台风无情，外院有义
（记者 苏俊强）2018年9月16日，超强台风“山竹”袭击珠海。遭遇台风袭击后的校园，大树倾倒，枯枝遍布，让人想起了去年的台风“天鸽”。为助力校园重建，9月17日，外国语学院党总支号召学院全体师生参与重建工作。
倡议发出后，学院迅速组成了一支灾后清理志愿者队伍，其中包括外教和这个月刚入学的新生们。外教Linda 说之所以两次积极参与校园重建工作，是因为她是北师珠这个大家庭的一份子，她很高兴可以和北师珠的学生们一起重建校园，这也是她给儿子一次帮助他人的机会。
别看外院的学生们白净秀气，干起活来却丝毫不惧脏累。在缺少清扫工具的情况下，师生们毫不犹豫地空手把碎枝、垃圾抱上卡车，同时又就地取材，用废弃的塑料袋处理大块垃圾以提高工作效率。大家很快把学二生活区的垃圾、枝叶等基本清理干净，保证了粤华生活区同学们的正常出行及安全。
此次清理志愿工作顺利完成，展现了外院师生的责任心、凝聚力与耐苦精神。在全校师生的共同努力下，北师珠很快恢复其最美山谷大学之魅。
SFL Volunteers After Typhoon Mangkhut
Translated by Yan Chengyu
A voluntary group was organized immediately by the General Branch of CCP of SFL after the super typhoon Mangkhut, which attacked Zhuhai severely on the September 16th, 2018, leaving Beijing Normal University Zhuhai in disorder with trees down, glass in pieces and rubbish everywhere. The dreadful scene reminds people of the super typhoon Hato last year.
Despite the severity of typhoon, the voluntary students of BNUZ still held their high morale, including foreign teachers and the freshmen who showed no fear to the tiredness and bitterness. Ms.Linda Visner, who attended the activity last year in Hato, said the reason that she joined in the voluntary work was that that she lives in BNUZ and she is a member of the family. She is happy to rebuild the campus with students and she thinks this is the moment for her son to help others.
Although they are students, yet they are so fearless toward the dirty when they are working. Without tools, students put the branches and rubbish up to the truck with their naked hands without any hesitation. At the same time, they made advantaged of the plastic bags nearby to carry the chunk of waste. The clean-up made the students who live in Yuehua area go out more conveniently and safely.
This voluntary activity is an embodiment of unity, responsibility and resistance towards the bitter, which is worth referring to all the teachers and students of BNUZ. Thank you all for the devotion to the beautiful BNUZ!
