瑞士小记者：中瑞文化差异
瑞士小记者｜中瑞文化差异 作者：思青，一名在洛桑酒店管理商学院在读的大三学生。今年三月，思青开始在瑞士雷梭勒家族办公室担任行政助理实习生。 本篇文章将以思青的第一人称视角，谈谈她选择来瑞士学习的原因，以及她所发现的中国与瑞士的不同之处。 为什么选择瑞士？ 我没有选择北美或英国等其他热门留学国家，而是决定来瑞士上大学，有以下几个原因。 无论是从个人人身安全、经济还是从政治方面来说，瑞士都是一个安全的国家。几乎为零的低犯罪率、严格的枪支管制条例和高水平的受教育公民保证了在瑞士生活、学习和工作的高度人身安全。瑞士拥有的充满活力的文化生活、美丽的风景、高质量的房地产和高质量的教育，为人们提供了高标准的生活。她还拥有稳定的货币、强大的购买力、适度的税收和永久的中立性，这表明该国的经济和政治稳定，是未来投资的最佳选择。 在瑞士，人与人之间有一种天然的信任感。尽管每个人都是素不相识的陌生人，但当他们看到别人需要帮助时，还是会伸出援助之手。也许是因为他们一直生活在这样一个湖光山色的美丽地方，他们往往相信人性的善良，非常热衷于帮助他人，向他们表达善意。 有一次，当我在格林德瓦旅行时，从一辆滑板车上摔下来受伤了。我得到了不同的瑞士人的帮助，包括路人、救援人员、酒店工作人员等等。虽然我受了严重的伤，但在很多人的帮助下，这仍然是一次非常温暖的经历。 此外，由于瑞士在创新能力、高教育水平的劳动力和最先进的科研机构方面的优势，她已被列为全球最具创新能力的国家。她促进了公司、初创企业和大学的合作，进行研究并将研究成果转化为可销售的产品和服务，以加强国家经济的创新能力和力量。瑞士还为初创企业和希望推动创新的年轻人提供了理想的环境。在这里，瑞士提供了良好的基础设施和人脉网络。 瑞士的酒店管理学校也有很高的声誉；例如，洛桑酒店管理商学院（EHL）连续四年在最权威的全球大学排名之一QS（Quacquarelli Symonds）排名中在全球酒店管理大学中排名第一，在瑞士商学院中排名第五。瑞士酒店管理大学被称为 "高级酒店管理人才和职业经理人的摇篮"，他们的酒店管理教育提供广泛而实用的课程，采用理论和实践相结合的模式，注重提高学生的综合能力。 总之，这些是我选择在瑞士学习并主修酒店管理的几个主要的原因。希望大家有机会可以来到瑞士，欣赏瑞士的美丽景色，体味这里的水土人情。 中瑞文化差异 我在瑞士学习已经三年了，除去疫情和在其他国家实习的时间，也在瑞士生活了两年。我发现，中国和瑞士的文化差异体现在生活和工作的许多方面。 在饮食方面，中国菜强调菜品的传统美，也强调情怀，注重食物的色、香、味、形、器的和谐。对菜肴的命名、品尝的方式、进食的节奏以及穿插的娱乐活动都有具体要求。而瑞士由于位于许多国家的交界处，融合了多种欧洲文化，融合了法国、德国和意大利的饮食风格。瑞士人注重餐具、原材料、服务，但更注重营养和食材，以及菜肴的品质，这是一种比较理性的饮食观念。 中国人和瑞士人也有不同的心态、思维方式和生活态度。中国人的思维方式最基本的特点是倾向于把事物看成一个整体，具有整体观念。正如老子所说 "道生一，一生二，二生三，三生万物"。相比之下，瑞士或西方文化的显著特点是分析，它倾向于关注个人。一个典型的例子是，传统的中医认为，人体是一个整体，身体的局部问题会得到全面的治疗，而西医则是头痛治头，胃痛治胃。 从工作的角度来看，瑞士人讲究个人主义，企业等级制度扁平化，直接沟通，和“共享领导”。中国人讲究集体主义，企业等级层次分明，以及间接沟通。在中国，工作和生活之间的界限也不像在瑞士那样明确，尤其是现在越来越多的人在家远程工作。例如，在非工作时间，大部分中国人仍然需要尽快回复与工作有关的信息和邮件。相反，瑞士人则尽可能保留个人生活，尽量不受工作的影响，让他们有时间去社交，关注家庭，健身或从事其他爱好。 中国人和瑞士人对节奏的认识也不同。在中国，在快节奏的工作和生活的影响下，我们希望所有的事情都能很快完成。当我们在网上购物时，希望第二天就能收到购买的东西；当我们在餐厅吃饭时，希望在点完餐后菜品很快就能送到桌上；甚至在交通方面，我们希望乘坐高铁、磁悬浮、搭乘直飞的航班。很多人都过着“一万年太久，只争朝夕”的生活。相反，瑞士人喜欢不管干什么事、做什么决定都慢慢来，他们认为瑞士品质需要时间的打磨和深思熟虑的考量，以便做出正确的决定，从而避免错误。 虽然我经历了文化差异的影响，也有过不知所措和胆怯的时候，但在与不同文化背景的人交流和合作中，我不仅更好地了解了自己，也学会了尊重和接受与我们不同的人。在瑞士和酒店管理学院的多元文化学习环境中，我遇到了形形色色的人，交到了可以相伴一生的好朋友，我想这就是来这里学习和生活最重要的意义吧。 Original English Text My name is Siqing, I’m a student currently studying at Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne. Starting from March this year, I’ve worked at La Soleille Family Office as an administrative assistant intern. For this article, I’m going to talk about why I chose to study in Switzerland and what differences between China and Switzerland I discovered during my stay here. Why Switzerland? Instead of choosing other popular countries such as North America or the UK to study in, I decided to come to Switzerland to attend university for several reasons. Switzerland is a safe country, both personally, financially, and politically. A low crime rate of almost zero, strict gun-control regulations and a high level of educated citizens guarantee a high level of personal security to live, study, and work in Switzerland. With a vibrant cultural life, beautiful scenery, high-quality real estate, and high-quality education, Switzerland offers a high standard of living. It also has a stable currency, strong purchasing power, moderate taxation, and permanent neutrality, which shows the economic and