Dalhousie delegation gets personal with China 戴尔豪西大学的中国行 CYNDI SWEENEY Dalhousie University couldn’t be farther away for students from China to come and complete a degree. But that hasn’t stopped Dalhousie’s academic reputation from growing in China and students are migrating to the Maritimes to immerse themselves in the Dalhousie way of life. The university has been forging connections with China for over 30 years. It takes passion, commitment and bravery, according to Professor Keith Taylor, associate vice-president of academic. Taylor travelled to China with a delegation of academics in March, 2013. He spent almost two weeks visiting nine of Dalhousie’s 16 partner institutions; forging friendships, building new relationships and solidifying old ones. He’s been involved in Dalhousie’s joint study programs since 2006. “I think if I’ve counted the stamps properly in my passport, I’ve made 20 visits to China, some for less than a day. You don’t get jet-lag, you just get total exhaustion,” recalls the mathematics professor. “With all the institutions, we are honestly trying to take advantage of the relationship to get value for both partners,” says Taylor, who visited Xiamen University, a long-time partner of Dalhousie with research connections in marine law and chemistry. “It’s a wonderful place to study,” says Taylor. Dalhousie secured its first joint curricular activity with China back in the early 1980’s. Since then, the number of students enrolling in the 2+2 program has exploded. The program enables stu-

dents to study for two years in a partner university in China and then come to Dalhousie for the remaining two years to complete their degree. With less students graduating from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick universities, Dalhousie recognises the benefit of students enrolling from more than 100 countries worldwide and partner universities like Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University and Nanjing University. Asa Kachan, assistant vice-president for enrolment, says the total number of Chinese students enrolled at Dalhousie has more than doubled in less than two years, climbing from 437 in 2010/11 to 923 students in 2012/13. She says while students benefit from the offering of different perspectives from around the world,“strong enrolment allows the university to have a rich academic offering.” Kachan judges the success of the program on a personal level. “We want these students to go on and do great things with their lives,” and this is why

the program dedicates energy and resources to ensure students thrive both academically and socially, remarks Kachan. Kachan travelled to China with the del-

讨论现有的合作项目,同时寻找新的 合作机会。这位资深数学教授笑着回 忆道:“数数护照上的印章,我已经 去了20次中国。这里面有时停留还不 到一天。那种时候,除了精疲力竭你 什么都感觉不到!”

Dal与中国院校的合作早在30多年前 就开始了。回首这几十年,学校学术 协理副校长 Keith Taylor 先生告诉我 们,海外合作办学不但要投入极大的 热情和精力,还一定要有冒险精神。

Dal在海洋学和化学研究领域上与厦门 大学长期保持合作关系。Taylor这次也 回到了厦大。他说:“我们在合作中 竭力为合作方创造价值,做到双赢。 而且Dal确实是个学习的好地方。”

今年3月,Taylor与随行的学术代表团 来到中国,在近两周的时间里访问了 Dal在中方16所合作院校中的9所。 代表团想借此次机会与中方院校总结

八十年代初期,Dal与中方达成了第一 个学习交流项目协议,也就是“2+2项 目”。所谓2+2,就是让学生在国内大 学读前两年,然后在Dal读后两年至完

What strikes Kachan is the academic strength of the students enrolling in the Joint 2+2 Dalhousie economics program. “Those students have been some of the top graduates and almost all have gone onto Masters Programs. It’s a very exciting thing to be a part of,” says Kachan. Dalhousie’s agreement with SUF is a nationally recognized agreement and Taylor says it’s now the most popular program selected among all joint programs with foreign partners of anywhere else in the world.

and she says there are almost 100 students arriving this year to study for two years from SUF and RUC. She enjoys helping students settle in; finding grocery stores, setting-up bank accounts. She’ll even help students decipher strange spices and foreign vegetables, laughs Peng. As many as 200 students can enrol in the economics program and Taylor says it’s always filled to capacity. “Dalhousie’s 2012 medal winner in Economics is a graduate of this program,” says Taylor with pride. “We want to be good friends with the people at these institutions as they become stronger and stronger on the world stage,” says Taylor. “We’ve gained a lot of PhD students that have studied here and then returned to teach in China, further fostering the international connection,” he says. One of the main goals of these collabor-

