这也是种温暖

To all of my wonderful reading/writing group,

I'm just writing to wish you all the very best of luck in your exams next week. I'm sure you will all do well, as you were such a great class to teach, and I'm already missing our classes. You will all have shining academic careers ahead of you.

I'm busy with meetings and projects, but I hope to see some of you around the Language Centre next week. I'll be teaching again from 12th July on the postgraduate pre-sessional course for 8 weeks (while you are enjoying your holidays!)

Don't forget to keep in touch and contact me, wherever you are, if you have any problems.

Very best wishes and a big hug

Angela

刚收到angela的邮件，难以说出口的告别。前几天复习惆怅之际会莫名想念起上课的景象，和我们共度一年时日的老师。当读到这封邮件时，更是中五味陈杂的，哽咽的感觉。总有些老师，几堂课，几回面对面的交谈让你刻骨铭心，一种无形的异国他乡之爱，有时如此的珍重，你虽无法用字眼来描述，却值得好好保存。我们还有很长路要走，但以后很难能像现在犹如一大家庭般共度这一年时光，不会再有老师像angela一样在最后堂课的最后半个小时给予我们鼓励，期许，自信，同时带有丝丝不舍与眷恋。你会想起那人，那事。当你遇到困难之际总有个人随时准备好扶你一把时，你虽惧怕困难，却总能顺着那人指引的方向，走出困境。回忆，至少对我来说，无不是对现实，或未来未知的恐惧，因而对过去产生的一种留恋。

师生情是没有国界的，甚至是没有任何gap, 不需要任何适应期。特别是像我这么幸运能有接连遇到angela, mike这样的好老师，也给予了我久违的另一种学习动力。

年复一年，逐渐老去的他们微笑着向我们告别，茁壮成长的我们有些无情地离去。明年，对于我们来说是新的挑战，新的尝试。对于他们来说，是新的轮回，新的相识。以前总认为教师年复一年地教授着相同的知识，是否乏味与枯燥，熟知他们教的是书，读的是人。

祝福各位UPC教师，以后定能再见。
