【范文译文】

在学生会的组织下，我校十名学生于6月12日（星期三）来到学校附近的老年

活动中心，旨在为老人提供帮助。

志愿者于下午1点左右到达活动中心，受到了热烈欢迎。他们为老人们送上新

鲜水果，随后分为两组，一组负责打扫，一组负责聊天。六名志愿者扫地、拖地，

并对所有窗户进行擦拭，用了差不多一小时。与此同时，其余志愿者聚精会神地听

着老人们以怀旧之情回忆过去的美好时光。本次活动以主题为“如何用微信发送语音

信息、进行视频通话”的讲座收尾。

“老人们精神焕发、积极乐观，给我留下了深刻印象，”一名志愿者说道，“让我

开心的是，我们在一起的整个下午对他们来说是有意义的。他们对我们的陪伴表示

感谢，在我看来，这种陪伴对他们来说可能是最需要的。”