ative relationships is joint research projects.“Scientists, you just have to get them together and they give talks on their research results,” Taylor says with enthusiasm. It’s a vital part of the scientific enterprise according to Taylor. “It’s where information is quickly shared.” But Taylor says the faculty needs courage if they are to get more value from these international relationships. “If they were brave enough,” and prepared to put in the effort to build on the opportunities that are there, Taylor says the university could benefit more from China’s research strength and modern infrastructure. “People don’t realize how scientifically strong the Chinese universities are becoming. There would be quite a bit to gain from being there, like wonderful lab facilities.” Zhejiang University, another leading university, is currently building its

ocean research capacity. The relationship is new for Dalhousie and Taylor says the significance and scale of their research capacity is enormous. “They are building a brand new campus for their Ocean College…and have already allocated budget funding equivalent to the total operating budget of all of Dalhousie,” says Taylor. “There are ten times more ocean-related researchers in China than in Canada.” It’s more than just numbers and Kachan has observed for Taylor, it’s not about the head count. “Keith, as an individual, really took to heart this effort on behalf of Dalhousie. You can have all these meetings but at the end of the day you have to have someone who takes it to heart to make it successful. It’s personal.” A daily account of the 13 day tour and complete list of universities visited can be found on the Eastern Horizons blog on www.dal.ca.

在学术和社会实践上双向成长。”这 次的中国行,Kachan也参与访问了国 内多所知名大学,其中包括以社会 学、商学和经济学闻名的中国人民大 学和山东财经大学。

几乎每年都满员招生,这里面不乏有 出类拔萃的佼佼者。Taylor说:“我们 希望与这些学生保持良好的关系,因 为他们将会在世界的舞台上大放异 彩。另外,很多学生来Dal攻读博士, 然后回到中国教学、工作,更进一步 地促进了国际间的交流。”

浙江大学作为中国名校之一正致力于 大力发展其海洋学研究科学。尽管两 校刚刚建立合作关系,Taylor表示,浙 大今后强大的研究实力将不可小觑。 “他们正在建造海洋学院新校区。校 区的预算相当于Dal整个学校的预算。 大家可能不知道,中国的海洋学研究 人员是加拿大的10倍之多!”

而最让Kachan感到欣慰的是2+2交流 生优异的成绩。她介绍说,很多学生 都以优秀的成绩毕业,有些学生顺利 考入研究生学院,继续深造。

2+2经济系有200名录取名额,近几年

在研究项目上的交流合作是Dal与中方 院校合作的另一重要目的。Taylor认 为:“学者之间必须互相交流他们的 研究成果。信息及时得到交流共享是 学术事业极为重要的一环。”他还表 示,如果教职人员想要从这些国际合 作项目中获益,需要有足够的勇气, 做好充分的准备,努力抓住眼前的机 遇。他说:“不论是研究实力还是现 代化的基础设施,我们都可以从中方 院校学到很多。很多人没有意识到中 国大学的科技水平正在日益壮大,他 们有先进的实验设备和装置。”

Saint Mary’s looks to have international campus

圣玛利大学 打造国际化校园 More and more Chinese students are opting to enrol in Saint Mary's University every year. As such, SMU is challenged with becoming a more international campus to accommodate their growing international population – luckily, they're up to the challenge. “Last year, of [all] Chinese students, 400,000 students in the first year came out [to study abroad],” says George Ye, associate professor in the Master of Finance program at SMU. “The number of Chinese students going abroad increases 20 per cent every year. ” SMU draws a lot of Chinese exchange students each year, many of whom enrol in the Bachelor of Commerce program at the Sobey School of Business. The Sobey School has even had an articulation agreement with the Beijing Normal University Zhuhai campus since 2005. Students of BNUZ will spend two years at home in China, then spend another two years abroad, studying exclusively at SMU. “It's called a Two Plus Two agreement,” says Lois Larson, Undergraduate Program Manager at the Sobey School of Business. “The appeal of the Two Plus Two is they come for two years, do an undergrad in business, and then sometimes can do an accelerated MBA in one year, so in three years they end up with a graduate degree.” SMU's growing relationship with Chinese international students began to boom once China entered the free market. Chinese universities were interested in offering finance courses, but

few had the faculty to support the curriculum. “This program,” says Ye, referring to a Masters of Finance program offered at

正逐步走向多元化的圣玛利大学校园一角。

近年来,选择到圣玛利大学(SMU) 就读的中国留学生数量呈逐年增长的 趋势。国际学生人数的增长给SMU校 方软硬件配套设施方面都带来了不小 的压力和挑战。幸运的是,学校已经 做好充分的准备来应对挑战。

