英语翻译
“Before I came here” one child said,” I thought swimming was running through an open fire hydrant.
“Here” is a summer camp that’s only an hour from New York City-but a world away.This camp and four others nearby are run by the Fresh Air Fund.Since 1877,the fund has helped poor children from New York City spend summers in the country.Each year,over ten thousand children,ages 6 to 18,participate in the program.Some stay at a camp; others live with a host family.The fund pays for all expenses.
The camps are for 8-to- 15-year-olds.At camp,children can learn about the stars,see deer and cows and other animals,and go hiking,fishing,and of course,swimming.The children learn responsibility by helping out with chores like making beds and waiting on tables.They also learn a lot from counselors,who are often college students from around the United States and from other countries.
Host families from thirteen states and Canada volunteer to have children spend the summer with them.Many of there families have their own children.The visiting children become part of family they go with the family on picnics,to the pool or beach,and on trips.The children are from 6 to 12 years old when they make their first visit,and most are invited back.Some of the children and families become friends for life.

“在来这里之前”,一个孩子说,“我以为游泳就是跑过一个打开的消防龙头”.“这里”,指的是一个夏季宿营,它离纽约市仅1小时路程,但却完全是另一番天地.这个营地和附近的另外4个都是由“新鲜空气基金组织”掌管的.从1877年开始,该基金会就帮助来自纽约市的穷人孩子们在郊外度过暑假.每年有超过10,000个6到18岁的孩子参与到这个计划中来.他们中的一些会留在露营地,另外的就和接待家庭住在一起,基金会支付所有费用.
宿营针对的是为8到15岁的孩子们.在营地,孩子们可以学习关于星系的知识,可以看小鹿、母牛及其他动物,可以去远足、钓鱼,当然,还可以游泳.通过日常生活中的互相帮忙,如整理床铺,用餐准备等,孩子们可以学到有责任感；他们还可以从顾问们那里学习到很多,这些顾问常常是来自美国各地的或其他国家的大学生.
来自13个州的接待家庭和加拿大的志愿者将会让孩子们和他们一起度过暑假.很多家庭有他们自己的孩子.来访的孩子会成为家庭的一员,和家人一起去野餐,去游泳池或海滩,去旅游.第一次进入接待家庭的是6到12岁的孩子,他们大多会再次被邀请.一些孩子和家庭成员成为了终生的朋友.
