留學(xué)打工

On a foreign land， they work hard to study and survive. As a member of the international student group， their experiences are admirable for others. However， people seldom know their endeavors on this path. Heavy school tasks， obstacles to communicate， and the large amount of living expenditure all become the miseries in their foreign lives. But they don’t choose to depend on families， but to make money by part-time jobs and realize their own dreams with their bare hands.

在異國他鄉(xiāng)的土地上，他們努力地學(xué)習(xí)、生活，作為留學(xué)生群體中的一員，他們的經(jīng)歷無論是看起來還是聽起來都讓人心生羨慕，但他們求學(xué)道路上的艱苦卻無人得知。繁重的學(xué)業(yè)，溝通的障礙，再加上龐大的生活消費(fèi)支出，都成為他們?cè)诋愢l(xiāng)生活的苦楚。而他們卻并沒有選擇依賴家庭，反而選擇通過打工來賺取生活費(fèi)用，用自己的雙手實(shí)現(xiàn)著各自不同的夢(mèng)想。

Fighting in Paris！

戰(zhàn)斗在巴黎

When speaking of the working experience when studying in France， Zhao Xiaoxi would not stop talking， stories of him are shooting out from his machine gun-like mouth and I am unable to fight back. But at the same time I am deeply attracted by them and cannot help carrying on listening.

He is a typical Beijing guy， who is a little bit talkative and riffraff， but his striving upward spirit makes others cannot ignore his appearance. Before going to France， he has worked for about 5 years and since he always yearns for the outside world， he resolutely chose to go out of the country using the savings of these years and go into Paris， which is everyone’s admiration.

Though the school there is publicly-funded， life spending was still a large amount. In order to maintain daily life， he chose many kinds of work. From food delivering in Japanese restaurant to grape picking at French vineyard， he has done them all. The grape picking was so tiring that he always got backache at that time and the rest time was all used for energy supplementary by sleep. However， he was most impressed by the days of food delivery in Japanese restaurant.

說起在法國留學(xué)打工時(shí)候的經(jīng)歷，趙曉曦的嘴巴就開始無法停歇，那些經(jīng)歷如數(shù)家珍的都從他機(jī)關(guān)槍一樣的嘴中，噴射而出，擊打得我無力還擊，與此同時(shí)，我也被那些故事和經(jīng)歷深深地吸引著，欲罷不能。

他是個(gè)典型的北京男孩，有點(diǎn)貧，有點(diǎn)痞，但就是有一股子向上奮斗的勁兒撐著，讓人無法忽視他的存在。去法國之前，他就已經(jīng)工作了差不多5年時(shí)間，因?yàn)橐恢毕蛲饷娴氖澜?，所以毅然地選擇用自己這幾年在國內(nèi)工作的積蓄走出了國門，去到了那個(gè)人人艷羨的巴黎。

巴黎的學(xué)校雖然是公費(fèi)的，但生活費(fèi)依然是不小的數(shù)字。為了維持日常生活，他選擇了很多種打工的方式，從日餐廳送外賣，再到去法國葡萄莊園采摘葡萄，他通通都做過。采葡萄的時(shí)候往往累得他腰酸背痛，休息的時(shí)間基本上都被用來睡覺補(bǔ)充體力了。而他印象最深的則是在日餐廳送外賣的那些日子。

The job was found on the community website of life service created by Chinese and the community gets a very interesting name called “Fighting in Paris”！ In fact， the delivering work was not that easy as imagined， especially for an international student. The streets of the city are famous for the complication and every intersection are in radiated dispersion. Once you go wrong， you may run into a big detour or even get lost and cannot find the way back. Besides， they need to ride a motorcycle， which is a necessary tool for safe and fast delivering.

Zhao Xiaoxi has work experience and quickly learned the doohickey after a period of adjustment. Things are like how to find the specific location on the maps as thick as a dictionary， how to divide the meridian and parallel， how to find the spot and how to recognize the landmark buildings at the side of the road. When talking about this， I can barely catch up with him which makes me be sure that the experience has become part of him.

China always poses as a state of ceremonies and is proud of that. But in Zhao’s opinion， French people are more polite. No matter in the elevator， at the doorway or on the street， they would say hi to you very warmly and talk about the daily life. They would give you a hand without hesitation when you need help， like when you are carrying heavy stuffs or cannot open a door by yourself， they would help you naturally. But the situation in China， as you may know， are like no one dares to help a falling old man， people don’t know who the neighbor is， not to mention greetings that a glimpse of a cold eye can be called as good.

