为进一步了解和关心国际留学生在校学习和生活情况、增进对中外大学生所在国家文化的认识、培养学生国际视野、促进文化交流和文明沟通，国际学院推出了教育开放推广季“跨文化视野”之“和山面对面”系列访谈节目。
4月23日的活动由国际学院的留学生招生专员汪河主持，特邀来自印度尼西亚的留学生叶荷（Sheryn Leaf）作为嘉宾。叶荷来自“千岛之国”印度尼西亚，这个被赤道穿过的热带国度，是全世界最大的群岛国家之一。她在印尼完成学业后，如今来到浙江外国语学院，开启了新的求学旅程。她带我们解锁了印尼在民族文化、传统艺术与自然奇观中的无尽魅力：超过1300个民族、700多种地方语言，爪哇、巽他、巴厘、达雅克等族群各具特色的服饰、舞蹈与民居，从萨曼舞到“船形屋”，从仁当牛肉到沙爹串烧，每一个细节都诉说着多元共生的故事。叶荷说，印度尼西亚是一个在多样中寻求统一、在每一个角落都藏着美丽与温情的国家，它珍惜自己的文化遗产，也正以开放姿态走向世界。
叶荷，来自印度尼西亚，目前就读于汉语语言与文化专业。
Sheryn Leaf, from Indonesia, is currently studying Chinese Language and Culture.
1.问：说到印尼，很多人都会想到美食，你最推荐哪些？
叶荷：我最推荐Nasi Goreng、Rendang和Satay。这些都是非常经典的印尼菜，味道浓郁、层次丰富。而且不同地区的做法还会有所不同，这也是印尼饮食文化的一大特色。
Q: What food would you recommend in Indonesia?
Sheryn: I recommend Nasi Goreng, Rendang, and Satay. They are classic Indonesian dishes with rich flavors, and each region has its own variation. This is also a major feature of Indonesian cuisine.
问：印尼的地理环境给你最大的印象是什么？
叶荷：我觉得最让我印象深刻的是它的多样性。印尼不仅有成千上万的岛屿，还有很多火山、热带雨林以及丰富的自然景观，比如Mount Bromo这样的活火山，非常壮观。同时，由于它位于赤道附近，气候全年都比较温暖，这也让自然生态更加丰富。
Q: What impressed you most about Indonesia’s geography?
Sheryn: Its diversity really stands out to me. Indonesia has thousands of islands, volcanoes, and tropical rainforests. Places like Mount Bromo are breathtaking. Also, being near the equator, it has a warm climate all year round, which supports rich ecosystems.
问：那在你看来，你觉得印尼最被低估的宝藏之地是哪里？
叶荷：我觉得是一些比较原生态、还没有被过度开发的岛屿，比如Raja Ampat和Sumba。很多游客通常只会选择Bali，因为它更有名、交通也更方便。但其实这些相对小众的地方自然环境更加纯净，人也更少，你可以更真实地感受到当地的生活方式和文化氛围。
Q: What do you think is the most underrated treasure in Indonesia?
Sheryn: I would say some untouched islands like Raja Ampat and Sumba. Most tourists prefer Bali because it’s famous and convenient, but these lesser-known places are more natural, less crowded, and offer a more authentic cultural experience.
问：那你可以详细说说这些地方具体有什么特别之处吗？
叶荷：当然可以。比如Raja Ampat，它被认为是世界上最好的潜水地点之一，海洋生物种类非常丰富，珊瑚礁生态也保存得很好。而Sumba则更偏向人文特色，当地仍然保留着很多传统习俗，比如传统村落、节庆活动等，你可以看到非常原始、真实的生活状态，这在现代社会中其实很难得。
Q: Can you tell us more about what makes these places special?
Sheryn: Sure. Raja Ampat is one of the best diving destinations in the world, with incredible marine biodiversity and well-preserved coral reefs. Sumba, on the other hand, is more about culture — it still keeps many traditional customs and lifestyles, which is quite rare nowadays.
2.问：印尼有哪些你特别推荐的旅游景点？为什么你想推荐它们？
叶荷：我会推荐Borobudur、Komodo National Park以及巴厘岛。婆罗浮屠是世界上最大的佛教寺庙，非常有历史价值；科莫多国家公园可以看到独特的科莫多巨蜥；而巴厘岛则融合了自然风光和文化体验，非常适合第一次去印尼的游客。
Q: What tourist attractions would you recommend and why?
