阳光雨露吹来了春天的气息。在这美好春日，世界从寒冬中苏醒，展现焕然生机。为丰富我校留学生文化生活，激发留学生对自然、对生活的热爱，记录身边的爱与感动，用镜头定格身边的美丽，国际学院策划组织了“镜头中的世界”摄影比赛，比赛分为“拥抱自然”和“合肥印象”两个主题，吸引了境内外留学生摄影爱好者的踊跃参与。
“拥抱自然”主题：Embrace Nature
这是一天傍晚，我和好朋友在金寨路旁边的一个公园里用手机在自然光线下记录下来的，后来得知这个公园有一个非常美的名字：雨花塘。我们站在湖边，三月清风，清澈明朗。建筑在茂盛的植物里若隐若现，湖面波光粼粼，樱花阵阵清香。大自然是一个神奇的魔术师，它总是出其不意给人惊喜。天是蓝粉色的，还挂着月亮，水是青绿的，还原着我眼里的景象，我好想住进岸边的小房子里。在我印象里，这是一个非常干净舒适的傍晚，正如，我对合肥的印象一样，非常的干净，安全以及自由。

When it finished, the temperature difference caused the raindrops to vapor instantly and the steam appeared above the gorge, where the mountain river is hidden under the cover of trees…
The picture shows the Ksiaz Castle (克雄日城堡) in the Lower Silesia region of Poland, Europe. The castle was built on top of the rock, surrounded by the river in a deep gouge that goes around the castle. The castle, because of its unique location, makes it is in harmony between humans and nature – people respect the wildlife around, which let wild animals live just next to the castle – the most extraordinary example is the mouflon.
The Castle on Top of the Rock
——Adrian Sitko
克雄日城堡位于波兰西里西亚地区，整个城堡建在岩石上，周围被一道很深的河道环绕着。因其特殊的地理位置，这里成为了人与自然和谐共处的写照——人类生活在岩石上的城堡里，动物们生活在周边郁郁葱葱的森林里，静谧而又生机勃勃。雨水升华了克雄日城堡的美丽，当雨停的时候，温差使得雨滴瞬间蒸发，水蒸气出现在峡谷的上方，云雾缭绕，犹如人间仙境。
Have you heard of the word “breathtaking”? I used to think this word is just a metaphorical exaggeration of something beautiful, and I did not pay much attention to it. There are too many beautiful things in the world, right? People, flowers, cars, art objects, a neighbor’s cat. But how can they take your breath?
Once I went to a place somewhere by the side of the Caucasus. It was a lovely sunny day when I decided to face the magnificence of the mountains for the first time in my life. Through the heavy road, I reached the pick and… I forgot how to breathe. Being on the top of the mountain, surrounded by clouds at an unbelievable height, made me think of this tricky “breathtaking” word. It cannot be explained until you feel this. It was the moment I truly fell in love with mountains.
Remind Me How to Breath
——Dariia Pabolkova
“Breathtaking”在英语中，用来形容令人惊叹到不得不屏住呼吸的美丽。然而这世上有太多美好的事物，美人、繁花、靓车、艺术作品还有邻居家的猫咪……Breathtaking被太过泛滥地使用了，以至于在Dariia从来没有正视过这个形容词背后的震撼力量。可当有一天，Dariia顶着明媚的阳光站在高加索附近的山脉顶端时，她第一次忘记了呼吸，仿佛站在云端，被大自然的壮丽所折服。她举起相机，咔嚓一声，记录下这一幕令她屏息的自然之美。
The world lying in front of us is so bright and so large - no borders can be seen. Snow is everywhere; all roads are covered with shining white crystals. Soon spring is going to come and everything will change, but for now, let's enjoy last winter days. The sky is blue and clean - have a nice deep breath with this fresh cold air. Silence is all around, only gentle wind plays its favorite soft melody. You are here, alone with nature, so free and so inspired young soul.
What can you see beyond this wide horizon, colored by the rising morning sun? What magnificent future is waiting for you? Suddenly wind lifted the shiny ice crystals into the air, inviting us to follow it. Shall we try? The whole world is open to you, so don't hesitate to run towards your goals, towards your dreams, towards your spring.
Without Borders
——Portnova Kseniia
我们眼前的世界是如此明亮旷远，无边无际。白茫茫的雪覆盖了天地，道路被闪闪发光的白色水晶铺就。天空是晶莹剔透的蓝，深呼吸一口，胸膛充盈着冬天清冷的气息。世界寂静无声，只有微风演奏着轻盈的旋律。你就站在这里，与自然对话，一个孤独且自由，年轻且昂扬的灵魂。这一刻旭日初升，冰晶升腾，Portnova看到整个世界都为自己敞开了。春天很快就要到来，这一切都将消融，暂且静静享受这最后的冬日美景，然后不再留恋，不去犹豫，奔向目标、梦想，还有属于自己的春天吧。
迎接春天的最好方式莫过于在阳光灿烂的日子里，沐浴着清风，寻找春日美景。我最爱的地方便是科大西区的也西湖畔，绿草如茵，繁花似锦。含苞待放的花蕾，绚烂如虹，纯白如雪，构成了我眼中春天的色彩。
The Color of Spring
——Sahaza Delis
Humans experience a profound connection with nature, including emotions, attitudes, and behavior. I value nature because it reinforces my spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being. I feel alive in this place. I have always found that nature is a place of reflection for me, a place where I can slow down and reflect on what is going on in my life. Nature aids me in maintaining a sense of well-being and encourages positive emotions. Everything in the world comes from nature and returns to nature. Our lives cannot be developed, without re-connecting and cooperating with the natural world. Modern science and technology must undergo a balanced transformation in harmony with nature to achieve a new vision of sustainable human development. Living in harmony with nature is essential to sustainable human development. Our very existence depends on the survival of nature. We must respect and cherish it.
Humans, in Harmony with Nature
——Muhammad Usman
世间万物，源于自然，归于自然。人类与自然之间有着深刻的纽带，我们的情感、思想、态度、行动都与自然共鸣。在匆匆的生活中，偶尔放慢脚步，体会大自然带给我们内心的幸福感和活力。在科技的飞速发展中，也不应忘记反哺自然。与自然的和谐相处，是人类可持续发展的重中之重，我们必须尊重自然、珍惜自然。
一张张照片，记录了大家眼中诗意的世界；一段段描述，表达了我们心底潜藏的思考。国际学院举办此次“镜头中的世界”摄影比赛，旨在为中外学生提供一个交流分享的平台，让世界的风景在指尖汇聚，让自然的美好在视线中传递，让彼此增进文化的认同和理解。
