As you plan -- or even go -- on your summer vacation, think about this: More and more Americans are no longer taking a few weeks off to suntan and sightsee abroad. Instead they're working in orphanages1, building schools and teaching2 English. 
如果你正谋划如何过暑假,考虑下这个:越来越多的美国人不再花数周时间去晒日光浴或者去国外观光旅行,他们去孤儿院做义工,参与学校建设,教孩子们英语。
