去新西蘭留學要做的10件事
原文：A small island nation home to around 4.5 million people located in the Pacific Ocean, New Zealand is famous for its national rugby team, its indigenous Maori culture and its picturesque landscape. If you’re an international student considering studying abroad, New Zealand may be a long way from home. But the many hours – and possibly days – spent travelling to get there will be well worth it!
譯文：新西蘭是一個僅僅擁有45萬人口的的太平洋小島國，這個國家的橄欖球隊、土著毛利人文化及如畫的美麗風景名聞遐邇，享譽世界。如果你是一個考慮來這個國家學習的留學生，新西蘭離家確實會比較遠，但如果你想旅游，閑暇時光選擇來這里各處去走走也不錯。下面就為大家列舉一下來新西蘭你不能錯過的事情。
原文：Visit Auckland – City of Sails
Location: Auckland
Top universities in Auckland: University of Auckland (92nd in the QS World University Rankings 2014/15); Auckland University of Technology (AUT, 501-550); Massey University (346th)
譯文：去奧克蘭—帆船之都
地點：奧克蘭
奧克蘭名校：奧克蘭大學(2014/2015QS世界大學排名92)、奧克蘭理工大學、梅西大學
原文：It may not be New Zealand’s capital, but it’s the country’s largest and most internationally diverse city. Built on a volcanic landscape and surrounded by the Manukau and Waitemata Harbours (hence the City of Sails nickname), Auckland is not only a boating enthusiast’s dream, it’s also a great city for students. Indeed, it ranks 22nd in the QS Best Student Cities 2015, thanks to its high quality of living, high ratings from graduate employers and more.
譯文：奧克蘭不是新西蘭的首都，但是它是這個國家最大、國際化程度最高的城市。它建立在一個火山景觀上，被麥盧卡和登山港口環(huán)繞(帆船之都名稱的由來)，奧克蘭不僅僅是帆船愛好者的夢想之地，也是學生學習的一個好去處。事實上，它在2015QS世界最佳求學城市排名中在22位，當然這是因為其高質(zhì)量的生活環(huán)境與畢業(yè)生的高就業(yè)率。
原文：If you’re a culture vulture, Auckland offers a great selection of international music concerts, art galleries, retail therapy and entertainment. And for thrill seekers, why not take on the challenge of the bungee jump from Auckland Sky Tower, the tallest free-standing structure in the Southern Hemisphere?
Perhaps the main attraction of Auckland is that tourists and students alike can enjoy the best of both urban and natural life: a bustling metropolitan city within walking, biking and driving distance of beautiful beaches, mountain biking tracks, coastal walks and native bush. The perfect place to kick off your itinerary of things to do in New Zealand!
譯文：如果你是一個文化狂熱分子，奧克蘭擁有超棒的國際性音樂會、藝術畫廊和購物娛樂場所。另外，如果你是冒險愛好者，去奧克蘭天空塔來一場蹦極跳挑戰(zhàn)也是一個不錯的選擇。奧克蘭天空塔是南半球最高的獨立建筑物。
或許奧克蘭吸引游客與留學生的原因還是因為在這里你既可以享受到美好的城市生活也可以體驗到自然生活：這是一個繁華的城市，同時你也可以散步、騎自行車或者駕車去美麗的海邊轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)，又或者可以進行山地自行車騎行、海邊漫步、叢林冒險。奧克蘭市開始你在新西蘭想要的旅行的好地方。
原文：Watch a game of rugby – New Zealand’s national sport
Location: All over New Zealand
Kiwis (as New Zealanders are known) are passionate about rugby. If there’s one thing everyone knows about New Zealand, it’s the All Blacks – the country’s national rugby team. There’s also an intense, but friendly, rivalry between different rugby regions throughout the country. And with a rugby stadium in every major university town, there’s no excuse not to watch the game first-hand.
