瑞士小记者-瑞士生活Wakeboard之旅
瑞士小记者瑞士生活Wakeboard之旅 Joe来自十三朝古都西安，他品学兼优，兴趣广泛，结伴各国留学生，成为了良师益友。对于自己的未来，他充满着向往，勇于尝试新鲜事物，积极面对挑战是他不变的追求。2019年夏天，他通过雷梭勒教育事业部成功前往瑞士莱蒙国际学校的高中部进行就读。由于他积极地参加各项活动，很快就成为了同学眼中的明星选手，让我们顺着他用中英文撰稿的一次莱蒙活动初体验，来感受他略带青涩又富有真实趣味的花式滑水之旅吧。 初出茅庐 来到瑞士的第一周，除了熟悉语言环境，了解当地文化，结交各国好友之外，“勇于尝试，不断挑战”则是我给自己树立的小目标。多年以前，我就听说了一种脚踩木板，手拽着一根绳子，被快艇拉着在湖上飞驰的运动，名叫花样划水。我便产生了浓厚的兴趣，总想体验一下。 在莱蒙学校第一周周六的早上，新发布的周末活动清单吸引着绝大多数新生的眼球，上面有一长串精彩纷呈的活动——山地骑行、骑马、做饭、帆船等等。正巧排在第一位的是个名为Wakeboard的水上运动，看活动简介和儿时向往的运动十分相似，随即变得心潮澎湃，跃跃欲试。但转念一想，这运动虽是刺激，但仅凭单绳站立在起伏的水面之上，如若湖风袭来，平衡难控，对初学者来说，挑战难度不小。随着这份顾虑，我心里也就打了退堂鼓，决定第一周先耐心等待，静观其变。第一周活动结束后，我询问隔壁的朋友。他告诉我这活动棒极了，值得一去，但不可否认的是：很难，很累。“第一次去甚至站不起来，能蹲在上面就算是不错了”。我急切地问他会不会掉到水里，他会心一笑，表示若是小心，应该不会掉到水里。到此，我心中的大石头总算是落了地，下定决心下周六就去挑战。这世上总有很多新鲜的挑战。我热衷于挑战新事物，也听由内心的真实想法，若不去一定会后悔！ 万事俱备 活动如期而至，老师让我只需带游泳裤和毛巾，并建议我不要吃早饭。如果仅是个水上运动，为什么不可吃早饭呢？一定是因为这项运动太剧烈了！想到这里，我不由自主地更期待此次旅程。活动一行有八个人，可出人意料的是，四个都是六七年级的孩子。交流后才知道，他们也是第一次去挑战自我的，交流中自信心渐渐强了起来，他们能做到我为何不能？活动分为两组，4人一条船，我们这组四个人都从未尝试过，便相互鼓励打气。与此同时，快艇加速向湖中央冲去，我们问船长目的地在哪，船长说就在湖中央。“我们都是第一次玩，没有一个练习的地方吗？”“没事，在湖中央学就行了！” 这船速度极快，风猛烈地刮过，感到身体不由得有些冷。可就在这时，卡洛斯唱起了一支歌，艾利克斯也跟着唱，一下子缓和了紧张又凝重的气氛，我们逐渐开始享受这乘风破浪的旅程，人生不也正是如此吗，不会时刻都风平浪静的。船停了，我们开始进行体验。经过简短的讨论，我的朋友杰森自告奋勇，第一个下水。船长耐心的教学告诉我们几个需要注意的关键动作。我边听边学了解其中的原理。船快速启动，带着人站在水面上，之后快艇靠速度让人保持在水面冲浪。只瞧杰森躺在水面上，大声叫喊和尖叫着，同时双手紧握三角架，蓄势待发。在巨大的轰鸣声和浪花中，他站起来了，不过立刻头朝下趴了下去，我们发出一片惊呼，船停了。一会儿他的头才从水中出来，他大呼刺激，释放了所有的压力。船长笑着鼓励他“非常勇敢！保持平衡，我们再来！”就这样随后的第二第三次尝试他也以失败告终。当他踉踉跄跄爬上船时，我们献上了热烈的掌声。 小试牛刀 下一个就是我了，杰森给我竖起大拇指，我心里五味杂陈，忐忑又好奇的开始了这段惊险刺激又难忘的旅程。我带着几分无奈和惶恐下了水。这湖中央真是刺骨的凉啊，我似乎失去了知觉！躺在日内瓦湖面上，望着碧空如洗，万里无云的天空，时不时有飞机飞过。环顾四周，我们的船距离岸边也是那么遥远......“准备！”
口号声将我惊醒，我绷紧身子，紧握三角架，伴随着发动机的轰鸣声，我收到了一股巨大的拉力，我似乎站起来了但转瞬之间，我就面对大湖栽了下去，喝了一大口水......船长竖起了大拇指，鼓励我说“做的不错！再来”！ 我的三次尝试，最终也以失败告终，我筋疲力尽，无力支撑，只好示意上船。我原以为上船会很不容易，但经历了湖中的惊险后，上船可谓易如反掌。当我躺在船上的那一刻，又响起了热烈的掌声。躺在船上，望着天空，飞机还时不时飞过，我竟感受到了舒畅，身心无比的舒畅。以前我坐快艇时都有些恐惧，要系安全带。而此时，我只是躺着，忘却了身上的疲惫。就这样，活动很快结束了。踏上陆地，我才从恍惚中恢复出来，这次的活动既梦幻又好玩！船长最后对我们说：“年轻人就应该这样，勇于尝试新鲜事物，挑战自己，你们都很勇敢，希望你们记住，年轻人在实践中学习才会成长的最快！期待我们下次再见面！” 尾声 回房后，我已是筋疲力尽，躺在床上，望着那蔚蓝的天空，飞机飞过的痕迹依旧清晰，脑海里不住地闪出些片段。所谓无限风光在险峰，我躺在日内瓦湖上看到的景象，是最美的风景，永远也不会抹去。这也许就是挑战后的畅然和无穷收获吧。又一个周六，躺在日内瓦湖面上的我心如止水。这一次，我能站起来吗？ 撰稿人：Joe 瑞士莱蒙国际学校，日内瓦 2020年2月 该文章转载自雷梭勒家族办公室，如有侵权，敬请告知删除。 My Switzerland Wakeboard Tour Fledgling In the first week of coming to Switzerland, in addition to being familiar with the language environment, understanding the local culture, and making friends from different countries, "dare to try and keep challenge" was a small goal for myself. Years ago, I had heard a kind of board, holding a rope in the wake of a speedboat, riding a wide board in a lake. I had produced a strong interest in this sport and had always wanted to try it. In the first week in Switzerland, I found a long list of activities in the Saturday morning programs, mountain riding, horse riding, cooking and so on. It happened that the first one in the list was called Wakeboard, and from the activity brief, the sport was very similar to the activity that l had heard in my childhood. I became very excited and really looking forward to having a try. But on a second thought, although this sport is exciting, it must be very hard for beginners. If the balance is not well controlled, l will fall into the lake. With this concern, I decided not to try it in the first week and wait until I have more information about it. After the activity of the first weekend, I asked my friend next door about it. He told me that the activity was worthy, without denying that it was very difficult and very tiring. “The first time it is even hard to stand up! Hands to tighten a tripod, with the rope and the speedboat, fast speed, could make your arms painful.” I was eager to ask him will l fall into the water. He smiled and said that if I’m careful, I should be OK. In that case, l felt relieved, and decided to go to challenge myself the next Saturday. There are a lot of fresh challenges in the