這份工作是在一個(gè)由中國人創(chuàng)辦的生活服務(wù)類社區(qū)網(wǎng)站上找到的，這個(gè)社區(qū)的名字非常有意思，名叫“戰(zhàn)斗在法國”！事實(shí)上，日餐館送外賣的工作也并非想象中那么簡(jiǎn)單，尤其是對(duì)留學(xué)生來說，巴黎的街道是出名的錯(cuò)綜復(fù)雜，每個(gè)路口都呈放射狀分散延伸著，一旦走錯(cuò)路就會(huì)繞很大的圈，甚至可能會(huì)迷失方向，找不到回路。另外，就是需要他們會(huì)騎摩托車，要保證快速安全的送達(dá)一份套餐，摩托車是必不可少的交通工具。

本來就有工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)的趙曉曦，在剛接手的時(shí)候適應(yīng)了一段時(shí)間，很快就掌握了其中的竅門。比如如何從厚如字典般的地圖中找到送貨的具體位置，那些經(jīng)緯線是怎么分割的，如何快速地找到那一點(diǎn)，還有如何辨認(rèn)街邊的標(biāo)志性建筑物等等。聊起這些的時(shí)候，我?guī)缀醺簧纤乃悸罚屛掖_信這些經(jīng)驗(yàn)已經(jīng)成為了他的一部分。

中國經(jīng)常自居為禮儀之邦，并為之自豪，但在趙曉曦看來，其實(shí)法國人更加有禮貌。不論是在電梯里，還是在家門口，又或是在街道間，法國人都會(huì)熱情地向你問好，順便聊聊家常。在你需要幫助的時(shí)候，都會(huì)毫不猶豫地去幫你。當(dāng)你提著重物的時(shí)候，或者騰不出手開門的時(shí)候，他們都會(huì)自然的伸出援手。而中國現(xiàn)在的情況，不說大家可能也知道，老人不敢隨便扶，鄰居是誰大概也不知道，更別提打招呼了，冷著眼睛瞟你一眼可能已經(jīng)算是好的了。

The most unforgettable experience for him was the rainy night of delivering. On that day， he rode the motorcycle to deliver food as usual. But since he wanted to avoid an old man who was crossing the road， he stepped on the brake immediately and changed the direction. All of the actions， due to the influence of inertance took him away from the motorcycle for more than ten meters. He lay on the ground， a little bit slow-witted， and the only thing in his mind was getting hurt or not. He tried to move and control his body little by little to make sure the condition of his injury.

At that time， many warm-hearted Frenches clustered around him. Some helped him to stand up and some asked him if he needed to call the ambulance and be sent to the hospital. Even the motorcycle few meters from him was lifted up and the bags and paper towels of boxes on it were picked up and neatly placed. Although he was safe and sound at last， Zhao was touched by the warmth of Parisian.

Every experience of everyone must have the significance of its existence. For the years in Paris， Zhao Xiaoxi has always be a fighter， no matter bitterness or happiness， are all the most precious memory for him.

讓他體會(huì)最深刻的一次經(jīng)歷，還是那個(gè)送外賣的雨夜。那天如往常一樣，他騎著摩托車去送外賣，但因?yàn)樾枰茏屢晃徽谶^馬路的老人家，他立馬踩了剎車，并改變了車的行駛方向，這一系列的動(dòng)作，由于慣性的原因，將他帶出了十幾米的距離，人跟摩托也分了家，這時(shí)的他反應(yīng)有一點(diǎn)慢，躺在地上，腦子里想的只是自己有沒有摔傷，還嘗試著一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)挪動(dòng)和支配自己的身體，以確定自己受傷的狀況。

正在這個(gè)時(shí)候，有很多位熱心的法國人圍攏在他的身邊，有人熱心地?cái)v扶他站起來，有人不斷詢問是否需要打救護(hù)車電話，送他去醫(yī)院，甚至離他幾米的摩托車也已經(jīng)被扶起來了，車上餐盒里散落出來的包裝袋、紙巾等等雜物也都被熱心人一一撿起來，擺放整齊。所幸他安然無恙，同時(shí)也被被巴黎人的熱情所感動(dòng)。

每個(gè)人的每段經(jīng)歷都必然有其存在的意義，在巴黎的這些年，趙曉曦可謂一直在戰(zhàn)斗，不論苦樂，這對(duì)他來說都是最珍貴的紀(jì)念。

Growth is a dose of medicine which is like curved lips

成長(zhǎng)是一劑嘴角“微揚(yáng)”的良藥

Graduated from Sichuan Foreign Languages University as a Korean major， Cao Weiyang is now studying in school of Hotel and Tourism Management of Woosong University in Korea. When we talked about the reason why she chose this major， she curved her lips， just like her name （Weiyang means slightly curved in Chinese）. Like many other girls who were dreaming of romances， Weiyang chose this major because she was more or less affected by Korean TV serials. In these Korean TV serials where the story of the prince and Cinderella happens every day， most of the wealthy heroes who owe family enterprises are of this major.

Like many international students， Weiyang applied for the work-study programs of the school. At first she was asked to do some trifles in the office of Korean college， such as copying files， printing reports and running errands for the teachers. Such low income was not enough to cover her basic living expenses in South Korea at all. It was an accidental chance that once， director of the office was to receive a group of students who went there from China for summer camp， but the teacher was not good at Chinese. Knowing that she worked hard and carefully， the teacher asked her to act as temporary Chinese translator on the spur of the moment.

Before coming to South Korea， Weiyang had never imagined that she would speak Korean to Chinese children. From giving courses， teaching the children some daily spoken Korean， translating the Korean and Chinese interactions for the teacher and children at class to solving troubles for the children during the summer camp and made Korean clothes with cardboard with them， she dealt with everything easily and smoothly. Of course， after the summer camp， she got good bonus.