Sheryn: I would recommend Borobudur, Komodo National Park, and Bali. Borobudur is historically significant, Komodo is unique for wildlife, and Bali combines natural scenery and cultural experiences, making it an ideal destination for first-time visitors to Indonesia.
问：在印尼，有哪些行为可能会被认为是不礼貌的？
叶荷：比如在一些地区，用左手递东西会被认为不太礼貌，因为左手在传统观念中被认为是不干净的。另外，对长辈不够尊重，比如说话太直接或者没有礼貌用语，也会让人觉得不舒服。所以在印尼，礼貌和尊重是非常重要的。
Q: What is considered impolite in Indonesia?
Sheryn: In some areas, using your left hand to give something is considered impolite. Also, showing a lack of respect to elders, like speaking too directly, may be seen as rude. Politeness is very important in Indonesia.
问：印尼文化中有哪些特别重要的价值观？
叶荷：我觉得最重要的一个概念是“Gotong Royong”，就是一种互帮互助、集体合作的精神。在印尼的很多社区中，人们会自发地一起完成一些事情，比如修路、办活动等。这种强调集体而不是个人的价值观，其实让人感觉非常温暖，也体现了人与人之间的紧密联系。
Q: What are some important cultural values in Indonesia?
Sheryn: I think the most important concept is "Gotong Royong", which is a spirit of mutual assistance and collective cooperation. In many communities in Indonesia, people will voluntarily work together to accomplish certain tasks, such as building roads and organizing events. This value that emphasizes the collective rather than the individual actually makes people feel very warm and reflects the close connection between people.
3.问：你觉得印尼文化和中国文化有哪些有趣的差异？
叶荷：我觉得一个很明显的差异是在饮食和宗教方面。印尼的食物通常会使用很多香料，味道比较浓烈，而中国菜则更加多样化。还有一点是，印尼是一个多宗教国家，宗教在很多人的日常生活中都占据重要位置，比如饮食习惯、节日等都会受到影响。
Q: What are the cultural differences between Indonesia and China?
Sheryn:I think a very obvious difference lies in the aspects of diet and religion. Indonesian food usually uses a lot of spices and has a stronger flavor, while Chinese cuisine is more diverse. Another point is that Indonesia is a multi-religious country, and religion plays a significant role in the daily lives of many people, such as in dietary habits and festivals, which are all affected.
问：那在生活节奏和作息方面，有什么不同吗？
叶荷：整体来说，印尼的生活节奏会更慢一些，人们更注重享受生活，而不是一味追求效率。比如很多地方的生活方式比较悠闲，人们会花更多时间和家人、朋友在一起，这一点和一些节奏较快的城市形成了对比。
Q: Are there differences in daily lifestyle or routines?
Sheryn: Life in Indonesia is generally slower. People there place more emphasis on enjoying life rather than solely pursuing efficiency. For instance, the lifestyles in many places are quite laid-back. People spend more time with their families and friends, which contrasts with some cities that have a faster pace of life.
问：如果让你用一句话来介绍印尼，你会怎么说？
叶荷：我会说，印尼是一个融合了自然美景、多元文化和传统价值的国家，是一个真正“写在岛屿上的天堂”，无论是旅行还是生活，都能带来非常独特的体验。
Q: How would you describe Indonesia in one sentence?
Sheryn: I would say, Indonesia is a country that combines natural beauty, cultural diversity, and strong traditions — truly a paradise written in islands. Whether it is for traveling or living, it can offer very unique experiences.
汪河：真是一次让人印象深刻的分享！感谢叶荷带我们看到了一个充满温度与色彩的印度尼西亚。我相信在座的每一位都有被打动，也对这片土地多了许多向往和好奇。再次感谢叶荷！也谢谢今天到场的每一位朋友。

Wang He: That’s truly impressive! I would thank Sheryn for showing us a Indonesia full of warmth and colors. I believe everyone here was touched and developed a lot of longing and curiosity for this land. Once again, thank you, and thank you to all the friends present today.
Sheryn: Thank you. And thank you all for listening to my sharing so attentively. Seeing that you are so interested in the culture and life of Indonesia, I am really very happy! I hope that in the future, everyone will have the opportunity to visit Indonesia. There are many beautiful islands and warm people waiting for you there!