world. Im keen to challenge new things, if not, I will feel regret! Everything was Ready The activity was coming as planned, and the teacher told me I only need to bring my swimwear and towels and suggested me not eat breakfast. Just a water sports, why not eat breakfast? It must be because it is too strenuous! Thinking of this, I was more excited to see this trip. The activity had eight people, I was surprised to find, four are ten-year-old children. They looked so thin and weak, can they even grasp the rope? After chatting for a while, I found out it was also the first time for them to challenge themselves. I immediately produced a great confidence -- if they can do then I can make it too! Soon we came to the dock. The dock was large, in the surroundings there were a wide range of water sports facilities. The activity was divided into two groups, 4 people a boat. As it was the first time for all of us, we tried to encourage each other. At the same time, the speedboat accelerated to the center of the lake. We asked the captain of the destination, the captain said in the lake center. “We are all new to this, any place for us to exercise?” “Nothing serious, you can learn there!” The speedboat was very fast, wind was blowing over my face and body, and I felt cold from the inside of my body. Carlos started to sing a song, then Alex followed, which relieved the tense atmosphere, and we gradually began to enjoy this journey. The boat stopped and we started the experience. After a short discussion, my friend Jason volunteered to be the first to go. The captain patiently taught us a few key actions that needed attention. As I listened, I learnt to understand the principles. The boat starts quickly, with people standing on the water, and then the speedboat keeps the speed for the people to surf. We saw Jason lying on the water, shouting and screaming, while holding the tripod tightly with both hands, ready to go. Amid the loud roar and waves, he stood up, but immediately fell into the water with his head down, we exclaimed, and the boat stopped. After a while his head came out of the water, he exclaimed, releasing all the stress. The captain smiled and encouraged him to be "very brave! Keep the balance, lets do it again!" And so the second and third attempts that followed also ended in failure. We applauded warmly as he limped onto the boat. First Attempt The next one was me, and Jason gave me a thumbs-up. My heart was pounding, and I was really uneasy to begin this thrilling, exciting and memorable journey.With a bit of helplessness and fear, I jumped into the water. Its so
cold in the middle of this lake, I seemed to lose consciousness! Lying
in Lake Geneva, looking at the blue and cloudless sky, I could see
planes flying by from time to time. Looking around, our boat was also sofar away from the shore ... "Ready!" The captain’s shout awakened me. Itightened my body, clenched my tripod, and with the roar of the engine,I received a wave of a huge pull! I seemed to stand up, but in an
instant, I plunged into the face of the big lake and drank a big sip of
water ... The captain gave me a thumbs-up and encouraged me with a "Goodjob! " My three attempts finally ended in failure. I was so exhausted and almost unable to support myself and had to signal to get on board.I thought it would be difficult to get on the boat, but after
experiencing the thrills in the lake, getting on the boat was easy. The
moment I lay on the boat, I heard a warm applause. Lying on the boat,
looking at the sky, the plane still passed by from time to time, I
actually felt comfortable, and my body and mind were extremely
comfortable. I used to be a bit scared when I was on a speedboat and hadto fasten my seat belt. At this moment, I just lay down and forgot the
exhaustion in my body. Thats it, the event is over quic...