If you want to catch a piece of the atmosphere, dress up in the local team’s colors and head down to catch a game of New Zealand’s national sport with your fellow students (you might need to bring some locals along if you’re not sure about the rules or spectating etiquette!).
The All Blacks are famed for performing a traditional Maori war dance called the Haka at the start of every international match.
譯文：看一場橄欖球比賽—新西蘭的國家運動項目
地點：整個新西蘭
新西蘭人對橄欖球有著狂熱的激情。如果要說在新西蘭有什么是全國人名都知道的，那就是全黑隊了—新西蘭的國家橄欖球隊。在新西蘭，整個國家不同的橄欖球隊也有著激烈但友好地競爭。在主要大學的橄欖場不去看一場比賽是說不過去的。
如果你想融入那種氛圍，穿上當?shù)厍蜿狀伾囊路�，與你的同學一起去看一場新西蘭國家運動的比賽吧(你可能需要帶上幾個當?shù)厝�，畢竟你可能對�?guī)則與觀看的禮儀不大了解)。你知道嗎?全黑隊在每一場國際比賽上場之前都會表演一支傳統(tǒng)的叫Haka的毛利舞。
原文： Hit the slopes, the beach or the lakes – all in one day
Location: Hamilton
Top universities in Hamilton: University of Waikato (401-410)
Nearly all of New Zealand’s major cities are on the coast – and those that aren’t are less than an hour’s drive inland. But there’s one city in particular where you can experience all the different elements of New Zealand’s great outdoors within the space of a single day.
If you choose to study in New Zealand in the city of Hamilton, located on the North Island just over an hour’s drive from Auckland, your weekend activity schedule is sure to be action-packed. Top spots to check out include Raglan, New Zealand’s number one surfing spot, which boasts one of the world’s best left-hand breaks; Mount Maunganui, a popular east coast beach home to many sporting and music events; Taupo, a great place to bungee jump, jet boat and sky dive; and the Whakapapa and Turoa skifields, for skiing!
譯文：一天之內(nèi)看山、看海、看湖
地點：哈密爾頓
附近名校：懷卡托大學
幾乎所有的新西蘭重要城市都在海岸邊，而從這些地方駕車到內(nèi)陸不超過一個小時。但是有一個特別的城市，在這里你可以在一天之內(nèi)體驗到新西蘭戶外的不同元素。
從奧克蘭駕車一個小時左右可以到達哈密爾頓，一個北部的小島，如果你選擇在新西蘭的哈密爾頓學習，那么你周末的活動安排一定是豐富有趣的。首要目的地就是拉格倫—新西蘭最富盛名的沖浪地;之后是芒格努伊山—一個非常受歡迎的運動及音樂活動舉辦地;然后是陶波—蹦極、劃艇和跳傘的好地方;最后去華卡帕帕和圖羅瓦滑雪場滑雪。
原文：Wine and dine your way around New Zealand
Location: All over New Zealand (for food), Marlborough (for wine)
There are famously more sheep than people in New Zealand, and agriculture is the country’s main export industry. Expect to see large numbers of grazing cows and sheep, as well as numerous dairy farms while you study in New Zealand, and don’t be surprised by the amount of meat and ice cream you may consume during that time!
You can then wash all this rich food down with a glass of some of New Zealand’s finest wine. The country is fast making a name for itself in the viticulture industry, in particular in the form of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Take a weekend break from the studying – or perhaps save this as a reward for getting through your exams – and head to Marlborough for a wine tour.
譯文：在新西蘭吃吃喝喝
地點：全新西蘭(吃的)，馬爾堡(紅酒)
新西蘭的羊似乎比人更有名，而農(nóng)業(yè)也是這個國家主要的出口產(chǎn)業(yè)。在這里學習期間，可以看到許多的放牧牛羊，以及奶牛場，所以在那期間看到消費那么多的肉和冰淇淋你不要感到驚訝。
配那么多美味可口的食物你可以來一杯新西蘭紅酒。這個國家的葡萄栽培業(yè)取名發(fā)展迅速，特別是新西蘭長相思的形成。選個周末放松放松—或者作為自己通過考試的一個獎勵，去馬爾堡來一場紅酒旅行。
原文：Explore Middle Earth
Location: All over New Zealand (and Wellington for the production HQ)
The Lord of the Rings series is one of New Zealand’s best-known Hollywood legacies. The inspiring backdrop of Peter Jackson’s trilogy, as well as prequel The Hobbit, New Zealand offers a great chance to experience Middle Earth – though you may need to use your imagine to fill in the talking trees and orcs.