曹微楊，本科畢業(yè)于四川外國語大學(xué)韓語專業(yè)，現(xiàn)就讀于韓國又松大學(xué)酒店觀光管理學(xué)院。和我聊起當(dāng)初為什么選擇這個(gè)專業(yè)的時(shí)候，她嘴角的弧度一如她的名字。與許多具有少女情懷的姑娘們一樣，微楊選擇這個(gè)專業(yè)，多多少少受了韓劇的影響。那些上演著王子和灰姑娘橋段的韓國連續(xù)劇，擁有家族企業(yè)的高富帥男主人公大多出身這個(gè)專業(yè)。

也正如許多留學(xué)生一樣，微楊剛?cè)雽W(xué)就申請(qǐng)了學(xué)校的勤工儉學(xué)名額，最初她被分配到韓語教學(xué)院辦公室做些閑碎的雜事，復(fù)印文件、打印報(bào)告、給老師跑腿兒。那些微薄的工資根本不夠她在韓國的基本生活支出。一次很偶然的機(jī)會(huì)，辦公室主任要接一批從中國來的夏令營學(xué)生，但老師并不擅長(zhǎng)中文，看她工作認(rèn)真踏實(shí)，就一時(shí)起意，讓她當(dāng)起了臨時(shí)中文翻譯。

在異國他鄉(xiāng)給中國小朋友講韓語，在來韓國之前，微楊從未想過。從課程化教學(xué)，給孩子們講一些韓語日?？谡Z，到完成課堂上老師與孩子們之間的中韓互動(dòng)交流的翻譯，再到夏令營期間為孩子們解決各種疑難，陪孩子們動(dòng)手用卡紙做韓服等，這一切，她都應(yīng)付得游刃有余。當(dāng)然，夏令營結(jié)束后，她還獲得了一份不錯(cuò)的獎(jiǎng)金。

With her first experience of being a Chinese translator and earning extra money， Weiyang began to hunt for translation jobs on the Internet instead of waiting for the translation work that the teacher assigned. In addition to the translation work she got from the teachers of the office， she had ever received the invitation from Korea National Tourism Organization to act as a translator. Most of the translation work aimed at the domestic tourism groups that travelled to South Korea， most of whom were students， and teachers were the second largest group. The main content were brief daily communications during the tourism and the basic constitution principles of Korean. While working for Korean National Tourism Organization， she also took some translation work of airport pickup and delivery and hotel reservation. Besides the 1000RMB monthly subsidy she got from the department， she earned enough living expenses successfully.

When it came to the most unforgettable experience in the life overseas， Weiyang said， the heavy burden of study made her spend most of the time in the library. If she had not had the translation experience of the summer camp， maybe she would have spent the whole of her postgraduate life in studying. At first， she did not dare to open her mouth and speak in that she thought her Korean was not authentic enough， but now the situation was different. She turned out to be dignified and magnanimous， and spoke naturally and decently. Weiyang said that being not like other students who worked for Chinese restaurants or acting as purchasing agents， she chose a job whose salary was relatively low， but she had never been regretting. It was always a pleasant thing to do what she liked. This one-year translation experience did not only improve her Korea greatly， but also made her more sociable. Since the customers were mainly Chinese， she was more able to deal with various emergent situations easily.

There is a saying in the movie \"The Incredibles\"： you are more powerful than you think. The road on which we rush to grow up is the process we try to make ourselves powerful. You can never know that you are able to do something until you do it. After the summer vacation， Weiyang had to give up her job as Chinese translator and returned to the tough study， but I believe that at present， thinking of the experience， Weiyang will really curve her lips.

有了初涉中文翻譯的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，嘗到了賺外快的甜頭后，微楊開始不再被動(dòng)地等老師分配給她的翻譯任務(wù)，而是開始自己去網(wǎng)上找。除了接辦公室老師分配給她的翻譯任務(wù)外，她還接過韓國觀光公社的中文翻譯邀請(qǐng)。大多翻譯都是針對(duì)中國組團(tuán)到韓國旅游觀光的群體，以學(xué)生居多，教師其次。內(nèi)容則多是圍繞旅游期間日常用語的簡(jiǎn)短交流、韓語的基本構(gòu)成原理。在韓國觀光公社期間她又承接了接機(jī)送機(jī)、酒店預(yù)訂的翻譯工作，除了院系每個(gè)月定向的1000元補(bǔ)助金外，成功地賺得了足夠的生活費(fèi)。

談起留學(xué)生活最難忘的事情，微楊感慨道，學(xué)業(yè)的繁重讓她大多數(shù)時(shí)間都泡在圖書館，如若沒有那段夏令營翻譯經(jīng)歷，可能她的研究生生活就只能在學(xué)術(shù)中度過了。從最開始因?yàn)楹ε伦约旱捻n語說得不夠地道而不敢張嘴說話的她，已經(jīng)出落得端莊大方，談吐自然得體。微楊說，當(dāng)初并沒有和其他同學(xué)一樣，選擇在中餐館打工或者去做代購，而選了這一份工資相對(duì)不高的兼職工作，到現(xiàn)在為止她都不曾后悔過。做與自己愛好相同的事情，從來都是一件開心的事。這場(chǎng)為期一年的翻譯工作不僅大大提高了她的口語水平，也讓她變得更喜歡與人相處。由于兼職對(duì)象都是以學(xué)生群體為主的中國人，也讓她更能輕松應(yīng)對(duì)各種應(yīng)急場(chǎng)合。

