京领主办的全球学术论坛以推动全球教育、培养和发掘具有国际化创新人才为至高目标。在此,我非常荣幸地向大家介绍我们学校高中十二年级(毕业班)的学生,Jill Wang 和 Jackie Wang 所取得的优异成绩:在2023全球院士挑战赛中国区决赛中,Jill 获得二等奖,Jackie 获得三等奖。
Their outstanding accomplishments serve as an inspiration to their peers and the wider academic community. First, I want to congratulate you two on your accomplishments! On behalf of the ISA Magazine, we are eager to delve deeper into your experiences, insights, and advice. This interview will provide an opportunity for students to gain valuable knowledge and to seek perspectives from their academic journeys.
他们的杰出成就不仅激励着他们的同学,也在更广泛的学术界引起了关注。首先,我要向你们两位表示最诚挚的祝贺!我们希望能够代表《爱莎校刊》更深入地了解你们的经历、见解和建议。这次的采访将为学生们提供一个获取宝贵知识的机会,并从你们的学术历程中寻求观点。
Angela:
Jill, we're intrigued by your choice of the prompt "What Would Happen if We Ban Billionaires." Could you delve into the factors or influences that inspired you to explore this topic? What motivated you to delve into the potential consequences and implications of such a ban on billionaire individuals?
Jill,我们对你的选题“如果我们禁止亿万富翁会发生什么“很有兴趣,想了解是什么激发了你对这个话题的探讨吗?以及是什么促使你去研究禁止亿万富翁的潜在后果和影响?
Jill:
People all share a common cognition that COVID-19 sent shockwaves to the whole global economy, leaving it in a state of disarray and inflicting prolonged suffering upon humanity. However, they may be unaware of an astonishing fact: a select group comprising billionaires has witnessed their fortunes double amidst this catastrophe, exacerbating inequality. In fact, COVID-19 is not the culprit for the ever-widening inequality. It exposed the issue of excessive inequality, which persists in the 21st century. Profound impacts of economic inequality transcend merely economic aspects, extending to social aspects such as social cohesion. Thus, measures are needed to address the problem. Inspired by the French economist Thomas Piketty’s influential work “Capital in the 21st Century”, which condemned billionaires as catalysts for the ever-widening chasm of inequality, I finalised my ideas and explored this prompt. At first glance, it may seem reasonable to simply deduce that billionaires are detrimental to the economy and deserving of restraints. However, the feasibility and effectiveness of instruments targeting billionaires are still questionable and negative economic effects could also result. This necessitates in-depth research to gain a panoramic view of the ramifications of “banning” to answer this “what if” prompt and support this theoretical notion.
人们普遍认为,新冠疫情给全球的经济带来了巨大的冲击,导致社会混乱不堪,给无数人类带来了长期的痛苦。然而,可能鲜为人知的是,在这场灾难中,由亿万富翁组成的特定群体的财富却翻了一番,加剧了社会不平等现象。事实上,新冠疫情并不是造成不平等现象不断扩大的唯一原因,它只是揭示了21世纪持续存在的过度不平等问题。经济不平等的深远影响已经超越了经济层面,延伸到了社会凝聚力等社会层面,因此,必须采取措施来解决这一问题。法国经济学家托马斯-皮凯蒂在其著作《21世纪资本论》中谴责亿万富翁是不平等鸿沟不断扩大的催化剂,受此启发,我最终确定了研究方向,并探讨了这个话题。初步看来,简单地推断亿万富翁对经济有害,并应加以限制似乎是合乎逻辑的。然而,针对亿万富翁的手段的可行性和有效性仍然值得商榷,而且可能会对经济产生负面影响。因此,需要进行深入研究,对“禁止”的后果进行全面观察和分析,以回答这个假设的问题,并支持这一理论观点。
Angela:
Wow, Jill, we sincerely appreciate your profound insights into a wide range of global issues. Your ability to recognise the underlying correlations behind these complex challenges highlights their far-reaching impact on every aspect of our society.
哇塞,听完这番话,我们很佩服你对各类全球性问题的深刻见地。你能够洞察这些复杂挑战背后的内在联系,这恰恰凸显了它们对我们社会各个方面的深远影响。
Jackie, we have also noticed that you have selected the topic "Introduction of Medical Robots Appearing from the 20th Century until Now" and considering your consistent involvement in the field of science and maths throughout your IB journey. Could you share what has been the driving force behind your academic excellence in the sciences and maths? What inspires and motivates you to continually strive for excellence in this field?
