最近,美國耶魯大學的「中國爺爺奶奶村」正風靡各大社交網路,這些爺爺奶奶的孩子大可能是在美留學的中國鑽研生或博士後。他們不遠萬¥裡去省親,閑暇裡還管管孫輩、做做家務、打打太極,甚至在社區的花園裡種起了菜!他們的到來使得耶魯大學北部一處雜草叢生的荒地上長滿了韭菜、香菜等美國百姓聞所未聞的蔬菜,讓米國人民大開了眼界~

A once-vacant city block at the northern edge of Yale University now teems with exotic herbs andvegetables, tended carefully by a community of graying people from China who are here to lookafter grandchildren as their own children cultivate careers at the Ivy League school. In the trellis-filled garden, a patchwork of small lots that are passed from family to family, they find friends, aroutine for daily life in new surroundings and familiar vegetables that are fresher than anything theyfind in local markets.

耶魯大學種菜?「中國爺爺奶奶村」風靡各大社交網路

【Key Points】

想一想也是很愜意的畫面,頭髮灰白的一群老年人(graying people)在目生的環境裡自給自足、自娛自樂,真讓人感到溫馨。

你曉得「老年人」英文還可以怎麼樣表達嗎?其實白叟還可以用:

aged/elderly people

senior citizens/group/generation

the old folks

細心瞧瞧,這是否最初被米國人民喊作Big apple的農作物呢?

好好灌溉,茁壯成長

不僅會種菜,還會打太極~

被單,衣服拿來曬~

其樂融融的家庭觀,即使有文化衝突,但耶魯也確定了這樣的氛圍~大爺大媽棒棒噠
