[WORLD CLASSROOM] My Barcelona Experience 【世界课堂】我的巴塞罗那之旅

At YCIS, we believe in a holistic means of education that nurtures the whole child in addition to purely academic learning. Every spring, we offer students at YCIS schools around the country unique opportunities to experience cultures and environments markedly different from their own.

在耀中，我们相信比起单纯的文化课学习，教育方式的多样化更能让孩子全面发展。每年春天，耀中各个学校的孩子会有机会感受到完全不同的环境和文化。

This year, students from YCIS Beijing once again traveled to far-out locales all over the world, from Berlin to Washington DC to Barcelona. Our students in Barcelona, Spain, recently returned and had nothing but glowing praise for the trip, having experienced the rich cultural heritage, delicious food, and even local flamenco dancing that the country has to offer.

今年，耀中北京的学生们再次去往世界各地旅行，从柏林到华盛顿再到巴塞罗那。最近去西班牙巴塞罗那的学生们已经回到学校，他们非常喜欢这次旅行，在这次旅行中，他们见识到了丰富的文化遗产，品尝到了美味的食物，甚至还必不可少地跳了一把当地的弗拉曼柯舞蹈。

We caught up with one of our students, Year 8 student Alicia Seng, for her recommendations on three of the can’t-miss locations and activities to check out on your next trip to this beautiful city!

我们采访了八年级学生Alicia Seng, 她给我们推荐了三个不能错过的景点和活动，希望你下次去往这个美丽的城市的时候可以去看一看。

Pont del Diable (The Devil’s Bridge)

魔鬼桥

This famous aqueduct is actually in the nearby city of Tarragona. You can walk across the top of it and below it. It was originally Roman, but reconstructed in 1238 on the top of the original foundations. It’s built out of cut limestone blocks, amazingly with no cement. The architects just fit each block together really tightly. It’s really impressive that it’s stayed together all this time! It’s a really impressive piece of ancient history that anyone visiting the area should check out.

著名的魔鬼桥位于塔拉戈纳郊区。你可以从桥上走，也可以从桥下走。魔鬼桥始建于罗马，1238年在原来的基础上重建。它由切割的石灰岩建成，完全没有使用水泥。每块岩石紧密贴合，坚持这么长时间，非常令人惊叹！魔鬼桥作为古代历史的杰作令人印象深刻，值得游览。

The Sagrada Familia

圣家堂

This famous Roman Catholic Church is another great place to visit for lovers of history, culture, and architecture. Probably the most impressive and unique part of this building is its tall towers, which we had the opportunity to climb up. If you look down the stairs from above, you can see the stairs spiral in the shape of a shell. It can be a bit nerve-wracking if heights make you nervous! Still, it’s a beautiful building that anyone would enjoy visiting. 

对历史文化和建筑爱好者来说，圣家堂是另一个不得不去的伟大景点。圣家堂最大的特点在于它高高的塔顶，学生们还爬上了顶端。从顶端往下看，楼梯是呈贝壳状盘旋而下。恐高症患者可要做好心理准备了！总之，圣家堂值得一去。

Paella Cooking Classes

西班牙海鲜饭烹饪课

Last but not least, take some cooking classes! On our trip, we took a class from a real Spanish chef on making the traditional dish paella. It’s generally a huge pot of seafood with mussels, prawns, and clams over rice with other ingredients too. We all had different roles; my job was to clean and prepare all the seafood. The end result was really delicious. I highly recommend trying your hand at it if you get the opportunity to come to Spain!

终于说到烹饪课啦！我们在旅行中还跟着一位西班牙厨师上了一节课，学习做西班牙传统美食海鲜饭。简单说就是一大锅的海鲜比如贻贝，虾，蛤蜊盖在米饭上，再辅以其他佐料。我们各自有不同的分工，我的工作是清理准备所有的海鲜。最后的成果非常美味。强烈建议您有机会去西班牙的时候也去尝一尝！
