【活動】探索我們的城鎮：外語導覽社群活動開始啦 Exploring Our Town: Let's Join Foreign Language Guided Tour Community Activities

I-Chen Lin (林一成), Mei-fei Lu (盧美妃) from Department of English and Eileen Lin (林虹秀) from Department of Translation and Interpreting are driving forward "Our Town", a university social responsibility project, and currently, the initiative is in full swing. A crucial component of this project is the Foreign Language Guided Tour Community, aimed at deepening tour guide skills through indoor classes and on-site exploration. The shared content covers important landmarks in Kaohsiung, such as ancient houses, Military Dependents' villages, and the vibrant Hamasen district.

The inaugural meeting took place at Wenzao, January 30, 2024 where a Wenzaorian alumnus, Ken Huang (黃榮進), shared valuable insights on how to become an outstanding tour guide. Humorously, he concluded with the phrase, "Spending every penny is the time for a traveler should go back home." Another speaker, Jay Her (何昇階), shared his experiences about Alishan, introducing celestial phenomena like the Milky Way and green flashes, creating an immersive experience for the audience.

Luis (龔書永), the project manager, renowned for his fluent English, once again showcased his rich knowledge in guiding, introducing various terms related to ancient houses. He emphasized that excellent tour guides should present information in an easily understandable way and seamlessly incorporate the living environment into their guided explanations.

The community warmly welcomes everyone to join and gain a deeper understanding of our town and our community.

英文系的林一成、盧美妃和翻譯傳譯系的林虹秀正推動大學社會責任計畫「我們的小鎮」，目前這項計畫正進行得如火如荼。該項目的一個重要組成部分是外語導遊社區，旨在通過室內課程和現場探索加深導遊技能。分享的內容涵蓋高雄市的重要地標，例如古民居、眷村以及活力四射的哈瑪星園區。

成立大會於 2024 年 1 月 30 日在文藻舉行，文藻校友黃榮進分享了如何成為優秀導遊的寶貴心得。他幽默地以 「花光每一分錢，就是旅行者該回家的時候 」作結。另一位講者何昇階則分享了他對阿里山的體驗，介紹了銀河、綠閃等天象，讓聽眾有身歷其境的感覺。

專案經理 Luis (龔書永) 以一口流利的英文聞名，他再次展現豐富的導覽知識，介紹各種與古民居相關的詞彙。他強調，優秀的嚮導應該以通俗易懂的方式呈現資訊，並將生活環境天衣無縫地融入嚮導的解說中。

社區熱烈歡迎大家的參與，讓大家更深入了解我們的小鎮、我們的社區。
