過去簡單式

Another fine morning, indeed, that was a close one high abroad in Japan.

又是一個美好的早晨，的確，那是日本海外高的一個親密的早晨。

情態助動詞 A2

Abroad, in Japan, I can't tell if that's a thinly veiled insult or a lucrative branding opportunity.

在國外，在日本，我不知道這是一種薄薄的侮辱，還是一個有利可圖的品牌機會。

Your videos aren't bad, but they need more special effects to level up.

你的視頻還不錯，但需要更多的特效來提升水準。

In my opinion, more special effects to level up.

在小編看來，更多的是特效來提升水準。

Well, I don't see any other vloggers in Japan featuring a highly elaborate and unnecessary CG plane crash.

好吧，我沒有看到日本的其他vlogger以一個高度複雜和不必要的CG飛機墜毀為特色。

Once you've had a CD plane crash, you don't need to put the effort in again, like ever.

一旦你的CD飛機墜毀，你就不需要再付出努力了，就像以往一樣。

So, no, take your special effects and get out.

所以，不，帶著你的特效滾出去。

Oh, and thank you for that branding idea.

是啊，你可能是到了一些東西。

Ask abroad the show, answering questions sent in by you, the viewer about Japan.

在節目中向國外提問，回答各位觀眾發來的關於日本的問題。

This week's topic is everyday life in Japan, so most of the questions in this video will be about that topic, with a few random once thrown in, including comment of the week on most annoying comment of the week.

本週的主題是日本的日常生活，所以這個視頻中的大部分問題都會涉及到這個話題，隨機拋出一些曾經的問題，包括本週最煩人的評論。

Before that, though, I realized there's been a noticeable black videos the past few weeks, and I think it's time to offer some kind of explanation.

不過在這之前，我意識到過去幾周有明顯的黑視頻，我想是時候提供一些解釋了。

However, to make things a bit more ambiguous and fun.

不過，為了讓事情變得更加曖昧和有趣。

I thought I would present three reasons as to why that would be on.

我想我會提出三個理由，為什麼會在。

After growing impatient waiting for Star Wars, the force awakens.

在對星戰的等待越來越不耐煩之後，力量覺醒了。

I cryogenically froze myself in order to jump ahead to the third week of December.

我把自己低溫冷凍起來，是為了提前跳到12月的第三週。

After growing impatient for Star Wars, the force awakens to release, so I cryogenically froze myself in order to jump ahead to the third week of December.

在對《星球大戰》越來越不耐煩之後，力量覺醒要上映了，於是我把自己低溫冷凍起來，以便提前到12月的第三週。

But after my attempts were met with failure, I sat and cried for four weeks instead, Why isn't it working?

但在我的嘗試遭到失敗後，我反而坐著哭了四個星期，為什麼沒有效果？

Regional number three in the run up to doing abroad in Japan full time when I moved to the beautiful city of Sendai in the second week of January, I've been sorting out my visa, planning your videos, buying the equipment I can't afford on testing out some groundbreaking chat up lines.

區域三號在日本全職做海外的運行，當我搬到美麗的城市仙台在一月的第二個星期，我一直在整理我的簽證，規劃你的視頻，購買設備，我買不起的測試一些突破性的哈拉線。

No, that's made out off boyfriend material.

不，那是用男朋友的材料做出來的。

Good luck guessing which one, but the answer will be revealed in the next few weeks unless you look in the questionnaire in the description box below.

運氣好猜到了哪一個，但答案會在接下來的幾周內揭曉，除非你在下面描述框中的問卷中查看。

Have you ever been asked to leave a place for being a Guijin?

你有沒有因為做貴人而被要求離開一個地方？

And I honestly think this is another myth about Japan that got out of hand online these bars where foreigners aren't allowed in.

而且說實話，我覺得這又是一個關於日本的神話，在網上失控的這些酒吧，外國人是不允許進入的。

I talked about quite a lot on the Internet, though I'm not denying they exist.

我在網上談了不少，雖然我不否認他們的存在。

In my three years of living in Japan, I think I've seen a bar saying No foreigners, maybe once, and that was in a really touristy area.

我在日本生活的三年裡，我想我見過一個酒吧寫著 "禁止外國人進入"，也許有一次，那是在一個非常旅遊的地區。

The fact that I rarely see them should be reassuring, considering I visit maybe 10,000 bars or restaurants every month.

