（中外新闻社小记者 覃慧林 桂海明 朱思宇 曲知临 林婉婷）认识一个国家，首先需要知道这个歌国家的亮点，我们小记者认识斯洛伐克，是因为斯洛伐克运动员在冬奥会上屡获佳绩，奖牌总数在中欧国家中名列前茅。根据国际奥委会官方统计，截至2024年巴黎奥运会前，斯洛伐克在冬奥会上共获得19枚奖牌（5金、8银、6铜），主要集中在冬季两项、越野滑雪和冰球等项目。2月18日，正在意大利米兰举行的米兰-科尔蒂纳冬奥会冰球项目男子四分之一决赛中，斯洛伐克队又以6比2战胜德国队。值得一提的是，2021年2月北京冬奥会开幕倒计时一周年之际，斯洛伐克选手就曾在国际媒体发表公开信支持北京冬奥会。佩特拉在信中说：“北京冬奥会是重回正常世界的一步。”
To learn about a country, one must first grasp its defining features. Our junior journalists first know about Slovakia because its athletes consistently excel at the Winter Olympics, ranking among the top medal-winning nations in Central Europe. According to official statistics from the International Olympic Committee, prior to the 2024 Paris Olympics, Slovakia had earned a total of 19 Winter Olympic medals (5 gold, 8 silver, 6 bronze), primarily in biathlon, cross-country skiing, and ice hockey. On February 18th, during the men's ice hockey quarterfinals at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy, the Slovakian team defeated Germany 6-2. Notably, on the one-year countdown to the Beijing Winter Olympics in February 2021, Slovak athletes published an open letter in international media expressing support for the Beijing Games. Petra stated in the letter: “The Beijing Winter Olympics represent a step back toward a normal world.”
斯洛伐克是一个发达的资本主义国家，也是欧盟和北约成员国，于2006年被世界银行列入发达国家行列。并于2007年12月21日成为申根公约会员国。2009年1月起加入欧元区。2月6日，“见证友谊” --中国中外新闻社小记者2026寒假应邀采访斯洛伐克驻华大使莱齐亚克阁下。莱齐亚克大使表示：“希望斯中两国青少年成为推动中斯关系开启新篇章”。

“谢谢你的问题! 对于青少年来说, 首先要保持好奇心，对于一个学子，对于我们来说要寻找目标, 并且相信自己, 努力实现自己的目标。两国青少年需要了解对方国家文化, 与文化在交流中得到共鸣,并且致力于中斯两国友好的初心使命。”莱齐亚克大使满怀信心的谈到，作为大使，我会极力的推动青少年之间的文化交流，使得两个国家的青少年多享受更美好的未来，以后我们一起来互动，让两个国家的下一代能够更好的交流。
“Thank you for your question! For young people, the first step is to maintain curiosity. As students, we must seek our goals, believe in ourselves, and strive to achieve them. Youth from both countries need to understand each other's cultures, find resonance through cultural exchange, and commit to the original mission of fostering friendship between China and Sri Lanka. Ambassador Leciak expressed with confidence: “As ambassador, I will vigorously promote cultural exchanges among young people, enabling the youth of both nations to enjoy a brighter future. Let us collaborate to foster better communication between the next generations of our two countries.”
有小记者问：“大使阁下您好！斯洛伐克拥有深厚文化底蕴与鲜明的艺术特色，1月8日，您访问了中国国家大剧院，双方聚焦深化中斯文化艺术领域合作、拓展人文交流维度，展开了深入且富有建设性的探讨。请问：中国同斯洛伐克在文化、科技领域还有哪些合作空间？谢谢！”
“Hello Ambassador, Slovakia possesses a rich cultural heritage and distinctive artistic traditions. On January 8th, during your visit to the National Centre for the Performing Arts in China, both sides engaged in in-depth and constructive discussions focused on deepening cooperation in the fields of culture and the arts, as well as expanding the scope of people-to-people exchanges. In your opinions, what further opportunities exist for cooperation between China and Slovakia in culture, science and technology sectors? Thank you!”
莱齐亚克大使说，对中国国家大剧院推动多元文明对话的努力与成效我表示赞赏，他们同斯洛伐克文化艺术的发展以及国内重点艺术机构比较相似，未来深化两国艺术领域的合作双方表现积极意愿，斯洛伐克驻华使馆将全力支持两国文化机构合作，推进在华文化中心筹备建设，期待以此为平台，助力更多斯洛伐克优秀艺术机构、艺术家登上国家大剧院舞台。另外，使馆会在北京成立“斯洛伐克文化中心，”合作领域：1.经济合作；2.斯洛伐克咨询进入到中国国人脑子；斯洛伐克重要的产业进入中国市场；3.旅游。
Ambassador Lajčiak stated: “I commend the National Centre for the Performing Arts in China for its efforts and achievements in promoting exchanges among diverse civilizations. These efforts bear striking similarities to the development of Slovak culture and arts, as well as to key domestic artistic institutions. Both sides expressed strong willingness to deepen future cooperation in the arts. The Slovak Embassy in China will fully support collaboration between cultural institutions of both countries and advance preparations for establishing a Slovak Cultural Center in China. We look forward to leveraging this platform to help more outstanding Slovak artistic institutions and artists perform on the stage of the National Centre for the Performing Arts. Additionally, the Embassy will establish the “Slovak Cultural Center” in Beijing. Areas of cooperation include: 1. Economic cooperation; 2. Raising awareness of Slovakia among the Chinese public; facilitating key Slovak industries into the Chinese market; 3. Tourism.
