You can use this video to train your listening and comprehension as I speak.

您可以用這段視頻來訓練您的聽力和理解能力，就像我說話一樣。

So today, I'm going to talk to you about living abroad.

所以，今天我要和大家談談國外生活。

I was an expat for a few years, so I can offer a pretty good amount of insight into this topic.

我當過幾年外籍人士，是以對這個問題有相當深入的瞭解。

Living abroad opens up a whole world of new experiences, ideas, and cultures that you never would have dreamed of if you hadn't moved abroad.

國外生活為您開啟了一個全新的世界，讓您獲得新的體驗、新的想法和新的文化，如果您沒有移居國外，這些都是您做夢也想不到的。

The second you step off the plane and realize that you're not just on vacation, you're in your new home, it can hit you like a truck.

下飛機的那一刻，當你意識到自己不僅僅是在度假，而是來到了自己的新家時，這種感覺就會像卡車一樣襲來。

Regardless of how much planning you've done, and regardless of how much desire you have to live in that new country, the reality of it all will strike fear in you.

無論你做了多少規劃，無論你有多渴望在那個新國家生活，現實都會讓你感到恐懼。

但這種恐懼其實是一種好的恐懼。

You've probably heard the expression to have butterflies in your stomach.

你可能聽說過 "胃裡有蝴蝶 "這個說法。

Well, the experience of arriving in your new country and knowing that you're going to set up your life there will definitely give you a serious case of the butterflies.

到達新的國家，知道自己將在那裡開始新的生活，這樣的經歷肯定會讓你 "蝴蝶效應 "嚴重。

But like I said, I consider that a positive.

但正如我所說，我認為這是一個積極因素。

Another good thing is that hopefully you'll get to learn a new language.

另一個好處是，希望您能學習一門新語言。

Ideally, you'd already have a decent level in the country's language, and so being in that country and surrounded by native speakers would be a great way to improve.

理想的情況是，您已經具備了一定的語言水準，是以在該國與母語人士交流將是提高語言水準的最佳途徑。

But as you can probably imagine, not everyone gets the same pleasure out of speaking a foreign language as I do or other language learners do.

但是，正如你所能想象的那樣，並不是每個人都能像我或其他語言學習者那樣，從說外語中獲得同樣的樂趣。

So this might be a negative for some people, and I personally know people that have been living in a foreign country for four, five, six years, and they can barely put a sentence together.

我認識一些人，他們在外國生活了四、五、六年，卻連一句話都說不清楚。

So my advice to those moving abroad would be to study the language as much as possible before you go.

是以，我對出國人員的建議是，在出國前儘可能多地學習語言。

Because if you arrive in your new country without knowing any of the language, you're not just going to pick it up.

因為如果你到了新的國家卻不懂任何語言，你就不可能很快學會。

All the talking you hear around you is just going to be like static noise in the background.

你周圍聽到的所有說話聲都會像背景中的靜電噪音一樣。

It won't make any sense to you, and it won't help you learn.

這對你沒有任何意義，也無助於你的學習。

You need to study and get to the level where you can actually understand the message of what people are saying, and then you can go out into the real world and pick it up.

你需要學習，達到能夠真正理解人們所說的資訊的水準，然後你就可以到現實世界中去學習。

And then you can have fun speaking that language in your new country.

然後，你就可以在新的國家裡盡情地講這門語言了。

All right, so the biggest negative about living abroad is obviously being far away from your loved ones.

好吧，在國外生活最大的不利因素顯然是遠離親人。

It's not easy to live far from your family and friends.

遠離家人和朋友的生活並不容易。

It's one thing to move across the country, but moving to a completely different country is a whole other level of difficulty, mainly because it's harder to visit each other.

跨國搬家是一回事，但搬到一個完全不同的國家就完全是另一種困難了，主要是因為彼此更難見面。

I know it's not the same as being with them in person, but it does help to video chat or even just call your family.

我知道這和親自與他們在一起是不一樣的，但視頻哈拉甚至只是給家人打電話確實很有幫助。

When you think about it, it's not that different than talking to them face-to-face, except for the fact that you can't touch them.

仔細想想，這和麵對面交談並沒有什麼不同，只是你不能觸摸他們。

So yeah, that's the hardest part for sure.

所以是的，這肯定是最難的部分。

And the other negative thing is that there are always going to be certain things about the new country or culture that you don't like.

另一個不利因素是，新國家或新文化總會有一些你不喜歡的東西。

In my experience, I was able to adapt to my new country pretty well, but there were some things that I just couldn't get used to.

根據我的經驗，我能夠很好地適應我的新國家，但有些事情我就是無法習慣。

Things like the low-quality infrastructure, the lack of punctuality, and some other minor things.

比如低質量的基礎設施、不守時以及其他一些小事。

You should definitely try to adapt as much as possible in your new country, but there will be some things that are just too different or that are contrary to your personality.

您一定要儘可能地適應新國家的生活，但也會有一些事情與您的性格相去甚遠或背道而馳。

Leave a comment and let me know if you've ever lived abroad before or if you'd like to live abroad.