考慮到我每個月大概要去一萬家酒吧或餐館，我很少看到他們的事實應該是令人放心的。

If it does happen, it will likely be in a small bar where the owner probably can't speak English on, gets anxious or uncomfortable being surrounded by customers can't communicate with rather than some kind of racist crusade against all foreigners still has happened to you.

如果它確實發生了，它很可能是在一個小酒吧，老闆可能不會說英語上，得到焦慮或不舒服被包圍的客戶無法溝通，而不是某種種族主義討伐所有外國人仍然發生在你身上。

Let us know in the comments section below, I'll be king to here of any experiences, but I haven't come across it.

在下面的評論區告訴我們，有什麼經驗我就王在這裡，但我沒有遇到過。

It's not something you should really worry about.

這不是你應該真正擔心的事情。

Have you got unaccustomed to the squat toilets?

你是不是對蹲式廁所不習慣了？

No, but I don't know many foreigners who have admittedly, after three years, I'm still not even sure how to really use the damn thing.

沒有，但我不知道有多少外國人承認，三年後，我甚至還不知道如何真正使用這該死的東西。

It's ridiculous, given the contrast to the other half of Japanese toilets, which look like they've been sent from the future to make toilets fun.

這很可笑，因為和日本另一半的廁所形成了鮮明的對比，它們像是從未來送來的，讓廁所變得有趣起來。

There are few things worse than desperately needing the toilet, rushing into the nearest one of discovering it's your only option.

很少有比急切地需要廁所更糟糕的事情，衝進最近的一個發現這是你唯一的選擇。

You know, honestly, I would sooner listen to a pitbull song, and he's a squat toilet.

你知道，說實話，我很快就會聽一首鬥牛的歌，他是一個蹲廁。

How difficult was it to feel integrated into Japanese society?

我確實覺得自己像個被美化的遊客。

As a teacher, I couldn't speak any Japanese, so there was a constant language barrier in my way.

作為一名教師，我不會說日語，所以一直有語言障礙擋在我面前。

More importantly, I spent most of my time with other foreign English teachers, so I didn't really socialize with my local community in my area.

更重要的是，我的大部分時間都是和其他外教英語老師一起度過的，所以我並沒有真正和我所在地區的當地社區進行交流。

I also made a conscious decision that I was going to lock myself away for most of the first year on study Japanese in order to set myself up for the next few years.

我也有意識地決定，第一年的大部分時間我都要把自己關在家裡學習日語，以便為今後幾年的學習打好基礎。

It sounds like a stupid thing to do, but in hindsight I don't really have any regrets, because after that first year, things really did get amazing.

這聽起來像是一件愚蠢的事情，但事後看來，我並不後悔，因為在第一年之後，事情真的變得很奇妙。

In my second year, I stopped studying Japanese as much and started using it.

二年級的時候，我不再那麼學習日語，開始使用日語。

Maura made friends in the local community.

I started volunteering at the local international center and running com English conversation classes, so I just kept saying yes to things.

我開始在當地的國際中心做義工，開com英語會話班，所以我就一直在答應事情。

By the third year, I had befriended loads of local businessmen in my area and even be boxed in front of a local politicians.

到了第三年，我已經在我的地區結識了很多當地的商人，甚至在當地的政客面前被打成重傷。

The most important component to feeling integrated into Japanese society is relationships.

融入日本社會最重要的是人際關係。

Just having good relationships with colleagues with people in your local area and just getting involved with more and more things, meeting more and more people along the way.

只要和同事與當地的人有良好的關係，就可以參與到更多的事情中去，在路上認識越來越多的人。

What's the most awkward situation you've encountered whilst living in Japan?

你在日本生活時遇到的最尷尬的情況是什麼？

It was probably during my time as an English teacher.

大概是在我當英語老師的時候。

I was running an English lesson with the Japanese teacher of English one time on the subject of the lesson was occupations and jobs, so he wanted the students to talk about what their dream job was and what they wanted to become on.

有一次，我和日本的英語老師一起上英語課，課程的主題是職業和工作，所以他要學生們談談自己的夢想工作是什麼，想成為什麼上。

My colleague asked if I could talk a bit about what I wanted to be when I was growing up, what my dream would always being on, I said, Well, growing up was a child.

同事問我能不能談一談我長大後想做什麼，我的夢想會一直在什麼地方，我說，嗯，長大後是個孩子。

I loved that sense of adventure and discovery on the promise of treasure on.