有小记者问：大使阁下您好！斯洛伐克的教育质量得到了国际认可。 根据OECD发布的《2018年度教育着眼于》报告，斯洛伐克在数学、阅读和科学三个领域的学生表现均高于OECD平均水平。请问：如果我们将来选择到斯洛伐克留学，您能给我们什么建议吗？谢谢！
Another junior journalist asked: “Hello Ambassador, Slovakia's educational quality has gained international recognition. According to the Education at a Glance 2018 OECD report, Slovakian students outperformed the OECD average in mathematics, reading, and science. We want to know if we choose to study in Slovakia in the future, what advices would you give to us? Thank you!”
莱齐亚克大使说，一般来说的话，中国同斯洛伐克大学之间的合作是比较多的，双方互派教师授课，开展学生互换项目，开展服务中国在斯企业项目，充分发挥丝路学院在中斯双方人才培养、产学研合作和文化交流等方面的积极推动作用。OECD这样的一个报告，其实是分为两个部分的。第一，就是这个教育的一个系统的评估，然后有不一样的评分标准；第二，就是来比较每个国家之间大学的一个教育质量。斯洛伐克实行十年义务教育，国家对食宿给予补贴。教育分为学前教育、初等教育、中等教育和高等教育。如果你们将来选择到斯洛伐克留学，首先需要获得我们大使馆的签证，然后我们给你们提供制定一个更高级别的教育计划，以满足你们的需要。
Ambassador Lajčiak replied that, generally speaking, cooperation between Chinese and Slovak universities is quite extensive. Both sides exchange faculty members for teaching assignments, implement student exchange programs, and carry out projects serving Chinese enterprises in Slovakia. The Silk Road Academy plays a proactive role in promoting talent development, industry-academia-research collaboration, and cultural exchange between China and Slovakia. The OECD report is essentially divided into two parts. First, it involves a systematic evaluation of the education system with distinct grading criteria; Second, it compares the educational quality of universities across different countries. Slovakia implements a ten-year compulsory education system, with the state providing subsidies for boarding and lodging. The education system comprises preschool, primary, secondary, and higher education. Should you choose to study in Slovakia, you must first obtain a visa from our embassy. We will then assist you in developing a higher-level education plan tailored to your needs.
还有喜欢旅游的小记者问：“大使阁下您好！斯洛伐克是欧洲的城堡之国, 城堡非常有特色, 其中一个最著名的古迹, 斯皮斯城堡被列入世界顶级城堡，我们对斯洛伐克的城堡很感兴趣，请大使谈谈斯洛伐克的城堡和旅游。谢谢！”
“Hello Ambassador, Slovakia is known as the “Land of Castles” in Europe, renowned for its distinctive castles. Among its most famous landmarks, Spiš Castle ranks among the world's top castle. We are deeply interested in Slovakia's castles, please share your insights on Slovakian castles and tourism. Thank you!” asked by a junior journalist who enjoys travelling the most.
莱齐亚克大使说: “斯洛伐克是欧洲的明珠，以其丰富的历史文化和独特的城堡遗产闻名。 它被誉为“城堡之国”，是世界上城堡数量最多的国家之一。 斯洛伐克境内城堡总数约达180处，这些城堡不仅数量惊人，而且保存状态良好，其中不乏历经数百年仍屹立不倒的古老建筑。 除此之外，斯洛伐克还拥有约1200处庄园房屋和高楼，将城堡文化和建筑艺术展现得淋漓尽致。 这些城堡不仅仅是历史的见证，更是拥有丰富的历史和美丽的自然风光，是旅游爱好者的天堂。”
Ambassador Lajčiak answered: “Slovakia is a jewel of Europe, renowned for its rich history, culture, and unique castle heritage. Dubbed the “Land of Castles,” it ranks among the world's countries with the highest number of castles. Slovakia boasts approximately 180 castles, remarkable not only for their sheer number but also for their excellent state of preservation. Many of these ancient structures have stood firm for centuries. Additionally, the country possesses around 1,200 manor houses and towers, showcasing its castle culture and architectural artistry in full splendor. These castles are not merely historical relics; they are also heavens for travelers, offering rich historical narratives and breathtaking natural landscapes.”
采访结束，莱齐亚克大使和斯洛伐克驻华使馆新闻官杜琪雅女士一同邀请小记者们品尝美食和果汁，小记者非常开心，也向大使赠送自己准备的小礼物。一时间, 中斯友好的气氛回荡在斯洛伐克大使馆, 大家在欧盟国旗、斯洛伐克国旗、中国国旗前面合影, 齐声欢呼: 中斯友谊万岁!
After the interview concluded, Ambassador Leciak and Counsellor Ms. Lucia Skvareninova of the Slovak Embassy in China, invited the junior journalists to enjoy refreshments and juice. The junior journalists were delighted and presented the Ambassador with small gifts they had prepared. For a moment, the atmosphere of Slovak-Chinese friendship filled the Slovak Embassy. Everyone gathered for a group photo in front of the flags of the European Union, Slovakia, and China, cheering in unison: “China and Slovakia’s friendship go on forever!”
