but at the start of the trip our son Joshua fell into boiling water, getting 1st and 2nd degree burns on his arm.

但在旅行開始時，我們的兒子約書亞掉進了沸水中，胳膊上出現了一級和二級燒傷。

We called an ambulance and got him treated at a local hospital.

我們叫了一輛救護車，讓他在當地醫院接受治療。

Through the whole process we learned first-hand some of the ins and outs of Japan's healthcare system,

在整個過程中，我們親身瞭解了日本醫療系統的一些內幕和外延。

and what we found surprised us.

而我們的發現讓我們感到驚訝。

[Life in Japan Theme Song]

[生活在日本的主題曲]。

So it was very interesting experiencing an ambulance here in Japan.

是以，在日本這裡體驗救護車是非常有趣的。

Here, when the ambulance arrives, they rush you in

在這裡，當救護車到達時，他們急忙把你送進去。

But then, you just sit there while they call around and find a hospital that will take you.

但是，你只是坐在那裡，而他們四處打電話，找到一家願意接收你的醫院。

Joshua's accident happened on a holiday, so hospitals are closed

約書亞的事故發生在節假日，所以醫院關閉了

And the ambulance attendants have to call around and find a hospital that will even accept a burn victim

救護車服務員必須四處打電話，找到一家甚至願意接受燒傷病人的醫院。

This is definitely not how we saw the day starting.

這絕對不是我們看到的一天的開始。

So the doctor we first saw, he was super super kind

是以，我們第一次見到的醫生，他是超級超級親切的

And he seemed to understand a lot about burns

而且他似乎對燒傷有很多瞭解

And he put some stuff on Joshua that instantly made him feel better.

他給約書亞塗了一些東西，立刻讓他感覺好了起來。

He wrote a letter to our local hospital explaining what had happened and for us to continue our care

他給我們當地的醫院寫了一封信，解釋了所發生的一切，並讓我們繼續接受治療。

Is this my brave guy?

這是我的勇敢的傢伙嗎？

Are we going to go get the bandage changed now?

我們現在要去換繃帶嗎？

Oh yeah! Then what comes later?

哦，是的！是的。那以後呢？

The Luigi Lego Mario... The Luigi Lego Mario, a special gift from Grandma and Grandpa, huh?

路易吉樂高馬里奧...Luigi Lego Mario，是爺爺奶奶送的特別禮物，呵呵。

So in Japan, you have national health insurance, so you pay according to what your salary is.

所以在日本，你有國家健康保險，所以你根據你的工資支付。

And for children, you also get this extra card, free care for them.

而對於兒童，你還可以得到這張額外的卡片，免費照顧他們。

So you pay for health insurance that covers 70% — I believe it's 70%

所以你支付的健康保險覆蓋了70%--我相信是70%。

And then the government subsidizes for children the other 30%.

然後政府為兒童補貼其他30%的費用。

So when we went to this hospital, Joshua's part was all free.

所以當我們去這家醫院時，約書亞的部分都是免費的。

Well, Joshua got his bandage changed, did it hurt Big Guy?

好了，約書亞換了繃帶，大個子疼嗎？

It kind of [hurt] It kind of hurt? Yeah.

有點兒[疼]有點兒疼？是的。

So when my mother heard of Joshua's accident, she bought him the Luigi Lego Mario set that he's been wanting,

是以，當我母親聽說約書亞的事故後，她給他買了他一直想要的路易吉樂高馬里奧套裝。

So today when he was getting his wound cleaned and it hurt so bad, we kept saying

所以今天他在清洗傷口的時候，疼得很厲害，我們一直說

You know what's coming? The Luigi Lego Mario set!

你知道什麼來了嗎？路易吉樂高馬里奧套裝!

So he's been looking forward to it and guess what? It came!

所以他一直在期待著它，你猜怎麼著？它來了!

Here it is! Let's go give it to Joshua.

就在這裡！我們去把它交給約書亞吧。

It's Luigi! It's Luigi- yeah!

是Luigi!是Luigi - 耶！

OK, here, I'll help you open it and we'll put it together, OK?

好，來，我幫你打開，我們把它放在一起，好嗎？

Oh my goodness, we built like a teeter-totter for him, huh?

哦，我的天啊，我們為他建了一個像蹺蹺板一樣的東西，嗯？

Ow! No! What did you do to him?!

嗷!不！你對他做了什麼？

Building a Lego Mario together was a great reward for being so brave!

一起建造一個樂高馬里奧是對我們如此勇敢的一個巨大獎勵！"。

You finished it. It looks awesome, Dude.

你完成了它。它看起來真棒，夥計。

[Luigi] Here we go!

[Luigi]我們來了！

Joshua wants to show you his new set.

約書亞想讓你看看他的新套裝。

Yeah! Knocked him off.

是的!把他打倒了。

Yea, you sure did.

是的，你肯定做到了。

Yes!

是的!

[Luigi] It's Luigi time.

[Luigi] 現在是Luigi時間。

Yeah, sorry Joshua you got...you needed to change your bandaid!

是的，對不起，約書亞你......你需要改變你的Ok繃!

The treatment you get after a burn can really make the difference between a good recovery or one that leaves scars,

燒傷後得到的治療真的可以使你在良好的恢復或留下疤痕之間做出區別。

and one thing in particular still had us a bit uneasy.

