グループ六の一年生・私の学園祭

日本で学園祭は全部キャンパスのおまつりです。色々なサークルは色々な事を見せます。それは書道部が大きい書道をしたり、バスケットボール部が勝負をしたり、映画部が映画を分析したりします。他学生は飲み物や食べ物や手作り物を売ります。学生は売店を管理します。

Gakuensai in Japan is a campus wide festival organised by the students. Various clubs prepare stalls and/or activities to showcase their clubs, these include clubs such as the calligraphy club doing big shodo, the basketball club playing a match, the film club analysing films, and many others. Other students that do not belong to a club do similar things, such as setting up stalls to sell food, or handmade products such as gloves, among other things. The students handmake and run the stalls themselves.

エディンバラ大学で、私たちの学園祭は全部キャンパスではありませんが、楽しんでました。学生も売店を作りました。その売店はお酒の試飲をしたり、カラオケを歌ったり、おどったり、食べ物を売ったりしました。日本に学園祭で売る食べ物はたこやきややきそばとかですが、エディンバラでケーキとかを売りました。花火大会をしませんでしたが、酒場に行きました。すごく楽しかったと思います。

Our gakuensai in Edinburgh was not a campus wide festival like in Japan, however it was great fun! Our stalls were also set up by the students, and included alcohol tasting, karaoke, dancing and food selling, just like the stalls at the gakuensai in Japan. However the food sold in Edinburgh was mostly cakes, whereas in Japan there is a variety of foods that includes cooked foods such as takoyaki and yakisoba. Afterwards, we did not have a fireworks display like some school in Japan do, but we did go out for a celebratory drink at a bar. I’m sure the gakuensai at Edinburgh was as much fun as the one in Japan!
