to 不定詞

I also have some questions from Yasu today that I want to answer.

今天，我還想回答 Yasu 提出的一些問題。

過去簡單式

So the first one is, if you had a billion dollars, what would you do with it?

第一個問題是，如果你有十億美元，你會怎麼花？

動名詞

And I have like the safe answer, which is like investing, maybe like buying a house.

我有一個安全的答案，那就是投資，也許就像買房子一樣。

But that's a little boring, so I feel like if I had no responsibilities and I had a billion dollars to just spend, I would definitely go traveling.

但這有點無聊，所以我覺得如果我沒有責任，有十億美元可以隨便花，我肯定會去旅行。

I love like treating my friends, buying stuff for them, so I would book us all a trip maybe to like Mexico or Europe or somewhere in Asia and, you know, cover all their flights, all their hotels, so that we could all just like go have a good time.

我喜歡犒勞我的朋友，給他們買東西，所以我會給大家訂一次旅行，也許是去墨西哥、歐洲或亞洲的某個地方，你知道，包下他們所有的機票和酒店，這樣我們就可以一起去享受美好時光了。

A lot of them are big partiers, I'm not going to lie.

不瞞你說，他們很多人都是派對狂。

So maybe going to the clubs, trying new food like around the world.

是以，我可能會去俱樂部，嘗試世界各地的新食物。

I don't know how long that you could go just traveling the world with your friends on a billion dollars, but I feel like that would be our plan for the next year or two.

我不知道用十億美元和朋友環遊世界能走多久，但我覺得這將是我們未來一兩年的計劃。

It's just blowing that money on travel and food and that kind of stuff.

這些錢都花在了旅行、吃飯之類的事情上。

That would be the dream, that would be the dream.

But again, not the realistic answer, because honestly I do want a house, I do want to invest.

但這又不是一個現實的答案，因為說實話，我確實想要一套房子，我確實想要投資。

I would give some of that money to my parents for helping me through college, all that kind of stuff.

我會把這些錢分給我的父母，讓他們幫助我完成大學學業，諸如此類。

但在一個完美的世界裡，我會去旅行。

The second question is, what was your dream as a kid?

第二個問題是，你小時候的夢想是什麼？

I feel like I was a very wishy-washy kid.

我覺得自己是個很沒種的孩子。

I had a lot of different interests, and I swear my like dream career and like dream goal in life would change every other week.

我有很多不同的興趣愛好，我發誓我的夢想職業和夢想人生目標每隔一週就會改變一次。

But one that I do remember sticking with for a lot was wanting to be a veterinarian.

但我確實記得，有一個我堅持了很久的夢想，那就是成為一名獸醫。

So I think that it's very common for kids to love animals, and I didn't really grow up with pets, like cats or dogs or anything like that.

是以，我認為孩子們喜歡動物是很常見的事情，而我並不是在寵物的陪伴下長大的，比如貓或狗之類的。

So I really wanted to be able to work with animals in the future, and I was like, oh, a veterinarian would be perfect.

是以，我非常希望將來能與動物打交道，我當時想，哦，當一名獸醫再好不過了。

Again, I didn't know anything about like what actually involved to be a vet.

同樣，我對獸醫的工作一無所知。

But yeah, that was what I would tell everyone when they asked me, what do you want to be when you grow up?

但是，當每個人問我 "你長大後想做什麼 "時，我都會這麼回答。

Just because all I thought it meant was that you hung out with cats and dogs all day.

因為我只覺得你整天和貓狗混在一起。

A very broad question, but I feel like that just gives me more to talk about.

這是一個非常寬泛的問題，但我覺得這讓我有了更多的話題。

I honestly, I really pride myself on my cooking and baking.

老實說，我真的為自己的廚藝和烘焙感到自豪。

Whenever I go home, right now in college, I don't have access to a kitchen, so I don't really cook or bake a lot.

我現在在大學裡，每次回家都沒有廚房，所以我不經常做飯或烘焙。

But every time I go home, I am always like in the kitchen cooking.

但每次回家，我總是喜歡在廚房做飯。

I think that it's just such a good necessary skill.

我認為這是一項很好的必備技能。

I love like cooking with my friends or cooking with my family or like baking something for my neighbors and bringing it to them.

我喜歡和朋友一起做飯，或者和家人一起做飯，或者為鄰居們烘焙一些東西，然後帶給他們。

I'm moving into a new place next year, and I was already talking with my future roommates.

明年我就要搬進新家了，我已經和未來的室友們商量好了。

I'm like, guys, once we have all the furniture moved in, can we have a big baking night and go introduce ourselves to our neighbors, give them our number, give them some like cookies or something just to kind of establish that relationship.