電影《超人總動(dòng)員》中有一句話說，你比你自己知道的還要強(qiáng)大。在我們拼命奔赴成長(zhǎng)的路上，就是努力讓自己變強(qiáng)大的過程。不做，永遠(yuǎn)不知道自己可以。暑假結(jié)束后，微楊不得不放棄中文翻譯工作回到繁重的學(xué)業(yè)中去，但我相信此刻的微楊，每每想起這段經(jīng)歷，是真的會(huì)嘴角微揚(yáng)吧。

Being a purchasing agent： a tough experience of those years

代購：那些年的一種磨礪

Sarah was born in Sichuan. She is currently a business major undergraduate of Rotterdam Business School in the Netherlands. Since she came and studied in Netherlands， she tried to live independently. Although she came from a wealthy family which did not burden her with lots of constraints or pressure on the cost of living， Sarah still want to improve her ability by taking part-time jobs. The second year she came to the Netherlands， domestic incidents of milk powder safety lead to the prevalence of the trend of purchasing milk powder for others.

In the beginning， Sarah purchased milk powder as one of her friends asked her to. Due to the safety problems of domestic milk powder， her friend hoped that she could help to ship two bottles of local milk powder from the Netherlands to China. Later， the acquaintances of her friend got to know it， they also turned to her for help. They even promised to give her some reward for purchasing Dutch milk powder.

During that time， she got more and more orders. To get sources of the goods， Sarah had almost been to all the large or small supermarkets of Rotterdam. Since foreign milk powder was reliable and relatively low in price， her business was getting better. However， only Sarah herself knew the hardship and sufferings she had had. She said， in order to reach the goal of being economically independent， sometimes she had to work for sixteen to seventeen hours every day， and it was common to work until two or three o’clock in the morning. Admittedly， being a purchasing agent is not a full-time job， and Sarah’ main task was to finish her education in the Netherlands， but the increasing number of orders did take her much time which should be spent in learning. Therefore， time management and making reasonable arrangements was an important lesson she had from the purchasing process. But as far as Sarah was concerned， being a purchasing agent did not affect her studies， instead， to a certain extent， it was kind of practical experience and practice which acted as supplementary extracurricular learning. Since Sarah majored in Business， she said actually the whole purchasing process could be regarded as a simulation of a business. She slowly explored how to grasp the market， how to negotiate with others， how to find sources and sales channels， how to make promotions and so on， these were all important topics of Business. At first she looked for customers through friends， later she started to make use of micro-blog. She posted photos of her purchasing process， including pictures of goods and price. Customers enquired and made orders through micro-blog. \"Posting live photos on micro-blog can gain the trust of customers， and is also convenient for them to understand the promotion information， so that they can make orders and purchase instantly.\" These experiences are more direct than those obtained in the classroom， and her feelings are deeper.

Sarah，四川人，在荷蘭讀大學(xué)本科，目前就讀的是鹿特丹商學(xué)院的商科。自從來荷蘭上學(xué)開始，她就嘗試著獨(dú)立生活。盡管家境優(yōu)越的她并沒有太多來自生活開銷上的限制和壓力，但是Sarah還是想通過打工的方式來鍛煉自己。

她來荷蘭的第二年，中國奶粉安全事件催生了奶粉代購的熱浪。

Sarah最開始做代購是從一個(gè)朋友的委托開始，因?yàn)橹袊哪谭郯踩珕栴}，朋友希望借助她的便利能夠從荷蘭寄送兩瓶當(dāng)?shù)啬谭刍厝ァ：髞砼笥阎車娜肆私饬酥?，就紛紛找到她，也希望其幫助代購荷蘭的嬰幼兒奶粉，而且還會(huì)給她一定的報(bào)酬。

那段時(shí)間，她的代購單子越來越多，為了尋找貨源，Sarah跑遍了鹿特丹的大小超市，也會(huì)從網(wǎng)上訂購和尋找貨源，由于國外奶粉的可靠和相對(duì)中國價(jià)格低廉，她的生意也越來越好，但是其中的勞累和苦楚只有Sarah自己知道，她說，為了實(shí)現(xiàn)經(jīng)濟(jì)獨(dú)立，有時(shí)候每天工作十六七個(gè)小時(shí)，工作到半夜兩三點(diǎn)也是常有的事。做代購，畢竟不是全職，Sarah在荷蘭的主要任務(wù)還是完成自己的學(xué)業(yè)，但是越來越多的單子的確有時(shí)占據(jù)了她的學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間，如何統(tǒng)籌時(shí)間合理安排是她在做代購過程中學(xué)到的重要一課。但是Sarah覺得，做代購并沒有影響她的學(xué)習(xí)，反而從某種程度上是一種實(shí)際的鍛煉和實(shí)習(xí)，是學(xué)習(xí)之外的一種補(bǔ)充。因?yàn)镾arah學(xué)的是商科，所以她說實(shí)際上整個(gè)代購的過程可以看作是一次商業(yè)模擬，她從中慢慢摸索如何把握市場(chǎng)，如何與人溝通談判，尋找貨源，銷售渠道，推廣等等，這些都是商科的重要話題。最初的時(shí)候她只是通過朋友介紹找到客戶，后來她開始借助微博來拓展，在上面發(fā)照片直播采購的場(chǎng)景，包括商品圖片及價(jià)格，顧客通過微博詢問、預(yù)訂。“微博直播可以獲得顧客的信任，也能方便她們了解促銷信息，即時(shí)預(yù)訂即時(shí)購買。”這些經(jīng)驗(yàn)的取得都比在課堂上更直觀，感受更深刻。

