一場有趣且豐富的英語導覽應包含哪些內容?讓文藻外語大學舉辦的第五場「Our Town 社區永續跨域共創平台計畫」外語導覽社群活動告訴你。

What makes for an interesting and enriching English tour? This is the exact question addressed during the fifth foreign language guided tour community program of the "Our Town Community Sustainable Cross-Domain Co-creation Platform Project."

外語導覽社群課程精神即讓導覽志工能將其腦中豐富的中文知識,有效地篩選並運用英語呈現出來。在第五次課程聚會中,主講講師,同時也是專業導覽的Luis帶領導覽志工抽絲剝繭,有步驟、有方法地拆解一場英語導覽該有的元素。

The foreign tour guiding classes aim to encourage participating volunteers to effectively filter through the abundance of their Chinese-related knowledge in their own minds before conveying the information in English. During the fifth class, Luis Gong, a professional tour guide who acts main instructor of the classes, took the volunteers through a step-by-step background of all the elements required in an English tour guide.

課程中,導覽志工以英文解說壽山國家自然公園的特色與美麗之處,並將景點相關訊息用英語連結起來,成功以英語進行展廳導覽。Luis老師再三強調,導覽是門藝術,導覽內容設計需根據遊客需求、興趣調整,充滿人性。

During the class, the volunteers practiced by introducing the features and beauty of Shoushan National Natural Park and connecting different points of related information together in English, thereby successfully conducting an English tour. Throughout the class, Luis repeatedly emphasized the nature of tour guiding as a form of art. And as an art full of humanity, a tour needs to be planned according to the needs and interests of the tourists. 

本次外語導覽社群課程由Luis老師、文藻翻譯系林虹秀老師與文藻英文系盧美妃老師共同與導覽志工演練英語導覽細節,社群結束後,導覽志工不僅能自信地以英文解說、推廣有高雄壽山國家自然公園,對於如何進行一場有趣且豐富的英語導覽也更加游刃有餘。

The foreign language tour guiding classes are jointly led by Luis Gong as well as Professor Eileen Lin of Wenzao's Translation and Interpreting Department and Professor Mei-Fei Lu of Wenzao's English Department, who have been assisting the volunteers in fine-tuning the content of their English tour. At the end of the classes, the volunteer guides will be able to confidently explain and promote Shoushan National Natural Park in English and will have become more adept at conducting an interesting and enriching English guided tour.

本次社群成功讓志工的知識寶藏,透過英文表達,未來必能讓國際遊客窺見高雄綠色寶石之美。

Following this week's class, the volunteers are able to successfully share their treasury of knowledge using English. In the future, their training will surely contribute to allowing international tourists to learn more about Shoushan National Natural Park, the emerald of Kaohsiung.
