Teranga是西非塞内加尔沃洛夫语(Wolof)词汇,意为"好客",既是该国文化核心精神,也是其非正式别称“特兰加”
/ˌsɛnɪˈgɔːl/ n. 塞内加尔 (国家)
Teranga: The word that defines Senegal
You never know what to expect on your trip. As I waited for my plane to Dakar, a woman dressed in boubou asked if she could use my mobile phone. While I was hesitating, a similarly dressed traveller presented her phone to the woman without a second thought. This was my introduction to Teranga: The Senegalese way of life.
/ˈdækə/ n. 达喀尔(首都)
/ˈbuːbuː/ n. 西非及撒哈拉以南非洲地区男女均可穿着的宽松长袍,通常色彩鲜艳或带有刺绣

Teranga: The word that defines Senegal
During the summer I spent volunteering in Dakar, Teranga helped me learn about and enjoy Senegalese culture. I accepted an invitation to stay with a local family, and regular offers to visit their neighbours and drink coffee. In Dakar, a friend told me, people would be willing to share whatever they have. Requests to strangers for a place to rest, a bathroom, a phone or water, would likely be answered with Teranga.

自在、舒适
Teranga: The word that defines Senegal
When we went on trips to the beach, children who didn’t even know me would jump into my arms to get away from the coming waves. I was shocked by their ease with me, until I remembered that they were raised to believe that community members — even strangers — will always support each other. I often saw adults educating and guiding neighbourhood children like a parent would.

Teranga: The word that defines Senegal
Teranga is especially visible in Senegal’s food culture. Senegalese families cook in a manner that expects the arrival of guests; it can be a friend or a stranger. To prepare to greet even unplanned visitors with Teranga, there’s often an extra plate ready. And for guests who do show up at mealtime, they will always get the best part of the dish. The local people truly believe that the more you give, the more you receive.
/ɡriːt/ v. 打招呼、
欢迎、问候
/ˌʌnˈplænd/ adj. 意外的、计划之外的
/ʃəʊ ʌp/ v. 出现、露面

协调的
Teranga: The word that defines Senegal
Teranga builds a culture where there is no “other” and keeps neighbourhood life harmonious. As a song says, “When people come to your country, welcome them and honour them so much that when they leave they will want to return.” It’s no wonder visitors to the country can’t wait to go back.

From the writer’s experience, I learned about Teranga – the Senegalese way of being kind to everyone. People there trust strangers easily, like letting them use their phones or inviting them to their homes. They also share food and always give guests the best part of the meal. They believe that the more you give, the more you get. This makes the neighbourhood very friendly and peaceful.

I also learned that we should be open to others and help people, even if we don’t know them. It is good to make visitors feel welcome so they will want to come back.