我喜歡那種冒險和發現的感覺，對寶藏的承諾上。

She looked at me suddenly and said in a serious voice.

她突然看著我，語重心長地說。

But Chris Sensor, why would you be a pirate?

但克里斯-索恩，你為什麼要做海盜？

Why would you want to kill and rape people?

Uhh on I just stood there in front of the class in awkward silence, not quite knowing what to say.

呃上我就站在班級前面尷尬的沉默著，不知道該說什麼。

Thankfully, I also remembered I wanted to be a pilot, so I use that instead.

幸好，我還記得我想當飛行員，所以我用這個來代替。

I mean, pirates killing and raping people.

我的意思是，海盜殺人和強姦人。

I don't know what version of Muppets Treasure Island.

我不知道布偶金銀島什麼版本。

If you were to put on a pair of shades, you would look exactly like Doctor Octopus from Spider Man to laugh out loud exactly like Doctor Octopus, Right?

如果你戴上一副墨鏡，就會像《蜘蛛俠》中的章魚博士一樣，笑出聲來，跟章魚博士一模一樣，對吧？

Are there certain things that make everyday life difficult in Japan?

在日本，是否有某些事情讓日常生活變得困難？

Language barrier aside, as it's too obvious, there is another cultural aspect that can complicate things somewhat on that is ambiguity.

撇開語言障礙不談，因為這太明顯了，還有一個文化方面的問題，會讓事情變得有些複雜，那就是歧義。

Or I might, as it's known, in Japanese in Japan.

或者說，我可能，在日本的日語裡是這樣說的。

It's very polite to be indirect and ambiguous on your opinion.

間接、含糊其辭地發表自己的看法，是非常有禮貌的。

On often this community could be difficult to work out if someone means yes or no or what they actually think.

往往這個社會可能很難弄清楚某人的意思是 "是 "還是 "不是"，或者他們的實際想法。

For example, as an English teacher, if I made a lesson plan and then took it to my colleague toe, have them check it over.

比如，作為一名英語老師，如果我做了一份教案，然後拿給同事趾，讓他們檢查一遍。

If they disagree with it, they might say, Hmm, mm, it's difficult.

如果他們不同意，可能會說，嗯，mm，很難。

Whereas in the UK, we would say This is awful.

而在英國，我們會說這太可怕了。

So the Japanese way of doing it is certainly more polite, but it can be really frustrating when you just want to clear yes or no answer.

所以日本人的做法當然是比較禮貌的，但當你只想明確是或不是的答案時，真的會很沮喪。

Instead, for 10 minutes, you get mm mm difficult.

相反，10分鐘，你會得到mmmm的困難。

I've even been to a hotel where the staff would too polite, too ambiguous to even tell me the hotel was full.

我甚至去過一家酒店，工作人員會太客氣，太曖昧，甚至不告訴我酒店已經滿員。

Instead, they sort off cocked their head like this and looked at the screen going E oh for 10 minutes, waiting for me to acknowledge that the hotel was full and say, Oh, okay, sorry.

而他們卻有點像這樣歪著頭，看著螢幕要E哦10分鐘，等我承認酒店已經滿了，然後說，哦，好的，對不起。

Instead of giving a clear directive, a colleague may indirectly hint at something, and you have to try and work out if it's an off the cuff remark or they're telling you to do something.

同事可能會間接地暗示一些事情，而不是給出一個明確的指令，你必須努力找出這是一個隨口說說，還是他們在告訴你做什麼。

For example, outside of summer, if I had my top button undone at work, colleagues would come over and say, Well, you must be cold and I had to work out If that was just a general remark or if they were actually telling me, Do you button up?

比如在夏天之外，如果我上班時上衣的扣子沒扣好，同事們就會過來說，嗯，你一定很冷，我得鍛鍊一下 如果這只是一句泛泛之言，還是他們真的在告訴我，你釦子扣好了嗎？

But it's a huge part the culture on did, I must admit, Although it can be frustrating for a blunt, direct, straight talking foreigner to deal with, it's still quite an interesting on fun part of the cultural experience.

但是，我必須承認，這是一個巨大的部分文化上做的，雖然它可以是一個直率的，直接的，直言不諱的外國人處理，它仍然是相當有趣的文化經驗的樂趣的一部分。

Once you've got your head around it is Japan seriously, as far forward and technology as the country is made out to bay?

一旦你想明白了，就是日本認真的，像國家做的那麼先進，科技那麼灣？
