育和扎根农村乡镇教育的资教生给与关注,还能为广大农村中学的学生带来一个美好的瞬间,引发他们对远方未知世界的好奇和向往,进而成为一种他们创造美好未来的原动力。
……
更多的,是来自湖北省文化教育系统的志愿者团体和个人,包括武汉大学、华中科技大学、华中师范大学、华中农业大学、瑞中语言文化学校、武汉市第十一中学、武汉市外国语学校等教育机构的中外籍教师和学生,用持久的爱心和责任心真诚帮助农村中学的学生,在活动过程中磨练了意志和能力,收获了成长和友谊。
三 结束语
梦想 激情 行动 坚持(谢武 写于2007年11月)
2005年10月的某个晚上,武大理学院大楼门前平台上,一个年轻人兴奋坚定的对我说,他有一个美丽的梦想,希望能够在赴法学习之前干成一件促进中法民间文化交流的有意义的活动。这个年轻人就是这个活动的发起人之一,武大WTO学院中法国际班的学生刘柳吟。夜幕下,他的眼睛里似乎落满了一天的星光,闪烁而晶亮,我想那一定就是梦想的光芒。
我对他说,梦想越美丽,实现梦想的道路就一定越艰辛。美丽梦想的背后是许许多多的汗水和泪水,是层出不穷的意外和困难。你看我们眼前樱花大道上来往的人们,他们肯定都曾经怀揣不同的梦想,而现实却是更多人渐渐淡忘了自己的梦想,而让它最终成为了青春书页中一张用于缅怀过往的褪色书签。你如果有这么一个美丽而有意义的梦想,那就请一定珍惜它并实现它吧!我愿意和你一起努力,和所有有梦想的人一起努力,把这份美丽的梦想变成现实!
十四个月的行动和坚持,那个年轻人和他的伙伴们一起将一个美丽的梦想变为了现实,那就是我们今天所看到和感受到的"另一个美丽的世界"国际文化教育交流活动。
我还记得第一届活动的当天,虽然现场寒风呼啸一片萧瑟,但是每个人的脸上都洋溢着热情诚挚的欢笑,每个人的眼睛里都闪动着快乐欣喜的光芒,每个人的心里都沸腾着久违的激情和感动。法国朋友们都觉得非常震撼,如果不是身临其境,他们怎么可能想象得到在中国美丽繁华的城市盛景背后还有这样简陋粗糙但纯朴可爱的中国民情呢。
而尤其让我不能忘怀的是那些久居乡村未出过远门的孩子们,他们的神情是那么羞涩但又那么兴奋,他们的快乐是那么真实而又那么令人动容。这个活动给他们打开了一扇窗,让他们意识到原来还有一个这样不同以往却又真实存在的美丽新世界!如果这份美丽能够成为他们人生中向上的动力,甚至哪怕仅仅只是一份美好而新奇的回忆,他们的小世界一定会更加丰沛和美丽,而我们的这个大世界才会距离我们心中渴求的美丽更进一步,这应该也是这个梦想最为美好的意义所在了。
做为这个年轻人的师长、朋友和他的梦想的见证人,我有幸看到了一个梦想实现的全过程。在那么多的沮丧,挫折,困难和辛苦之后,是更强大的坚守,忍耐,热情和执著,这些让这条路途本身就充满了激励的光芒。我被这个美丽的梦想新世界感动着、激励着,我也会用我的努力将这份美丽继续下去,传播开去。
对我们每个人来说,梦想从来都是得之不易的,激情从来都是弥足珍贵的。然而短暂的激情是廉价的,只有持久的行动和坚持才能给我们带来持久的快乐和成功,才能延续激情实现梦想。
让我们一起携手,来创造和实现属于我们每个人的"另一个美丽的世界"吧!

Rayzone学伴对外汉语教育产品教学理念和教学方法概述
The teaching concept and method of Rayzone学伴Chinese education products
(中英文对照版)
一直以来,汉语普通话和中文被认为是世界上最难教、最难学的语言和文字!
Chinese mandarin and Chinese Characters have long been taken as the most difficult language and characters to teach and to learn in the world.
近代以来,由于国家积贫积弱,导致中国自己的文字学研究和教育传统基本被取消,而盲目学习西方的语言学理论,特别是索绪尔《普通语言学》为代表的,即建立在表音文字基础上的一整套形式主义规则体系,成为指导中文教学的基本原则。正是这种外来语言学理论的应用,导致了"最难教、最难学"的灾难。
Since modern times, the poverty and weakness of China led to the almost abolishment of the research on Chinese characters as well as the educational traditions and meanwhile imitating western linguistic theories, especially Saussure's General Linguistics, the set of formula system on the base of phonetic symbols, became the basic principle to instruct Chinese teaching. It is the application of these foreign linguistic theories that make Chinese mandarin and Chinese Characters the most difficult to teach and to learn in the world.
早在两千多年前,中国文字学家就认识到语言和文字的区别,即文字本身就不是记录语言的符号,而是直接表意。汉字并不是拼音文字,是一种非形态的、以形表意的文字体系,汉字的形体不表示汉语的语音。1967年,法国哲学家雅克.德里达,以及英国哲学家哈里斯,对传统的"普通语言学"提出质疑,并确立了语言和文字两者间的严格界限。
As early as more than 2000 years ago, Chinese experts on characters realized the difference between language and characters, namely, character is a direct expression more than a symbol to record language. Character is a non-formula character system with its form expressing its meaning not the phonetic sound , totally different from Pinyin. In 1967, Jacques Derrida, a French philosopher, together with Harris, an English philosopher, brought challenge to the traditional "General Linguistics", and set up a strict limit between language and characters.