那么Jackie,我们注意到,你选择了介绍从20世纪至今出现的医疗机器人的主题,并考虑到你在整个国际文凭(IB)学习过程中始终涉足科学和数学领域。那么,能否分享一下你在IB科学和数学领域取得优异成绩的动力是什么?是什么在激励和鞭策你在这方面不断追求卓越?
Jackie:
The driving force behind that academic excellence would be my interest as well as my expectations of myself. Since I was young, I have always been interested in understanding the world around me and keen on researching further with the knowledge I have already learned. Soon, I discovered my talent in this area, as my logical thinking allows me to accept and understand a new topic easier than others. Interest inspired my learning in science, while expectation brought me motivation. After achieving more and more goals, I realized my actual level and set an expectation for myself, mainly from my self-confidence of “I know I can do it so I will do it”. This expectation has driven me to a higher level, higher than the level at which impossible if only depending on my interest in science.
我自身的兴趣以及对自己的期望是我学业上取得优异成绩的驱动力。自幼,我就对了解周围的这个世界充满了好奇心,总是热衷于去钻研我所接触到的知识。很快,我就发现了自己在这些方面的天赋,因为我的逻辑思维让我比大多数同龄人更容易接受和理解一个新的课题。对科学的兴趣激发了我学习的热情,而期望则给我带来了动力。在实现越来越多的目标后,我很清楚知道自己的实际水平,并为自己设定了一个期望值(目标),这主要源于“我知道我能行,所以我一定要做到”的自信心。这种期望促使我不断向更高的水平迈进,这是我仅凭对科学的兴趣无法达成的。
Angela:
You truly embody the remarkable outcome that emerges from the synergy between innate talents and unwavering effort. I am very glad to have such a role model for our students. Now, we will have our interviewer Starry to continue with some more interview questions.
你实在是展示了天生才华与坚定不懈的努力完美结合的结果,我为爱莎科学城的学生有你这样的同校榜样感到无比高兴。现在,就由我的搭档——Starry继续提问更多采访问题吧!
Starry:
As DP2 students, you face significant academic stress and pressure. We are curious to know how you navigate this demanding environment and effectively manage your time to strike a balance between your academic responsibilities and personal pursuits beyond the curriculum.
作为DP2(毕业班)的学生,你们面临着繁重的学业压力。我们非常想知道,你们是如何应对这种严峻的挑战,并且在学术成绩与课程之外的个人追求之间找到平衡的?
Jill:
I don’t have special ways that help me navigate the demanding environment as I know that efforts are needed for high goals. However, I do think that interest is the key that push me beyond the curriculum. I am interested in economics and want to pursue it as my major in university, so I am continually seeking opportunities to expand my knowledge in this realm. I will not intentionally strive for balance as the interconnectedness of knowledge from within and beyond the curriculum can aid in deepening my understanding of the subject.
我并没有特别的方法来应对这种压力,因为我明白,要实现更高的目标,就必须付出努力。然而,我认为兴趣是推动我探索更多课程外内容的关键。我对经济学非常感兴趣,并希望在大学里主修经济学,因此我一直在寻找机会来扩展自己在这一领域的知识。我不会刻意去追求平衡,因为我认为课程内外知识的相互联系有助于我深入理解学科内容。
Jackie:
One main method for me to deal with the pressure is to avoid competition with others while focusing on my own. Specifically, I set a goal for myself, and I will only focus on that goal. In this case, I can avoid getting extra pressure from “winning” others. Despite that, I still keep my interest besides academics and spend some time doing them as a reward after finishing some academic work. As long as my work is finished properly with a clear understanding of academic content, I will give my freedom to myself in deciding the usage of the rest of my time.
我应对压力的一个主要方法是避免与他人对比,而是专注于自己与自己比。具体来说,我会为自己设定一个目标,并且全身心投入这个目标。这样,我就可以避免因为想要“胜过”别人而承受额外的压力。尽管如此,我仍然会保持对学业以外事物的兴趣,并在完成学业后 花一些时间去做这些事情作为对自己的奖励。
Starry:
Thank you, Jackie. I totally agree with this. In the case that DP has a lot of assessment, time management is a very important thing, which can help us to better allocate time and have high efficiency. It also can help relieve the stress and maintain a balance lifestyle.
