The title of “Nanjing’s Most Popular Expat Event” was seized Saturday by The British School of Nanjing (BSN), when staggering numbers of people turned out for the school’s annual summer fair, on a perfect, pollution-free, spring day, that also saw a five-figure donation to charity.
周六,南京英国学校(BSN)夺取了“南京最受欢迎的外籍人士活动”的称号,当时在一个完美的、无污染的春天,人数惊人地参加了学校的年度夏季集市,还向慈善机构捐赠了五位数。
Being very, well, British, the school regularly host events such as its Bonfire Night each November, while its summer fair has also become a-now-annual Nanjing tradition amongst the international community, comprising family fun and entertainment, food and drink, live music and little contests of all kinds that help while away a splendid day in good company.
作为非常英国人,学校定期举办活动,如每年11月的篝火之夜,而其夏季博览会也已成为国际社会的年度南京传统,包括家庭娱乐、食品和饮料、现场音乐和各种小比赛,有助于在良好的陪伴下度过美好的一天。
With stalls taken (free of charge) by a eclectic array of vendors, including Thai massage, Indian tattoos, slime, flowers (for those last-minute Mother’s Day gifts), scented candles, children’s books, travel agents, doctors, real estate and removals, and all kinds of hospitality. Even this lowly publication had a table, complete with local magician, Mario, showing off delightful sleight-of-hand card tricks to the assembled throngs.
一系列折衷的供应商(免费)摊位,包括泰式按摩、印度纹身、粘液、鲜花(用于最后一分钟的母亲节礼物)、香薰蜡烛、儿童书籍、旅行社、医生、房地产和搬家,以及各种款待。 即使是这个卑微的出版物也有一张桌子,配有当地魔术师马里奥,向聚集的人群展示令人愉快的手艺纸牌技巧。
Elsewhere, in the “Great BSN Bake Off”, parents and children entered over 30 home-made cakes in three separate categories; Primary School, Senior School and Adults. After being sampled by the judges, who included “Master Chef Italy” finalist Fe Fiochetti, cake left overs were sold off to fair visitors, again all for a good cause.
在其他地方,在“Great BSN Bake Off”中,家长和孩子在三个不同的类别中输入了30多个自制蛋糕;小学、高中和成人。 在被包括“意大利大厨”决赛选手Fe Fiochetti在内的评委抽样后,剩下的蛋糕被卖给了博览会的游客,同样都是为了一个好的事业。
Yet, the real fun of the fair was to be had with the many games taking place both inside and outside in the glorious sunshine, including, guess the name of the teddy bear (Mr. Bunny Tail), the number of balloons in the principal’s car (185), or the weight of Biscuit the rabbit (3.4kg).
然而,博览会的真正乐趣在于在灿烂的阳光下,在室内和室外进行许多游戏,包括,猜猜泰迪熊(兔子尾巴先生)的名字,校长车里的气球数量(185),或兔子饼干的重量(3.4公斤)。
In The Valley, BSN’s large, wooded area dedicated to outdoor learning, there was also the chance to get some golf practice in, while last but not least, there was that hit with the adults; win a bottle of water… or wine, and every schoolchild’s favourite that is Soak the Teacher!
在山谷,BSN致力于户外学习的大型林区,还有机会进行一些高尔夫练习,最后但并非最不重要的是,有成年人的热门活动;赢得一瓶水……或葡萄酒,以及每个学童最喜欢的是Soak the Teacher!
All in all, 1,642 visitors attended the 2019 BSN Summer Fair, a number far exceeding any in previous years. The school topped off all the monies raised by the various stalls and games to make a donation of ¥10,000, split evenly between the charities, Hopeful Hearts and the Pfrang Association.
总共有1642名参观者参加了2019年BSN夏季博览会,远远超过了前几年的人数。 学校用尽了各种摊位和游戏筹集的所有资金,捐赠了10,000日元,由慈善机构、希望之心和Pfrang协会平均分配。
A final, special mention, is deserved by one young BSN student, Oliver Peralta, who raised an additional ¥1,700 by selling “Panda Pops”, with the funds going to Panda Conservation.
最后,一位年轻的BSN学生Oliver Peralta当之无愧,他通过出售“Panda Pops”额外筹集了1700日元,资金用于熊猫保护。
