 每个身在异乡的人都会有思乡情绪,尤其是......

Jennifer: Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English from BBC Learning1 English. I'm

Jennifer and I'm joined by Finn.

Finn: Hello Jen. In this programme, we're going to talk about homesickness.

That's the feeling that you get when you're away from home and miss it –

feel sad because you would like to be there. Do you ever get homesick,

Jen?

Jennifer: Oh yes. I live in London now, but I was born in the north-east of England,

which is a three-hour train journey away. Sometimes I wish I could go

back home and see my family. How about you?

Finn: I've felt homesick when I've spent time in other countries. It's very

common and a lot of people suffer from it.

Jennifer: We'll talk soon about some tips that you can use to combat2, or

overcome, homesickness, but first, a quiz question.

Finn: Ok, I'm ready.

Jennifer: What percentage of students experience homesickness in their early days

at university?

a) 50%

b) 60%

c) 70%

Finn: I'm going to say b) 60%

Jennifer: We'll find out if you're right at the end of the programme. So, if you are

homesick, how does it feel?

Finn: Well, I think you can often feel very lonely, especially if you've moved to

a foreign country where the language is different to yours. You can feel

quite isolated3 – feeling that you're on your own with no one to help.

Jennifer: That's true. It's often very difficult when you don't know many people. It's

stressful. It can be hard to make friends, and you will often think about

your friends and family back at home.

Finn: You could say that you pine for your home. That means that you really

want to go back and see some familiar faces, or people you know.

Jennifer: I miss my friends and family lots. But when I'm feeling homesick, I also

miss places, sounds and smells!

Finn: You might see a picture of your hometown, which can make you feel a bit

sad, because you're not there.

Jennifer: Food is something else that I long for – I want it very much - when I'm

away from home. There are lots of regional foods which you can't get in

London, but the thing I miss the most is my mum's home cooking. If I

smell something that reminds me of home, I feel extremely homesick!

Finn: You're starting to make me feel homesick now! Nowadays lots of people

live, work or study away from home. People travel all over the world, and

homesickness is a growing problem.

Jennifer: Lots of people will experience mild homesickness – so they feel a little

sad, but they can deal with it. Other people have more extreme

homesickness.

Finn: They might experience panic attacks or nightmares…

Jennifer: … and some people withdraw5 from society altogether. That means they

don't go out or interact6 with anyone.

Finn: Some people think that if you feel that homesick, you should just go

home! But often it's not as easy as that, especially if you are studying or

working somewhere.

Jennifer: There are ways to make it better, though. Modern technology has helped

a lot of people to stay in touch with their families by using video-calling

software, such as Skype or FaceTime.

Finn: That's a good idea, because actually seeing someone talk to you is much

better than just hearing them on the phone. Social media also helps

people to communicate with the people they left behind.

Jennifer: Another good idea is to meet up with expat communities. That way, you

can make new friends who speak your language – that can take the

pressure off a little bit.

Finn: It can… But it's also good to mix with locals in a new town or city. In my

opinion, that's the best way to stop feeling so isolated when you're in a

different place.

Jennifer: If you're really struggling or having a hard time, you could try talking to a

doctor or professional to get some advice, or even a good friend.

Sometimes, even acknowledging7, or realising, that you're homesick can

be the first step to feeling better.

Finn: Well, I hope that our listeners aren't suffering from homesickness – but

we need to find out the answer to the quiz question that Jennifer set

earlier.

Jennifer: I asked what percentage of students typically suffer from homesickness

when they start university. Was it:

a) 50%

b) 60%

c) 70%

Finn: And I said b) 60%

Jennifer: And you were wrong! Seventy per cent of all students feel homesick when

they begin university.

Finn: So it's very common and completely normal to feel a little bit sad when

you are in a new situation!

Jennifer: Now, Finn, we're almost out of time, so could you remind us of the words

we've heard today?

Finn: They were:

homesickness

lonely

isolated

stressful

to pine for something

familiar faces

panic attacks

to withdraw from something

to stay in touch

expat communities.

Jennifer: Join us again for another edition of 6 Minute English from BBC Learning

English. Bye for now!

Finn: Goodbye!
