本期节目与以往不同，沙伊玛还邀请了她的摩洛哥朋友们一起参加访谈，为中外同学们分享摩洛哥的文化。访谈之初，沙伊玛先向我们做了一个简短的自我介绍，并分享了一些在中国学习和生活的感悟。

This episode is different from previous ones. Chaimae also invited her Moroccan friends to join the interview and share the culture of Morocco with Chinese and international students. At the beginning of the interview, Chaimae first introduced herself briefly and shared some of her experiences and insights about studying and living in China.

沙伊玛：首先非常感谢我的朋友们到这里来支持我，我真的非常开心。现在让我来介绍一下我自己吧，我叫沙伊玛，来自摩洛哥，我一直在那里生活直到我高中毕业，也是那个时候我开始考虑来中国。这是因为我之前看到过一些关于中国的视频和故事，这很吸引我，我认为来到中国可以找到我想要的东西。之前因为疫情我一直在等待机会来中国，我并不想在线上学习，我想真正地来到这里。大概等了三年，真的等了很久，我一度想要放弃了，也有考虑去其他国家学习。但是我的内心有一股执念一直推动着我，让我再试一试。最后，就像现在这样，我真的来到中国了。第一年我是在南昌学习中文，刚开始真的很难，那会我只能说很简单很基础的词汇。第二年我就来到了杭州，并且很荣幸我拿到了大学的录取。有时候我甚至会想我应该一开始就来这里的，但是生活就是这样，需要经历挑战才能得到珍宝。现在我同时在学习着贸易和经济，以及我非常喜欢的中文。尽管这并不容易，我也不会放弃的。

Chaimae:First of all, I really want to thank my friends for coming here to support me. I'm really happy. Now, let me introduce myself. My name Chaimae, I'm from Morocco, and I lived there until I graduated from high school. It was around that time that I began to think about coming to China. This was because I had seen some videos and stories about China before, and they really intrigued me. I believed that coming to China would help me find what I was looking for. Previously, due to the pandemic, I had been waiting for the opportunity to come to China. I didn't want to study online，I wanted to actually be here. I waited for about three years—it felt like such a long time. At some point, I almost gave up and even considered studying in other countries. But there was a strong determination inside me that kept pushing me to give it another try. And finally, as you can see, I made it to China. During my first year, I studied Chinese in Nanchang. It was really challenging at the beginning. I could only speak very basic and simple words. In my second year, I came to Hangzhou, and I was honored to be admitted to the university. Sometimes I even thought I should have come here earlier, but life is like that—you need to go through challenges to get the treasures. Now, I'm studying both trade and economics, as well as Chinese, which I really love. It's not easy, but I won't give up.

1. 韦覃曦：我对你的名字其实也非常好奇，我还去搜索了一下chaimae，这是一个阿拉伯语名字吗？

沙伊玛：是的，有一层寓意是善良的女孩，也像我的朋友所说的，表示的是“得到最多东西的人”

Wei Qinxi: I am very curious about your name, and I even looked up "Chaimae" . Is it an Arabic name?

Chaimae: Yes, it carries the meaning of a kind girl. As my friend mentioned, it also signifies "the one who receives the most."

2. 韦覃曦：我听说摩洛哥人从小开始就要学习法语，阿拉伯语，和英语，是这样的吗？

沙伊玛：是的，我们几乎能理解所有阿拉伯人的话，但是有时候别人不理解我们说的阿拉伯语，可能是因为口音或者方言的问题。并且因为摩洛哥的第二语言是法语，所以我们也会法语。

韦覃曦：那英语你们是什么时候学的呢？

沙伊玛：在学校里学习的。有些学校会把英语当作第二语言，有些学校会把法语当第二语言。

韦覃曦：学会三个语言真的很厉害，记忆三种语言的词汇和语法并不容易。现在你还在学习中文，有哪些问题是你们觉得难以克服的呢？这和你们已经掌握的那几种语言有什么不同呢

沙伊玛：完全不同，汉字的书写和发音都很难。像法语其实和英语有相似之处，阿拉伯语有字母表，但是中文就是直接的汉字。

Wei Qinxi：I heard that Moroccans start learning French, Arabic, and English from a young age. Is that true?

Chaimae: Yes, we can understand almost all Arabic speakers, but sometimes others may not understand our Arabic, possibly due to accents or dialects. Additionally, Morocco’s second language is French, so we learn that as well.

Wei Qinxi：When do you start learning English?

Chaimae: We learn it in school. Some schools teach English as the second language, while others prioritize French.

Wei Qinxi： Mastering three languages is truly impressive—memorizing vocabulary and grammar across all of them isn’t easy. Now that you’re also learning Chinese, what challenges do you find hardest to overcome? How does it differ from the languages you already know?

Chaimae: It’s completely different. Chinese characters and pronunciation are both very difficult. Languages like French share similarities with English, and Arabic has an alphabet, but Chinese is just direct characters.

3.韦覃曦：我还知道你们国家有着世界上最好的薄荷茶，那是什么味道的呢？你们现一般什么时候喝呢？

沙伊玛：薄荷茶其实来自中国，但是我们用自己的方式去烹制。一般的过程是这样的，先把水煮沸，然后在茶叶里加入沸水，冲洗掉茶叶的涩味。然后开始煮茶，先把茶叶煮一下，再加入薄荷和糖再煮一会。倒茶的时候会把茶壶举高，把茶汤倒入茶杯。有时候还会拉茶两三次让茶叶，薄荷和糖更好地融合。一般会花十到十五分钟这样。但是我个人其实没有很喜欢喝茶，但是我的朋友们以及大部分的摩洛哥人都很喜欢薄荷茶，一般一天可能会喝两次，早上或者下午。

Wei Qinxi：I also know that your country has the best mint tea in the world. What does it taste like? When do you usually drink it?

Chaimae: Mint tea actually originated in China, but we prepare it in our own way. The general process is like this: first, boil the water, then pour it over the tea leaves to rinse away their bitterness. Then, brew the tea—first steeping the leaves, then adding mint and sugar and letting it simmer a little longer. When pouring the tea, we lift the teapot high to let the tea stream into the cups. Sometimes, we pour it back and forth two or three times to better blend the tea, mint, and sugar. The whole process usually takes about ten to fifteen minutes. Personally, I don’t really like tea that much, but my friends and most Moroccans love mint tea—they usually drink it twice a day, in the morning or the afternoon.