Visit Hobbiton in the North Island town of Matamata, tiptoe through Mordor along the Tongariro Crossing, or seek out the fortress of Isengard near Queenstown. Over 150 locations were used within the films, and tourists continue to flock to major landmarks on organized tours and solo adventures. If you’re more concerned with the actual making of the films, head to capital city Wellington, where much of the production took place and where the cast and crew spent most of their time. And while we’re on the subject…
譯文：探索中土世界
地點：整個新西蘭
電影指環(huán)王系列是新西蘭最有名的好萊塢遺產(chǎn)。以Peter Jackson的三部曲以及前傳霍比特人為背景，新西蘭給人們提供了一個體驗中土世界的機會—不過你或許需要自己靠自己的想象完成與樹和魔獸講話的場景。
參觀位于北部島嶼的小鎮(zhèn)瑪塔瑪塔的霍比屯，沿著湯加里羅步道悄悄穿過魔多，或者去皇后鎮(zhèn)尋找艾辛格堡壘，這里有超過150處景點出現(xiàn)在魔戒電影里面，游客可以結(jié)隊繼續(xù)參觀主要的景點，也可以來一場單獨冒險。如果你對電影里制造的真實事物更感興趣，去新西蘭首都惠靈頓，這里是電影的生產(chǎn)地，演員和工作人員待得最久的地方。
原文： Visit Wellington, New Zealand’s capital
Location: Wellington
Top universities in Wellington: Victoria University of Wellington (275th in the world rankings); Massey University (346th)
New Zealanders are known for their innovative spirit, so it should come as no surprise that even their government does things a little bit differently. Part of the nation’s parliamentary operations happen within an architecturally unique building, fondly named The Beehive. But that’s not the only building of interest in the capital.
譯文：參觀新西蘭的首都—惠靈頓
地點：惠靈頓
附近名校：惠靈頓維多利亞大學、梅西大學
新西蘭人以他們的創(chuàng)新精神聞名，所以，如果就算是他們的政府做了什么不大一樣的事你也不要感到驚訝。這個國家的議會運作是在一棟造型奇特的大樓里完成的，被親切地稱作蜂巢。但在首都，這可不是唯一的一座令人感興趣的建筑
原文：No visit to Wellington is complete without a visit to Te Papa. Situated on the city’s picturesque waterfront, New Zealand’s national museum hosts a range of both permanent and travelling exhibitions. Admire beautiful Maori cloaks, step into a traditional marae(meeting place), get up close to a colossal squid, or experience what an earthquake would feel like. Te Papa is in downtown Wellington, so once you’ve finished exploring the exhibitions take a walk up Cuba Street, where an eclectic array of shops and cafés awaits.
Did you know…? Wellington and its harbor are situated on an active geological fault line, known as the Pacific Ring of Fire. This means earthquakes are a regular occurrence in the city – but fortunately, they’re so far underground that residents often don’t even feel a rumble.