political stability of the country, and it is optimal for future investments. There is a natural sense of trust between people in Switzerland; Although people often do not know each other personally, they would help each other when they see others in need. "Solidarity" is part of Swiss education. Perhaps because they live in such a beautiful place with clear lakes and lush mountains, they tend to believe in the goodness of human nature and are very eager to help others and show them goodwill. Once when I was traveling to Grindelwald, I hurt myself when I fell from a scooter. I received so much help from different Swiss people, including passersby, rescuers, hotel staff, and so on. Although I was badly injured, it was still a very warm experience with a lot of help. Moreover, Switzerland has been ranked the most innovative country globally because of its strengths in innovation capacity, high-educated workforce, and most up-to-date scientific research institutions. It facilitates collaborations of companies, start-ups, and universities to do research and turn research results into marketable products and services to strengthen the innovative ability and power of the economy. Switzerland also offers an ideal environment for start-ups and young people who want to drive innovation. Here, Switzerland provides a good infrastructure and contact opportunities. Swiss hotel management schools are also highly prestigious; for example, Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne (EHL) has been ranked No. 1 in the QS (Quacquarelli Symonds), one of the essential, authoritative rankings of global universities, Global Hotel Management University for four consecutive years and ranked 5th among Swiss business schools. Swiss hotel management universities are known as the "cradle of senior hotel management personnel and professional managers," Their hotel management education offers a broad and practical education that focuses on improving students overall abilities. In short, these are only a few reasons why I chose to study in Switzerland and major in hotel management. Cultural differences It has been three years since I studied and two years lived in Switzerland, excluding the time of the Covid epidemic and internship. I discovered that the cultural differences between China and Switzerland are reflected in many aspects of life and work. In terms of diet, Chinese cuisine emphasizes the tradition of the beauty of the dishes as well as the sentiment, paying attention to the harmony of the color, aroma, taste, shape, and utensils of the food. There are specific requirements for the naming of dishes, the way of tasting, the rhythm of eating, and the interspersing of entertainment. Switzerland is located at the crossroads of many countries and integrates multiple European cultures with a fusion of French, German, and Italian food styles. Swiss people pay attention to cutlery, materials, and service, but more attention to nutrition, ingredients, and the quality of the food which is a rational concept of diet. Chinese and Swiss also have different mindsets, ways