商学院本科部项目经理Lois Larson女 士介绍道:“2+2项目让学生在这里学 习两年便可获得商学学士学位。如果 他们选择进入一年制的MBA加速课 程,只需要在加拿大学习3年的时间便 可完成硕士学位。”

叶教授是SMU商学院(Sobey School of Business)金融学研究生学院(Master of Finance) 的副教授。他说:“去 年,中国为国外输送了40万留学生。 这个数字每年以20%的比率在增加。”

中国进入自由市场之后,SMU校方与 其合作关系不断加深。很多中国的大 学都希望提供与金融相关的课程,可 只有极少数有师资去实现教学。叶教 授介绍道:“SMU的金融学硕士学位 最初是专门为中国交换生设置的。那 时由于中国刚刚加入世贸,金融市场 重组,该项目得到了许多金融学学生 的青睐。现在学生依然选择留学,是 因为中国的教育体系还不够完善,而 北美的大学则在金融学和其他商科教

圣玛利大学 上接第3页 从招生入学到确保学术成功,SMU不 惜投入大量资源,为交换生们打造良 好的教学和生活环境。Larson介绍 说:“我们为留学生和2+2交换生分 别设计了符合他们需求的入学指导活 动。目前,学校还在设计一个网上学 前导航程序。这个程序面向包括留学 生和本地学生在内的全体新生,帮助 他们在入学前做好充分的准备。”

Saint Mary’s CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 SMU, initially exclusive to Chinese exchange students, “at that time, was in high demand for finance students in China. China just joined the WTO [World Trade Organization], and also China started to reform the financial market.” “They're not happy with Chinese education system now. Education in finance and business, this is much behind competitor education here in North America,” adds Ye. Additionally, holding an international degree makes these students more desirable to employers both in China and abroad, according to Ye. “If you have a degree from a Canadian university, it will make you more competitive.” SMU isn't just sitting back and enrolling these exchange students and leaving them to their own devices, though. The school is putting considerable effort and resources into creating a conducive environment for all their exchange students. “We do orientations specifically designed for international students, and designed for the students who come in on a Two Plus Two,” says Larson. “We're currently exploring an online, pre-arrival orientation package, that we will send out to all students - not just international students, but domestic as well.” “We have so many events. So many,” says Shanshan Luo, a former exchange student studying at the Sobey School of

She now works as the International Student Advisor at the International Centre at SMU, which offers a wide array of counselling, activities and advisors for international students from all walks of life. “Besides their studies, we try to help them feel more comfortable, and more will settle in Halifax,” says Luo. “We just want our students to know we are here. We are their home away from home.” SMU has even gone so far as to create a new position at the university; Coordinator of International Student Success, a position currently occupied by Kathi Thompson. “It's a new position that was created just over a year ago,” says Thompson. “We have 90 countries represented on Saint Mary's campus. We want to be able to provide appropriate support for them when they come to do academic study here.” “There are many wonderful programs here that are supporting international students,” says Thompson. Some of the initiatives spearheaded by Thompson or the heads of the various faculties at SMU include increased student advising, academic coaching, one-on-one and group supports, and peer helping programs. Thompson also recently completed a report outlining the successful ways SMU is reaching out to its international population, as well as areas that could use improvement, based on extensive research of both the leading literature on the subject, and interviews conducted around campus.

尽管SMU在安置留学生方面已经取得

了飞跃式的进步,但离目标还有一定 距离。Thompson说:“我坚信圣玛利 最终会成为一个一流的国际化大学。 在我们的校园,我们希望看到,不论 是留学生还是本地生,不同文化的学 生群体能够互相尊重、互相支持、共 同发展。实现这个目标是一个漫长的 过程,我们可能还有几十年的路要 走。但我深信圣玛利大学会成功地完 成这个转变,因为这里的全体老师, 员工和学生都在积极主动地配合。我 也相信这样的转变对我们每一个人来 说都将起到积极深远的作用。”

making in the realm of international accommodations, there's still room to grow. “What I think Saint Mary's would ultimately like to achieve is an international campus,” says Thompson. “That is, creating a place where all culture groups are both respected and supported in the ways that they need to be supported, but also integrated, whether it's international culture groups, or whether it's with

domestic students.” “The whole process of internationalization on the home campus, it's a journey. It's a long journey. We're talking about thirty or forty years of transition,” adds Thompson. “The journey at Saint Mary's, I think, will be so successful because we have faculty, staff and students who are so interested and really willing to join the journey. I think that journey will take us a long way forward.”

