今天是我和Simon Young（杨瑾鸿）认识的第七天。
七天里，我们见了一次面，聊了两个钟头，笑了很多次，做出了这期专栏。在这期专栏之前，我们不知道彼此的年龄，职业，以及更多，却因为对两国文化的热爱，用一杯咖啡的时间敲定了革命友谊。这就是我喜欢新西兰最主要的原因，生活很慢，交友却很快，你可以与大街上任意一个人聊天，完全不必担忧太多。新西兰的纯净，不只体现在海滩和丛林，也体现在人与人之间的交往上，只要心怀真诚，生命总会让正确的人相遇。今天是瑾鸿专栏第一期，邀请瑾鸿来做分享，不仅仅是因为他对中国文化和语言的热爱，更因为他是一个有趣，真诚，乐善好施的好朋友，他会使这个公众号变成一个更好的成长园地。作为一个中文很棒的歪果仁，以后的每周五，瑾鸿都会在这里用双语为大家分享故事，大家可以通过这种方式学习英文，了解文化，并且透过一个歪果仁的视角，去看到更多有关新西兰的故事！这一期【歪果仁专栏】，熹文以十个问题的专访形式，来让大家了解新朋友杨瑾鸿。
熹文：欢迎瑾鸿为大家做个简单的自我介绍！
瑾鸿：我是syENGAGE公司的总裁，我们公司帮助外国的公司做中国市场传媒。我和我的太太跟我们的猫咪住在新西兰的奥克兰～ 我喜欢聊天，走路，吃饭 ，看电视，听歌，学习新东西。我不喜欢傲慢，残酷，仇恨和偏见。I am CEO of syENGAGE, our company helps foreign companies do Chinese marketing.

熹文：之前在这个公众号中，我都是在以一个中国人的角度为大家介绍新西兰，观点比较局限，所以非常开心你的加入。请问你觉得新西兰最吸引人的地方在哪里？你会推荐华人朋友去新西兰的哪个城市？
瑾鸿：新西兰美极了！之前我并不以为然，直到我从国外回来，我发现它美的不要不要的！当我用全新的视角审视新西兰，我发现，它是世界上最漂亮的地方！新西兰有很多漂亮的地方。如果你只有很短暂的时间来游览新西兰，那么我建议你去林子里，沙滩，公园以及市中心。
如果你有很多时间，去去南岛看看壮美的火山和高地吧。即便是我，也没有踏遍新西兰全岛的每一个角落呢。All of New Zealand is beautiful. I didn't know, but after returning home from overseas, I saw with new eyes, New Zealand is the most beautiful place in the world!Having said that, Auckland has many beautiful places, if you're only in New Zealand for a short time.Within a short time you can see forests, beaches, parks and the city. If you have more time, see the South Island, and the volcanic plateau. Even I haven't seen every corner of this beautiful land. 熹文：居住在奥克兰，生活中会有很多机会接触到中国人吧？你觉得中国人和新西兰人最大的不同是什么？瑾鸿：中国人来自中国，新西兰人来自新西兰。。。哈哈。真冷。 Chinese people are from China, New Zealanders are from New Zealand. ;) 中国人很努力工作，也积极向上，还有博大精深的文化。我真的很佩服我的中国朋友们。New Zealanders are very relaxed, goodhearted, naive, free, optimistic.Chinese people are very hardworking, very optimistic, and have a profound and deep culture. I really admire my Chinese friends! 熹文：知道你去过中国，去过哪些城市呢？有什么印象深刻的事情吗？我去过：北京 天津 南京 苏州 杭州 上海 长沙 常德 广州 深圳 香港I've been to: Beijing, Tianjin, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Changsha, Changde Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong!我很爱中国！上海是我最爱的城市。 因为我在中国大多时候是在上海——是“我的上海”。 我去年在卢湾区，静安区，长宁区呆了五个月。I love China! Shanghai is my favourite city, because when I'm in China, I spend most of my time in Shanghai, it's "my Shanghai". Last year I lived there for five months, in Luwan, Jingan and Changning Districts.我很想念中国，因为新西兰的生活很宁静，而中国充满激情，那里有人很多，很多即将发生和正在发生的事情。I really miss China, because New Zealand life is so quiet, and in China it's so exciting, many people, many things happening. 中国也有很多我的朋友们，我从2010年开始在新浪微博、微信和QQ上认识了他们，所以我无论去中国任何城市，都能找到我的朋友们。I also have many friends in China; since 2010 I have made friends all around China on Weibo, QQ and WeChat. If I go to any city, I'll find a friend there.
