  • EP.97 【阿兵妹在復興崗特輯】跟著我們一起訪問外籍生Vincent！Part II

    • 本集介紹

      • Aenbie 與 Dave今天再度訪問到正在復興崗就學的外籍生Vincent！

      Vincent是北喬治亞軍校生，但到了復興崗之後，覺得復興崗軍校有許多嚴格的管制，例如MDM的安裝與管制。

      另外，在北喬治亞軍校，早上有群體的體能訓練，體能訓練後就幾乎沒有連隊集合時間，下午5點後也可以換穿便服離開學校。

      當然，兩所軍校都有階級制，必須要服從與尊重位階較高者；不過，兩所軍校在階級上的體現不太一樣。相對來說，復興崗的低年級軍校生受到更為嚴格的管制，高年級軍校生的生活比較輕鬆，更重視如何學習領導統禦。

      • 英文重點
        1. PT （physical training）：體能訓練
        2. civilian clothes：便服
        3. uniform：制服
        4. rank：階級
        5. laid-back：輕鬆的

            • Aenbie 與 Dave今天來到北投復興崗，訪問正在復興崗就學的外籍生Vincent！

            20歲的Vincent來自北喬治亞軍校，準備升大三，主修現代中文！

            Vincent在準備升高中的時候，有一位來自臺灣的朋友邀請他一起學中文，他就此愛上中文，現在更是喜歡中文現代詩集！覺得中文詩與英文詩非常不同，尤其中文有聲調起伏，讀起來非常美！

            不過，中文字書寫是比較困難的，尤其還有區分簡體字與繁體字，所以Vincent現在很認真，買了一塊白板，反覆練習讀寫，希望可以精進中文！

              1. freshman：新鮮人（用於高中或大學）