of thinking, and attitudes towards life. The most essential characteristic of the Chinese way of thinking is synthesis, which has a holistic view and tends to look at things as a whole. As Laozi said: “ The Tao produced One; One produced Two; Two produced Three; Three produced All things.” In comparison, the distinctive feature of the Swiss or Western culture is analysis, which tends to focus on the individual. A typical example is that traditional Chinese doctors believe that the human body is a whole and that localized problems in the body will be treated comprehensively, while Western doctors will treat headaches for headaches and stomach pains for stomach pains. From a work perspective, Swiss are about individualism, flat corporate hierarchies, direct communication, and shared leadership. The Chinese are about collectivism, clear hierarchical distinctions, and indirect communication. The boundary between work and life is also not as clear-cut in China as it is in Switzerland, especially now that more people are working remotely from home. For example, during non-working hours, most Chinese still need to respond to work-related messages and emails as soon as possible. Swiss people, on the contrary, preserve their personal life as much as possible without being affected by work, giving them time to socialize, focus on the family, work out or engage in other hobbies. Chinese and Swiss also have different perceptions of pace. In China, under the influence of fast-paced work and life; we want everything to be done very fast, when we make purchases online, we hope to receive the goods the day after; when we eat at a restaurant, we hope the dish will be delivered very soon after order; even for transportation, we want to take high-speed rail, maglev, and direct flights. On the contrary, the Swiss like to take their time in everything they do and everything...

带您感受纳沙泰尔的历史人文：雷梭勒瑞士办公室团建活动 I
带您感受纳沙泰尔的历史人文｜雷梭勒瑞士办公室团建活动 I 导语： 在本篇文章中，我们将会为您介绍近期雷梭勒瑞士办公室所组织的一项团建活动，通过雷梭勒同事的第一视角，带领大家一起感受纳沙泰尔的历史人文气息。 3月11日，雷梭勒瑞士办公室组织了一场团建活动。此次团建不仅是为了让大家放松身心，也是为了加强员工之间的沟通与协作，借此机会让大家更好地了解纳沙泰尔地区的历史人文风貌。 当天，瑞士纳沙泰尔办公室的所有员工驱车来到拉绍德封市的一个名为Le Maillard的农场（距纳沙泰尔市仅15分钟车程），享用了一顿传统的瑞士午餐。 一进农场，我们就受到了这里小动物们的欢迎，胖乎乎的猫咪、小鸡和马儿们似乎都对我们这些新来的客人感到好奇。农场的外观非常漂亮，房屋、包括室内的桌椅都是木头制作而成。 农场主人一家热情地接待了我们，进屋之前，每个人都品尝了一杯主人自制的热葡萄酒。 之后，他们又带我们参观了厨房，向我们展示了如何制作这些美味的食物，在我们到来之前还在桌上贴心地准备了免费的酒水供我们品尝！午餐期间，他们还不时地过来询问食物是否可口，是否还有什么需要帮助的地方。他们的亲切让我们感到宾至如归，这是在其他任何地方都很难体验到的享受和服务。 午餐我们吃了传统的瑞士奶酪火锅和牛肉板烧。奶酪火锅是瑞士的传统菜肴，需要将溶化的奶酪放进炉子上的锅里，用蜡烛进行加热，食用时，只需用长柄的叉子取一块面包，蘸上奶酪即可。我们吃的奶酪火锅带有浓郁的白葡萄酒香味，搭配面包尤为美味。 牛肉板烧也是餐桌上最受欢迎的菜肴之一，大块的牛肉在火热的石板上滋滋作响，浓郁的香气伴随响声不断刺激着你的味蕾，带来了味觉、视觉与嗅觉的多重享受，每一口吃下去都让人感到异常满足。 此外，我们还品尝到了Röstis，一种煎土豆饼，最初它是瑞士德语区的经典农家早餐，而后逐渐发展成了瑞士的国菜之一。农场主人告诉我们，煎土豆饼有一个非常重要的诀窍：在煎第一面时我们要盖上锅盖，待它煎至酥脆，再小心地翻到另一面，此时无需再盖锅盖，待这一面也煎至金黄即可出锅。只有这样，我们吃到的Röstis才是外酥里嫩，口感丰富。 之后，他们又为我们端上了自制的焦糖咖啡和甜点，也都非常美味。农场主人告诉我们，他们用的牛奶是从其他农民那里购买来的，既新鲜又全天然。他们自制的焦糖香味浓郁，与咖啡搭配品尝，口感极佳。我们的一位瑞士同事在品尝了一块后，赞不绝口道：“我已经很久没有尝过这么好吃的焦糖方糖了！” 午餐后，大家自然而然地聊起了天，谈到中、瑞两国的国歌时，我们突然发现，虽然都是国歌，但它们的演唱风格却完全不同。兴之所至，我们就在餐厅里唱起了国歌，在悠扬的歌声中，隔壁桌的食客也情不自禁地鼓起掌来。直到离开之时，每个人都还依依不舍，这是一段如此美妙的经历，令人久久难以忘怀。 这顿特别的午餐，让我们的同事在这个温暖的午后变得更加亲密。