熹文：我要替吃货提问，你最喜欢的新西兰食物和中国食物？沃格尔的烤面包+安家黄油+ Watties烤豆+煎鸡蛋+香煎西红柿配欧芹，别放蘑菇谢谢。Vogel's toast + Anchor butter + Watties Baked beans + fried eggs + fried tomato + parsley. No mushrooms for me thanks. 我最爱的中国美食。。天哪，很难说。。。太多了，我是个吃货啊。 我很喜欢宫保鸡丁，我觉的这个得老外都喜欢。我也喜欢上海的红烧肉。西北羊肉也非常非常好吃。 但是最最最最爱广州的早茶，羊肉yum cha， 好吃到炸！My favourite Chinese food? OMG. So hard to choose. I love so many Chinese dishes! I really like Gong Bao Ji Ding (which a lot of foreigners love), I also like Shanghai cuisine, hong xiao rou. XiBei lamb is also delicious. But my most favourite was the lamb yum cha I ate in Guangzhou. Are you hungry now? Me too!熹文：作为一个自学中文的歪果仁（希望你不要介意，哈哈），有哪些学习语言的经验可以分享给我们呢？上次见到你，听你说“白富美”，“土壕”，“网红”这些词，分分钟吓死我，这是语言天赋，还是后天的努力？瑾鸿：哈哈哈。我有老师，我也上中文课，但是我依然在每天玩微信。在微信群里，我知道了“网红”、“歪果仁”这些流行词。我很喜欢学习地道的网络用语。我最开心的就是，群里有人质疑我是中国人，不相信我是老外！Hahaha! I have a teacher, I have Chinese classes, but my learning is every day on WeChat. In WeChat groups I learn internet language like "wang hong", "wai guo ren - crooked nuts", etc. I really like to learn internet trends, I love it when someone in a group doesn't believe I am not Chinese. 我的工作也需要了解中国文化 ，传统文化到不用，但是流行文化以及当前中国的形式都要知道。（新西兰的）营销人员需要了解（中国）市场，我帮助他们了解中国文化。My work also requires me to know Chinese culture - － not just the ancient culture, but the modern, everyday culture. Marketers need to understand their market, and I help them to understand modern Chinese culture. 熹文：你是我所认识的第一个做公众号的新西兰人，而且做得非常成功，你觉得在成为新西兰网红这条路上，自己最大的快乐与收获是什么？会有压力吗？瑾鸿：我要建立我的品牌形象。我想做我最爱的工作，每天跟朋友聊天，一起学习。所以我运营我的公众号，并且会在未来开发我的产品。I want to build my brand. I want to do the work that I love, chat with friends, and learn together every day. So, I build up my public WeChat account, and then afterwards, I will develop my products. 我有很多困难，因为我中文还不太好，但是我很会努力。我的中国朋友们让我感觉很温暖。总是一路鼓励我，谢谢亲们！There are many difficulties, because my Chinese is still not good, but I try every day. 我的中国朋友们让我感觉很好。Words of encouragement go a long way. Thanks guys. 熹文：我很喜欢新西兰的“慢生活”哲学，大家在选择职业以及伴侣的时候，最在意的是“快乐就好”，对于你来说，人生中最重要的事情是什么？
优势：我们不关心别人怎么想。我们珍惜和家人在一起的时间，很好的平衡工作和生活。
劣势：我们发现我们没法参与全球竞争，新西兰人着利眼前，不思考改变世界。
此外，新西兰是世界上自杀率最高的一个国家。这是相当麻烦的......也许有很多人在这里很寂寞。New Zealand's "go slow" lifestyle is its greatest strength and weakness. 好：We don't care what others think. We value family time. We have work/life balance. 坏：We find it hard to compete globally. We think small when we should think big. Also, 新西兰有世界的最大 suicide rate. That is pretty troubling… maybe there are a lot of lonely people here. Also, New Zealand has one of the world's highest suicide rates. That is pretty troubling… maybe there are a lot of lonely people here.
熹文：我们中国年轻人很喜欢做bucket list，比如我为自己定下“三十岁之前要做的事”，有学好日语去日本自助游，出一本小说集等等，你对未来有什么计划吗？我已超过30岁，我当然有bucket list. I want to：全世界的旅行！最想去的是：成都、重庆、云南、泰国！I'm over 30 years old, but I certainly have a bucket list. I want to: Build a global business by doing what I loveHelp many people find more happiness in their livesTravel! Everywhere! But in the near future: Chengdu, Chongqing, Yunnan, Thailand! Make lots of money so I can make more difference in the world熹文：这个公众号大部分都是二三十岁的朋友，你最想对这些年轻的朋友说些什么？瑾鸿：你拥有自由，或许你并不自知，但是事实如此。用你最自由的时间和精力去学习吧。
学习并不是考专业合格证，而是它让你用所学，温暖这个世界。用更多的时间思考这个巨大的世界，看看新闻，面对困难。通过准确定位问题，你会成为一名企业家或者一名优秀的员工。无论用哪种方式，你都会被关照，因为你已经关照过别人。You have freedom. You may not believe you have freedom, but you have it. Use your freedom well, to learn. Don't just learn to get another qualification. Learn because it feels good and makes you more helpful to the world.Try to take time to think about the big world. Look at the news and learn about the problems you want to solve.Understanding problems well positions you to be an entrepreneur, or a great employee. Either way, you will be cared for because you have cared for others.
