　　David Cotter grew up in Northern Ireland and Canada. He studied for his bachelor degree at the University of Calgary and went on to study for a master degree and a PHD in Trinity College, University of Dublin. He spent the next few years teaching in

 a variety of schools in Ireland and later giving lectures in Tsinghua University. He has also published a book on Irish writer, James Joyce. About three years ago David came to Beijing to set up a school. In the following article he describes this experience.

　　大衛考特爾在北愛爾蘭和加拿大長大。他在卡爾加里大學取得學士學位以后，前往都柏林大學圣三一學院求學，先后獲得了碩士和博士學位。此后幾年，他先后在愛爾蘭的許多學校從事教學工作，隨后又前往清華大學舉辦講座。他還出版過一本關于愛爾蘭作家詹姆斯喬伊斯的著作。大約在三年前，大衛來到北京，成立了一所學校。在下面這篇文章中，他講述了自己的這一經歷。

　　I have been in Beijing for almost three years. During this time, I have worked together with a very trusted and talented Chinese partner on establishing and managing Ai-Hua English. We have overcome many difficulties, and I am so proud of the product of our labour.

　　After arriving in China with this project in mind, we spent six months ascertaining the best way to set ourselves up legally. This was a time of long meetings at long elliptical tables, at which I could understand nothing of what was being said, followed by strange dinners with gallons of baijiu, at which I still understood nothing of what was being said, but nonetheless had opportunity to laugh and roar. I often felt very helpless at this time.

　　我們是懷著從事這個項目的想法來到中國的，之后，我們花了六個月的時間來確定如何才能最好地使我們的事業規范地建立起來。這段時間里，我們總是聚在橢圓型長桌旁開著冗長的會議，開完會后就是吃著備感生疏的飯菜不停地喝白酒，在長桌旁別人都說了什么我也是一點也聽不懂，吃喝時別人都說了什么我也是一點也聽不懂，不過，即使是這樣，有時還是會開懷大笑一番的。這段時間，我經常會產生無助感。

　　Eventually we succeeded in attaining a license from the ShiJingShan Department of Education, and opened our school in 5 of
