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？

Well let's find out.

讓我們一探究竟。

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？

Do we have to pay?

我們需要付費嗎？

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.

好吧，這比我想象的要難。

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。

Do you guys want to see a magic trick?

你們想看魔術嗎？

Sure.

當然。

Yeah?

是嗎？

Yeah.

是啊

Do you guys want to see a trick?

你們想看把戲嗎？

Yes.

是的。

Pick any card you want.

隨便選一張

Perfect, show it to everyone.

太好了，給大家看看。

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?

你們有黑桃二，對吧？

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。

Sounds very weird, I know.

聽起來很奇怪，我知道。

But you'll understand in a sec.

但你馬上就會明白。

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

我要拿的牌是黑桃 8。

And I'm going to do the same thing.

我也要做同樣的事。

So I'm going to sign my signature.

所以我要簽名。

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。

And I'm going to bite onto it like that.

我就這樣咬著牙堅持著。

I want you to watch.

我要你看著。

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。

But what's in your mouth?

但你嘴裡有什麼呢？

This is seven.

這是七個。

Seven of hearts.

紅心七號

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

現在，在我的嘴裡，有你的標誌卡。

Stop, stop!

停下，停下

What's in your mouth is the question.

問題是，你嘴裡有什麼？

You're a liar!

你是個金光黨

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。

I've made $6, that's a 20 euro note.

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.

此時，我已經飢腸轆轆。

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。

Yeah, this'll do.

嗯，這個可以

Thank you very much.

非常感謝。

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

我有沒有可能只用自來水？

Thank you so much.

非常感謝。

Pretty good.

相當不錯。

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。

Operation get into a gym for free.

免費進入健身房的行動

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。

That was a fail.

這是一次失敗。

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。

Okay, here's what we're going to do.

好吧，我們這麼辦。

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。

Eventually, I came across this place.

最後，我來到了這個地方。

Sorry, mate.

對不起，夥計。

Where's the gym at?

健身房在哪裡？

It's on the fifth floor.

在五樓。

Perfect.

太完美了

Thank you.

謝謝。

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。

What are you saying?

你在說什麼？

What?

什麼？

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。

Hiya.

你好

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.

我們沒有健身部分的鑰匙。

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。

Thank you so much.

非常感謝。

Appreciate it.

謝謝。

That's how you get into the gym properly.

這樣才能正確地進入健身房。

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。

That's good.

很好

It's about 10pm right now.

現在大約是晚上 10 點。

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

過去幾個小時我一直在休息。

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。

Do you guys want to see some street magic?

你們想看街頭魔術嗎？

No, we're good.

不，我們很好。

Do you guys want to see some magic?

你們想看魔術嗎？

Nothing.

不，不用擔心。

I'm Joe, I'm a street magician.

我叫喬，是個街頭魔術師。

No worries.

不用擔心。

Yeah, literally nobody was interested, and honestly, I can't blame them.

是啊，根本沒人感興趣，說實話，這也不能怪他們。

So the next plan of action was working out the safest place to sleep.

是以，下一個行動計劃就是找出最安全的睡覺地點。

Now, in New York, all the buildings are locked up at night, so indoor sleeping isn't really possible.

現在，在紐約，所有的建築晚上都上了鎖，所以不可能在室內睡覺。

And that sucks, because it was about minus 4 degrees at the time.

這很糟糕，因為當時的氣溫約為零下 4 度。

Where do I sleep tonight?

我今晚睡哪兒？

My first thought would be Central Park, because it's got grass, it'll be comfy.

我首先想到的是中央公園，因為那裡有草坪，會很舒服。

The thing is, I don't know how safe the place is.

問題是，我不知道這個地方有多安全。

Excuse me, sir, do you know if Central Park, late at night, like 2, 3 a.m., is that safe?

對不起，先生，你知道中央公園 在深夜，比如凌晨兩三點，安全嗎？

It's not.

不是這樣的。

It's not safe?

不安全？

It is not safe, because in the end, you can't see anything, and you don't know who's in there.

