I'm Charlotte and I'm super happy to see you again

我是夏洛特，很高興再次見到你。

I know it has been a while since my last video. I feel like so many things happened since that time

我知道自上一部影片以來已經有一段時間了。從那時起，我感覺發生了很多事情。

It has just been a crazy past few weeks, starting with me being clumsy and spilling a whole cup of tea on my computer.

過去的幾週一直是瘋狂的，從我笨拙到在我的計算機上灑了整杯茶開始。

I don't even own a hairdryer. That would have been nice. It's just sitting here for 2 days and I'm just too scared to turn it back on at this point, you know?

我什至沒有吹風機。那就太好了。它只在這里呆了2天，我很害怕此時無法重新打開它，您知道嗎？

I gave it some time, I tried to repair it but nothing was possible and then I had to start looking for a new one

我花了一些時間，嘗試修復它，但一切皆有可能，然後我不得不開始尋找新的

But that was not that easy, in a foreign country to find the computer you want.

但這並不是那麼容易，要在國外找到想要的計算機。

Other than that, of course, there's the whole crazy corona situation going on too.

除此之外，當然還有整個瘋狂的電暈情況。

Starting in Asia, in the beginning, my parents were more worried for me living in Taiwan.

從亞洲開始，從一開始，我的父母就更加擔心我住在台灣。

But Taiwan had a great response and it stayed completely under control there.

但是台灣的反應很熱烈，台灣在那裡完全受到控制。

As you might know, now it's Europe's turn to be centre of this epidemic and it might sound weird that right at this time, I decided to come back to Europe

如您所知，現在輪到歐洲成為這一流行病的中心了，這一次聽起來很奇怪，我決定回到歐洲

I will explain in this video why I had to make that decision.

我將在此視頻中解釋為什麼我必須做出這個決定。

When this whole virus first broke out in China, of course my family and friends here in Europe got really worried

當這種病毒在中國首次爆發時，我在歐洲的家人和朋友當然會非常擔心

And they were texting me like: “Hey, how are you there? Is it still safe to be in Asia? How is Taiwan doing?” and everybody was keeping up with the news.

他們向我發短信時說：“嘿，你好嗎？ 在亞洲仍然安全嗎？ 台灣怎麼樣？” 每個人都在關注這個消息。

We could quickly see that Taiwan had it under control, you know? There were cases but it was monitored very well.

我們可以很快看到台灣受到控制，你知道嗎？ 有病例，但受到很好的監測。

They even had a website where I could follow every single person that had been infected in Taiwan.

他們甚至有一個網站，可以讓我追踪台灣每個被感染的人。

We could see every single store they went to, every bus they took, their whole schedule was visible to everyone, to be careful.

我們可以看到他們去過的每家商店，乘坐的每輛公共汽車，整個時間表對於每個人都是可見的，請注意。

Also, Taiwan's medical healthcare is really advanced. So as the time went by, I felt more and more comfortable to stay in Taiwan and I felt safe there.

而且，台灣的醫療保健真的很先進。 隨著時間的流逝，我在台灣的住宿越來越舒適，在那裡我感到很安全。

Safe enough to stay. I also managed to reassure my family and friends that Taiwan was a safe place to be.

足夠安全。 我還設法向家人和朋友保證台灣是一個安全的地方。

My first real worry came when there were cases in Europe actually. Because as I saw it was spreading fast in Italy,

我的第一個真正的擔心是當歐洲確實有病例時。因為正如我所見，它在意大利迅速傳播，

it was kind of scary for me, because that was a sign it would be in Belgium fast enough as well

這對我來說有點嚇人，因為這表明它在比利時也足夠快。

In Europe we have this “free movement” so if one country in Europe has it, probably all the others will follow very quickly.