而我们也在经过了一段时间的辛苦工作后，借此机会放松了身心，养足了精神，并将以更好的状态面对今后的工作。 纳沙泰尔“美好年代”导览游（"Belle- Époque" Guide Tour of Neuchâtel） 所谓“美好年代”（Belle Époque）指的是从普法战争（1870-71年）结束至第一次世界大战（1914年）开始前，欧洲历史上和平安定的四十年。在此期间，第二次工业革命兴起，极大推动了社会的发展，由于医疗卫生水平的进步，人均预期寿命得以延长，与此同时，瑞士的经济文化水平也有了显著提升。 离开农场后，我们乘车返回纳沙泰尔，参加了“美好年代”导览游活动。在“普瑞广场”（Place Pury）的主广场上，我们见到了纳沙泰尔市的私人导游专家，她为我们介绍了本市的资助者大卫·德·普瑞 （David de Pury），他是瑞士贸易大使和外交官。他把自己大部分的财富都捐献给了这座城市，用于修建学校、医院和政府大楼，纳沙泰尔市因此获得了前所未有的发展。 1855年，普瑞广场中心竖起了大卫·德·普瑞的雕像，以纪念他对这座城市的巨大贡献。不过，人们对大卫的财富来源颇有争议，因为他曾经在一家从事奴隶贸易的公司拥有股份。为了让人们更清楚地了解这段历史，纳沙泰尔市支持并呼吁对公共空间的历史性研究与纪念性反思，宣扬人类尊严与平等。 导游告诉我们，一条名为“塞翁”（Seyon）的河流经通往普瑞广场的主要街道。到1843年之前，我们所看到的街道都还是一条河流，从汝拉山脉流向纳沙泰尔湖。尽管大多数情况下塞翁河都非常平静，但是一旦突降暴雨，河水就会迅速暴涨，引发洪灾。由于河水经常泛滥，早在1756年，纳沙泰尔居民就曾设想将这条河从市中心分流，以防再次出现类似1579年的洪灾事件。然而由于资金匮乏，直到1843年，这个项目才得以竣工。今天的塞翁河流经城市下方的一条隧道，最后流入市中心以西的埃沃勒（ Évole ）湾。 之后，我们上了普瑞广场上一辆名为Tramoscope的原始电车，电车上播放着动画视频与音频，瞬间就将游客带回了20世纪初“美好年代”的纳沙泰尔。我们在电车屏幕上看着那个时代的人们从早到晚的生活，犹如经历了一次奇妙的时光之旅。 结束这场时间旅行后，我们开始步行前往湖畔长廊。沿着湖边漫步，我们在雷梭勒纳沙泰尔办公室入口附近看到了两座青铜雕像。这两座雕像生动展现了“美好年代”时期男女着装风格：女士们习惯身穿宽松的连衣裙，头戴一顶大礼帽；男士们的潮流则是正式的西装三件套。在这一时期，中产阶级开始购买小件奢侈品，热衷旅行，以此彰显自己品味良好、与众不同。 在雕像的旁边，有一座延伸到湖边的桥，人称“乌托邦人行桥”。该桥建于1991年，本是建国700周年庆典临时展览的一部分，但是由于颇有魅力，以至于在庆典结束后仍被保留了下来，现已成为纳沙泰尔市标志性场所之一。 接着，我们又沿着湖岸向港口走去，途中，我们捡到了一块黄色和一块白色的小石头。这两种石头都是瑞士传统建筑材料，白色石头多用于地基工程，黄色石头则用于建筑的其他部分，握在手里可以明显感受到，白色石头要重得多。 最为典型的这类建筑就是“邮政酒店”（Hotel des Postes），耗时三年建成，于1896年4月1日正式启用。该建筑曾是万国邮政联盟的所在地，这是有史以来的第一个国际联盟，由纳沙泰尔的一位前联邦议员创立。在它的屋檐下，刻着31个成员国的名字，包括波斯（今天的伊朗）——一个在1935年之前曾经存在的国家!如今，这座建筑已是纳沙泰尔市邮政局和旅游局的所在地。 Original English Text Team Building Event – Neuchâtel Office On March 11, 2022, La Soleille Family Office organized a Team Building event. Jinling Sun, the CEO of La Soleille Family Office, stated the purpose of this team building, is not only to let everyone relax but also to strengthen the communication and collaboration between employees and to take the opportunity to get to know the region of Neuchâtel better. All employees in Switzerland, the Neuchâtel office, had a traditional Swiss lunch at a farm called Le Maillard in La Chaux-de-fonds, a Swiss city in the canton of Neuchâtel, and it is a 15-minute drive from the city of Neuchâtel. We drove up to the farm in the mountain and were welcomed by a chubby cat, chickens, and horses of the farm. The exterior of the farm is very beautiful and the house, including the interior tables and chairs, is made of wood. Almost everyone tasted the farms homemade mulled wine before going inside, and we were greeted very warmly by the family who owns the farm. The owners of the farm were very gracious, they gave us a tour of the kitchen, showed us how the delicious food was made, and kindly prepared free liquors on the table before we arrived for us to taste! And during lunch, they often came over to ask if the food was good and if there was anything else they could do to help. They give us a sense of home, an experience and service that we cant experience anywhere else. We enjoyed a traditional Swiss cheese fondue and meat on the slate. Fondue is a traditional Swiss melted cheese dish served in a pot over a stove and heated with a candle and eaten by dipping bread