经过阅读和收集大量的一手资料, Thompson在最近的工作报告中探讨了 SMU的留学生服务这一课题,罗列出 其成功的范例,也指出了需要加强完 善的方面。

The 24 solar terms 中国传统二十四节气 SAINT MARY’S UNIVERSITY CONFUCIUS INSTITUTE 圣玛利大学孔子学院 供稿 In China, businesses and individuals give away calendars to customers and friends as gifts when a year comes to an end. In Nova Scotia, people can get a Chinese calendar from their local Chinese communities. A Chinese calendar carries both Gregorian dates and the Chinese traditional dates (农历日期) driven by the 24 solar terms system. Dividing a year into 24 equal parts, the 24 solar terms system has been influencing and shaping people’s daily life in China since ancient time. The system has formed a calendar that guides people’s daily activities in Preindustrial societies. It was used to guide agriculture production, special climate signs such as floods and

drought, cultural ceremonies, family gatherings and even healthy living tips. Forming an important if not indispensable part of the Chinese traditional calendar, the 24 solar terms include Start of Spring, Rain Water, Awakening of Insects, Vernal Equinox, Clear and Bright, Grain Rain, Start of Summer, Grain Full, Grain in Ear, Summer Solstice, Minor Heat, Major Heat,Start of Autumn, Limit of Heat, White Dew, Autumnal Equinox, Cold Dew, Frost Descent, Start of Winter, Minor Snow, Major Snow, Winter Solstice, Minor Cold, and Major cold. The system was created and implemented in ancient China, and then spread to neighbouring countries including Korea and Japan. Originated from the Yellow River area, the system is one of the greatest tools

China’s increasing love of ĺŠ ć‹żĺ¤§éž™č™žćˇąĺ?—中ĺ›˝ĺ¸‚ĺœşćŹ˘čżŽ Canadian Lobster SUBMISSION BY LOBSTER COUNCIL OF CANADA ĺŠ ć‹żĺ¤§éž™č™žç?†äş‹äźš äž›稿 In the era of a ‘flattened world’, a term coined by Thomas Friedman in his book “The World is Flatâ€?, there is less need to be homesick for those special meals you once would only enjoy in China. A visit to your grocery store to pick up live lobster, followed by an online search for the perfect way to prepare Cantonese-style lobster can result in a Skype session with your family and friends to enjoy the same meal. With the recent growth in lobster exports to China, chances are that they could be eating Canadian lobster caught at the same time and location as yours. Canadian lobster, also known as “Homarus Americanusâ€?, is shipped to more than 50 countries around the world. More than 30,000 kilograms of live lobster is shipped out of Nova Scotia weekly during peak seasons. In recent years, China has become Canada’s number two customer in the export of live lobster. More than $18 million worth of Canadian lobster shipped to China in the first five months of 2013 — a substantial increase from the $2.2 million of seafood sold in 2010. Few people traveling to China for a visit would say it is an easy trip when factoring in time zones, long airport waits and even longer flights. Improvements to shipping processes have meant live lobster can arrive in Beijing, Hong Kong, and Shanghai less than two days after departing from Nova Scotia’s cold waters. Lobsters are carefully packaged in styrofoam containers with wet, chilled pads to keep them comfortable and refrigerated during their trip. They are then held in quarantine to ensure their good health before clearing customs. Thomas Friedman contends that local

cultures and ideas are becoming globalized. This has worked to Chinese consumers’ advantage. Chinese cooking focuses on using fresh food products. Meal preparation involves shopping in open markets containing live animals and seafood as well as fresh produce. As one of the more popular Chinese menu items, it makes sense that live lobster is required for all special occasions. There is still much to do when it comes to building awareness of Canadian lobster, which is why the Lobster Council of Canada is working to improve the value of this delicious seafood through the launch of a Canadian Lobster Brand. Chinese seafood lovers must adjust to our lobsters’ claws versus the clawless Australian spiny lobsters. In addition, many Chinese consumers would not know where their lobster is from. A Canadian fishermen attending a seafood event in 2012 was told lobster being sold in Bejing’s largest open market was from Boston, Canada. While a younger generation expects next-day delivery, shipping Canadian lobsters by air has only been in place for the past 60 years. The first commercial air shipment of fresh seafood took place in 1948, which helped evolve Canadian lobster from being a poor man’s meal to an elegant dining menu item. Today, lobster is one of the main staples of any country's gourmet scene, especially China. Our clean, natural environment and strict food inspection programs have ensured Canadian lobster is recognized as nutritious and delicious seafood. The only thing better than eating Canadian lobster in China is enjoying it during a visit to one of our beautiful coastal communities.