非常感谢你的回答,我完全同意你的观点。在IB DP众多的评估中,时间管理显得尤为重要,它可以帮助我们更好地分配时间,提高效率。同时,它还能帮助我们缓解压力,保持平衡的生活方式。
Most people think that there are some similarities between twins, such as living habits, personality, learning style, and so on. As twins who have been studying in ISA for a quite long time and have excellent academic performance, what do you think are the similarities and differences between your learning styles and habits?
大多数人认为双胞胎之间存在一些相似之处,例如生活习惯、性格和学习方式等等。作为在国际学校学习时间较长、学习成绩优异的双胞胎,你们认为自己的学习方式和习惯有哪些异同?
Jill:
Although we are twins and grew up together, we are different individuals in terms of our academic strengths. My brother is exceptionally intelligent, excelling in maths and science, whereas I possess keen interest in social sciences and excel in essay writing. I am also a bit of a perfectionist, whereas Jackie is not. Additionally, I tend to be more productive during the night while Jackie is more inclined to work during the day. In terms of our lifestyle, Jackie and I share a preference for spending time at home rather than going out.
虽然我们是双胞胎,从小一起长大,但在学习特长方面,我们是不同的个体。Jackie特别聪明,擅长数学和科学,而我对社会科学有着浓厚的兴趣,擅长写作文。此外,我往往在晚上工作效率更高,而Jackie更倾向于在白天工作。在生活方式上,我和Jackie都喜欢待在家里,胜过外出。
Jackie:
I do think there are many differences between our living style as well as our learning style. For example, Jill is hard-working while I am not as hard working. Like Jill said, I like to study during day time instead, but Jill likes the quietness in night time; we also show talent in different academic areas, I mainly focus on science and math-related, and Jill is more likely to focus on social science and other stuff.
我认为我们的生活方式和学习方式有很多不同之处。比如,Jill很勤奋,而我没有那么刻苦。正如Jill所说,我喜欢在白天学习,而吉尔喜欢晚上的宁静;我们也在不同的学习领域展现出了不同的天赋,我主要专注于数学、物理、化学和生物。
Angela:
Lastly, to wrap up our interview, what advice do you have for other students who aspire to achieve similar academic recognition?
在本次采访的最后,对于那些期待获得类似学术认可的学生们,你们有哪些建议想要分享?
Jill:
Discover your talents and interests. These are the most important factors that enable you to excel academically. Find things that truly interest you and continue to dedicate your time to them. Another crucial advice is to read more books. Books are the things that can broaden your horizon and give you insights into your chosen field. It is also a way to showcase your academic interests and the extent of your research, which can be advantageous for your university application. Additionally, cultivating creativity and staying aware of global news and pressing issues can provide abundant materials and ideas for exploration.
首先,发现并追随你的天赋和兴趣是至关重要的。这些是你能够在学业上脱颖而出的关键因素。找到真正点燃你激情的事物,并愿意投入时间去深入探索。另外,我强烈建议多读书:书籍可以帮助你拓宽视野,加深对所选领域的理解。同时,它也是展示你的学术兴趣和研究水平的一种方式,对于申请大学非常有帮助。此外,培养创造力,关注全球新闻和紧迫问题,也能为你的学术道路提供丰富的素材和观点。
Jackie:
My advice towards them would be to clearly understand the position they are staying in. Specifically, we are always wanting to achieve a higher goal that exceeds our ability. However, improvement is a process, instead of a result. In this case, realizing our ability as well as consistently improving would be more appropriate in my perspective. Don’t be afraid if you feel left behind by others, and just focus on yourself since academic is not complex interpersonal relationships. Don’t be shy to ask for others' help and gather every resource to reach higher.
我建议他们要清晰地认知自己的定位。具体来说,我们总是期望实现超出自身能力的更高目标。然而,进步是一个过程,而不是一个结果。在这种情况下,认识到自己的能力并持续进步更为实际。如果你感到被他人超越,不要恐慌,只需关注自己,因为学术并不涉及复杂的人际关系。不要羞于寻求他人的帮助,收集一切资源去实现更高的目标吧。
Angela:
Thank you for these valuable advice for our students! This is the end of our interview, thank you for being with us today.
非常感谢Jill和Jackie今天与我们分享这些宝贵的建议!希望这些建议能为我们的学生们带来新的启示和动力。本次采访到此结束,再次感谢感谢你们抽出时间接受我们的采访。
