合肥，古称庐州、庐阳，位于长江、淮河之间，立于巢湖之滨，襟江拥湖，有“江南唇齿，淮右襟喉”、“江南之首，中原之喉”之称，两千多年的历史为这座古城积淀了深厚的文化底蕴。古人以诗传情，用诗意的笔触描绘逸兴放达的庐州生活，而今我们以图会友，用精彩图片展现合肥这座城市朝夕与四季的风景。

在国际学院组织的“镜头中的世界”摄影比赛中，留学生们踊跃参与，记录身边的爱与感动，用镜头定格身边的美丽，展现了他们对合肥、对生活的热爱。

“合肥印象”主题：Impression of Hefei

They say USTC is ‘Heart of Hefei’, as to me it’s ‘The Brain of Hefei’. A beautiful brain is full of wisdom and brightness. On a snowy morning in February 2022, the campus turned into white heaven, felt like walking on glowing diamonds. Thinking of bright minds who came to USTC, for a bright future and yet few full-bright get the chance to witness glowing USTC.

Knowledge Glows

——Warda Rafaqat

有人说，科大是合肥的心脏。而在Warda Rafaqat眼里，科大是合肥之脑，智慧之光，她对合肥最深的印象就是朝夕相处的校园。照片拍摄于2022年2月一个大雪纷飞的早晨，银装素裹下的校园变成了雪白的海洋，点缀着细碎的钻石光芒。她呼吁大家，向着光明未来进发的同时，不要忘了停下脚步欣赏身边发光的风景。

远处高楼林立，近处绿树繁茂。天空清澈透亮的蓝，夕阳未落山，金碧辉煌，火烧着云朵，像鱼鳞一样。整个城市在有条不紊的运行中。空气清新自然，天空清澈透亮，整个城市都笼罩在一片宁静与美好中。我在屋顶迷了路，但我却感到安全自由，美好真实，多么想永远停留在这一刻。

Getting Lost on the Roof

This picture gives a feel of both nature and also architectural mastery. One can see the strategic planning that went into building some of the infrastructures. And there’s no better place to build the Hefei museum than right next to Swan Lake. Quite a spectacular view and I hope others enjoy it as much as I do.

Hefei——State of the Art

——Komana Katanga

合肥大剧院位于天鹅湖以北，是合肥的地标性建筑之一，从这张照片中可以看到合肥城市建设独具匠心的战略规划。合肥大剧院体现了自然之美与人工建筑的和谐统一，充满着艺术气息。如此壮观的景色，Komana希望大家共赏。

Hefei is a modern city with inspiring architecture, but it also has areas where you can have a break. The picture shows one of the symbols of Hefei, which can be seen on many posters around the city – a windmill in the Baohe district of Hefei. The area is flooded with flowers of many species and colors.

Because of the pandemic, I haven’t been able to stay in Hefei for a long time. But the thing that stays in my memory, are people. And people of Hefei are what made my stay unique and worthy. The city may change, but friendship and memories last – and this is the case for people, that I met in Hefei. I wouldn’t be able to visit this place and take this picture, if not for my friends from Hefei. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to return and discover more of the culture that Hefei has.

The Windmill

——Adrian Sitko

合肥是一座现代化的城市，有着现代化都市的快节奏，但也可以找到让心灵休憩的地方。图为合肥的标志之一，牛角大圩的风车花海。这张照片承载着Adrian对合肥彩色的回忆，也寄托着他的多彩希冀。这座城市可能会改变，但友谊和记忆会像定格的照片一样永恒。

黄昏的雾霭给林立的高楼大厦镀上一层梦幻的紫色，与路边树林盎然的绿意交相辉映，这一刻，我完全沉浸于这仲夏傍晚的梦境中了。

A City Full of Happiness

——Muhammad Usman

鳞次栉比的高楼、川流不息的人群和五彩缤纷的灯光向人们展示着合肥这座城市的魅力。古老文化与现代文明在合肥飞速发展的经济和普通的日常生活中交织。Muhammad Usman觉得，合肥具有强大的科研实力、先进的技术和惊人的创新能力，合肥正以“科、工、园、康”之城的面貌，迎来一个新的发展时代，宜居友好的生活氛围，让合肥成为一座幸福之城。

“Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.”

There are so many tourist spots in and around Hefei; some of them have scenic beauty and some have an architectural background. Sanhe Village is a combination of both, a feature which compelled me to visit this beautiful town. Named upon its three splendid rivers Fengle, Hangfu, and Xiaonan, Sanhe Village is a 2500-year-old ancient town which is situated at a distance of 32 kilometers away from Hefei. The town is not only full of natural beauty but also witnesses the analytical and artistic skills of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

When I stepped into Sanhe Village, I was hit by the tranquility of nature. I was wonderstruck to see the crystal-clear water of rivers along with vivid water plants, decorated boats seemed to me like ancient culture floating on the surface of water further beautifying the amicability of rivers, and the highness of Wangyue Pagoda was giving an architectural glimpse. Characterized with streets made of slate which shines even after thousands of years, walls built with black bricks, beautifully-painted rafters, and ancient bridges, this city is full of cultural landscapes and will forever be in my living memory.

Spellbound Beauty of Land

——Tahmina Nazish

“每年去一个你从未去过的地方”，这是Tahmina的信条。来到合肥后，她惊喜地发现合肥及其周边有很多旅游景点，有的风景优美，有的底蕴浓厚。其中最令她念念不忘的是三河古镇。三河古镇因丰乐河、杭埠河、小南河三水交汇而得名，有着2500年悠久的历史，是中国历史文化名镇。Tahmina在桥上静坐时，看到了清澈见底的河水和摇曳多姿的水草。漂浮在河水上的一艘艘船只，在她眼里就仿佛随波流淌的古老文化。这千百年来熠熠生辉的街道、青砖砌成的城墙、彩绘的椽子、古老的桥梁，都将永远留在她鲜活的记忆中。

 

 

在文人笔下，美是抑扬顿挫的诗篇；

在画师手中，美是五彩缤纷的色彩；

在乐师谱下，美是精妙绝伦的乐曲；

在镜头下，美是一张张定格的照片。
