最好的教育不全在书本里

The best education is not complete in the book

　　保罗·奥登和乔伊·奥登夫妇是美国人，持有美国教师资格证，可这对夫妇目前在中国贵州大山里任教，而且是不拿薪水的国际志愿者。他们任教的贵州盛华职业学院位于黔南布依族苗族自治州惠水县，距离县城有近15公里的山路。

Paul Greg oden and joey · oden couples are American,Hold American teachers qualification,But the couple at present in China at the mountains in guizhou,And it is no salary international volunteers.They teach the guizhou shenghua vocational college is located in the bouyeis HuiShuiXian,Nearly 15 kilometers from the county road.

　　和这对夫妇一起来到贵州的，还有他们的3个未成年的女儿。很多中国同事不理解他们，因为为人父母者都希望尽可能给孩子创造最好的受教育条件，而他们却带着孩子来到偏僻落后的乡村。难道他们不怕孩子的学习被耽误了？对此，妈妈乔伊的解释是：最好的教育不全在书本里，也在生活里。

And the couple come together in guizhou,There are three of their teenage daughter.Many Chinese colleagues don't understand them,Because parents all hope that the children as much as possible to create the best conditions by education,And they took the children came to remote backward country.Are they not afraid of the child's learning was delayed?this,Mother joey explanation is:The best education is not complete in the book,Also in the life.

一家人就应该在一起，这很重要 The family should be together,This is important

　　在贵州盛华职业学院，几乎没有人不认识Abele。这个黄皮肤、黑头发的女孩听不懂中文，一开口就是流利纯正的英文；她双目紧闭，拄着盲杖，脸上却始终洋溢着微笑。

In guizhou shenghua vocational college,Almost no one do not know Abele.The yellow skin/Dark-haired girl couldn't understand Chinese,A open is fluent and pure English;Her eyes closed,Rod on a blind,Face but always with a smile.

　　Abele是保罗和乔伊的长女，中文名叫阿碧，今年12岁，也是他们收养的中国盲女。

Abele is Paul and joey's eldest daughter,Chinese name, brigitte,This year 12 years old,Also they adopted MangNv China.

　　除了阿碧之外，奥登夫妇还带来了两个金发碧眼的女儿当时5岁的伊丽莎白和不到3岁的莎拉。

In addition to green o outside,Oden couple also brought two blond daughter was 5 years old Elizabeth and less than 3 years old Sarah.

　　为什么会在孩子们都需要照顾的时候举家来到异国他乡做志愿者？乔伊说：“我们在美国过得很舒服，但我们想帮助需要帮助的人。之所以会带着孩子们一起来，因为我们是一家人。我知道有一些中国家庭是孩子跟着爷爷奶奶、姥姥姥爷一起生活，或者孩子跟着妈妈在一个城市上学，而父亲在另一个地方工作。但我们觉得一家人就应该在一起，天天在一起吃饭、说话，一起住。这很重要。”

Why does the meeting in the children need to take care of the family came to a foreign country do volunteer?Joey said:"We had a very comfortable in the United States,But we want to help those who need help.The reason will take their children together,Because we are family.I know that there are some Chinese family is children follow grandpa's grandmother/Grandma grandpa live together,Or children with my mother in a city school,And his father in another place to work.But we think the family should be together,At dinner every day/speak,Live together.This is important."

　　到贵州后，大到衣食住行，小到生活中的各种细节都和他们曾经的生活迥然不同。孩子们不适应，“我要回美国！”阿碧的两个妹妹偶尔会冲着奥登夫妇喊，但即便如此，乔伊还是打算坚持完成当初承诺的两年志愿服务。

To guizhou after,To clothe and shelter,Small to life of the various details and they have very different life.The children does not adapt,"I must go back to the United States!"O brigitte two sister occasionally blunt oden couple shout,But even so,Joy is going to follow up had promised two years voluntary service.

　　“最好的教育并不全在书上，也在生活里。我们也是想借这个机会让孩子们看看，世界上还有很多人没有我们那么好的生活，没有我们的机会。”乔伊说。

"The best education is not complete in a book,Also in the life.We also want to take this opportunity to let your children see,In the world there are a lot of people do not have we then good life,No our chances."Joey said.

没有很多钱，却有很多书 Not a lot of money,Has many books

　　奥登夫妇在美国并非有钱人。在领养阿碧以前，保罗和乔伊都是获得美国教育硕士后从事教师工作，领养阿碧后，乔伊就辞去了工作，专心照顾孩子。“我们觉得可以不买好车，可以不住大房子，由母亲照顾孩子是最好的。”乔伊说。

Oden couple in the United States is not rich.In the adoption before brigitte o,Paul and joey are to obtain the master of education in teachers' work,O adopted after brigitte,Joey is resigned from the job,To take care of the children."We think it is not bought the car,Can not big house,The mother to take care of the children is the best."Joey said.