譯文：去惠靈頓沒有參觀新西蘭國家博物館，你的旅行就不算完整。坐落在風景如畫的海濱城市，新西蘭國家博物館會舉辦一系列的巡回展。這里可以欣賞美麗的毛利人斗篷、走進傳統(tǒng)的毛利會堂，靠近感受大王烏賊，甚至可以體驗一下地震是什么感覺。新西蘭國家博物館位于惠靈頓市中心，所以看完博物館展之后，你可以逛一逛古巴街，這里有許多別具一格的商店與咖啡館。
惠靈頓及其港口坐落在一個活躍的地質(zhì)斷層線上，叫太平洋火環(huán)，這也就意味著這個城市經(jīng)常會發(fā)生地震—不過，幸運的是，這些地震都發(fā)生在地底深處，離地面比較遠，所以人們幾乎感覺不到震動。
原文： Go bush... on one of New Zealand’s great walks
Location: The South Island and the Tongariro Crossing (spanning the length of Mt Tongariro in the North Island)
Camping and ‘tramping’ – or ‘hiking’ for those in the Northern Hemisphere – are popular pastimes for those visiting and living in New Zealand. Find a remote patch of bush, set up a canvas tent, or walk for days on end with a pack on your back, and see how long you can last without a shower or other home comforts…
Yes, this is many a New Zealander’s idea of a holiday! Don’t knock it until you try it; there’s something pretty special and liberating about ditching the technology and simply being close to nature for a while. Most, if not all, of New Zealand’s universities will have tramping clubs, so if you’re studying abroad in this country renowned for its clean, green image and beautiful scenery, don’t miss out on this experience.
Popular routes include the Milford Track, the Heaphy Track, the Routeburn Track and the Queen Charlotte Track.
譯文：林中遠足
地點：南島和湯加里羅
露營、步行—或者在北半球遠足—這些都是去新西蘭的游客和西新蘭當?shù)厝俗顭嶂缘南卜绞搅�。在林中找一條偏遠小徑，搭一個帆布帳篷，或背上背包行走幾日，看看不能洗澡，沒有舒適的生活你能堅持多久。
是的，這是許多新西蘭人的度假方案。沒有試過就不要輕易否決，從高科技中解放出來，簡簡單單靠近一下大自然，是一種特殊而又不錯的選擇。如果，不能全部體驗，新西蘭大學里會有步行俱樂部，如果你在這里留學，而且又喜歡清新、綠色的美麗景色，不要錯過這種體驗。
受歡迎的路線有米佛步道、希菲步道、路特本步道、夏洛特皇后步道。
原文：Take in a performance at The Court Theatre, Christchurch
Location: Christchurch
Top universities in Christchurch: University of Canterbury (242nd); Lincoln University (411-420)
Situated in the beautiful old stone buildings that once housed the University of Canterbury – or Canterbury College as it was then known – is New Zealand’s foremost (and Christchurch’s only) theatre company, The Court Theatre. Founded in 1971, it has become the most successful arts organization in New Zealand – so will be top of your list of things to do in New Zealand if you’re an arts student or simply have a passion for the creative side of life.
譯文：在基督城宮廷劇院看一場表演
地點：基督城附近名校：坎特伯雷大學、林肯大學
美麗的石頭建筑物曾經(jīng)是坎特伯雷大學的校區(qū)，而現(xiàn)在這座石頭城堡是基督城最重要的也是唯一的一個劇院，宮廷劇院。它建于1971年，這是新西蘭最成功的藝術地—所以，如果你是一名藝術類學生或者你對發(fā)現(xiàn)生活中有創(chuàng)意的一面很有熱情的話，來這個劇院就是你首要要做的事情了。
原文：New Zealand’s second largest city is also home to the International Antarctic Centre, the Willowbank Wildlife Reserve, one of New Zealand’s most successful provincial rugby teams (the Canterbury Crusaders), and even an eccentric public figure known as the Wizard of Canterbury. Christchurch is also a great spot from which to explore Kaikoura, a popular place for whale watching. Other local attractions include Hanmer Springs, a thermal pool and spa resort; Mt Cook, New Zealand’s highest peak; and Akaroa – a little bit of France in the Southern Hemisphere!
In 1848, a member of the Canterbury Association suggested the town be named Christ Church after the famous college at Oxford University. It was mistakenly written down as one word in the minutes of the meeting, and Christchurch has stuck ever since. Other English influences are found in the naming of the River Avon which runs through the city, Brighton beach, and street names including Hereford, Worcester, Manchester and Oxford.
