作為拉丁美洲的文明古國,，墨西哥有著悠久深厚的文化和歷史,，有我們熟知的遠古神秘瑪雅文明,，也有近代社會發(fā)展的不平衡與沖突,。
為了給學生們提供更多的文化經(jīng)歷,，法國里昂商學院已經(jīng)與墨西哥諸多知名大學合作聯(lián)動,，包括美洲大學,、墨西哥蒙特雷科技大學,、墨西哥自治理工大學及墨西哥泛美大學商學院,，讓學生們有機會前往墨西哥體驗一把拉丁美洲文明古國的獨特生活,。
里昂商學院墨西哥校友會成立至今已有70名校友加入了，其中有一半的校友是常駐在墨西哥首都墨西哥城的,。今天,，小編就為大家介紹一位里昂校友- Alix-Anne Farque, 作為里昂“校友大使”，她已經(jīng)在墨西哥工作,、居住了9年,，在過去5年里Alix又為墨西哥校友會招募做出了很多貢獻。
接下來,，讓我們跟著Alix一起來了解一下在墨西哥的生活吧,！
Q1: What kind of advice would you give to a newcomer?
對初來乍到墨西哥的朋友，你有什么建議,？
Alix: You need to get out there and try things out! It would be easier for you if you spoke a few words of Spanish in order to facilitate your integration within the local community. You have to be curious and want to discover the local culture; share some free time with your co-workers or your neighbors!
多出去走走,，嘗試不同的新鮮事物很重要。如果你能說一點西班牙語的話,，那就更好了,。這樣就能更容易與當?shù)厝私涣鳎瑫Ξ數(shù)厣鐓^(qū)有更深入的了解,。如果你想要探索墨西哥文化歷史，那一定要在工作之余多和你的同事或者鄰居聚在一起,。
Q2: Something that should not be done…
有哪些事是不建議做的,？
Alix: Do not speak English; avoid criticizing everything; and do not get together with only French people!
盡量避免多說英語，避免對人對物進行指責,，也不要總是只和法國人聚在一起,。
Q3: What are the main areas of development in Mexico?
墨西哥主要發(fā)展領域是哪些？
Alix: Several sectors of activity are booming: the startup ecosystem, financial sector, healthcare sector, energy industry – Pemex recently lost its monopoly opening the market to new sectors; or tourism industry.
有幾個重要發(fā)展領域,，比如創(chuàng)業(yè)生態(tài)系統(tǒng),、金融業(yè)、健康醫(yī)療業(yè)以及能源行業(yè)-墨西哥石油公司近期也失去了對新行業(yè)開放市場的壟斷,，以及旅游業(yè),。
Q4: Any other ideas?
還有其他可以分享的嗎？
Alix: A new President has recently been elected on July 1st, 2018 - Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, from the left-wing party – who will take over the power on December 1st, 2018. These elections have been quite exceptional since they put a stop to the PRI party reign. The result of the elections may bring some profound changes in the leadership of the country in the coming years. Also, the country is going through a very doubtful period with the United States reconsidering NAFTA.
今年7月1日,，墨西哥左翼政黨候選人Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador贏得總統(tǒng)選舉,，將于12月1日起正式出任墨西哥總統(tǒng)。這一選舉結果出人意料,，打破了革命制度黨近一個世紀以來的執(zhí)政歷史,。但是，在不久的將來,，這也將給墨西哥政府領導層帶來深遠的改革,。當然,，在北美自由貿易協(xié)定的問題上，墨西哥還在經(jīng)歷一個不確定階段,。
A piece of advice would be to go beyond what general media report about Mexico – drug trafficking, drugs and street gun fights. Mexico is a very large territory, as it represents three times the surface of France, with a great economic growth. Mexican people are serious workers, very optimistic and committed to their jobs. The country has many sides which can appeal to everyone: history, culture, colonial cities, beaches, mountains (highest mountain at 5 636m: Pic d'Orizaba), sports, many cultural holidays, family traditions…
除了媒體經(jīng)常報道的有關墨西哥走私販毒,、街頭槍戰(zhàn)等負面問題外，墨西哥還是一個地域遼闊的國家,，其國土面積是法國的三倍,，經(jīng)濟增長速度也非常快,。墨西哥人民工作勤奮,、認真，態(tài)度也十分積極正面,。墨西哥還有許多吸引人的地方,，比如歷史、文化,、殖民城市,、海灘、高山,、體育,、文化節(jié)假日及傳統(tǒng)習俗等。
Q5: One final word?
最后用一句話來總結,？
Alix: Come visit Mexico! People who have had the curiosity to discover the country, have done everything in their power to come back and get settled there. Mexico City is a great city to live in and the country was awarded #1 country by InterNations for woman expatriation! We will welcome you with open arms!
來墨西哥吧,！如果你對墨西哥有一顆好奇、想探索的心,，那就來這里生活吧,。墨西哥城是個很棒的城市，也曾被InterNations評為最適宜女性移居的城市,，我們會張開雙臂歡迎你的到來,！