高尔夫球 赛出PEI岛上华人移民的友谊 尽管张钢先生的整个七月都在加拿大 西部排名前100的高尔夫球场上度过, 但他坚持认为, 爱德华王子岛(PEI)的高 球球场才是全加拿大最棒的。 八年前,张先生从中国珠海移居到爱 德华王子岛的夏洛特敦 (Charlottetown) 。从商数十年,他10年前捡起打高尔 夫球这项运动作为爱好。他笑着 说:“2005年在接到移民局的面试通 知时,我立即拿起高尔夫球包,直奔 PEI来面试。”

President of the Maritime Chinese Golf Association, Gang Zhang. Contributed by Maritime Chinese Golf Assocatiation 加东华人高尔夫球协会会长张钢先生。

PEI golf links Chinese newcomers with Islanders CYNDI SWEENEY Gang Zhang spent July playing some of Western Canada's top 100 golf courses and he remains convinced his province is home to Canada's finest greens. Zhang immigrated from Zhu Hai, China to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island eight years ago. "I received an interview notice from immigration in 2005. I picked up my golf bag and went straight to PEI for the interview," says the businessman, who has been passionately playing golf for more than 10 years. Chairman and founder of the Maritime Chinese Golf Association, Atlantic

Canada's first Chinese golf association, Zhang has played all 33 courses on the island and has built many friendships and business relationships through the sport. His goal is to encourage more Chinese people to golf here and help link local players with newcomers. When the golf enthusiast first arrived in P.E.I in 2007, he spent his first week seeking out golf courses around the island. "I didn't have a car and travelled by taxi to these courses," says Zhang. He recalls his taxi driver asking him several times if he was Japanese. "When I asked

张先生现在是大西洋地区首创高球协 会 - 加东华人高球协会的创始人兼主 席。在PEI,他打遍了全岛33块球 场,结识了很多朋友,也促成了很多 生意方面的合作。他最大的希望就是 看见越来越多的中国人来PEI打高尔夫 球,为连接岛上本土球手和华人球手 做贡献。 2007年,张先生抵达PEI。这位高球爱 好者一登陆便四处搜寻岛上的高球场 地。张先生回忆道:“那时候来来回 回都是搭出租车的,好几次出租车司 机都问我是不是日本人。我很好奇, 就反问为什么他会认为我是日本人。 司机就说,岛上经常会有日本和韩国 的高球球手,可从没见过中国球 手。”从那以后,张先生就下决心要 改变岛上居民这一固有的印象,立志 将更多的中国高球球手带到PEI来打 球。 张先生不止一次地感慨:“PEI有全加 最好的高球场,能定居在这里,我感 到非常幸运。”提到办高球协会的宗 旨,他说,球会的目的一是扩大高尔 夫球在加东华人社区中的知名度和影 响力;二是更好地连接加东本土球手 和华人球手;三是将加东高尔夫球场 推广至国内的商业和旅游领域。 正是因为岛上一流的球场设施,张先 生同太太王女士决定长期定居PEI。同 时,他们也积极鼓励更多的人来PEI旅 游观光甚至定居。王女士笑着说: “我们总是骄傲地告诉国内的亲朋好 友,我们在加拿大居住的地方有水准 一流的高尔夫球场!”