　　担任志愿者工作一年后，他们不多的积蓄也变得越来越少。一家人从去年来到中国后，除了贵州，他们哪里都没去过，因为他们没有很多钱。

As a volunteer work a year later,They little savings has become less and less.The family came to China from last year,In addition to guizhou,Where they have ever been to,Because they do not have a lot of money.

　　至于孩子们该接受的学校教育，乔伊一点都不担心。“我和丈夫都是教师，我们可以自己教孩子。”

As for the children the acceptance of school education,Joey is not worry."My husband and I are all teachers,We can teach children."

　　乔伊告诉记者，家庭学校在美国并不稀奇，美国有很多好学校，但也有一些不太好的学校，因此一部分人会选择自己在家里教孩子。她表哥的4个孩子，最大的已经大学毕业，老二在上大学，其他两个正处于中学阶段，他们在上大学之前都没有去学校上过学，但他们都非常优秀。

Joey told reporters,Home schooling is not rare in the United States,In the United States, there are a lot of good school,But there are also some not too good schools,So some people will choose to teach children at home.Her cousin's four children,The biggest have graduated from the university,Second in college,The other two are in high school,They in college before did not go to school go to school,But they are all very good.

　　乔伊搬出了一大摞书，都是阿碧和伊丽莎白的教材。她每周都会给两个孩子排好课程，周一至周五的上午9时至12时就是她给孩子们上课的时间。课程包括历史、地理、英语、数学和科学等。

Joey move out of a big stack of books,O is green and Elizabeth textbooks.A week she will give two children in good course,Monday to Friday 9 am to 12 is when she gave the children the class time.Course includes history/geographic/English/Math and science, etc.

　　她还搬出了一台小巧的盲文打字机。在领养了阿碧以后，为了扮演好母亲和老师的角色，乔伊就开始学习盲文。她的教学工具中还有诸如积木、橡皮泥等等。她说，如果她要教耳朵的时候，就会用橡皮泥捏一个耳朵。

She also moved out of a small braille typewriter.In adopted after brigitte o,In order to play a good mother and teacher's role,Joey began to learn braille.Her teaching tools and such as building blocks/Plasticine and so on.She said,If she wants to teach ears,Can use plasticine knead one ear.

　　相比处于教育焦虑中的中国父母，乔伊却一点不担心自己的3个孩子：“阿碧和伊丽莎白都比较喜欢读书，家里有很多书，只要爱阅读，数学还可以，就没有问题。莎拉已经可以认英文字母，可以用英文和中文数1到10，10以上就有点乱了，但已经很不错了，她也一点问题都没有。”

Compared with the Chinese parents in education anxiety,Joey is not worried about his own three children:"O brigitte and Elizabeth are more like reading,There are many books at home,As long as love reading,Mathematics can also,There is no problem.Sarah has can recognize English letters,Can use English and Chinese number 1 to 10,More than 10 was a bit wrong,But already very good,She also won't have a problem."

　　贵州盛华职业学院一位老师告诉记者，有天下了大雨，操场上积了一大滩水，伊丽莎白和莎拉都跳到水里戏水，保罗和乔伊就站在一旁含笑看着，一点都没有制止的意思。乔伊解释说：“既然孩子们这么开心，就让她们玩好了。回去再洗澡换衣服吧。”

Guizhou shenghua vocational college a teacher told reporters,Have all the heavy rain,The playground product a large pool of water,Elizabeth and Sarah are jump to the water paddle,Paul and joey stood on one side smile looked at,Did not put a stop to mean.Joey explained:"Now that the children so happy,Let them play good.Go back to take a shower in your clothes."

　　在他们看来，只要不是危险的事情，只要不影响别人，只要不弄坏别人的东西，就不会过多限制孩子。但是他们要求三个女儿要相互热爱，姐姐要爱妹妹，妹妹要爱姐姐，这很重要。

In their eyes,As long as it's not dangerous things,As long as do not affect others,As long as it doesn't break other people's things,Won't too much limit your child.But they are asking three daughters to love each other,Sister to love sister,Sister to love sister,This is important.

　　阿碧被收养的时候已经有了不少记忆，即便没有记忆，她的长相迟早也会让她明白她不是父母的亲生女儿。奥登夫妇也并没有打算隐瞒这个真相。他们告诉阿碧，他们很尊敬她的家乡和她的父母亲。每年阿碧的生日和被收养的日子，都是家里重要的日子。乔伊会告诉阿碧：“你的亲生父母肯定也在想你。我不知道是什么原因，他们没有继续抚养你，但他们肯定是爱你的，一定是因为迫不得已的原因。”（记者 朱丽亚）