Sarah now spends little time and effort in purchasing， in that for her， it is just an experience and practice， especially now， when people hold different opinions on it， and some countries have even introduced policies to regulate and limit this kind of purchasing. Sarah said she did not want to take the risk of touching any grey zone， which was not her original intention. After all， being a purchasing agent was just a work on the side. She should concentrate on studying and try to find a formal job after graduation.

Despite the debates it caused， Sarah said， as a kind of part-time job， being a purchasing agent allowed her to learn a lot， such as responsibility and sincerity. She said， what impressed her the most was that， she bought a birthday present for her mother with the money she earned as a purchasing agent. \"My mother was deeply moved， though she didn't say it， I could feel the tears and comfort in her eyes， because I have grown up.\"

Note： According to the regulations of Dutch government， only students who are taking programs for degrees could do part-time jobs no more than 10 hours per week. But from June to August there is no limit. Generally speaking， it is easier to find a job in big cities and in small cites there are relatively fewer chances， but the competition is accordingly not so fierce. The present salary of part-time jobs per hour is 10-20 guilders. In the Netherlands， students are required to pay taxes for taking part-time jobs.

Sarah現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)不太花時(shí)間和精力在代購上了，因?yàn)閷?duì)于她來講，這只是一次體驗(yàn)和經(jīng)歷，尤其是現(xiàn)在對(duì)于代購，存在著爭(zhēng)議，一些國家甚至出臺(tái)了政策來規(guī)范和限制代購。Sarah說她不想鋌而走險(xiǎn)去觸碰任何的灰色地帶，那本不是她的初衷，畢竟代購只是一個(gè)副業(yè)，現(xiàn)在還是應(yīng)該以學(xué)習(xí)為主，等畢業(yè)后找一份正式工作。

盡管有爭(zhēng)議，Sarah說，作為一種打工方式，做代購讓她學(xué)到了很多，比如責(zé)任還有真誠。她說讓她印象最深的事情就是，她用做代購掙來的錢給媽媽買了一件生日禮物，“媽媽當(dāng)時(shí)非常感動(dòng)，雖然她嘴上不說，但是我能感覺到她眼里的淚花和內(nèi)心的安慰，因?yàn)?，我長(zhǎng)大了?！?/p>

注：荷蘭政府規(guī)定，只有讀學(xué)歷課程的學(xué)生可以打工，每星期打工不能超過10小時(shí)，但6-8月份打工不受時(shí)間限制。一般來說，大城市比較好找工作，小城市的工作機(jī)會(huì)相對(duì)少一些，但競(jìng)爭(zhēng)也低一些。目前的打工薪水行情為每小時(shí)10～20荷蘭盾。在荷蘭，學(xué)生打工也需納稅。

Professional essay writing： an overseas part-time job in dark

論文代寫：黑暗中的海外兼職

When we are planning for the topic part-time jobs for this month， a busy figure jumped into my mind -- Dawei， who was my alumni when I was studying in the UK. His work experience was different from others’.

At that time， we had just finished our courses and there was some free time before we graduated. My classmates who stayed in the UK whether went travelling everywhere， or took part-time jobs here and there. One day， when I was doing my internship interview， I received a message from Dawei through Wechat， the main contend of which was that he wanted to find a part-time job， and asked me to tell him if I had relevant information. I thought that it was a mass message and I did not have any job information， so we did not talk much about part-time jobs.

But not long after that， I could hardly see David in parties or other activities in which he had great interest， until one day I went to the post office and on the way I encountered Dawei， who was in a hurry. After the greetings， he told me that he rushed back to write an essay. At that time our courses had already finished， how could Dawei still have essay to write？ Considering Dawei’s excellent English and study abilities， there could not be any need for him to rewrite. Could he be applying for a PhD？

My confusion was soon solved when I saw Dawei’s message in Wechat’s Moments： professional essay writing.

在策劃這期留學(xué)打工的時(shí)候，有個(gè)忙碌的身影跳進(jìn)了我的腦?！髠ィ以谟魧W(xué)時(shí)候的校友，他的打工經(jīng)歷和別人的都不一樣。

那時(shí)候，我們的課程剛結(jié)束，距離畢業(yè)還有一段空閑時(shí)間，留在英國的同學(xué)不是到處游玩，就是到處打工。有一天，我正在做實(shí)習(xí)采訪的時(shí)候，收到了大偉的微信，大意是他要找兼職，讓我?guī)退粢庖幌?。?dāng)時(shí)我覺得那像是一條群發(fā)的內(nèi)容，自己也沒有什么打工信息，就沒多跟他聊兼職的事情。