张先生、王女士同家人在岛上居住的 时间几乎是伴着打高尔夫球度过的。 “有时候我们一天要打两场球。”王 女士笑着回忆道:“有一次他一天打 了54洞,比泰格伍兹练得还要苦 呢!”她还提到:“我们两岁的儿子 Noah已经有自己的一套球杆了。我们 一家去过很多地方,但还是觉得PEI最 有家的感觉。”王女士说,PEI最美的 是风土人情,岛上的人都特别友好亲 切。 2012年9月,第一届加东华人高球协 会锦标赛在岛上最受欢迎的Brudenell River Golf Course举行。今年6月底, 第二届锦标赛在岛上的Green Gables Golf Club举行。 崔典居住在多伦多,为了今年6月的赛 事,专程赶到PEI参加比赛。他认为能 通过这次比赛结识岛内外的商界精 英,是个不可多得的好机会。他介绍 说,中国人的生意大都是在饭桌上或 是会议室里谈成的;然而,高尔夫球 场则给商人们提供了更好的沟通平 台。他说:“高尔夫球一打至少是四 个小时,这样,球手们就有足够的时 间交流和探讨生意经。”崔典现就职 于安大略省的跨国公司 - 春兴精工。该 公司是今年锦标赛的赞助方,公司的 总裁也从中国专程来到PEI参加此次比 赛。 另一位活动赞助方是来自Quest Realty 的陈纲先生。作为新球手,陈先生也 参加了今年的比赛。他认为,球赛是 扩大人脉关系的好机会。他希望看到 更多的华人在哈利法克斯做商业投 资,并表示明年的比赛会考虑移到新 斯科舍省的的布雷顿角 (Cape Breton) 举行。 虽然协会目前还处于初创阶段,但是 张先生已经看到岛上越来越多的华人 居民开始参与打高尔夫球,并为推广 这项运动出力。他说:“办比赛的目 的不仅仅是为了让华人球手之间交 流,更是为了让他们和本地球手结 识、学习、建立友谊。” 据悉,第三届加东华人高球锦标赛将 于2014年9月初举行。

Determined to break that stereotype, Zhang set out to bring more Chinese golfers to P.E.I. "I'm very lucky to have chosen a place to live that has the best golf courses." Zhang founded the Maritime Chinese Golf Association for several reasons: to help raise golf awareness in the Chinese community, to connect Chinese golfers with local Canadian golfers, and to promote Maritime Canada and its golf courses to business investors and tourists in China. Zhang and his partner Pei Wang decided to make P.E.I. home because of the quality of golf on the island and they say they'd like to encourage others to come here. "We have some friends and relatives that have visited us from China and we're always telling them we have the best courses," laughs Wang. Zhang and Wang live on the island with their family and spend almost everyday golfing. "Sometimes we golf two rounds in a day," she laughs recalling once Zhang played 54 holes in one day. There's laughter around the table as Zhang declares he practices more than Tiger Woods. "Our two-year-old son Noah already has his first real set of clubs," says Wang. "We've travelled to a lot of places, but we call P.E.I. home." She says the best

part of the island is the people, who are so friendly. The Maritime Chinese Golf Association hosted its first tournament in 2012 at the popular Brudenell River Golf Course. The 2013 tournament took place at Green Gables Golf Club in June. Dian Cui travelled from Toronto for the tournament and says it provides a great opportunity to network with local businessmen. Unlike in China, where many business deals are conducted over a meal or in a boardroom, Cui says golfing provides a better platform for developing relationships. "When you play golf you have at least four hours to speak with someone and discuss your business ideas.” Cui works with Chunxing Precision Mechanical in Ontario. The company sponsored a hole at the 2013 tournament and the president of the company travelled from China to join the game in June. Ken Chen of Quest Realty is also a sponsor and participant in the tournament. New to golf, Chen has known Zhang for four years and says the tournament has been great for networking. He would like to see more Chinese people invest in Halifax and says next year the tournament may move to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The association is only in its infancy, but Zhang is already seeing more of the island's Chinese population investing in golf and helping grow the industry. "The purpose of the tournament is not just for Chinese to play golf with Chinese players but to play with other local players and learn from each other and build new relationships," says Zhang. Maritime Chinese Golf Association's 2014 tournament will take place in early September.

Solar terms CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 invented during history. When observing and recording the movement of the sun and the stars, ancient Chinese found that it was closely related to the way the crops grew, and the movements had a yearly rotation. They soon outlined this distinctive weather and climatic system and finally came up with the system of the 24 solar terms, which reflects the exact movements of the sun. Each term refers to the angle of the sun shifting 15 degrees along the ecliptic (see the fig.). Although at the same time in the same term, the north and the south normally experience different weathers due to geographic differences. An important part of Chinese culture, the systemforms an important subject in the Confucian classics, Chinese history books, and works of Chinese philosophers and literature. Take one of the

二十四节气 上接第5页 的用语。历史杰作《史记》及诸子的 典籍《管子》中也有酷似二十四节气 的表述。再来看《淮南子》,这本著 作中已有完整的二十四节气的记载, 与今天使用的一模一样。

Confucian classics for example, ZUOZHUAN(左传) recorded that, at one point of time, rankings of officials were named after birds’ names. When describing the birds’ hobbies, the book referred to the 24 solar terms. The historical masterpiece, SHIJI(史记),and the philosophical classic, GUANZI (管子), also included phrases from the 24 solar terms. Another philosophical classic, HUAINANZI(淮南子), used the exactly same 24 terms as the Chinese are using today. Chinese people believe in the saying: “Live at the mercy of the elements” (靠天吃饭). The 24 solar terms system is the system that they have discovered and categorized as “elements”. It continues to guide modern Chinese in their daily life. It shapes their seasonal diet and behaviours. A unique part of Chinese culture, the 24 solar terms system has been carried forward from generation to generation to lead people to a healthy and fulfilled life. In our next column, we’ll review some of the main activities associated with the 24 solar terms.

