I've lived on my own in New York City for the past two years now.

過去兩年，我一直獨自生活在紐約。

And before moving here, let's just say I had much different expectations.

在搬來這裡之前，我對這裡的期望與現在大相徑庭。

to 不定詞

I expect in New York City to be just like in friends, having a big apartment, hang out at coffee shops and going on a lot of dates.

我希望在紐約也能像在朋友家一樣，有一個大公寓，在咖啡館閒逛，經常約會。

At least until I found a girl like Sarah Jessica Parker.

至少在我找到莎拉-傑西卡-帕克這樣的女孩之前是這樣。

I expected everyone to be rich, Wall street brokers, a city where everyone is famous there to be crimes just like in C si have snowball fights in Central Park and eat pizza every single day, pizza.

我以為每個人都會很有錢，都是華爾街的經紀人，在這個城市裡，每個人都很有名，都會有犯罪，就像在 C si 一樣，在中央公園打雪仗，每天都吃披薩，披薩。

And now that I lived here for a few years, I want to share the actual realities of in New York City.

現在，我已經在這裡生活了幾年，我想和大家分享一下紐約的實際情況。

First of all, for this being my biggest NYC apartment, as you can tell it is not so big.

首先，雖然這是我在紐約市最大的公寓，但如你所見，它並不算大。

The bedrooms in NYC really are like closets.

紐約市的臥室真的就像壁櫥一樣。

But why we went with this apartment in particular was because the living room is relatively large and also so is the kitchen even though I don't cook anything.

但我們之所以選擇這套公寓，特別是因為它的客廳比較大，廚房也比較大，儘管我什麼都不做。

And I was expecting to pay a lot of money in rent, but for paying over $15,000 a year in rent.

我本來以為要付很多房租，但一年的房租超過了 1.5 萬美元。

I was expecting the apartments to be a little bit nicer and this apartment is probably the first apartment I have that.

我本以為公寓會更漂亮一些，而這間公寓可能是我擁有的第一間公寓。

I feel like the price I'm paying is equal to the value.

我覺得我付出的代價與價值相當。

I'm getting out of it since it's in a very nice neighborhood.

因為它所在的社區環境很好，所以我打算把它賣掉。

It's the first apartment I have where the intercom actually works.

這是我住過的第一個對講機真的能用的公寓。

My roommate Bobby and I definitely take advantage of it.

我和室友鮑比肯定會利用這一點。

The next thing I wanted to talk about is the people since I expected everyone to be greedy and rude, but you really can sift through all that and find some awesome individuals.

接下來我想說的是這裡的人，因為我以為每個人都會很貪婪和粗魯，但你真的可以從中篩選出一些很棒的人。

I was hoping that was the case because when I moved here, I really wanted to make as many connections as possible and just build a network of people.

我希望是這樣，因為當我搬到這裡時，我真的想盡可能多地建立聯繫，建立一個人際網絡。

And after living here for these past few years, I'm very happy with this creative NYC crew that we've been forming.

在這裡生活了幾年之後，我對我們在紐約組建的這個創意團隊感到非常滿意。

And speaking of that, I'm actually going to meet up with the creator right now.

說到這裡，我現在就要去見創作者了。

So I just made it here to one of my favorite coffee shops in Lower Manhattan called Spread House Coffee.

我剛剛來到曼哈頓下城我最喜歡的一家咖啡店，名叫 Spread House Coffee。

And I am here with my friend Chris who was an artist and I'd say the epitome of a New York hustler.

我現在和我的朋友克里斯在一起，他是一位藝術家，也可以說是紐約金光黨的縮影。

Um So I work in film and television, uh creating intros, working on documentaries.

我在電影和電視界工作，製作介紹片和紀錄片。

Why I wanted to meet up with him today is because he's actually helping me rebrand my youtube channel and all of my personal branding someone I love having here in New York City.

我今天之所以想和他見面，是因為他實際上在幫我重新打造我的youtube頻道和我所有的個人品牌，我很喜歡在紐約有這樣一個人。

Just to bounce ideas off of and to create, I expected NYC to live up to its name and be the city that never sleeps.

我期望紐約市能名副其實，成為一座不夜城，我只是想借鏡紐約市的想法並進行創作。

And in reality, it is, it does not matter if it is the weekend or not, there is always some type of cool event going on and it really does last all night.

實際上，不管是不是週末，總會有一些很酷的活動在舉行，而且真的會持續整晚。

Now for the dating, I was expecting it to be as easy as it looks in sex in the city.

現在說到約會，我還以為會像《都市性愛》裡那樣簡單呢。

But in reality, I'm not alone in the park with a rose.

但實際上，公園裡並不只有我一個人拿著玫瑰。

It truly is a phenomenal city for dating.

這確實是一座非常適合約會的城市。

You can meet such awesome and interesting individuals.

在這裡，你可以結識到如此優秀和有趣的人。

It's just up to you to either get on a dating app or, uh, just meet them on the streets for yourself.

就看你是上交友軟件，還是自己上街去見他們了。

I can't believe you're standing here with a rose on a date.

我真不敢相信你會帶著一朵玫瑰站在這裡約會。

I remember before moving to New York hearing the Jay Z and Alicia Keys song, New York State of mind and hearing le key say New York City, the concrete jungle where dreams are made of.

我記得在搬到紐約之前，我曾聽過 Jay Z 和 Alicia Keys 的歌曲《New York State of mind》，聽到 le key 說紐約市是夢想成真的水泥森林。

And I grew up in a small town, Long Island where there wasn't much opportunity to achieve all the goals that I aspire to do.

我在長島的一個小鎮長大，在那裡沒有太多機會實現我渴望實現的所有目標。

But being here in New York, there's so much energy and like minded and motivated individuals that it makes you feel like you can do anything and that's gonna be it for today's video.

但在紐約，這裡有太多的能量和志同道合、積極進取的人，讓你覺得自己無所不能，今天的視頻就到這裡。
