8月3日晚，游学团抵达了美国波士顿。4日早上，我们前往第一个景点——哈佛大学。On the evening of August 3rd, the tour group arrived in Boston, USA. On the morning of 4th, we went to the first attraction - Harvard University.哈佛大学，坐落于美国马萨诸塞州剑桥市，是一所享誉世界的私立研究型大学，其在文学、医学、法学、商学等多个领域拥有崇高的学术地位及广泛的影响力，被公认为是当今世界最顶尖的高等教育机构之一。哈佛同时也是美国本土历史最悠久的高等学府，其诞生于1636年。Harvard University, located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is a world-renowned private research university, in the literature, medicine, law, business and other fields have a high academic status and a wide range of influence, is recognized as one of the worlds top institutions of higher education. Harvard is also the oldest institution of higher education in the United States, which was born in 1636.

我们参观的是哈佛的主校园，包括图书馆、语言系、科技馆、学生宿舍、食堂等。在科技馆中存放着的世界上第一台电子计算机吸引了同学们的注意。We visited Harvards main campus, including the library, language department, science and technology museum, student dormitories, cafeteria and so on.

参观完哈佛大学后，我们去参观了另一座著名的大学院——麻省理工学院。麻省理工学院创立于1861年，在第二次世界大战后，麻省理工学院借由美国国防科技研究需要而迅速崛起；在二战和冷战期间，麻省理工学院的研究人员对计算机、雷达以及惯性导航系统等科技发展作出了重要贡献。After visiting Harvard University, we went to visit another famous college - Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Massachusetts Institute of Technology was founded in 1861, after the Second World War, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology rised with the need of the US defense science and technology research ;during World War II and the Cold War, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers on computers, Inertial navigation systems and other scientific and technological development has made important contributions.我们参观的是麻省理工学院的中央校区。沿着一条走廊往里走，两边就是世界顶尖学府的学子、老师及学生实验室，必然会让人沉浸在深厚的学术气氛当中。相信在游历了这两所世界一流学府后期，同学们一定会更加努力的学校，尽最大努力向这两座学府进发。We visited the Massachusetts Institute of Technologys central campus. Walking along a corridor, both sides of the worlds top institutions of the students, teachers and student laboratories, will inevitably make people immersed in the deep academic atmosphere. I believe that in the late travel of these two world-class institutions, students will be more efforts of the school, make the greatest efforts to the two institutions embarked.

下午，我们开始了在波士顿市区的旅行。In the afternoon, we started a trip to the downtown of Boston.我们首先参观的是科普利广场。这里有新英格兰最高的建筑约翰·汉考克大厦。这座大厦由著名华裔建筑师贝聿铭设计，共63层，高241米，是波士顿最高的建筑。它的外墙全部用浅兰色的镜面玻璃，大厦宛如一面巨大的明镜，耸立在城市的中心，阳光在镜面上折射反照，时移景异，变幻无穷，呈现出一派奇妙的景观。We first visited Copley Square. Here is the tallest building in New England - John Hancock Building. The building is designed by the famous Chinese architect IM Pei, it has a total of 63 layers, 241 meters high, is the tallest building in Boston. Its facade all with light blue mirror glass, the building is like a huge mirror, stands in the center of the city, the sun in the mirror refraction, when the landscape is different, changing, showing a wonderful landscape.图为约翰·汉考克大厦The picture shows John Hancock Building

在约翰·汉考克旁边，就是三一教堂。三一教堂在约翰·汉考克大厦的玻璃幕墙上映出的完整的镜像，被称作“楼中楼”。非常遗憾的是，当我们到达时，三一教堂正处于装修状态中，所以我们只能看到其上半部分。Next to John Hancock, it is the Trinity Church. Trinity Church in the John Hancock building glass curtain wall reflected the complete mirror, known as the "building in the building" It is very regrettable that when we arrived, Trinity Church is in the decoration state, so we can only see the upper half.

参观完科普利广场后，我们来到了波士顿公园。在这里，我们找到了一条由红砖拼成的小路——自由之路。自由之路是由若干排红砖在道路中间拼出的小径，每排只有两块红砖。这条小径出现在波士顿市区的各个景点，而波士顿公园就是它的起点。After visiting Copley Square, we came to Boston Park. Here, we found a road made up of red bricks - the road of freedom. The road offreedom is by a number of red bricks in the middle of the road to spell out the trail, each row only two red bricks. This trail appears in various attractions in downtown Boston, while Boston Park is its starting point.

