不久之前，Iain校長(zhǎng)一封誠摯的致信不光引起了上海燎原雙語學(xué)校教職員工和家長(zhǎng)的共鳴，更吸引了多家知名媒體的關(guān)注。

Couple days ago, a sincere letter from Principal Iain not only resonated with the staff and parents of LYBS, but also attracted the attention of many well-known media.

**中的 Iain 校長(zhǎng)

在這個(gè)特殊時(shí)期，上海燎原雙語學(xué)校的外方校長(zhǎng)Iain Riley一直在密切關(guān)注新冠病毒肺炎疫情的變化。作為一位外籍人士，Iain先生來中國已經(jīng)十余年，毫無疑問他已將中國的上海當(dāng)作“第二故鄉(xiāng)”。

In this special period, Iain Riley, the foreign principal of LYBS has been paying close attention to the change of the new coronavirus epidemic. As a foreigner, Mr. Riley has been in China for more than ten years. There is no doubt that he has regarded Shanghai as his "second hometown".

媒體就疫情期間“留在上海的原因?”“怎樣看待中國為防止疫情蔓延所采取的各項(xiàng)措施?”“在此期間做了哪些事情?”等問題，記錄下了這位Iain校長(zhǎng)的回答。

"Why did you stay in Shanghai?""What is China's view on the measures taken to prevent the spread of the epidemic?" "What did you do in the meantime?" media mainly asked these questions and record the answer of the principal Iain.

以下是新民晚報(bào)對(duì)Iain校長(zhǎng)的采訪實(shí)錄：

上海燎原雙語學(xué)校外方校長(zhǎng)兼IB總監(jiān)Iain Riley于今年1月底回到上海。已在上海生活了十多年的他選擇提前回來。在他看來，上海人民和中國人民讓他收獲很多，“我覺得現(xiàn)在是需要我做出回報(bào)的時(shí)候，哪怕只是回到上海表達(dá)我的支持。”

“中華民族是勇敢而驕傲的民族，他們?yōu)樽约旱膰腋械阶院馈Ｎ蚁Ｍ吹礁嗤饧讶嘶氐缴虾＃c我們中國的兄弟姐妹們一起抗擊疫情。”不管是在學(xué)業(yè)上還是情感關(guān)懷上，學(xué)校都為員工、家長(zhǎng)和學(xué)生提供了極大的支持。老師每天都與家長(zhǎng)和學(xué)生保持，核實(shí)他們的健康狀況并確保一切正常。

學(xué)校的外籍教師還通過學(xué)校官方賬戶分享他們?cè)谏虾Ｉ畹墓适拢@不僅受到了家長(zhǎng)的歡迎，也受到了更廣泛社群的歡迎。

“I originally went back to Scotland in the UK on 17th January but quickly realised with the rising number of cases in China that I wanted to return back to Shanghai. I had originally planned to return during the middle of February but managed to get back in the last few days of January before many of the flights were cancelled to mainland China.

One of the main reasons I came back early is that Shanghai has been my home for over 10 years, and I wanted to be here to help in any way I could. The other reason is I am the Western Principal of a large Bilingual School with mostly Chinese students. The people of Shanghai and China have given so much to me personally that I thought I needed to give something back or even just be here to show my support.”

“The school has been fantastic in supporting not only its staff but also its students and parents; both academically and emotionally. Teachers have been in contact with students on a daily basis to check on their welfare and ensure that everything is okay. Our expat teachers have also been publishing their stories about living in Shanghai on our official school account which has not only been well received by our parents but by the wider community too.

Personally, have been trying to support members of my community by handing out additional hand sanitisers and wet wipes that I brought back from the UK. I will also be volunteering next week for a company that plans to hand out masks to the public.”

盡管學(xué)校未能像往常一樣開學(xué)，許多事務(wù)也尚未從疫情中恢復(fù)，但教師們都已在家就位將面向全校學(xué)生開展遠(yuǎn)程在線學(xué)習(xí)。此時(shí)，如果趁著上班的路上處處觀察，就會(huì)看到城市正在慢慢恢復(fù)生機(jī)。街上的行人越來越多，路上的汽車越來越多，商店和咖啡店越來越多，上海的活力將逐步綻放。

Although the school haven't began as usual, and many things have not yet recovered from the epidemic, teachers are in place at home to carry out distance online learning for all students in the school. At this time, if you take a look at the road to work and observe everywhere, you will see that the city is slowly returnin to life. With more and more pedestrians on the street, more and more cars on the road, more and more shops and coffee shops, the vitality of Shanghai will gradually bloom.
