This week was homecoming at Cornell, so come with me to see what I did during the weekend.

本週是康奈爾大學的返校日，跟我一起去看看我週末都做了些什麼吧。

I went to the library first to try and get things done before having some fun.

我先去了趟圖書館，想把事情做完再去玩。

If you don't know what homecoming is, it's a long tradition in America where the school, students, and alumni celebrate the school.

如果您不知道返校節是什麼，那它是美國的一個悠久傳統，學校、學生和校友都會在返校節上慶祝學校。

It usually lasts a week, with each day having a fun event on campus like games or events for people to gather together, and then on Friday or Saturday, there's a football game.

活動通常持續一週，每天都會在校園裡舉辦有趣的活動，比如遊戲或活動，讓大家聚在一起，然後在週五或週六，會有一場橄欖球比賽。

I'm personally not that into football, but if you have the chance to go to a game, it could be a really cool experience.

我個人並不太喜歡橄欖球，但如果你有機會去看一場比賽，那將是一次非常酷的體驗。

After a while, I went to the cafe to get a snack, and then went back home.

過了一會兒，我去咖啡館吃了點東西，然後就回家了。

So I got this in the mail today, and I have this.

今天我收到了這個郵件，我有這個。

It's just like the printer for the film, so you buy the film and then you can just print whatever picture you want.

它就像膠片的打印機，你買了膠片，就可以打印任何你想要的照片。

And yeah, so I'm gonna try it out and see if it works.

是的，所以我要試試看，看看是否有效。

I just realized there's literally film in here, and now it's all ruined.

我才意識到這裡面真的有膠片，現在全毀了。

Anyway, I just put the new film in the printer, and the protective film case automatically pops out, and you can start printing.

總之，我只需把新膠片放進打印機，保護膠片盒就會自動彈出，然後就可以開始打印了。

I like collecting Polaroids so I can have physical pictures to look at, rather than always looking at my phone, and this printer is actually pretty high quality.

我喜歡收集寶麗來照片，這樣我就可以有實物照片可以看，而不是總是看手機，而且這臺打印機的品質確實很高。

For dinner, my boyfriend and I had dumplings.

晚餐，我和男朋友吃了餃子。

Sometimes when I can't think of anything to cook, I'll just have dumplings because it's simple but it still tastes so good.

有時想不出做什麼菜時，我就吃餃子，因為雖然簡單，但味道還是很好。

I think my favorite is still pork and cabbage dumplings, but maybe I haven't tried enough different kinds.

我覺得我最喜歡的還是豬肉捲心菜餃子，但也許是我嘗試的種類還不夠多。

So let me know what you guys like, and maybe I'll try something new.

讓我知道你們喜歡什麼，也許我會嘗試一些新東西。

After eating, we went back to campus to watch fireworks on the football field.

吃完飯後，我們回到校園，觀看足球場上的焰火。

When we got there, it was so packed, and the risers started slowly filling up with people as we all waited for it to get dark enough for fireworks.

當我們到達那裡時，那裡擠滿了人，立柱上開始慢慢站滿了人，我們都在等待天黑到可以放煙花的時候。

There was a DJ playing, and people dancing, and the school's mascot even came out to dance too.

現場有 DJ 播放，人們翩翩起舞，學校的吉祥物甚至也出來跳舞。

Usually school mascots look kind of scary, but Cornell's is actually so cute.

一般來說，學校的吉祥物看起來都有點嚇人，但康奈爾大學的吉祥物其實非常可愛。

They even used a t-shirt launcher to throw free shirts into the crowd, so people were going crazy trying to get one.

他們甚至還用 T 恤發射器向人群中投擲免費的 T 恤，人們為了得到一件而瘋狂。

Then the fireworks started, and they also had lasers going, which I had never seen before.

然後焰火開始了，他們還放了脈衝光，這是我以前從未見過的。

Then the next day, there was a festival going on downtown.

第二天，市中心舉辦了一個節日。

So lots of people came, and there was so much food.

所以來了很多人，還有很多食物。

This kind of food is stuff that you can only get at festivals or carnivals, so it's kind of special and all the food tastes so good.

這種食物只有在節日或狂歡節上才能吃到，所以很特別，而且所有食物的味道都非常好。

But this festival is called the Apple Harvest Festival, so there's lots of apples and apple products like caramel apples, apple cider, and apple cider donuts.

但這個節日被稱為蘋果豐收節，所以有很多蘋果和蘋果產品，如焦糖蘋果、蘋果酒和蘋果酒甜甜圈。

The line for this was so long because they really do taste that good.

排隊的人很多，因為它們真的很好吃。

After waiting for about 30 minutes, I got the donuts, but I was so disappointed.

等了大約 30 分鐘後，我買到了甜甜圈，但非常失望。

Where I'm from in the Midwest, they're so soft and sweet, but these are just not good.

我的家鄉在中西部，那裡的洋芋又軟又甜，但這些洋芋一點也不好吃。

But I just kept walking and I found another thing I love, which is this funnel cake.

但我繼續往前走，發現了另一樣我喜歡的東西，那就是漏斗蛋糕。

My boyfriend kept saying it tastes like youtiao, and honestly he's kind of right.

我男朋友一直說它的味道像 Youtiao，老實說他說得有點對。

So imagine a very skinny and sweet youtiao covered in sugar, and that's kind of what this tastes like.

所以，想象一下，一個又瘦又甜的 Youtiao 上面裹滿了糖，這就是它的味道。

It's amazing.

太神奇了

There was so much other food there too, and they also had some games where you can win prizes like this dinosaur or dragon thing.

那裡還有很多其他食物，而且還有一些可以贏取獎品的遊戲，比如恐龍或龍之類的東西。

There was also a bunch of random stuff going on, and there were even some goats just hanging out.

此外，還有一堆亂七八糟的東西，甚至還有一些山羊在閒逛。

Anyway, that was my weekend, so thanks for spending it with me, and see you next time!

總之，這就是我的週末，謝謝你們陪我度過，下次再見！
