I actually rarely got involved in this kind of occasion, you know, as a person who don’t have much sense of sports. But there, in CCNU, I couldn’t find any excuses to turn it down , for it seemed that this was an event that could make everyone participate in.
作为一个没有什么体育细胞的人，我其实很少参与运动会这种活动。但是，我却找不到拒绝参加华大运动会的理由。它是可以把所有人都包含在内的活动。
I supposed that the tasks of volunteers were just handing water bottles and cheering up. But taking part in the opening ceremony, that was a little bit out of my imagination. However, I’ve registered for a position, so just abided by the arrangements of the Student Union. Having undergone the training for a week and several rushing lunch time (as the conditioning always occupied my time for lunch and afternoon naps)，I had to recognize that the final effects could be called amazing and all of us achieved a sense of proud and satisfaction. But our work was far beyond that, following that we received another mission—— running with the athletes. It was already difficult enough for me to catch up, let alone raising a huge flag of our school simultaneously —— the flag was able to prevent you from going forward. “You know, it was just for its marvelous scene.”said one of my roommates,”But from the auditorium where I was seated, you can even describe this as a visual feast.”Well, for comments like this, my hard-working was just worthwhile.
我一直以为志愿者的工作就是递递水，喊喊加油诸如此类的，但至于说要参与开幕式的方阵，这就在我的理解范围之外了。但是既然已经报名了，那就听从学生会的安排吧。于是在经历了好几个没有午饭和休息的中午后（开幕式训练时间总是安排在中午），我们为运动会开幕式交上了一份完美的答卷，总算是没有辜负这一周的训练，大家也都对自己的表现很满意。但我们的工作还远远没有结束，在这之后我们还有陪跑的任务。于我而言，跟上运动员的脚步已是极限，更不用说还要举着阻力极大的旗子了。但后来，我听室友说：“其实就是为了那个场面啊。但是从观众席上看，是真的挺壮观的。”好吧，冲她这句话，我付出的辛苦也就值了。
Apart from that, as a member of the Voice of CCNU, I got a task of assisting the spot coverage. However things didn’t go smoothly as my imagination. It was dramatically embarrassing to be replied as “Oh, I’m a teacher so just go and make interviews with others”, that sort of words. Having been refused for several times, I felt overwhelmingly frustrated since I was not such a helpful person who I had supposed to. Still, in the end, we obtained something valuable.
除此之外，我作为华大桂声的一员，也接到了协助外勤的任务。但事情并没有我想象的这么顺利。最尴尬的是，当我要采访一些教职员工时，总是会被“哎呀，我是老师，你去采访别人吧”这样的说辞拒绝。每每被拒绝，我也是会失落万分，觉得自己没有帮上什么忙，当然最后我们还是收集到了一些有用的信息。
I have never thought that the sports meeting would be a period when I ought to manage to get by and which made me quite exhausted. My original stereotypes of sports meetings have been totally renewed, and people who are not enthusiastic about sports (such as someone like me) would also be able to find a proper position in such a great event and immerse themselves in. Moreover, it seemed that everyone would be embraced by the stage of the world and seated in an appropriate place as if this time.
我从未想过，在运动会期间我会过得如此充实甚至是匆忙。经过这次，我对运动会的原有观念也被彻底刷新了，像我这样不善运动的人在这场活动中也能找到自己的位置并沉浸其中，那在这个世界舞台上，我们每个人也都应该拥有自己的一席之地吧。
