It's given certain people the right to be even ruder about migration.

Any thoughts of ever moving to Europe has been made that much more difficult.

任何移居歐洲的想法都變得更加困難。

That was a small idea in your mind, do you think?

It's often harboured ideas to move to Italy but, you know, it's made that much more difficult.

我經常有搬到意大利的想法，但是，你知道，這樣做難度更大。

Immigration was really weaponised at that time and it continued to be a real dog whistle weapon.

移民問題在當時被真正地武器化了，並繼續成為真正的 "狗哨 "武器。

We don't really feel part of Europe anymore.

我們不再覺得自己是歐洲的一部分了。

We feel as though we're a little bit isolated from it and you feel that way when you travel.

我們感覺好像有點與世隔絕，旅行時你會有這種感覺。

From my own experience I think you have to go through more hoops to get outside of England.

根據我的親身經歷，我認為要走出英國，你必須經歷更多的艱難險阻。

Yeah, sadly I don't think it's had too much of a benefit for us in general.

是的，遺憾的是，我不認為這對我們有什麼好處。

You're finding food prices are more expensive if you have foods from different countries, especially from Europe.

你會發現，來自不同國家，尤其是歐洲國家的食品價格會更貴。

We enjoy a lot of different foods from around the world and you see that in the cuisine that we have.

我們喜歡世界各地的各種美食，這一點從我們的菜餚中就可以看出來。

No matter what you buy anymore, everything is just... and I can't see it going down.

無論你買什麼，一切都只是......我看不到它下降。

Things just randomly happen, so everything will go on as normal and then suddenly they'll be like, oh, this is out of supply for something.

事情就是這樣隨機發生的，所以一切都會照常進行，然後他們會突然發現，哦，這東西已經斷貨了。

Maybe cost of food has increased, but whether that's due to other factors, I don't know.

也許食品成本增加了，但這是否是其他因素造成的，我就不知道了。

I mean, maybe prices of food, but then is it because of Brexit? I'm not so sure.

我的意思是，也許是食品價格，但那是因為英國脫歐嗎？我不太確定。

Some of my friends I think have been affected by that.

我想我的一些朋友也受到了影響。

We never saw gaps in shelves in supermarkets like we do now.

我們從未像現在這樣在超市的貨架上看到空隙。

Like produce that comes from the European Union.

I've also noticed that recently we've had a lot of things that we couldn't get, like there was an egg shortage, but is that Brexit? Is that just UK politics?

我還注意到，最近我們有很多東西買不到，比如雞蛋短缺，但這是英國脫歐嗎？這僅僅是英國政治的原因嗎？

I actually asked that question in one of the supermarkets and they said it's nothing to do with Brexit.

實際上，我在一家超市問過這個問題，他們說這與英國脫歐無關。

It's British farming. That's what they said.

這是英國的農業。他們就是這麼說的。

I mean, there's been a cost of living increase, but I don't think that's because of leaving EU, but that's all over the world, is it?

我的意思是，生活成本增加了，但我不認為這是因為脫離歐盟，但這在全世界都一樣，不是嗎？

We looked at going to Greece, Italy, France.

我們考慮過去希臘、意大利和法國。

But then you see the red tape and the taxes that you have to pay and you can't do it.

但後來看到繁文縟節和必須繳納的稅款，你就做不到了。

Was that a desire of yours, maybe to work abroad?

You know, you need to get a visa to go and work outside of it.

你知道，你需要獲得簽證才能去外面工作。

我們在貿易方面非常依賴歐洲。

I'm part of a technology company and even that is creating, even though we have technology cloud environments, we are now developing more what we call sovereign clouds.

我是一家技術公司的員工，儘管我們有技術雲環境，但我們現在正在開發更多所謂的主權雲。

So we have to ensure that each country or each region has their own cloud because of perhaps not trusting data leaving one country to another.

是以，我們必須確保每個國家或每個地區都有自己的雲，因為也許不信任數據從一個國家流向另一個國家。

So I think, for me, Brexit has kind of made the whole of Europe a bit uneasy about sharing data more holistically across the world.

是以我認為，對我來說，英國脫歐讓整個歐洲對在全球範圍內更全面地共享數據感到有些不安。

My sister, mum's daughter, lives in the Canaries, in Spain, in the Canaries.

我姐姐，也就是媽媽的女兒，住在西班牙的加那利群島。

是以，這對我們有一定的影響。

Apart from that, though, as I was mentioning to you earlier,

除此之外，正如我之前跟你提到的、

I don't really notice it very much in my day-to-day life.

我在日常生活中並沒有注意到這一點。

With a UK dog passport, I think it's very difficult to go abroad now.

It's expensive and it takes a lot of energy.

I think it takes a lot of time to get all the paperwork through as well.

我認為辦理所有手續也需要很多時間。

這不僅僅是 "哦，我們會解決的"。

It's annoying. It's expensive. I think it's time-consuming.

很煩人。價格昂貴。我覺得很費時間。

What was it that people were mistold on which hasn't come to truth yet?

I think maybe that, you know, if we'd have all this money for the NHS without immigration and that sort of thing, and I work in health care, and there's definitely not been a massive pile of money.

我想，如果沒有移民和諸如此類的事情，我們的國家醫療服務體系也許會有這麼多錢，而我在醫療保健領域工作，肯定不會有這麼多錢。