在歐洲，我們有這種“自由流動”，因此，如果歐洲一個國家擁有這種自由流動，那麼其他所有國家可能都會很快跟進。

At that point, I started to be worried about my family, because I am so lucky, I still have all of my 4 grandparents

那時，我開始擔心我的家人，因為我很幸運，我仍然有我所有的四個祖父母

It's just so scary to know that this disease that affects elderly especially would come to Belgium too

知道這種疾病尤其影響老年人，真是太恐怖了

The scariest part was that countries were starting to cancel flights from Asia to Europe

最可怕的是，一些國家開始取消從亞洲飛往歐洲的航班

I could see less and less flights going back to Belgium so even though I felt completely safe in Taiwan, I felt scared for my family in Europe

我看到返回比利時的航班越來越少，因此即使我在台灣完全感到安全，也感到對歐洲的家人感到害怕

What if someone in my family gets sick and it gets really bad and I'm just stuck in another country and I can't even be there for them…

如果我家裡有人生病，情況真的很糟，我被困在另一個國家，我什至不能在那裡陪他們怎麼辦...

That was actually a very scary thought for me. My parents too, they had the feeling, even though they knew Taiwan was very safe,

對我來說，那實際上是一個非常可怕的想法。我的父母也有這種感覺，即使他們知道台灣非常安全，

they had this feeling we had to reunite the family. Everybody should come home

他們有這種感覺，我們不得不重新團聚。每個人都應該回家

My sister was also studying in France and they also asked her to come home. We decided together that maybe it was wise to spend this quarantine period together

我姐姐也在法國學習，他們也要求她回家。我們共同決定，也許最好將這段隔離期一起度過

We also don't know how many weeks or months it can last and it's just scary to realise that I might be cut off from my family for that long

我們也不知道它能持續多少週或幾個月，這讓我很害怕意識到我可能會長期與家人隔離

Shortly after I came back to Europe, I heard that Taiwan will be limiting foreigners coming into their country

我回到歐洲後不久，聽說台灣將限制外國人進入本國

Only people with a really good reason to be there or who have a real resident visa can stay there.

只有有充分理由去那里或持有真正的居留簽證的人才能呆在那裡。

I did have a good visa, it was the “Working Holiday” so I think I would be allowed to stay longer

我確實有一個很好的簽證，那是“工作假期”，所以我想我可以待更長的時間

But the thing is, my visa is for 6 months and after 6 months I have to go to the immigration office, and I have to extend it again for 6 months

但問題是，我的簽證有效期為六個月，六個月後我必須去移民局，而且我必須再次將其延長六個月。

I just heard that right now Taiwan is not allowing anyone to extend their visa so that means that even if I would have stayed in Taiwan,

我剛剛聽說台灣現在不允許任何人延長簽證，這意味著即使我會留在台灣，

I would have been forced to leave the country soon because it's impossible to extend any visa right now

我本來會被迫很快離開這個國家，因為現在無法延長任何簽證

You know what's really cool? I came back here in Belgium, and since I've been back I heard Taiwan a lot in the Belgian news

你知道什麼真的很酷嗎？ 我回到了比利時，自從回來之後，我在比利時的新聞中聽到了很多台灣的消息

I think everywhere in Europe, we kind of consider Taiwan as being a great example of how people should have reacted

我認為在歐洲各地，我們都認為台灣是人們應該如何做出反應的一個很好的例子。

and how a country can be organized and ready for whenever this happens again

以及如何組織國家並為再次發生時做好準備

Basically, we talk about how Taiwan had to deal with SARS before and they really took this event to learn from it and act appropriately once another threat came to their country

基本上，我們談論的是台灣以前必須如何應對SARS，他們真的是通過這次活動來學習並從中汲取教訓，並在遇到另一種威脅後才採取適當行動。

It's really cool, I'm not even Taiwanese but I feel so proud every time I see Taiwan coming back in the Belgian news

真的很酷，我什至都不是台灣人，但每次看到台灣重返比利時新聞時，我都感到非常自豪

The situation right now looks very unclear. I don't know how long this quarantine will be,

現在的情況看起來還不清楚。我不知道隔離會持續多久，

I don't know what will happen to my visa because if I don't extend my visa, it won't be valid anymore