into the cheese using long-stemmed forks. The cheese fondue we had has a strong aroma of white wine and is very tasty with the bread. The beef was very large pieces, on the slate emitting a burst of bared sound, each bite to eat was very satisfied. Then we had röstis, a type of fried potato pancake, originally a typical farmhouse breakfast in German-speaking regions of Switzerland is now one of the national dishes of Switzerland. The owner of the farm told us the first side was covered with a lid until crispy, then carefully turned and cooked the second side without the lid to golden perfection. So the röstis we had was crispy on the outside and very soft on the inside, and it was very richly layered to eat. Their homemade caramel coffee had a caramel aroma and the farmer came over to explain that the milk they use is all-natural, fresh, and purchased from other farmers. Their desserts were also very delicious, they had homemade caramel sugar cubes, which can be eaten together with coffee and their flavors blend very well. Our Swiss colleague was surprised after tasting a piece and said, “I havent had such delicious caramel sugar cubes for a long time!" After lunch, we all chatted together and found that although they were both national anthems, the Swiss and Chinese national anthems were sung in completely different styles. So we sang the song in the restaurant together and the diners at the next table applauded after they heard it. When it was time to leave, each of us felt a little sad that we had such a wonderful experience here. Our staff members were also getting closer to each other than they were before having this lunch. After a period of hard work, we all took this opportunity to relax and refresh ourselves to be in better shape to face the work ahead. “Belle- Époque” Guide Tour of Neuchâtel The Belle Époque took place after the French-German War of 1870/71, during which Europe enjoyed a period of internal peace for over forty years until the start of World War I in 1914. The Second Industrial Revolution was its main driving force, as advanced in medicine and health, increased life expectancy, and a significant rise in the countrys economy and culture. Afterward, the team returned to Neuchâtel to have a “Belle- Époque” guide tour and learn about its history. We met our private tour guide expert of the city of Neuchâtel on the main square called “Place Pury”, thanks to the city benefactor David de Pury who was a Swiss trade ambassador and diplomat. A statue of David de Pury was erected in the center of Place Pury in 1855 to commemorate his contribution to the city, to which he donated most of his wealth to construct schools, hospitals, and government buildings, which has allowed Neuchâtel to experience unprecedented urban development. However, the origin of his wealth is controversial, as he once owned shares in a company active in the slave trade. In order to shed light on this history, the City of Neuchâtel supports the dissemination of historical research and commemorative reflections in public spaces to affirm the equal dignity of hu...
