4、把根留住

　　Contact people you care about before and after. You are a person with feelings and relocating overseas is a big event. Talk to your close friends and family about your thoughts, dreams and fears for your new venture before you leave and make sure you keep in regular contact after you arrive and during your time away. Sharing the experience always halves any burdens and doubles the excitement of any achievements. Besides, with the ease and convenience of communicating via the Internet nowadays, there is no excuse not to keep in touch!

　　不时地与你所关心的人联系。你是一个有感情的人，而出国留学是一件大事情。在离开前向你的家人朋亚闼吣愕南敕ā⒚蜗牒涂志濉２⑶胰繁Ｔ谀愕酱锖笠约捌浜蟮氖奔涠家?胨?潜３志?５牧?怠Ｓ胨?朔窒砟愕木?榛崛媚愕耐纯嗉醢耄?鼓愕目炖直对觥：慰觯?衷谕ü?チ??梢院芊奖闳菀椎赜肴斯低ǎ?颐敲挥欣碛刹缓退?吮３至?怠?

　　It is important to realize that while new and exciting things may be happening to you in your new environment, things and people back at home will also be changing. It is possible to feel isolated and experience "reverse culture shock" when you return home for a visit after an extended period of time away. The extent of this can be determined by such things as how involved you become in your new culture and how involved you stay in your original culture. Remember your roots, they are an important part of who you are.

　　有一件很重要的事情我们必须要意识到，那就是：当你在新环境里经历着新鲜刺激的事情时，故乡里的人和物也会发生变化。你很有可能感到被遗忘，并且当你经过一段时间后回国时可能会体验到“反文化冲击”。这种“反文化冲击”的程度取决于你融入他国文化的状况以及你对本国文化的保留程度。记住自己的根，它们是你自我归属感的一个重要组成部分。