這並不安全，因為到頭來，你什麼也看不見，也不知道誰在裡面。

Very stupidly, I didn't take the advice from the officer.

非常愚蠢的是，我沒有采納警官的建議。

It got to about 1 a.m., and I was just knackered.

大約到了凌晨 1 點，我簡直累壞了。

It is a ghost town right now.

現在這裡就像一座鬼城。

I've never seen New York like this.

我從未見過這樣的紐約。

This is my home for the next several hours.

接下來的幾個小時，這裡就是我的家。

It was good knowing you.

很高興認識你。

Be safe.

注意安全

I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?

明天見，好嗎？

It was now just me and this dark, gloomy place.

現在只有我和這個陰暗的地方。

I don't know how well you can see this.

我不知道你能看得多清楚。

I think I'm going to just chill here.

我想我還是在這裡冷靜一下吧。

I think this is the best I'm going to do.

我想這是我能做的最好的了。

There's no lights around here, so I don't think anyone will be able to see me.

這裡沒有燈，所以我覺得沒人能看見我。

So, I think I'm alone.

所以，我想我是孤獨的。

This was a bad spot.

這是一個糟糕的地方。

I tried to fall asleep, but rats were just running around everywhere.

我試圖入睡，但老鼠到處亂竄。

It was disgusting.

太噁心了

So, I found this bench a couple of minutes away, and tried to fall asleep on there.

於是，我在幾分鐘路程外找到了這張長椅，並試著在上面睡著。

It was just me and this dark, gloomy place.

只有我和這個黑暗陰森的地方。

天氣也越來越冷，我又回到了原點。

It's at 3 a.m.

現在是凌晨 3 點。

I'm getting tired.

我累了

I walked around New York for a bit, seeing if there was any possible indoor area where I could stay.

我在紐約轉了一圈，看看有沒有可能住在室內的地方。

I even tried to waffle to security guards to let me stay in the reception of their hotel.

我甚至試著向保安人員求情，讓我住在他們酒店的前臺。

Hi, mate.

嗨，夥計。

This is a very, very weird one.

這是一個非常非常奇怪的問題。

Essentially, my mate is staying in the hotel, and he's on a Tinder date.

基本上，我的朋友住在酒店裡，他在 Tinder 上約會。

I'm just going to be completely honest.

我就實話實說吧。

And the last thing I want to do is cockblock the guy.

我最不想做的事就是堵住那傢伙的嘴。

So, I don't want to go up to the room when he's with this girl.

所以，當他和這個女孩在一起時，我不想去房間。

He's just mad.

他只是瘋了。

He's making a good impression.

他給人的印象不錯。

Is there any way I can just chill in the corner there for like an hour or two while he waits?

有什麼辦法能讓我在角落裡等他一兩個小時嗎？

Not this early.

There's no chance.

沒有機會了

I will not make...

If I make a peep, you can kick me out.

我要是敢吭聲，你就把我踢出去。

Yeah.

是啊

No worries, man.

別擔心

Thank you anyway.

無論如何，謝謝你。

At this point, it wasn't looking good.

此時，情況不容樂觀。

Getting so tired.

太累了

Open to the public. 24 hours.

向公眾開放。24 小時開放。

This place might have to be where I try and sleep for the night.

這個地方可能是我今晚睡覺的地方。

It's not the worst.

這還不是最糟糕的。

You know, pretty cosy over here.

你知道，這裡很舒適。

I slept on and off for about an hour.

我斷斷續續睡了大約一個小時。

But just how cold it was, I couldn't take it anymore.

但天氣如此寒冷，我實在受不了了。

Hello.

你好

It is Joe from a couple weeks in the future.

這是幾周後的喬。

I kind of just want to explain what happened after I slept on that bench.

我只想解釋一下我睡在長椅上之後發生了什麼。

I felt horrible and I just couldn't hack it.

我感覺糟透了，我簡直無法忍受。

I didn't complete the challenge.

我想跟你實話實說。

I don't want to fake anything.
