This is New York, a stunning city but a place at the same time which has a lot of crime.

這就是紐約，一個令人驚歎的城市，但同時也是一個犯罪頻發的地方。

過去簡單式

The other day I spontaneously booked tickets from my quiet little village to this big city.

有一天，我自發地訂了從寧靜的小村莊到這座大城市的機票。

For the most part it was just a normal holiday.

在大多數情況下，這只是一個普通的假期。

I was shooting guns, eating the most unhealthy food in the world, generally just having a great time.

我打槍、吃世界上最不健康的食物，總之就是玩得很開心。

But for 24 hours of this trip, that was not the case.

但在這次旅行的 24 小時裡，情況並非如此。

You see I wanted to set myself a challenge, no money, no internet access and nowhere to stay for the night.

我想給自己一個挑戰，沒有錢，不能上網，也沒有地方過夜。

Could I survive in this big foreign to me city without these luxuries?

沒有這些奢侈品，我能在這個陌生的大城市生存下去嗎？

It's just hit 1pm, from this moment on I have no money, nowhere to stay tonight, let's see what happens.

現在剛到下午 1 點，從這一刻開始，我就沒錢了，今晚也沒地方住，讓我們拭目以待吧。

Okay so the first plan of action, I needed to make some money.

好了，第一個行動計劃，我需要賺點錢。

You see New York is the most expensive city in the world and without this I'm pretty screwed.

你看，紐約是世界上最昂貴的城市，沒有這個我就完蛋了。

But the big problem is, how the hell do I make money here?

但最大的問題是，我到底該如何在這裡賺錢？

Busking, now this is massive in New York, every step you take in this city there will be someone trying to make money off you.

在紐約，這種現象非常普遍，你在這座城市裡每走一步，都會有人試圖從你身上賺錢。

So I needed a way to stand out from the rest.

是以，我需要一種方法讓自己與眾不同。

Magic, now I've been doing this since I was about 12 years old.

魔術，我從 12 歲起就開始做這個了。

So the plan is, go up to anyone I see in Times Square, ask to show them a trick and if I fool them, they give me a tip.

所以我的計劃是，在時代廣場隨便找個人，要求給他們表演一個魔術，如果我騙過了他們，他們就給我小費。

Alright let's go make some money, let's go make some money, do you guys want to see a magic trick?

好了，我們去賺錢吧，我們去賺錢吧，你們想看魔術嗎？

If I trick you at the end there's tips but, I'm good bro, you have a good one anyway.

如果我最後騙了你，會有提示的，但我很好，兄弟，無論如何你都有一個好的。

Alright this was going to be harder than I thought.

After an absolute ton of fails, eventually some people said yes.

在經歷了無數次失敗後，最終還是有人答應了。

So we've got the two of spades, look, I want you to sign this card to make it completely unique.

所以我們有黑桃2，聽著，我要你在這張牌上簽名，讓它完全獨一無二。

So you guys have got the two of spades, right?

So here's what I'm going to do with your two of spades, I'm going to fold it up into four like that, right?

我現在要把黑桃 2 折成四份，對嗎？

And I want you to take your mouth, it sounds weird, I want you to bite on the card, keep it there, keep it there.

我要你用嘴咬住卡片，聽起來很奇怪，我要你咬住卡片，保持住，保持住。

I'm going to take the card of the eight of spades.

So I'm going to take the eight of spades, right, and I'm going to fold my card up into four pieces like that.

所以我要拿一張黑桃 8，對吧 然後把我的牌像這樣折成四張。

Now, in my mouth, we have your sign to a spade.

現在，在我的口中，你的標誌已經變成了鏟子。

Now, in my mouth, we have your sign card.

現在，在我的嘴裡，有你的標誌卡。

Mate, you're an absolute legend, thank you so much.

夥計，你絕對是個傳奇，非常感謝。

And just like that, after a couple of tricks, I started raking in some money.

就這樣，在玩了幾個小把戲之後，我開始賺到了一些錢。

It's about 4pm, so I've been at this for about three hours.

現在是下午 4 點左右，所以我已經做了三個小時了。

我賺了 6 美元，那是一張 20 歐元的紙幣。

After exchanging the euros, I had earned myself a total of $27.11, which seems like a fair amount of money.

兌換完歐元后，我總共賺到了 27.11 美元，這筆錢看起來還不錯。

But for New York, that gets you absolutely jack ****.

但對於紐約來說，這絕對是個千斤頂 ****。

Now, at this point, I was absolutely starving.

So I needed to find the cheapest, but most calorie-dense food I could find.

是以，我需要找到最便宜但熱量最高的食物。

Is there any chance I could just get some tap water?

After absolutely devouring that pizza, I wanted to challenge myself even more.

吃完披薩後，我想挑戰一下自己。

I'm in the mood to work out now, so I want to try and sneak into a gym.

我現在很想鍛鍊，所以想溜進健身房。

The key to this is simply just walk in with confidence, pretend you're meant to be there, and no one will ask questions.

關鍵在於，只要自信地走進去，假裝你就是那裡的主人，就不會有人問問題了。

Okay, maybe my genius levels weren't as good as I thought they were.

好吧，也許我的天才水準沒有我想象的那麼好。

But nevertheless, I kept trying and kept failing, so I changed up my plan.

但儘管如此，我還是不斷嘗試，不斷失敗，於是我改變了計劃。

We're going to find a hotel, see if it has a spa.

我們去找家酒店，看看有沒有水療中心。

If it does, I'll try and waffle my way into there in the hopes I can get a workout in for free tonight.

如果是這樣，我就想辦法混進去，希望今晚能免費鍛鍊一下。

Obviously, I don't have a room key, so what I did was I followed someone into the lift who did have one, and boom, just like that, I'm on the fifth floor.

很顯然，我沒有房間鑰匙，所以我跟著一個有鑰匙的人進了電梯，然後就這樣，我到了五樓。

You need a key card to actually get into the gym.

你需要一張鑰匙卡才能真正進入健身房。

So not only do you need one for the lift, you need one for the gym as well.

是以，您不僅需要一個用於電梯，還需要一個用於健身房。

I'm going to go ask those cleaners if they can let us into the fitness centre.

我去問問那些清潔工，能不能讓我們進健身中心。

Our mates are in the fitness centre part of the Hilton thing.

我們的夥伴在希爾頓酒店的健身中心。

We don't have the key to the fitness part.

Is there any way you can get us into the centre there?

你有辦法讓我們進入那裡的中心嗎？

I don't know if my key can open the door.

我不知道我的鑰匙能不能開門。

That's how you get into the gym properly.

After the workout, I was starving again, so I got a $5 meal from Wendy's.

鍛鍊結束後，我又餓了，於是在溫迪餐廳吃了一頓 5 美元的飯。

I don't know if that's just bloody amazing, or it's just the fact that I'm starving.

我不知道這到底是太神奇了，還是因為我餓壞了。

I've been chilling out for the past couple of hours.

It's getting really cold outside, and the last thing I want to do tonight is sleep on the streets.

外面越來越冷了，我今晚最不想做的事就是露宿街頭。

The lowest priced hostel in New York is about $60.

紐約價格最低的旅館約為 60 美元。

I've got 19 to my name, so I'm going to go out and try and busk a bit more.

我的名字裡已經有 19 個字了，所以我打算出去再多賣點東西。