但在那過后沒多久，我就很少見到熱衷聚會(huì)和各類活動(dòng)的大偉出現(xiàn)了。直到有一天我去郵局的路上，遇到了行色匆匆的大偉，打過招呼以后，他告訴我，他趕回去寫論文了。當(dāng)時(shí)已經(jīng)結(jié)課了，大偉怎么還在寫論文？以大偉的英語水平和學(xué)習(xí)能力，不可能需要補(bǔ)寫論文，難道他要申請(qǐng)讀博士？

我的困惑沒過多久就解開了。我看到大偉發(fā)了一條微信朋友圈：專業(yè)論文代寫。

The dark occupation of professional essay writing has always been around overseas students. You may be followed in the micro-blog suddenly by a user who offers professional essay writing， or you may see an advertisement of essay writing among the information in various forums， or even the friend in your Moments could become a writer like Dawei. Dawei told me that， in a city or area where Chinese gathered， there were even specialized institutions for essay writing. These institutions may recruit some capable students to act as the writers. Dawei also started from the essay writing institutions.

When David was doing his undergraduate studies in the UK， he met a lot of Chinese who looked for essay writing service and Chinese who offered the service. These people formed a group gradually， and both side of the supply and demand could get all that they wanted from the group. Later， Dawei did not only work for the writing institutions， on the basis of his friend group， he got down to professional essay writing independently.

Dawei almost stayed in the room every day when he was writing essays for others. Imagine that， the teachers gave students two or even several months of time to finish a paper， but Dawei usually needed to finish it in three to five days. What impressed me the most was that one day， Dawei posted a thread in Wechat’s Moments： Broke the record again and finished it in one day. In Britain， the teacher corrected papers strictly. If they gave you a month's time， it meant that basically you had to spend a month in reading literature and then you could start to write. Professional essay writing must ensure high pass rate or even high grades， but in general people referred to professional essay writing only when it came to the deadline and they had no other choice. Therefore， people like Dawei must finish a lot of boring work such as reading， material collecting and data analysing in a short time. Professional essay writing required the writers to have certain level of English and studying abilities， besides， it needed to take a lot of their time and energy. David said jokingly that his black rims of the eyes gradually became less obvious only after he had returned to China for half a year. Every essay writer set the schedule for their life according to the progress of the writing and staying up is the most common phenomenon for them. Though it brought considerable income， it was a part-time job in which people should put their life.

代寫論文這種黑暗中的職業(yè)一直圍繞在海外留學(xué)生身邊，你可能會(huì)在微博上突然被一個(gè)論文代寫賬號(hào)關(guān)注，也可能會(huì)在雜亂的各種論壇里突然看到一條論文代寫廣告，甚至可能你的朋友圈里也會(huì)出現(xiàn)大偉這樣的朋友，搖身一變成為代寫。大偉告訴我，在華人較多的城市或地區(qū)，甚至?xí)袑ｉT的論文代寫機(jī)構(gòu)，這些機(jī)構(gòu)會(huì)招一些有能力的學(xué)生當(dāng)寫手。大偉就是從論文代寫機(jī)構(gòu)那里開始走上這條道路的。

大偉在英國上本科的時(shí)候，認(rèn)識(shí)了不少找代寫的和做代寫的華人學(xué)生，這些人漸漸地會(huì)形成一個(gè)圈子，供需雙方都能在這個(gè)圈子里得到自己想要的。后來，大偉除了在代寫機(jī)構(gòu)接一些兼職來做以外，還靠著自己的朋友圈，單獨(dú)做起了論文代寫。

大偉做論文代寫期間，幾乎足不出戶。試想原本老師規(guī)定為期一個(gè)月、兩個(gè)月甚至是幾個(gè)月的論文，大偉他們卻通常都要在三至五日內(nèi)完成。我印象最深刻的是，大偉有天發(fā)了一條微信朋友圈：又破紀(jì)錄了，一天內(nèi)完成。在英國，老師對(duì)論文的審核極其嚴(yán)格，給出一個(gè)月的時(shí)間，基本就意味著你必須要讀完一個(gè)月的文獻(xiàn)，才能動(dòng)筆寫。論文代寫必然要保證客戶論文的通過率甚至高分，而找代寫的人往往是到最后沒辦法而出的下策，因此，大偉他們就必須在短時(shí)間內(nèi)完成大量枯燥的閱讀，查找資料和分析數(shù)據(jù)等等。代寫除了需要寫手本身具備一定的英語水平和學(xué)習(xí)能力以外，還需要耗費(fèi)他們大量的精力和時(shí)間。大偉笑稱，回國近半年后，他的黑眼圈才漸漸沒那么明顯。每一個(gè)論文寫手的生活都是按照寫作的進(jìn)度來作息的，熬夜是家常便飯。盡管收入可觀，但這是一份把生活都投資進(jìn)去的兼職工作。

No matter where it is， essay writing is an improper part-time job. I asked Dawei for his opinion on the problem. He thought for a long time and told me that， in fact， he knew that it was illegal. The occupation also contributed to the abnormal tendencies that people do not study and do not attend to their proper duties. However， he lacked money at that time and could not find a good part-time job， so he did not think much and started to write essays. Dawei then asked me in return：” Do you think I should feel sorry for them？ It was the way they chose. If they wanted to be hard-working， they would not turn to us.”

