在明媚的春光里，鄭州市第四十七中學教育集團葉小耀校長看望了巴基斯坦籍外教Muniba一家，給她的孩子們送去了他們最愛的足球，孩子們也給敬愛的校長伯伯回贈了自己精心制作的感謝卡。葉小耀校長說，“中巴之間具有‘鐵桿’情誼。你們的總統阿爾維剛剛訪問了中國，兩國人民在共同應對新冠肺炎疫情和蝗蟲災害過程中，同舟共濟、守望相助，涌現出數不勝數的友好佳話。疫情防控期間，學校始終牽掛著你們，保障你們的安全和健康，也希望你們把鄭州市第四十七中學教育集團當做自己的家。”

Muniba,是鄭州市第四十七中學教育集團中新班的一名外教。“我親眼目睹了一個最優秀的國家，一個值得所有贊揚和榮耀的國家，一個生來就要崛起的國家的團結、智慧、勇氣、不屈、犧牲和信念。地球上沒有任何一種力量，沒有任何人，能夠動搖她的根基”，說出這番話的人也正是她。寒假期間，她一家人一直留在鄭州，親歷了新型冠狀病毒疫情的爆發和防控。疫情無情人有情，學校給予了她一家無微不至的關心和照顧。下面讓我們一同讀讀疫情期間她和家人的故事吧！

鄭州市第四十七中學教育集團外教Muniba Batool

The sudden outbreak of the novel Coronavirus was as traumatic for me as it could be for any other individual. The virus was contemporary, unique in its kind and the impact was widespread. It was mid-January when I received a voice note from a Chinese co-teacher to cancel all unnecessary trips and avoid exposure to the outside world, but only if it was inevitable. It caused an understandable panic and distress as I started to watch countless news reports and read as much as I could about the novel Coronavirus. The fear of contracting the virus haunted me through the nights and I suffered an acute insomnia in early days of the outbreak.

新型冠狀病毒的突然爆發對我和其他任何人都有著心理的創傷。這種病毒在同類病毒中是獨一無二的，其影響波及甚廣。一月中旬，我就收到了學校國際部的提醒，要我取消所有不必要的旅行。當我開始觀看無數的新聞報道，閱讀相關文章時，感染病毒的恐懼整夜縈繞著我，在疫情爆發的初期，我甚至一度失眠。

國際部及時向外教進行宣傳教育并統計健康報表

I lived on campus with my kids, and as the lockdown imposed, the hardest part was to relief their reactant boredom. Therefore, we established a bit of a routine and tried to be more productive to break the monotony. The disease spread and caused more deaths in China, and the government amplified precautionary measures. The struggle was real, I must say, and so was the fear. We were advised by the school representatives to be cautious beyond normal and register our body temperatures every day. They were there for me, to answer all my queries and lessen all my anxieties. There wasn’t a day when we were not taken care of. They always talked positive and firmly believed that the country had the potential to fight off all kinds of evil.

我和孩子們住在學校里。為保證安全，學校實行了封閉式管理，所以最困難的事情就是緩解孩子們的無聊。因此，在自行隔離的日子里，我們建立了一些常規活動來打破單調。該疾病在中國傳播并造成更多死亡的階段，政府加大了預防措施。我必須說，斗爭是真實的，恐懼也是真實的。學校的所有領導都建議我們要格外小心，每天我們都要上報體溫等健康數據，學校還給家里送來了緊缺的口罩、消毒液等防疫物資。他們始終在那里，從精神上陪伴著我們，回答我所有的問題，減緩我所有的焦慮。我們沒有一天不受到照顧，沒有一天不被關心呵護。他們談起疫情防控總是很樂觀，堅信中國有能力與各種困難作斗爭。遇到疫情是不幸的，然而幸運的是我身在中國，身在鄭州市第四十七中學教育集團！一個微笑，可以溫暖整個寒冬；一次話語，可以激勵低谷人生；一次幫助，可以渡人苦海；一個舉措，可以驅散心頭霧霾。歲月清淺，美好猶存；人生無恙，感恩擁有！

學校相關部門給外教送溫暖

在校園的外教一家

I was astounded by the visionary measures taken by the government at provincial levels, and how the doctors served heroically jeopardising their lives across the country. The school administration, without a doubt, took great initiatives. They established a virtual platform to resume teaching practices and ensured a smooth learning environment. A designated teacher helped me access and manipulate the E- learning platform which was again a wonderful opportunity to enhance my teaching abilities. It was the time to hold back fears and move ahead with great intensity.

我被中國政府所采取的富有遠見的措施，以及中國醫生們義無反顧的獻身精神所震驚。毫無疑問，學校管理部門也采取了積極行動，以減少疫情所帶來的損失。為落實教育部門提出的“停課不停學”的要求，中國多數學校使用了釘釘平臺來進行網絡教學，確保師生擁有一個共享、安穩的學習環境。學校里有專人幫助我注冊、下載這個APP,并教會我所有的操作流程，這又是一個很好的機會來提高我的教學能力。現在是時候抑制恐懼，以極大的熱情向前邁進了。

外教為網上教學備課

The virus has seen its peak and we have entered the decline phase now. The dazzling Sun feels so warm now, the wilted branches have started to bloom, the air is full of the floral essence, and Zhengzhou no.47 stands un-yielded, sturdy and greatly convinced that the cure is approaching. 

目前疫情的蔓延已經被遏制。耀眼的太陽現在感覺是那么溫暖，枯萎的樹枝也開始綻放花蕾，空氣中彌漫著混合的花香，迷人極了！鄭州市第四十七中學教育集團，這個美麗的學校，這個播撒愛的地方，堅毅地站立著，如同一位智者，堅信疫情終將散去。

外教為中國加油

My eyes have witnessed the best nation, a nation that deserves praise and glory, a nation that is born to rise and there is no force on Earth that can shake its foundation, no matter how hard they try.

我親眼目睹了一個最優秀的國家，一個值得贊揚和榮耀的國家，一個生來就要崛起的國家的團結、智慧、勇氣、不屈、犧牲和信念。地球上沒有任何一種力量,沒有任何人能夠動搖她的根基！中國必勝！中國必強！