20世纪90年代以来,国内诸多有识之士开始系统反思。其中,以北京语言大学张朋朋教授提出的"语文分开,语先文后,语文互进,集中识字"教学法,经过实践,最为有效。事实证明,汉语和英语一样易教易学,中文则相对于英文、法文更容易掌握。
Since the 1990s, a number of scholars have begun with systematic reflection. The teaching methodology of "separating the teaching of Chinese language listening and speaking from Chinese characters reading and writing; Chinese language listening and speaking prior to Chinese characters reading and writing; Chinese language listening and speaking interact with Chinese characters reading and writing; characters intensive", proposed by Zhang Pengpeng, professor of Beijing Language University, is the most effective through practice. It turns out that Chinese is as easy as English to teach and to learn and easier to master in comparison with English and French.
瑞中集团(Rayzone Group)在与近30所国外院校合作过程中,一直在探索、总结对外汉语的教学经验,并取得良好的效果。
Rayzone Group has been exploring and summing up experience in teaching Chinese as a foreign language and achieved a lot in the cooperation with nearly 30 foreign universities.
1、Rayzone学伴对外汉语教育产品的开发(教学与学习)理念:语文分离,语先文后,语文互动,情境教学。
即将听说汉语普通话和读写汉字按照各自的规律分开学习,先掌握部分听说汉语普通话再开始学习汉字识读写,学习听说汉语普通话的同时注意建立拼音与汉字的联系并初步学习,最后开始单独的集中学习中文汉字(此时不再学习拼音)。在整个学习过程中,力争使用高新技术手段再造一个真实的语言、文字学习环境。
1.The developing(teaching and learning) concept of Rayzone学伴Chinese education products: Separating the teaching of Chinese language listening and speaking from Chinese characters reading and writing; Chinese language listening and speaking prior to Chinese characters reading and writing; Chinese language listening and speaking interact with Chinese characters reading and writing; situational teaching.
In other words, it refers to separating the learning of Chinese language listening and speaking from Chinese characters reading and writing in accordance with their rules, mastering part of Chinese language listening and speaking prior to Chinese characters reading and writing, establishing the connection between Pinyin and characters in process of learning Chinese language, and focusing on learning characters intensively at last (without learning Pinyin any more). In the whole learning process, try to rebuild a real language and character learning environment with new and hi-tech means.
2、对于语言(即汉语普通话)学习,强调"情境再造、录音还原、集中识句、实用至上"。
研究发现,"文字是记录语言的符号"这一传统理论是错误的。记录中国人口头交流语言的是录音。因此,力争通过高技术手段,再造每一个汉语普通话交际情境,并还原口头交流的录音,让学习者在交际情境中集中识句,而且都是非常实用的常用汉语交际句,使学习者在类似现实中自然的习得汉语普通话。正是由于高技术手段的使用,实现了梦寐以求的"语言情境教学",还原了汉语教学的本来面目。
2.For language (Chinese mandarin) learning, "situation reconstruction; recording restoration; sentence intensive; practicality supreme" is emphasized.
Research indicates that the traditional theory of "character is the symbol to record language" is incorrect. It is recording that records the oral communication among Chinese people. Therefore, try to take use of hi-tech means to reconstruct every Chinese language communication situation and restore the recording to make learners learn sentences intensively, especially the commonly used Chinese sentences and master Chinese language naturally in situations similar to the real. The usage of hi-tech means makes "language situation teaching" come true and Chinese teaching resumed.
3、对于文字(即中文汉字)学习,强调"构件组字、触类旁通、识读写用、学以致用"。
汉字是由有限的构件组成的,而且这些构件存在着规律,汉字具有构词性,有限的汉字构成无限的词,知道字音可以读出词音,知道字义便于理解词义。将构件进行分类,从构件和独体字开始学习,再学习高频字,再学习句篇,使学习者能触类旁通。同时,通过高技术手段,科学模拟"纸、笔"书写环境,让学习者先学后练,并通过书写输入,学以致用。正是由于高技术手段的使用,实现了汉字教学识读写用一体化。
3.For characters (Chinese characters) learning, "components composing characters; comprehending by analogy; recognizing, reading, writing as well as using; putting into practice" is emphasized.
Chinese characters are composed by limited components and rules exist among components, and limited characters compose unlimited words. If you know the pronunciation of characters, you can read the words composed by them. Classify the components, begin learning with the components and single characters, and then the frequently used characters, and the lecture to make learners comprehend by analogy. At the same time, take use of hi-tech means to simulate scientifically the authentic writing environment of "paper and pen" to help learners study first and then practise, and put what they have learnt into practice through handwriting input. It is the usage of hi-tech means that integrates the teaching, recognizing, reading, and writing of Chinese characters together.
4、Rayzone学伴对外汉语教育产品技术实现方法。
同时,结合语音识别、手写识别、语音合成、计算机实时评测反馈纠正、软硬件网络一体化、动漫制作等先进计算机技术,形成了一批诸如"虚拟外教式的互动教学"、"寓教于乐的动漫游戏教学"、"模拟真实纸笔书写环境的汉字书写教学"等具有自主知识产权的教学方法。
4.The technology achievement methods of Rayzone学伴Chinese education products.
Meanwhile, integrate such advanced computer techniques as speech recognition, handwriting recognition, speech synthesis, computer real-time assessment feedback and correction, software and hardware network integration, animation production, etc. to form a number of teaching methods with independent intellectual property like "virtual foreign teacher interactive teaching", "cartoon games teaching with instruction in amusement " and "Chinese characters writing teaching with virtual writing tools".