说到中国的文化,不可能忽略中国的 节气文化。二十四节气是中国人常说 的“靠天吃饭”中“天”的部分。人 们通过二十四节气认“天”,看 “天”穿衣吃饭,看“天”决定每天 的行动。工业化了的中国,人们从电 影、电视剧等影像作品中又找到了他 们熟悉的节气的踪影。 本栏目将继续介绍二十四节气。下回 的话题是,节气中的习俗活动。

Mazda3 matures with KODO design, new technology for 2014

新一䝣銏自螞3ďźšĺ…¨é?˘é?Šć–°ďźŒĺ˝°ć˜žâ€œé­‚动â€?魅力 TODD GILLIS When Ford ended its long-time partnership with Mazda, there were many sceptics who predicted the demise of the Hiroshima-based Japanese automaker. But since its separation, Mazda has proven in extraordinary fashion that it can do just fine on its own. With its heralded 'SkyActiv Technology,' plus its equally-celebrated new 'KODO Design' theme, the company has made an incredible transformation in an astonishingly brief period of time. Its success of late is evident at its Hofu, Japan plant where it’s currently rolling off vehicles at a staggering rate

of one every 54 seconds (the 10 millionth vehicle drove off its assembly line September 3). Off those 10 million vehicles, more than 3.5 million of the automaker's most important model, the Mazda3, have been sold since its debut in 2003. A perennial favourite among Canadians, the Mazda3 represents 30 per cent of the company’s total global sales (it is sold in more than 120 countries). The third-generation 2014 Mazda3 will also embody that KODO design and, of course, the full suite of fuel-saving SkyActiv technologies, not to mention a host of new available technology features.

New Mazda3 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 Here are some highlights of the completely redesigned 2014 Mazda3 which we'll see in Canadian showrooms in the coming weeks: • Under the hood, Canadians will choose from Mazda's 2.0-litre and 2.5litre SkyActiv-G gasoline engines with either the SkyActiv six-speed automatic or six-speed manual for this 2014 edition. • The 2.0-litre engine will make 155 horsepower and 150 lb.-ft. of torque, while the 2.5 litre is rated for 184 horsepower and 185 lb.-ft. of torque (values are for both sedan and hatchback models). • Inside, the new three sports an Active Driving Display which shows vehicle speed, information from the navigation system, and other important driving data on a clear panel vertically mounted behind the instrument cluster hood. • The new instrument cluster design features a centrally-positioned analogue gauge surrounded by a pair of wing-shaped digital displays. The dial face for the center gauge features threedimensional metallic numerals. • A red ring around the center gauge pulsates when the driver opens the door and the Active Driving Display rises into position when the ignition is turned on. -Increased front and rear shoulder room in the new Mazda3 contributes to greater comfort for occupants. Rear legroom is ample at 909 mm and the rear seatbacks are 50 mm taller. In addition, the front seat backs are sculpted to provide rear seat occupants more knee room. • The interior will be available in offwhite or black leather and in two types of fabric in black or sand. • The base of the A-pillars in the new Mazda3 were repositioned 100 mm rearward to help improve forward visibility.