Dawei is now working for a consulting company for overseas study and no longer engaged in professional essay writing. He mentioned it only as a part-time job in the past， which did not have much effect except that it helped him to make money. But in the day of the interview， I heard Dawei talked to a client on the phone， he said something， which made me feel that the part-time job of essay writing has had more effect on him than what he thinks. People in the consulting company usually encouraged customers to go abroad， but he said to the client：” If your child do not have the ability to live independently and the motivation to study， it is better not to let him go abroad.”

論文代寫無論在什么地方，都屬于不正當(dāng)?shù)募媛?，我問大偉如何看待這個(gè)問題。他思考了很久，告訴我說，其實(shí)他明白那是不合法的，這種職業(yè)也在無形中助長(zhǎng)了不學(xué)無術(shù)和不務(wù)正業(yè)的歪風(fēng)邪氣。但自己當(dāng)時(shí)因?yàn)槿卞X，又找不到好的兼職，就沒多想，做起了代寫。大偉隨即反問我，你覺得我要為他們而感到抱歉嗎？路是他們自己選的，如果他們懂得努力就不會(huì)來找我們了。

大偉現(xiàn)在在一家出國留學(xué)咨詢公司上班，不再從事論文代寫這份工作。他提起代寫，認(rèn)為那就是過去的一份兼職而已，除了讓自己掙到錢，也沒什么特別影響。但采訪的那天，我聽到大偉在和一個(gè)客戶打電話，他說了一句話，讓我感覺代寫這份兼職對(duì)他的影響遠(yuǎn)比他自己說的要大。一般咨詢公司的人都會(huì)鼓勵(lì)客戶出國，但他卻跟客戶說：如果孩子沒有獨(dú)立生活能力和主動(dòng)學(xué)習(xí)能力，還是不要送出國了。

Internship work： the last stage for finding directions

實(shí)習(xí)打工 尋找方向的最后一程

People studied abroad more or less have the experience of part-time job， since it is the best way to integrate into the local society and what’s better is that you can earn money by your own work. If the purpose of part-time job for many people is to make pocket money， then Jia Chao’s work may be an exception， because it is a necessary part of his curriculum in France.

Jia Chao has studied in French Engineer College for two years majoring in “Supply Chain Management”， which is a highly targeted major of learning how to optimize the production line and process flow of large enterprises and plants. In his first summer holiday in the country， Jia has to do internship as an assignment for the students. At that time， he has just been there for half a year and not fluent in French that he can only maintain a simple daily communication with local people. Fortunately， for the first job， he only has to stay for 4 months and the requirements of college and enterprises are not that strict on short-term internship in summer holiday， as long as he can do something good for the enterprise and be recognized by the college in practice defense. So he starts to hand in resume on the employment websites of France， since usually enterprises’ thresholds for such kind of short-term internship are relatively not high， so Jia smoothly enters in an American semiconductor company called Vishay only after one interview. Since the job there is quite basic， so for him it is like a preparation for entering a big company next time. Though it is like examining a thing hurriedly， but an experience for real.

The one with the deepest impression on him is the internship during graduation. It takes him three whole months to find the job. Because it closely connects with the graduation， the requirements are relatively high. Jia says he is very anxious since an appropriate job cannot be found for a long time. After many failed interview， he is finally accepted by a company which produces aircraft noses （AEROLIA， Subsidiary Corporation of aircraft noses production of Airbus Industrie）. Then he feels relieved.

The internship lasts for 6 months and is the best experience for really entering the society. His job is to observe and record the production process and the transportation and delivery process of the factory and analyze the consumption of time and the path to find out feasible optimized schemes. It is very in line with his major. He is very cautious and careful already and devotes heart and soul into the familiarization of the production process of air craft noses and thinks about the subject optimization even after work. He declines the invitation by his friends of going to bars and all concentrates on the subject studying.

During the internship， what impresses him most is Frenches’ spirit of dedication and dissatisfaction of current situation. He said， no matter how great the company is for now， from the boss to staff or even the outsourcing party are devoting themselves into the study and subjects for improving enterprise effectiveness. This kind of enterprise culture has deeply infected with him. At the half time of Jia’s internship， it happens to be the successful assembly of the thousandth A330 air craft， and the president of EADS （European Aeronautic Defense Space， holding group of Airbus Industrie） pays special visit to each of the assembly plant to make speeches and extend the appreciation for the contributions by every worker. For an international intern like Jia Chao， he feels honored and a kind of enterprises belonging and this makes him feel worthy to give out all of his energy and power to such company.

Everything comes to him who waits. With the help of colleagues， he finally designs a new scheme for optimizing production material delivery， which is recognized by the company and leaves an excellent record in graduation score. Of course， for him， the more meaningful thing is the process of times of failures and digging. He says， he doesn’t think too much， but just devotes himself into it. Practicing what he learns makes him feel a sense of accomplishment and what’s more important is that he finds the fun there. He now can do a familiar job with ease in observing， designing and applying the optimization system of enterprise operation and has found the direction after graduation， which for Jia Chao is the biggest harvest.

