USYD’s O-week finished last Friday. To our club and our members, it has probably been a really busy event that seriously required much physical strength and capability of speech. Luckily, the result turned out to be fantastic again with 50+ new members joined! New people, welcome!
上周五悉大的迎新周结束了。对我们这个社团以及各个成员而言，这个活动真的让人从头忙到尾，而且既考验体力又考验口才。还好，在这三天的活动里，陆陆续续有五十多名新人加入，可以说结果比较喜人了。新人们，欢迎加入剑道社！

It could not be more grateful that lots of members were involved helping our club in different ways during O-week! Members who stood in front of our stall in the typical Australian summer sunlight, recruiting until the last second of the event, who helped prepare any necessary stuff the three days from morning to night, and who joined our spectacular demonstration, countless thanks for your hard work!
非常感谢在迎新周里用各种方式参与到帮助社团招新当中的社员们：有站在夏日阳光里卖力招揽新人直到活动最后一秒的，帮着从早到晚准备各种必要物品的，还有为观众献上精彩演出的——社员们为了这个活动真的很辛苦。感激不尽！

The pictures in this article were taken by our club’s amazing photographers; I hope whenever you’d like to look back these days, they will always help!
这里还有一些社团摄影大神的照片，希望各位在任何时候想回忆这三天的点点滴滴，它们都可以帮到你们！

Finally, it would be a valuable bit of relief if this year’s O-week will leave more or less happiness in your mind as a result of anything you were proud of: successful teamwork, self management, gaining motivation, showing off in demonstration, or working with friends… and keep moving with it.
最后，如果参与到迎新活动中能够让你或多或少感到高兴的话，不管是因为团队还是因为自我，因为受到了激励还是在表演的时候秀了一把，或者是和好友一起累着……希望这段回忆能够一直让你高兴、开心。