譯文：新西蘭的第二大城市惠靈頓同時也是南極國際中心、柳岸野生動物保護區(qū)、新西蘭最成功的省級橄欖球隊the Canterbury Crusaders的所在地。基督城同時也是一個探索凱庫拉和看鯨的好地方。當?shù)仄渌木包c還有漢默溫泉—熱池水療圣地，愛爾蘭最高峰庫克山，阿卡羅阿。
1848年，坎特伯雷協(xié)會的一個成員建議將城鎮(zhèn)命名為Christ Church緊隨牛津大學之后。而在一次會議上被誤寫成了一個單詞，之后基督城的名字由此而來。其他英國的影響還表現(xiàn)在埃文河的名字上，同時布萊頓海灘，街道的名字如赫里福德,伍斯特郡、曼徹斯特和牛津都是如此。
原文： Get high on adrenaline
Location: Rotorua and Taupo in the North Island and Queenstown in the South Island.
If you’re an adventure lover, you’ll be pleased to hear there’s certainly no shortage of things to do in New Zealand to get your adrenalin levels up. These include sports such as jet boating, white water rafting, sky diving and bungee jumping – all great ways to celebrate the end of exams!
Bungee jumping was invented in New Zealand by entrepreneur A. J. Hackett. So what better place to throw yourself off a bridge with some stretchy rope tied around your ankles than in the location where it all began?
譯文：來點腎上腺飆升項目
地點：北島的羅托魯瓦和陶波、南島的皇后鎮(zhèn)
如果你是冒險愛好者，新西蘭絕對不缺少讓你腎上腺飆升的活動，比如說快艇、激流泛舟、高空跳傘、蹦極，這些方式都是極好的考試后放松項目。
蹦極是由新西蘭企業(yè)家A. J. Hackett所發(fā)明，所以將繩子綁上腳踝，從高空跳下去，沒有什么比這項運動發(fā)源地更好地地盤了。
原文： Visit Dunedin – New Zealand’s student city
Location: Dunedin
Top universities in Dunedin: University of Otago (159th in the world rankings)
譯文：參觀達尼丁—新西蘭的學生之城
地點：達尼丁
附近名校：奧塔哥大學
原文：Dunedin is the home of New Zealand’s first-established university – the University of Otago – which is also the second-highest ranked of all universities in New Zealand in the QS World University Rankings。
Due to the city’s long academic history, Dunedin has been cemented as the country’s number one student city, despite its small size. And the city certainly lives up to student-y credentials. Scarfies – the local nickname given to the city’s students – are well known for their student pranks and for their ability to party. Silliness and nightlife aside, Dunedin also has an excellent reputation for the quality of its higher education, with the University of Otago highly reputed for its research excellence.
Other attractions in and around the city of Dunedin include Lanarch Castle; Otago Peninsula, home to seals and albatrosses; and Baldwin Street, the steepest street in the world. The city is also less than two hour’s drive from Queenstown, another popular tourist destination.
譯文：達尼丁是新西蘭第一個大學奧塔哥大學的家，而奧塔哥大學也是新西蘭排名第二的大學。
因為這座城市有著很長的學術歷史，達尼丁也被評為這個國家的學生支撐之一，即便這是一個小城市。同時這座城市也不辜負學生的期待，Scarfies 是人們給這座城市的學生的昵稱，而這些學生也以其惡作劇和派對能力而聞名。拋開這種所謂的不正經(jīng)的夜生活，達尼丁在高等教育質(zhì)量上也有著極好的聲譽，奧塔哥大學的學術實力非常強。
達尼丁附近其他的旅游點還有Lanarch Castle、奧塔哥半島，海豹與信天鴿之鄉(xiāng)、鮑德溫街，世界上最陡的街。從達尼丁駕車到皇后鎮(zhèn)不到兩個小時，而后者也是旅游圣地。
