過去簡單式

When we moved to Japan over 8 years ago, we knew we wanted our kids to grow up bilingual,

8年多前，當我們搬到日本時，我們知道我們希望我們的孩子能用雙語成長。

feeling as much at ease in English as they do in Japanese.

感到用英語和用日語一樣自如。

So we put them into the Japanese school system from the start.

所以我們從一開始就把他們放入日本的學校系統。

However, this year as elementary school graduation approached, so did a big choice.

然而，今年隨著小學畢業的臨近，一個重大的選擇也隨之而來。

Do we change over to an International or English-speaking school to prepare them for college in the States,

我們是否要轉到國際學校或英語學校，為他們在美國上大學做準備。

or let them continue in Japanese middle school?

還是讓他們繼續上日本的中學？

If you know about Japanese school culture, you know that it begins super laid back in kindergarten

如果你瞭解日本的學校文化，你就會知道，它從幼兒園開始就非常悠閒。

and then gets more and more intense as students move towards Junior High and High School.

然後隨著學生升入國中和高中而變得越來越緊張。

The goal of the system is to produce students who will become shyakaidin,

該系統的目標是培養出將成為shyakaidin的學生。

But how does that work for international families, who have feet in multiple worlds?

但對於腳踏多個世界的國際家庭來說，這又是如何做到的呢？

是以，女孩們，每個人都想知道...

你是否在做bukatsu（學校俱樂部）？

今年夏天，我們想去做一次大旅行

We won't tell you where just yet, you'll have to wait and see.

我們現在還不會告訴你在哪裡，你得等著看。

But if we did the big trip then we couldn't do bukatsu, so we let you guys choose, huh?

但是，如果我們做大旅行，那麼我們就不能做bukatsu，所以我們讓你們選擇，嗯？

So did you have an awesome time at the school sports day?

那麼，你在學校運動會上玩得很開心嗎？

我得到了四個獎盃。這意味著什麼？

And you did too Anna. I got four. She got four like papers.

你也是如此，安娜。我有四個。她得到了四份類似的文件。

哦，很好！她贏得的文件。她贏得的文件。

We've had this for a while and have done nothing with it.

我們有這個東西已經有一段時間了，但沒有用它做什麼。

It's the little Reutter kids. It's our turn to go to school, right?

是小魯特家的孩子。輪到我們去上學了，對嗎？

Here they come! Say bye Momma-chan, love you.

他們來了!跟媽媽說再見吧，愛你。

Alright. And wait I want to show everybody. Oh yes!

好的。等等，我想讓大家看看。哦，是的！

Ok, let's keep going. We don't want to be late for school.

好吧，讓我們繼續前進。我們不想在學校遲到。

Oh my goodness dude. What is going on there?

哦，我的天哪，老兄。那裡發生了什麼事？

How about you Joshua? Did you start undoukai practice? Yep.

你呢，約書亞？你開始了UNDOUKAI練習嗎？是的。

你做到了。嗯，這是為了跳舞。

Japanese schools have been great for our kids,

日本學校對我們的孩子來說是很好的。

and even though we all work hard to bridge the language and cultural barrier,

儘管我們都在努力工作，以消除語言和文化障礙。

it helps us be more connected to our local community.

它幫助我們與當地社區有更多聯繫。

But not all of it is perfect for International families,

但並不是所有的地方都適合國際家庭。

especially when your lifestyle requires more flexibility than is typically offered in the school system.

特別是當你的生活方式需要比學校系統通常提供的更多靈活性時。

We're living here in Japan, our kids go to school,

我們住在日本這裡，我們的孩子去上學。

Bukatsu is a big part of school life. It's not required,

Bukatsu是學校生活的一個重要部分。這不是必須的。

But, it fills up their after school time, it fills up their weekends,

但是，這填滿了他們的課餘時間，填滿了他們的週末。

而且這填補了他們所有的假期。

And that for us just didn't work well because,

而這對我們來說，效果並不好，因為。

As an international family, there's lot of trips we need to take, there's lot of things we need to do,

作為一個國際家庭，我們有很多需要去的地方，有很多需要做的事情。

So the girls decided not to do bukatsu because they want to go with us on these trips.

所以女孩們決定不做bukatsu，因為她們想和我們一起去參加這些旅行。

今天在學校過得怎麼樣，夥計們？

A bit of sorrow now for a lifetime of joy.

現在的一點悲傷是為了一生的快樂。

Oh Joshua, 'sa'. That was was your hiragana of the day?

哦，約書亞，"薩"。這就是你今天的平假名？

哦，孩子。就在那裡。它正在上升。

That looks fantastic. We finally did something.

這看起來太棒了。我們終於做了一些事情。

Now there is still space for the gold plaque.

It's like the clouds are blue. Then the bottom of the clouds is yellow.

這就像雲是藍色的。然後雲的底部是黃色的。

看到那邊了嗎？哦，你是對的。

是的。好吧，讓我們拍張照片。

We got some good pictures though. Ok, let's go.

不過我們拍到了一些好照片。好了，我們走吧。

Choosing the right learning environment for your children is an important decision,

為您的孩子選擇合適的學習環境是一個重要的決定。

and at this point we are glad we have our kids in the local Japanese schools.

而在這一點上，我們很高興我們的孩子在當地的日本學校上學。

But our older kids in Junior High are now at a stage where they may need to switch over to an English-based education

但我們國中的大孩子現在正處於一個階段，他們可能需要轉向以英語為基礎的教育。

in order to prepare them for their future, but the choice is not an easy one.

以便為他們的未來做好準備，但這個選擇並不容易。

Honestly we've been surprised by how good the local schools have been for them

說實話，我們對當地學校對他們的幫助之大感到驚訝。
