　　大衛(wèi)考特爾

　　David Cotter grew up in Northern Ireland and Canada. He studied for his bachelor degree at the University of Calgary and went on to study for a master degree and a PHD in Trinity College, University of Dublin. He spent the next few years teaching in

 a variety of schools in Ireland and later giving lectures in Tsinghua University. He has also published a book on Irish writer, James Joyce. About three years ago David came to Beijing to set up a school. In the following article he describes this experience.

　　大衛(wèi)考特爾在北愛爾蘭和加拿大長(zhǎng)大。他在卡爾加里大學(xué)取得學(xué)士學(xué)位以后，前往都柏林大學(xué)圣三一學(xué)院求學(xué)，先后獲得了碩士和博士學(xué)位。此后幾年，他先后在愛爾蘭的許多學(xué)校從事教學(xué)工作，隨后又前往清華大學(xué)舉辦講座。他還出版過(guò)一本關(guān)于愛爾蘭作家詹姆斯喬伊斯的著作。大約在三年前，大衛(wèi)來(lái)到北京，成立了一所學(xué)校。在下面這篇文章中，他講述了自己的這一經(jīng)歷。

　　I have been in Beijing for almost three years. During this time, I have worked together with a very trusted and talented Chinese partner on establishing and managing Ai-Hua English. We have overcome many difficulties, and I am so proud of the product of our labour.

　　我來(lái)北京已經(jīng)差不多三年了。在這段時(shí)間里，我和一位非常值得信賴的、能干的中國(guó)伙伴建立起愛華英語(yǔ)學(xué)校，并一起從事著管理工作。我們克服了重重困難，對(duì)于我們的勞動(dòng)成果，我感到了無(wú)比自豪。

　　After arriving in China with this project in mind, we spent six months ascertaining the best way to set ourselves up legally. This was a time of long meetings at long elliptical tables, at which I could understand nothing of what was being said, followed by strange dinners with gallons of baijiu, at which I still understood nothing of what was being said, but nonetheless had opportunity to laugh and roar. I often felt very helpless at this time.

　　我們是懷著從事這個(gè)項(xiàng)目的想法來(lái)到中國(guó)的，之后，我們花了六個(gè)月的時(shí)間來(lái)確定如何才能最好地使我們的事業(yè)規(guī)范地建立起來(lái)。這段時(shí)間里，我們總是聚在橢圓型長(zhǎng)桌旁開著冗長(zhǎng)的會(huì)議，開完會(huì)后就是吃著備感生疏的飯菜不停地喝白酒，在長(zhǎng)桌旁別人都說(shuō)了什么我也是一點(diǎn)也聽不懂，吃喝時(shí)別人都說(shuō)了什么我也是一點(diǎn)也聽不懂，不過(guò)，即使是這樣，有時(shí)還是會(huì)開懷大笑一番的。這段時(shí)間，我經(jīng)常會(huì)產(chǎn)生無(wú)助感。

　　Eventually we succeeded in attaining a license from the ShiJingShan Department of Education, and opened our school in 5 of