我不知道簽證會怎樣，因為如果我不延長簽證期限，它將不再有效

But it's not really my fault that I can't extend my visa, right? Because Taiwan doesn't allow us to extend the visa

但是我不能延長簽證並不是我的錯，對吧？因為台灣不允許我們延長簽證

I'm not sure what will happen. I'm not sure if I can go back to Taiwan and live there like I used to

我不確定會發生什麼。我不確定我是否可以像以前一樣回到台灣生活在台灣

Even if that's not the case, I just want to say: I'm so so grateful for the experience I already lived there

即使不是這樣，我只想說：我非常感激我已經住在那裡的經歷

I had such a great time. I was welcomed so warmly by Taiwanese people and I know people say it a lot:

我過得很開心。我受到台灣人民的熱烈歡迎，我知道很多人說：

One of Taiwan's great qualities is the people there, but I really want to say that it's so true

台灣的一大特色就是那裡的人，但我真的想說，這是真的

I'm so thankful also for my housemates, I feel like I was warmly welcomed into their house

我也非常感謝我的室友，我感到自己受到熱烈歡迎

Not just their house, also their whole family. I felt so happy spending holidays with them for Chinese New Year

不只是他們的房子，還有整個家庭。和他們一起度過農曆新年假期讓我感到很高興

I just want to say: Thank you, to everyone that I crossed on my path in Taiwan

我只想說：謝謝大家，我在台灣走過的每一個人

I feel like there are so many things I haven't done yet, I haven't eaten yet, I haven't seen yet

我覺得還有很多事情我還沒做，我還沒吃飯，我還沒看到

So even if I'm not allowed to go back to Taiwan with my visa, I know for sure that I'll be back in Taiwan one day,

因此，即使不允許我持簽證回台灣，我也肯定知道我有一天會回到台灣，

just as a tourist, if I get the chance

就像一個遊客，如果我有機會

I had no time to realize that I was leaving, because when we made the decision that it would be best for me to go back to Europe,

我沒有時間意識到自己要離開，因為當我們做出決定，最好是回到歐洲時，

I had to leave already 2 days later. I feel like there was almost no time to realize what was happening

我不得不在兩天后離開。 我覺得幾乎沒有時間意識到發生了什麼

It was also very shocking for me and my housemates, because we didn't really have time to fulfil some of the plans we had together

這對我和我的室友也非常震驚，因為我們真的沒有時間去完成我們共同製定的一些計劃

It felt kind of really bad to leave in such a hurry, but I'm still so grateful. My housemates still managed to surprise me

這麼急著離開感覺真不好，但是我還是很感激。 我的室友仍然設法使我感到驚訝

By telling me we would go to see the nightview somewhere, so we drove all the way up a mountain

告訴我我們去某個地方看夜景，所以我們一直開車去了一座山

and suddenly they popped out a cake with candles and everything, and my housemate even made a video with all of our funny memories together

突然之間，他們彈出一個蛋糕，上面放著蠟燭和其他所有東西，我的室友甚至還製作了一個錄像帶，把我們所有有趣的回憶一起

I'm just so grateful that I still had to have these last moments with them, and if you girls are watching this

我非常感激，我仍然不得不和他們一起度過最後的時刻，如果你們的女孩在看這個

I miss you a lot here and can't believe I'm not coming home there. Thank you so much for everything

我在這裡很想念你，簡直不敢相信我不回家。 非常感謝你的一切

Thank you so much for watching! I hope I didn't bore you too much with all of my personal talk

非常感謝您的收看！ 希望我的個人談話不會讓您感到厭煩

It's something I felt I really needed to say, because it's weird that I'm suddenly back in Europe

這是我真的需要說的話，因為我突然回到歐洲很奇怪

I don't even realize it myself. And once more

我本人甚至都沒有意識到。 再一次

I want to say a HUGE thank you from the bottom of my heart to Taiwan for giving me this amazing, unforgettable experience

我要對我深深地感謝台灣給我這種難忘的經歷

I would like to say:

我想說：

No goodbyes, but see you soon

再見，但是很快再見
