我与辛胜利
我是1997年入学，攻读王兆安教授与卓放教授的硕士，在第一学期有英语课，由中国老
师授课。辛胜利是比利时人，是外教，与我本没有关系的，把我两牵扯到一起的是我表
姐。
陕西省和比利时安特卫普省合作建立了陕安外语中心，办公地点就设在交大外语系，辛
胜利就在陕安中心任教。1998年春季，我表姐准备赴美，我推荐陕安中心学习英语口语
，我表姐上了一堂课就赴美了，留下的课时让我代替她上课，免得浪费资源。就这样，
辛胜利成了我的第一位外教。
辛胜利幽默的语言，流利的汉语，都让我受益匪浅，陕安中心成了我参加教研室活动以
外的第二课堂，与本科生的小弟弟妹妹们同学英语。
陕安中心还办了一次春游，是去终南山，与大自然同呼吸，大家玩的都很开心。这也使
我第一次理解到快乐教学。
这次新冠疫情来袭，让我不禁想起他来，委托校友会的老师联系，很遗憾的是他已经离
开多年，断了联系方式。
Matt遇见Matt
1998年6月的一天中午，我从教研室到食堂用餐，路过科学馆，正遇见一群外国人参观
科学馆。正是导游员掏心掏肺的讲，两个外国人没心没肺的听，看我路过，竟然与我说
起悄悄话，问我知不知道怎么去陕西日报报社，要去领件T恤衫。我们一见如故，我答
应带他去陕西日报社。这就是我与Matt相识。
第二天下午，我和我的好朋友徐刚如约与Matt一起骑车去陕西日报社，报社的工作人员
很惊喜，给我们3人，每人一件T恤衫。
后来我到我伯父家，想邀请Matt到家晚餐，伯伯很高兴的答应了。Matt也很高兴的接受
了邀请，他抱了一瓶两公升的可乐，我们劝他吃饭，他只顾喝可乐。我到英国以后才明
白，西方人应邀参加晚餐是要带饮料，分享与主人，另外他们吃饭都是刀叉上阵的。虽
然那时候不了解这么多文化差异，在比比划划当中，我们是心心相通的。
不久他就回国了，在回国之前特意请人转交他们学校美国伊利诺斯大学的标识，我把标
识带回家镶嵌在我的书桌上，我也用他的名字做我的英文名字。
这次新冠疫情，也让我想起他来，到现在还是没有联系到他。
Friends come from afar. I feel sorrowful---a memory of the National Chiao
Tung University
Me and Xin Shengli:
I enrolled in 1997, studying for the master's degree under the mentoring of
Professor Wang Zhaoan and Professor Zhuo Fang. In the first semester, I took
English classes taught by Chinese teachers. Xin Shengli was a Belgian and a
foreign teacher. He had nothing to do with me. It is my cousin who brings
things together for me.
Shaanxi Province and Antwerp. Belgium cooperated to establish the Shaan'an
Foreign Language Center. The office is located in the Department of Foreign
Languages of Jiaotong University. Xin Shengli teaches at the Shaan'an Center
. In the spring of 1998, my cousin was preparing to go to the United States.
I recommended the Shaan’an Center to learn oral English. My cousin went to
the United States after taking a class. The remaining class time allowed me
to take the class instead of her, so as not to waste resources. In this way
, Xin Shengli became my first foreign teacher.
Xin Shengli’s humorous language and fluent Chinese benefited me a great
deal. The Shaan’an Center became a second classroom for me. Besides
participating in the activities of the research section, I was able to
mingle with classmates and younger undergraduates. The Shaan’an Center also
organized a spring trip to Zhongnan Mountain where we could breathe with
nature. Everyone was very happy. This also my first experience of positive
and happy teaching.
At this time, the new epidemic hit. I think of Xin Shengli and asked the
alumni office to contact him. Unfortunately, he had been away for many years
and I no longer had his contact information.
Matt meets Matt
One day at noon in June 1998, I went from the research office to the
cafeteria to have a meal. I passed by the science office and met a visiting
group of foreigners there. The tour guide's heartfelt words had the two
foreigners listening attentively. Seeing me passing by, they whispered to me
and asked me if I knew how to get to the Shaanxi Daily where they wanted to
purchase a T-shirt. As soon as we met, it seemed like we were old friends.
I promised to take him to Shaanxi Daily. That is how I met Matt.
In the afternoon of the next day, my good friend Xu Gang and Matt and I
cycled to the Shaanxi Daily together. The staff of the press was very
surprised and gave each of us a T-shirt. Later, I went to my uncle's house
and where I wanted to invite Matt to dinner. Uncle happily agreed. Matt also
happily accepted the invitation. He arrived with a two-litre bottle of Coke
. We persuaded him to eat but we learned that he only drinks Coke.
After I arrived in the UK, I realized that when Westerners are invited to
dinner, they often bring drinks and share them with the host. In addition,
they eat with knives and forks. Although we didn't understand the many
cultural differences at that time, we were connected with each other through
our gestures.
Soon Matt returned to America. Before returning, he asked if someone would
hand over to me the logo of the University of Illinois in the United States.
I took the logo home and inlaid it on my desk. I also used his name as my
English name.
The new epidemic also reminded me of him but he has not been contacted yet. | h***n