而有一件事特別讓我們感到有些不安。

Come to find out that they had no burn specialists on staff here at our local hospital.

後來發現，我們當地的醫院沒有燒傷專家。

They were nice, but they weren't specialists.

他們很好，但他們並不是專家。

So a friend of ours called around and researched for us

所以我們的一個朋友打電話給周圍的人，為我們進行了研究

And found a clinic close by who has a burn specialist

並在附近找到一家有燒傷專家的診所。

I wonder what Lego Mario Joshua's going to get now.

我想知道樂高馬里奧約書亞現在會得到什麼。

Yea, a special prize for him doing so well.

是的，為他做得這麼好而頒發特別獎。

So how did it go Joshua?

那麼它是如何進行的呢，約書亞？

Good. Did you do so well?

好。你做得很好嗎？

Yeah, I did not scream at this one.

是的，我沒有對這個人發出尖叫。

You didn't scream this time! So what do you get?

這一次你沒有尖叫!那麼你得到了什麼？

Lego Mario! Lego Mario when we get home, I'm so proud of you!

Lego Mario!當我們回家的時候，樂高馬里奧，我為你感到驕傲!

Dude, you're so brave!

夥計，你太勇敢了!

But it was very interesting because we discovered that here in Japan hospitals cannot advertise what they're good at.

但這非常有趣，因為我們發現，在日本，醫院不能宣傳他們擅長的東西。

So they can't say "we have a top notch burn speciality unit"

所以他們不能說 "我們有一個一流的燒傷專業部門"。

Or "we specialize in this."

或 "我們專門從事這個"。

So if you want to be able to find a place specific for what you need, you need to be able to read

是以，如果你想能夠找到一個具體的地方來滿足你的需要，你需要能夠閱讀

Which, it's all in Japanese

其中，都是日文的。

So for us as foreigners its very difficult for us to find specific doctors who treat certain things.

是以，對於我們這些外國人來說，要找到治療某些疾病的特定醫生非常困難。

So it sure has been a blessing to have good friends who took care of us and helped us find what we needed for Joshua.

是以，有好朋友照顧我們並幫助我們為約書亞找到我們需要的東西，這確實是一種祝福。

So tonight we're celebrating! Joshua got to choose the meal...

是以，今晚我們要慶祝一下!約書亞可以選擇餐點...

What did you choose? McDonalds!

你選擇了什麼？麥當勞!

Can I open it? What do we have here, Joshua?

我可以打開它嗎？我們這裡有什麼，約書亞？

Lego Mario!

Lego Mario!

He's so lucky, getting all this stuff.

他太幸運了，得到了所有這些東西。

I know. His luck's going to end.

我知道。他的運氣要結束了。

Ow wow, it's Mario's house! Can I see?

哦，哇，這是馬里奧的房子!我可以看看嗎？

That was the last special treat for being so brave. We're not going to do it until tomorrow.

那是最後一次對如此勇敢的人的特殊待遇。我們要到明天才做。

You have to keep being brave too, OK?

你也要繼續保持勇敢，好嗎？

Not only did Joshua have the help of Mario, Luigi and the new specialist,

約書亞不僅有馬里奧、路易吉和新專家的幫助。

but friends all over the world were praying for a quick recovery with no scarring.

但全世界的朋友都在祈禱他能迅速康復，不留疤痕。

These prayers made a big difference as Joshua was upbeat and positive.

這些祈禱產生了很大的不同，因為約書亞是樂觀和積極的。

What are you working on here, Dude?

你在這裡做什麼工作，督德？

Mario's house. Watch your fingers!

馬里奧的房子注意你的手指!

Awesome. Is mommy going to help you this time? yeah.

真棒。這次媽媽會幫你嗎？ 是的。

Whoa, Momma-chan. Whoa.

哇，媽媽-chan。哇哦。

I want to see it when it's done, OK?

完成後我想看看，好嗎？

3, 2, 1 Go!

3, 2, 1 開始!

So today, there's a typhoon heading this way.

所以今天，有一個颱風正朝這裡來。

So it looks very nice out right now, but fortunately this year we haven't had many typhoons.

所以現在外面看起來非常好，但幸運的是，今年我們沒有遇到很多臺風。

But one is coming.

但有一個人正在到來。

We're going to the hospital today.

Yea. That clinic one is so nice.

But the other doctor, I screamed in it, but this doctor I didn't.

And now today Ruth's driving and we show you what it's like.

The Tokyo area is the largest metropolitan area in the world, so it's no surprise that it's streets are tight and the ways are narrow.

This is the house that Ruth wants? It's huge!

這就是露絲想要的房子？好大啊！

It's huge!

它是巨大的!

You can tell when you've made it to the really tiny streets because they turn to one way

你可以知道你已經到了真正的小街道，因為它們變成了單行道。

And they are truly one way only.

而且它們確實是單向的。

But that's not yet, these streets are two-way still.

但這還不是，這些街道仍然是雙向的。

Two-way. Look at this! So small!

雙向的。看看這個！這麼小！

Momma's a driving pro here!

媽媽是這裡的駕駛專家!

I'm impressed. Here we go.
