and on these hot summer day, there's nothing quite as refreshing as going for a swim in a nice, cool mountain river.

在這些炎熱的夏日裡，沒有什麼比在一條漂亮、涼爽的山間河流中游泳更令人心曠神怡了。

We like to come out here to the Nakatsu River for some fun with family and friends.

Cold. Cold and fun!

Yes, there's lot of fun to be had in the summer, but sometimes the fun you find is the form of an adventure.

是的，夏天有很多樂趣，但有時你找到的樂趣是冒險的形式。

Take driving in Japan, for example.

以在日本開車為例。

You never know what kind of situation you may find yourself in, or if you'll get your car out unscratched.

你永遠不知道你會遇到什麼樣的情況，也不知道你是否能把你的車毫髮無損地弄出來。

In Japan, of course they have main roads,

But as soon as you get off the main roads, you can get into some really interesting situations fast.

Let me show you.

讓我給你看看。

Is that a tree in the road?!

那是路上的一棵樹嗎？

Let's just squeeze on by here.

我們就在這裡擠一擠吧。

But what happens when you meet another vehicle on these tight streets only wide enough for one car?

但是，當你在這些只夠一輛車寬的狹窄街道上遇到另一輛車時，會發生什麼？

Well, something's gotta give, and usually the vehicle with the best option to get off the road will take it,

好吧，總得有個說法，而通常有最佳選擇的車輛會選擇離開道路。

in this case the other truck, as I had no where to go but back up a steep hill.

在這種情況下，另一輛卡車，因為我沒有地方可去，只能回到一個陡峭的山上。

Did you see what I mean? Holy cow!

你看到我的意思了嗎？我的天哪!

These streets are so tight

這些街道是如此緊張

You have trees in the middle of them, you have trucks coming up,

你在它們中間有樹，你有卡車上來了。

One way and hills and corners and drop offs on the other side

一邊是山丘和轉角，另一邊是落差。

You have to back up, you have to squeeze into little angles.

你必須後退，你必須擠進小角度。

So if you're driving in Japan, you've gotta be ready for this kind of stuff.

是以，如果你在日本開車，你必須準備好應對這種事情。
