9月9日清晨，雨后初霁，空气中满是凉意，清华附中国际部9年级至12年级的学生们迎来了期盼已久的户外团建活动。9、10年级前往十渡公园，11、12年级前往燕山飞拉达营地体验铁道攀登。此前，出于景区防疫人流控制因素考虑， 8年级学生已在9月7日先行前往十渡景区进行了丰富有趣的团建活动。
In the early morning of September 9th, THIS high school students went on their long-awaited outdoor team building field trips. The air was crisp after the heavy rains. Grade 9 and 10 students went to Shidu Park – the same venue where In the previous week, our 8th graders also went to enjoy outdoor activities. Grades 11 and 12 students went to Yanshan Via Ferrata Camp to experience climbing.
学校组织这次户外团队建设的主要目的就是让清华附中国际部的斯巴达勇士们学会将学校核心价值观贯彻应用到实际生活中，并且进一步培养对班集体和年级的认同感和集体意识。
This THIS team building trandition allows our THIS Spartans learn to apply the school’s core values to their daily life and to further develop a sense of collective identity and awareness of their class and grade.
8、9、10年级十渡之旅
学生们都装备齐全，并带上了用心准备的美食。本以为一早的大雨会令出游延迟，没想到，大雨渐停，天空也放晴了，空气中充满了发光的兴奋。同学们尽然有序地登上了大巴车，向着阳光出发啦！
The students were well-equipped carrying food prepared with care. Students thought that the early morning heavy rain would delay ore even cancel the trip. But to everyone’s surprise, the rain stopped, the sky cleared, and the air was filled with glowing excitement. THIS students boarded the bus in an orderly manner and set off for the sunshine!
经过了两个多小时的车程，9、10年级的学生们终于抵达了活动的目的地——十渡公园。此时，阳光正好，风也和畅。学生们快乐地像一群音符，穿过摇晃着的悠悠桥，坐上了缆车向着山顶进发，四周是鸟鸣、山风和忽远忽近的歌声。
Grade 9 and 10 students finally arrived at the destination – Shidu Park as the sunshine became just right and the wind was calm. Like a group of musical notes, the students happily crossed the swaying Yoyo Bridge and took the cable car toward the top of the mountain to experience the surrounds of birdsong, mountain breeze and the sounds of nature near and far.
登山之旅开始。在过程中大家彼此帮助，顺着湿滑的山路上一路向上，大山似乎也随着我们轻快的步伐与愉悦的交谈醒了过来，送来阵阵凉爽的风。登山过后，同学们又来到了心动已久的七彩玻璃栈道。栈道悬空建在崖壁上，在阳光下泛着七彩的光晕，美丽又惊险。对有的同学而言，他们兴奋于这美丽的挑战；但对于另一部分而言，恐高让他们没法欣赏这无与伦比的美丽。好在有同学和老师鼓励与搀扶，所有同学都踏上了栈道。远处层峦耸翠，远山如黛，氤氲在一篇雾气中，像一幅水墨画，而近处大家则纷纷拿出相机、手机不停地拍照，为彼此留下了缤纷的青春剪影。
As the hiking trip started, the mountain seemed to wake up to our brisk pace and pleasant conversation by sending us a cool breeze. After climbing the mountain, the 9th and 10th graders came to the long-awaited rainbow glass walkway. The walkway was built on the cliff face and was beautiful and thrilling with its colorful glow in the sunlight. For some students, they were excited by the beautiful challenge, but for others, their fear of heights prevented them from fully enjoying the unparalleled view at first. Luckily, with the encouragement and support of their classmates and teachers, all students stepped onto the glass. In the distance, the mountains towered over the greenery and the distant mountains were dense in a fog like an ink painting. Everyone took out their cameras and took endless amounts of pictures.
下山后最后一项活动是七彩漂流，大家两人一组乘上了皮筏艇，在七彩玻璃构成的河道中，乘风破浪冲了下来，那溅起的水花中，满是青春的笑靥与欢呼。
The last activity after the descent was the rainbow drifting. Everyone got on the small crafts in groups of two and rushed down in the river made of colorful glass, riding the waves. With each splash, there were youthful smiles and cheers.

11、12年级飞拉达体验
与此同时，11、12年级的学生们正在飞拉达营地体验着“飞檐走壁”。飞拉达攀岩活动既保留了野外攀岩的惊险刺激，达到锻炼体能和意志的目的，同时又大大降低了对体验者的专业要求，所以在安全有充分保障的前提下，学生们也能够驰骋悬崖，更加立体地感受大自然的魅力。
At the same time, grades 11 and grade 12 students were experiencing the “flying wall” at Camp Via Ferrata. The rock climbing activity captures the thrill and excitement of climbing in the wilderness but without much professional experience required. The students learned how to scale the cliff rock using harnesses and cables.
11、12年级分两条攀登路线出发。一路上，会有不同难度的关卡，同学们应对着各种不同的挑战，克服重重障碍，所有的同学都勇敢向前、向上攀登。通过突破自我的活动，在与高山河流的互动中，培养了对自己的认知，从而建立了更强的信心。同时，过程中频频有同学给身边的伙伴伸出援手，他们在挑战中学习和成长，让自己更加具有同情心、同理心，不仅实现自己向上攀登的目标，同时也设身处地的为他人着想。
Our 11th and 12th graders set off in two separate climbing routes. Along the way, there would be different levels of difficulty and students dealt with different challenges. All were brave to move forward and climb upwards. Through the activity of challenging themselves, they developed a keener sense of self, thus built more confidence through the interactions with the nature. Also, during the climbing, students frequently gave a helping hand to their classmates. They grew during the challenge making themselves more compassionate and empathetic. The students not only achieved their own goals of climbing upward, but also learned how put themselves in the shoes of others.
登上山顶的那一刻，每一位学生都颇有“会当凌绝顶，一览众山小”的气势，一个个都挂着满头汗水，但这正是超越自我的胜利印记。爬完一程山路，大家收获的是对自己未来人生的积累。
The moment they reached the top of the mountain, the students really embraced the feeling of “being on top of the mountain and seeing the highest view” with faces were full of sweat. This was the victory mark of transcendence.

致我们
To THIS Spartans
最后，每个年级在集体合照中结束了一天的行程，而那未干的衣服像是不舍的情绪。不过我们知道，真正的旅程还远未结束，大家都会彼此打气，相互鼓励，肩着肩度过这充满挑战并不断超越自我的新学期！
Finally, each grade ended the trip with group photos. The students all know that the real journey is far from over. We will cheer each other on, encourage each other, and be the shoulder for each other through this new semester full of challenges. We will continue to surpass ourselves!
清华附中国际部的斯巴达勇士们，生活中总会遇到一个又一个“冒险”，无论你是否做好准备成为探险家，你总会遇到自己的那座“高山”。愿你们都有好运气，如果没有，愿你们在自我挑战中学会勇敢。愿你们收获满满爱意，如果没有，愿你们在坚持超越自我中担起大爱。
THIS Spartans, life is always one “adventure” after another. Whether you are ready to be an explorer or not, you will always encounter your own “mountain.” May you all have good luck and may you learn to be brave in your own challenges. May you reap the rewards of love and may you learn about great love as you persevere beyond yourselves.