当地时间8月6日上午，我们来到了耶鲁大学。耶鲁大学是一所坐落于美国康涅狄格州纽黑文的世界著名私立研究型大学，最初由康涅狄格州公理会教友于1701年创立，1716年迁至康涅狄格州的纽黑文。

On August 6 morning local time , we came to Yale University. Yale University is a world-renowned private research university based in New Haven, Connecticut, originally founded in 1701 by the Connecticut Commons, and moved to New Haven, Connecticut, in 1716.耶鲁大学是美国东北部老牌名校联盟“常青藤联盟的成员，也是八所常春藤盟校中最重视本科教育的大学之一。作为美国最具影响力的私立大学之一，耶鲁大学是美国历史上建立的第三所大学，其本科学院与哈佛大学、普林斯顿大学本科生院齐名，历年来共同角逐美国大学本科生院美国前三名的位置，位列2016-17年US News美国大学本科排名第3（与芝加哥大学并列）。耶鲁大学共走出了5位美国总统、19位美国最高法院大法官、16位亿万富翁。Yale University is a member of the Ivy League League, a member of the Ivy League, which is one of the most influential private universities in the United States.

The establishment of the third university, its undergraduate college and Harvard University, Princeton University undergraduate par, over the years to compete for the United States University of the top three places in the United States, ranked 2016-17 years US News American University ranked first 3 (tied to the University of Chicago). Yale University out of five US presidents, 19 US Supreme Court Justice, 16 billionaire.

为了使建筑显得老旧，采用了在石质墙面上泼酸、故意打破玻璃并且使用中世纪的方法补合，并且还人为的添加了许多空的装饰性壁龛，仿佛雕塑已经失落很久。

In order to make the building look old, the architect splashed acid on the stone walls, deliberately broke the glass and used the medieval method of complement, and also artificially added many empty decorative niches, as if the sculpture has been lost for a long time.

著名耶鲁女校友兼建筑师林璎特别赠给母校一个大理石做成的“女人桌”，以见证耶鲁女性自始以来的奋斗史。在桌面上，她精心设计了一连串的年代和相对的女生人数。

Famous Yale girl alumni and architect Maya Lin donated to her alma mater a marble made "Womens Table" to witness Yale women since the beginning of the history of struggle. On the table, she designed a series of years and the relative number of girls.

年代与数目全都在桌面上很规则地呈螺旋状显露出来，但桌中心不断涌出的泉水使得字迹若隐若现，别有一种美感。

The age and the number of all on the desktop is very regular to the spiral was revealed, but the spring that the table center constantly pour makes the writing looming with beauty.

Beinecke古籍善本图书馆由Gordon Bunshaft设计，是当今世界上最大的专门收藏古籍善本的图书馆。图书馆地面以上六层的书库由一个玻璃的立方体环绕，而玻璃立方的外面则有一个更大的与之不接触的“盒子”罩住。这座建筑的墙壁是由两英尺见方的产自佛蒙特州的半透明大理石构成，因此可以使馆内微亮而防止阳光中的其他有害射线破坏馆藏图书。

The Beinecke Library is designed by Gordon Bunshaft and is the largest collection of rare books in the world today. The library above six floors of the library is surrounded by a glass cube, while the glass cube has a larger "box" that does not touch it. The walls of the building are made of two feet of translucent marble from Vermont, so that it can make the museum slightly bright and prevent other harmful rays in the sun from breaking the library.

当地时间8月6日下午，我们来到了我们将进行学习交流的学校——启培高中。

Local time on the afternoon of August 6, we came to the school we will be learning exchange - Chapel Field Christian School.

Then we went to our host family. Every 2-4 studentswere assigned to a family, classmates and homestay families shared dinner, breakfast, full understood of American daily life, understood of American culture.

在接下来的5天内，每天上午寄宿家庭的家长们都会送同学们来学校。在7日、9日、11日的上午，我们会接受ESL美式英语课程。

课程围绕“听、说、读、写”四大方面展开。

The course revolves around the four aspects of "listening, speaking, reading and writing".

在第一堂课上，同学们轮流围绕一个话题在其余同学面前进行即兴演讲，这是“说”的练习；随后，我们在老师的安排下演了一场情景剧，并笔答问题，进行“写”的练习。

In the first class, the students took turns to improvise speeches in front of the rest of the students around a topic, this is the practice of"talking" ; then, the teachers arrangedus toarrange a scene drama, andanswered some problems, this is the "writing" practice.