汽车 • The side-view mirrors were also moved to the doors instead of the base of the A-pillar which will help expand the range of visibility when looking over the mirrors from the driver’s seat. • Mazda also made the seat cushions larger and modified the seat backs to improve seating position while providing more lateral support. • On the safety front, the new three's advanced safety technologies have been labeled 'i-ACTIVSENSE.' • The new three will use sensing devices such as milliwave radars and cameras to support the driver in recognizing hazards, avoiding collisions and minimizing damage when accidents occur. • It was also feature a High Beam Control System that will automatically switch the headlamps between high and low beams. • Other prominent new safety features available include a Blind Spot Monitoring System, Lane Departure Warning System, Forward Obstruction Warning and Smart City Brake Support. • Also, a new generation Human-machine Interface (HMI) in the 2014 Mazda3 (on the top-level GT trim), based on the Active Driving Display concept, will help drivers maintain proper posture and better concentration on the road. • Its information is displayed on a new iPad-like seven-inch flat screen that's stuck to the top of the dashboard. • The new three also has an upgraded infotainment system with Bluetooth smartphone connectivity; using text-tovoice technology, the system can read emails, tweets, texts and even Facebook updates. • Outside, the 2014 Mazda3 incorporates the same KODO design language used on the 2014 Mazda6 and CX-5. • Mazda3 wheelbase was made longer to increase interior space and to permit a more stable ride. • The new three will be available with a choice of 18- or 16-inch aluminum wheels, or 16-inch steel wheels with full wheel caps. • It will also have seven available body colours. • It will also be the first Mazda product to get shutters in its front grille that close in certain conditions to reduce aerodynamic drag.

新生留学贴士

你结交朋友、了解风土民情,以及校园 文化和设施,从而尽快更好地适应到新 的环境中。

哈法华人网裘梦婕、唐佩瑶供稿

3.实际大于理论,专业要顺应兴趣。选 择专业的时候,一定要充分了解自己 的兴趣和特长所在,不要太过依赖顺 从家人安排,也不要浑浑噩噩地“随 大流”。“冷门”和“热门”之说, 往往因人而异。

吴秋凌,戴尔豪 西大学国际学生 中心指导员,在 留学生咨询和教 育工作领域有 近12年的丰富经 验。

1.重视并充分做好开学前的准备。提前 计划好到校一周内的生活,避免由于 缺乏重视或一无所知而遭遇尴尬狼狈 和种种波折。 2.积极参与迎新周(Orientation Week). 从字面上讲,Orientation 就是“方向” 的意思,也就是让学生们能够找得到 “北”,即“熟悉情况”。对于初来乍 到的你,积极参加各种迎新活动有助于

4.充分利用校园资源。国外的校园资源 非常丰富且可靠。这些免费却十分宝 贵的资源基本包括:教授、学生会、 办公室、协会、社团、图书馆、健身 馆,乃至学校官网。 5.独立,活泼,勤奋,好问。国外学习 生活最显著特点就是独立自主,没有 人有义务和责任被你依赖,你的独立 能力将会得到最大的考验和锻炼。课 堂上,不论本地学生还是国际学生, 都要勤奋努力才能获得好的绩点(GPA) 才能在未来就业中有所优势;考前 “临时抱佛脚”是很难成功的。不要 等着教授来给你“特殊关心”;虽然 你是国际生,但是在加拿大教授眼 里,国际生和本地学生都是他的学 生,没有任何分别。

1.误区:身边朋友或前辈的建议和选择 最靠谱 即使是同一专业,也会由于各 人兴趣目标不同而有各种不同的选课 和排课方式。因此,也许别人的成功 经验在你身上并不适用。针对新生选 课问题,建议到所在院校的学术咨询 处 (Academic Advising Office) 求助。有着本地丰富教育经验的老师将 会耐心负责地为你提供学习计划和选课 意见。 2.误区:高GPA = 高就业 建议新生不要为了GPA而选择简单花 哨的课程专业等。不论对于学校还是公 司雇主,你的综合素质和能力才是他们

最大的考量。务必脚踏实地地根据自 己的兴趣和未来职业规划来认真选择 专业和课程。 3.误区:被动学习,走一步看一步 国外求学,最大的特点除了独立自 主,就是未雨绸缪。意即学生要长远 规划(Long-term Goal),考虑周全。建 议新生入学初就要仔细考虑自己大三 的专业选择和未来就业意向,从而有 针对性地择课排课以及参加各类校园 活动,这样才能有效地逐步强化自己 的实力来满足未来工作要求。 4.误区:出国就是为了镀金 中国学生留学海外部分原因是回国后更 有竞争优势或更受雇主青睐。虽然近 几年这种“海归热”在不断减退,但 是依然有学生计划着在国外轻松取得 文凭就回国就业;有的则受到种种挫折 后就等着毕业回国。建议新生不要把回 国当成是“疗伤药”或者“挡箭牌”而 对未来四年学习万般忍耐,敷衍了事。 既来之,则安之。只有真正踏实地学 习,不断历练自己,才能在竞争中自信 从容,才能在未来各种变化中占据优 势。