我想，夥計們，等我們把所有傢俱都搬進去之後，我們能不能辦一個大型的烘焙之夜，向鄰居們介紹一下我們自己，給他們我們的電話號碼，給他們一些餅乾什麼的，就當是建立關係了。

I also would say like another skill that is kind of useful in all aspects of my life is I'm a very organized person.

我還想說的是，我的另一項技能對我生活的方方面面都很有用，那就是我是一個非常有條理的人。

I credit my mom for this because I feel like she taught me all my organizational skills, but it's been super helpful in college just because I'm working like two jobs right now.

我把這歸功於我的媽媽，因為我覺得我的組織能力都是她教的，但這在大學裡也有很大幫助，因為我現在要打兩份工。

I'm applying to like future internships and stuff like that.

我正在申請未來的實習之類的工作。

And I think staying organized, like keeping a calendar, knowing what I want, when I want it, and like when I have things planned has been super helpful in staying efficient and yeah, just productive in college for sure.

我覺得保持有條理，比如記好日曆，知道自己想要什麼，什麼時候想要，什麼時候計劃好事情，這對保持高效率非常有幫助，是的，在大學裡就是有生產力，這是肯定的。

So yeah, two different sides of the spectrum, like the cooking and staying organized.

所以說，烹飪和井井有條是兩個不同的方面。

But I feel like those are two skills that I really enjoy.

但我覺得這兩項技能是我非常喜歡的。

Another question Yasu had for me was if you're going back into the past, when would you go and what would you do?

Yasu 向我提出的另一個問題是，如果你回到過去，你會在什麼時候去，會做什麼？

And honestly, I haven't thought about this one a lot before.

老實說，我以前也沒怎麼想過這個問題。

I feel like there's so many good things about the era that we're in.

我覺得我們所處的時代有很多好東西。

But I think one of my guilty pleasure answers would be I would go back into the 70s and see a David Bowie concert.

不過，我覺得我的一個心虛答案是，我會回到 70 年代，去看一場大衛-鮑伊的演唱會。

And he died back in 2016 when I was still in middle school.

而他早在 2016 年就去世了，當時我還在上國中。

So I feel like I didn't really appreciate music.

所以我覺得自己並沒有真正欣賞過音樂。

But it was kind of during middle school and high school that I discovered him.

但我是在國中和高中時才發現他的。

So that's something that we've talked about before.

這也是我們之前討論過的問題。

So I would love to see one of his concerts live.

所以，我很想看一次他的現場演唱會。

And obviously that's no longer possible because he passed away.

顯然，這已經不可能了，因為他已經去世。

But he has this particular show in London that he did in 1973 that I would have loved to have been there.

但他 1973 年在倫敦有一場特別的演出，我很想去看。

And it was at the height of kind of his stardom, I would say.

我想說的是，那是他最紅的時候。

But also when one of his albums came out, which is my personal favorite album.

不過，當他的一張專輯面世時，也是我個人最喜歡的一張專輯。

So I would love to go back into the 70s and see that concert.

所以，我很想回到 70 年代，看看那場音樂會。

The next question is, what is an emotionally powerful movie that I've seen?

下一個問題是，我看過的情感強烈的電影是什麼？

For this one, I would have to say Do the Right Thing.

在這一點上，我不得不說 "做正確的事"。

My dad had me watch it when I was younger.

And I watched it again for a film class in high school.

我在高中的電影課上又看了一遍。

But basically it was directed in the 80s.

It's really hard to explain just in one video.

這真的很難用一段視頻來解釋。

But it explores basically racism in the US and the legacy of it.

但它探討的基本上是美國的種族主義及其遺留問題。

It mostly follows the black community in New York.

Which was super vibrant and interesting during the 80s.

在上世紀 80 年代，這裡充滿了活力和趣味。

But it also has these Italian immigrants who own a pizza shop there.

但也有一些意大利移民在那裡開了一家披薩店。

It has some Korean immigrants, I'm pretty sure.

我敢肯定，這裡有一些韓國移民。

And it's kind of exploring those racial tensions between them.

這也是對他們之間種族矛盾的一種探索。

But also the influence of, I would say, white supremacy.

但我要說，這也是白人至上主義的影響。

And oppressive structures within our legal system.

以及我們法律體系中的壓迫性結構。

And how that kind of affects individuals' lives.

它還對警察的暴行進行了大量探討。

It's always a movie that will make me cry.

Just because you get so emotionally connected to the characters.

就是因為你與人物的情感如此緊密相連。

And the filming techniques are super interesting.

但總的來說，這是一部非常好看的電影。