在第二堂课上，我们分小组行动，每人背后贴了一张卡通故事小片，要在不能看到自己背后的小片的情况下，通过阅读理解和交流，把小片拼成一个完整的故事，这是“读”和“说”的练习；随后我们拿到了一份关于热狗的文章，作阅读的练习。

In the second class, we worked in groups, each personhad a small piece of a cartoon story pastedon the back ofhimself, the students should put the pieces into a complete story by reading comprehension and communication without seeing their own pieces, which is "reading" and "speaking" the practice; then we got an article about the hot dog, for reading exercises.

在第三堂课上，我们做了一段听力练习：老师和助手念一段对话，我们听后回答其中的问题；随后，我们玩了一个单词游戏：从一些名词中选择与一个形容词最搭配的，这个游戏有利于提升单词量；最后，我们拿到一幅没有对白的卡通故事，分小组行动，完成一场情景剧。在最后这堂课上，另外有一群法国的学生也加入了课堂，我们共同完成情景剧。
In the third class, we did a listening exercise: the teacher and the assistant read a dialogue, we listened to it and answered some questions;then we played a word game:find out the noun that matched an adjective best from some of them,this game is helpful in improving our vocabulary； at last, we got a cartoon story with no dialogue , worked in group toput ona scene drama. In the last class, another group of French students also joined the class, and we completed the drama together.

在这几次课程中，老师特别重视让我们能说英语，而我们也尽力用纯英语来表达自己的观点，整个课堂既生动有趣，由不失严谨，我们在欢乐中提升了英语水平。

In these courses, the teacher attaches great importance to let us speak English, and we also try to use pure English to express our points of view, the whole classroom is both lively and interesting, without losing rigor, we in the joy to enhance the level of English.

每天结束学校的活动后，寄宿家庭的家长们就会接我们回寄宿家庭。我们居住的地方属于郊外，房屋都是别墅，每家都有花园，草木丛生，十分安逸，有时可以在房屋后的森林里看到鹿群。这里的人们出行几乎只开车，路上几乎看不到行人，开车时畅通无阻，除了支路的车到路口时要避让主干道的车外，几乎不会大幅减速。

After the end of the school activitives every day, the parents of the host family will pick us back home. We live in the suburbs, houses are villas, each have a garden, the vegetationwas thriving and we werevery comfortable, and sometimes we couldsee deers in the forest after the house. In this place ,people traveled by almost only driving, we almost could notsee pedestrians on the road , drivingwas unimpeded, except when driving to an intersection the cars on the branch way should avoid the car on the main road, there was almost no significant reduction.

在美国，宠物是人的忠实伴侣，笔者的寄宿家庭中每一位家庭成员都有各自的宠物。每天，养狗的女主人都会出去遛狗，而狗也不会随地大小便。

In the United States, the pet is a loyal companion, each member of my homestay family had their own pets. Every day, the dogs hostess would go out to walk the dog, and the dogwould not be anywhere urine.

笔者的寄宿家庭为笔者和其他三位同学提供了美味丰盛而有美国特色的早餐和晚餐。早餐有面包、炒蛋、香肠片、肉饼、培根等，还可以选择牛奶、茶、各种果汁等；晚餐有肉类（牛肉块，有时有鸡肉）、蔬菜（炒豆角、卷心菜、玉米粒等）、土豆泥、米饭等。美国的晚餐以肉食为主，牛肉块很大，需要用刀切成小块后再用叉子叉着吃。

The host family provided delicious and rich American breakfasts and dinners forme and other three students. For breakfast, therewerebread, scrambled eggs, sausage pieces, patties, bacon, etc.,we couldalso choose milk, tea, all kinds of fruit juice; dinner meat (beef, sometimes chicken), vegetables (fried beans, cabbage, corn Etc.), mashed potatoes, rice and so on. American dinnerwas mainly meat, the beef is very large, we need to cut it into small pieces with a knife and then fork to eat.

在吃完晚餐后，我们也会和寄宿家庭一起玩游戏，不仅提升了自己的英语，也体会了美国风情，增进了与寄宿家庭间的友谊。

After dinner, we played games with the host family, not only to enhanceour own English, but also toexperience the American style, enhance the friendship with the host family.

通过这几天的寄宿，我们了解了美国文化，增进了英语水平，更与寄宿家庭结下了深厚的友谊。