在外國留過學(xué)的人多少都會(huì)有些打工的經(jīng)歷，因?yàn)檫@是最好的一種融入當(dāng)?shù)厣鐣?huì)的方式，當(dāng)然更棒的事兒是你還可以靠自己的勞動(dòng)來贏得應(yīng)屬于你的收入。如果說很多人打工的目的是賺些零花錢，那么賈超的實(shí)習(xí)打工可以算是一種特例了，因?yàn)檫@是他在法國所修課程里必須的一環(huán)。

在法國工程師學(xué)院進(jìn)修了兩年的賈超，他所學(xué)習(xí)的專業(yè)叫“供應(yīng)鏈管理”，主要研究的就是如何優(yōu)化大型企業(yè)工廠的生產(chǎn)線和工藝流程等等，是極有針對(duì)性的一個(gè)專業(yè)。在他去法國的第一個(gè)暑假就面臨著需要進(jìn)行實(shí)習(xí)工作的課業(yè)要求，那時(shí)的他剛到法國僅半年，法語還不太熟練，只能跟法國人維持簡(jiǎn)單的日常溝通，所幸第一份實(shí)習(xí)工作只需要在企業(yè)實(shí)習(xí)4個(gè)月，學(xué)校以及企業(yè)對(duì)暑期短實(shí)習(xí)的要求也不苛刻，只要能對(duì)企業(yè)有所幫助并在實(shí)習(xí)答辯中得到學(xué)校認(rèn)可就行了。于是他在法國的招聘網(wǎng)站上開始投簡(jiǎn)歷，通常情況企業(yè)對(duì)這種短期實(shí)習(xí)工作門檻相對(duì)不高，他很順利地只經(jīng)過一次面試就進(jìn)入了一家名為Vishay的美資半導(dǎo)體公司。因?yàn)閺氖碌墓ぷ鬟^于基礎(chǔ)，所以對(duì)他來講這次實(shí)習(xí)就好像一次預(yù)備，為下次進(jìn)入大企業(yè)做的先行準(zhǔn)備一樣，雖然有點(diǎn)走馬觀花，但也算是一次真實(shí)的體驗(yàn)。

在他印象中最深刻的實(shí)習(xí)還是臨畢業(yè)時(shí)的那份實(shí)習(xí)，為了找這份工作，他整整花費(fèi)了3個(gè)月的時(shí)間，因?yàn)檫@份工作與畢業(yè)緊密相連，所以要求也比較高。他說因?yàn)橐恢倍紱]有找到合適對(duì)口的實(shí)習(xí)工作，內(nèi)心曾經(jīng)很焦慮，經(jīng)歷了多次的面試失利后，終于有一家生產(chǎn)飛機(jī)機(jī)頭的企業(yè)（AEROLIA，空中客車生產(chǎn)機(jī)頭的子公司）愿意接受他做實(shí)習(xí)工作。這下，他心中的大石塊總算是落下了。

這份實(shí)習(xí)工作共歷時(shí)6個(gè)月，是真正進(jìn)入社會(huì)前的最佳體驗(yàn)。他的主要工作就是觀察和記錄工廠內(nèi)的生產(chǎn)過程和運(yùn)輸配送流程，并對(duì)其所消耗的時(shí)間和路徑進(jìn)行分析，找出可行的優(yōu)化方案。這與他所學(xué)的專業(yè)非常對(duì)口。本來性格就特別嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)小心的他在剛開始的兩個(gè)月里全身心投入到熟悉工廠機(jī)頭生產(chǎn)的過程中去了，甚至下班后還在腦子里想著怎么才能完美優(yōu)化這個(gè)課題，朋友找他下班去酒吧，也都被他婉言謝絕了，只一心地?fù)湓诹苏n題研究中。

在實(shí)習(xí)期間，最讓他體會(huì)深刻的就是法國人敬業(yè)和永不滿于現(xiàn)狀的精神。他說，不管這家企業(yè)現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)有多大的規(guī)模，從老總到基層，乃至外包方都能全身心的投入到優(yōu)化企業(yè)效率的各種研究和課題中去。這種企業(yè)文化已經(jīng)深深地感染了他。在實(shí)習(xí)中期，恰逢空客第一千架A330飛機(jī)組裝成功，EADS（歐洲宇航防務(wù)集團(tuán)，空客的控股集團(tuán)）的總裁特地來到各個(gè)組裝工廠，向每一名員工發(fā)表演說并感謝大家的付出。對(duì)賈超這樣一個(gè)外國實(shí)習(xí)生來說，那個(gè)時(shí)刻讓他感到非常榮幸，同時(shí)，還有一種企業(yè)歸屬感，讓他覺得為這樣一個(gè)企業(yè)付出自己的全部熱情也非常值得。

功夫不負(fù)有心人，在同事的幫助下，他最終設(shè)計(jì)出了一套優(yōu)化生產(chǎn)物料配送的新方案，獲得了公司的認(rèn)可，也在畢業(yè)評(píng)分上留下了出色的一筆。當(dāng)然，對(duì)他來說，更多的是體驗(yàn)這其中的過程，一次次的失敗，一次次的鉆研。他說，當(dāng)時(shí)真的沒有想那么多，只是投入其中，學(xué)以致用讓他非常有成就感，更關(guān)鍵的是他發(fā)現(xiàn)了其中的樂趣，觀察和設(shè)計(jì)乃至運(yùn)用企業(yè)運(yùn)營的優(yōu)化系統(tǒng)，他都駕輕就熟，甚至畢業(yè)后的方向也已成型，這在他看來才是最大的收獲。
