Schools：moving with the times

What does your school look like？ Square buildings （方正的建筑） and rooms， rows of desks， a teacher standing at the front？ Most schools are like this. But new ideas for how to design campuses are here. These schools may give us some ideas.

你的學(xué)校是什么樣子的？是方正的建筑里，一間間房子，一排排桌子，有一位老師站在教室前吧？大多數(shù)學(xué)校應(yīng)該都是這樣的。但是關(guān)于如何設(shè)計(jì)校園的新想法已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)了。下面介紹的這幾所學(xué)校可能會(huì)帶給我們一些不一樣的想法。

Close to nature 花園式校園

Learning doesnt just happen in the classroom， but anywhere in school. In future schools， students might study outside. The schools should look more like gardens than factories （工廠）.

學(xué)習(xí)不僅可以發(fā)生在教室里，還可以發(fā)生在學(xué)校的任何地方。在未來(lái)的學(xué)校里，學(xué)生可以在教室外學(xué)習(xí)。學(xué)校應(yīng)該看起來(lái)更像花園而不是工廠。

Beijing No 4 High School Fangshan Campus is a good example of a “garden school”.

北京第四中學(xué)房山校區(qū)就是“花園式學(xué)?！钡囊粋€(gè)很好的例子。

There is green grass on the rooftops （屋頂）. It makes the whole campus （校園） look like rolling hills （起伏的山巒）. Many gardens， big and small， are all over campus. The most special part is the schools rooftop farm. It has 36 plots （一塊地） for the schools 36 classes. It gives students a chance to learn farming techniques （技能）.

學(xué)校屋頂上種有草坪，它使整個(gè)校園看起來(lái)像延綿起伏的山丘。校園里有許多花園，無(wú)論大小，遍布校園。最特別的部分是學(xué)校的屋頂農(nóng)場(chǎng)，那里有36個(gè)地塊，供學(xué)校的36個(gè)班使用。屋頂農(nóng)場(chǎng)給學(xué)生們提供了一個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)農(nóng)業(yè)技術(shù)的機(jī)會(huì)。

棉花糖：我上小學(xué)的時(shí)候，學(xué)校也有這樣的農(nóng)場(chǎng)，我自己也分得一塊小農(nóng)田。那時(shí)的我除了讀書寫字，就是種地啦！小農(nóng)田讓我體會(huì)了種植的辛勞，也享受了豐收的喜悅，是一種很棒的體驗(yàn)！希望每個(gè)學(xué)校都能有這樣的農(nóng)場(chǎng)！

Creative & sporty 有創(chuàng)意的屋頂跑道

When schools dont have enough space， what can they do？ Tiantai No. 2 Primary School in Hangzhou has an idea.

當(dāng)學(xué)校沒(méi)有足夠的空間時(shí)，那該怎么辦呢？杭州天臺(tái)第二小學(xué)有了這樣一個(gè)想法。

The school looks like an oval （橢圓）. There is a running track （跑道） on its rooftop. But you dont need to worry about safety （安全性）. There is a strong glass wall and high fences （柵欄） along the track.

天臺(tái)第二小學(xué)看起來(lái)像一個(gè)橢圓形。屋頂上有一條紅色跑道，但你不需要擔(dān)心它的安全性，（因?yàn)椋┡艿肋吷嫌幸坏缊?jiān)固的玻璃墻和高柵欄。

“Childhood would be much less fun if children lose the right to enjoy running，” said architect Ruan Hao， designer of the school. The schools track gives students a beautiful place to exercise in. It also shows them a good example of how to be creative.

“如果孩子們失去了享受跑步的權(quán)利，童年就會(huì)變得不那么有趣了。”這所學(xué)校的設(shè)計(jì)師阮昊說(shuō)。學(xué)校的跑道不僅為學(xué)生提供了一個(gè)鍛煉的好地方，還向人們展示了校園該如何創(chuàng)新，這是一個(gè)很好的例子。

Open & interactive 互動(dòng)式校園

In a world with the internet and computers， students dont have to go to school to get information. Will we still need schools in the future？

在一個(gè)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)、計(jì)算機(jī)的世界里，學(xué)生們不必去學(xué)校獲取信息（和知識(shí)）了。我們將來(lái)還需要學(xué)校嗎？

Of course，we human beings （人類） are different from machines （機(jī)器），for we can really feel. Schools should give people as many chances to meet other people as possible.

當(dāng)然需要了。我們?nèi)祟惒煌跈C(jī)器，因?yàn)槲覀兛梢哉嬲馗兄W(xué)校應(yīng)該給學(xué)生盡可能多的機(jī)會(huì)去認(rèn)識(shí)其他人。

So the classrooms of Chaoyang Future School in Beijing have glass walls. People can easily find each other and talk. There are no blackboards in the classrooms，meaning there is no front or back to the room. Students can move their own tables around to make a bigger round table，with teachers sitting among them. They can interact （互動(dòng)） more with each other.

所以北京朝陽(yáng)未來(lái)學(xué)校的教室里有玻璃墻，學(xué)生們可以很容易地找到對(duì)方并進(jìn)行交談。教室里沒(méi)有黑板，意思就是教室的前面沒(méi)有，后面也沒(méi)有。學(xué)生們可以自如地搬動(dòng)桌椅，坐成一個(gè)更大的圓桌，老師坐在他們中間（講課）。（這種方式）師生可以更好更多地進(jìn)行互動(dòng)，相互交流。
