Yes, we get beautiful flowers and roses and all the fun stuff, and we also hit this other thing called prairie menopause.

是的，我們得到了美麗的鮮花和玫瑰，以及所有有趣的東西，但我們也遇到了另一件事，叫做草原更年期。

And ladies, it's not roses and flowers and wonderful things.

女士們，這不是玫瑰、鮮花和美好的事物。

And it doesn't seem like there's enough information out there, so I'm here to help you.

但似乎沒有足夠的資訊，所以我來幫你。

And this isn't just for the ladies, it's for anyone who is a lady or a man or whatever you want to identify as, because you have to understand what the women in your life are going through and, you know, just kind of help them out.

這不僅僅是為女士們準備的，也是為任何一位女士、男士或任何你想認同的人準備的，因為你必須瞭解你生活中的女性正在經歷什麼，你知道，這只是一種幫助她們的方式。

So today's lesson is on prairie menopause.

所以，今天的課程是關於草原更年期的。

Wow, what a great topic, something we've got to talk about.

哇，真是個好話題，我們得好好談談。

So prairie menopause is basically the woman's body stops producing a hormone called estrogen.

是以，草原更年期基本上是指女性的身體停止分泌一種叫做雌激素的荷爾蒙。

And I'm not a doctor, obviously, but estrogen is a hormone that women produce and it's part of our reproductive system.

顯然，我不是醫生，但雌激素是女性分泌的一種激素，是我們生殖系統的一部分。

I don't know, you probably got a bit of it, but women have a lot of it.

我不知道，你可能有一點，但女人有很多。

And what happens is our body's just like, nah, nah, just nah, done, done producing it, it's finished, I'm going to take a break, we're going to stop that.

然後，我們的身體就會說：吶，吶，吶，完了，製作完了，完了，我要休息了，我們要停止了。

This usually happens with women anywhere between ages 30 to 50.

這種情況通常發生在 30 至 50 歲的女性身上。

So I can't tell you, oh, when you turn 42, you're going to begin prairie menopause.

所以，我不能告訴你，哦，當你 42 歲時，你將開始草原更年期。

Prairie menopause means the time before menopause, and menopause means when you actually stop having your period and your baby maker is down for the count, you can no longer have children, your ovaries are just done, no kids anymore.

Prairie menopause（更年期草原）指的是絕經前的一段時間，而更年期指的是當你的月經真正停止時，你的 "造人機器 "就會停止工作，你不能再生育了，你的卵巢就這樣完了，再也沒有孩子了。

It's the stop, stopping of our reproductive system.

這是我們生殖系統的停止、停止。

Could be a good thing, but the symptoms, not good.

這可能是件好事，但從症狀來看，並不樂觀。

So we're going to have physical, and this is the thing that we have to watch out for, our emotional symptoms.

是以，我們會出現生理症狀，這就是我們必須注意的情緒症狀。

Let's go through the physical symptoms first.

First thing you're going to notice is the changes in your period.

I've also done a video, ladies, about your period in English, so you know some slang terms, how to talk about it with your doctor, but it's going to become irregular.

我還做了一個視頻，女士們，用英語講月經，讓你們知道一些俚語，如何與醫生談論月經，但月經會變得不規律。

Maybe it's going to kind of decrease, yes, oh, finally, yeah, until it's going to stop all, hallelujah, but it isn't that fun, it isn't all beautiful.

也許它會逐漸減少，是的，哦，終於，是的，直到停止，哈利路亞，但它並不那麼有趣，也不那麼美麗。

So your period's going to change, you're probably going to have less, it's not as heavy, and

是以，你的月經會發生變化，可能會減少，月經量也不會那麼多，而且

I'll be like, oh my god, sneeze, achoo, oh man, I got to change my tip on.

我就會想，天哪，打噴嚏了，啊嗚，天哪，我得把我的小費換了。

You're going to get these wonderful things during, they're called hot flashes.

在此期間，你會有一些奇妙的感覺，這就是所謂的潮熱。

You'll just be hanging out, being a normal lady, you know, doing what ladies do, and then all of a sudden, it's like you're burning up.

你只是在閒逛，做一個普通的女士，你知道，做女士們該做的事，然後突然間，你就像燃燒起來一樣。

Inside usually starts in the chest, and it goes up, and all of a sudden, you can't do enough to rip off all your clothes and go and lie in the snow bank.

內出血通常從胸部開始，然後逐漸上升，突然間，你會來不及脫掉所有衣服，躺在雪堆裡。

There's no time to say, oh yeah, do you know what, Tuesday at 8.45 I'm going to have a hot flash.

沒有時間說："哦，對了，你知道嗎，週二 8 點 45 分我要發高燒了。

We don't know when these are coming, and they usually come at the most inconvenient times.

我們不知道它們何時到來，而且它們通常在最不方便的時候到來。

We see this a lot in American Hollywood movies, ladies will be giving a speech, and all of a sudden you're just, it's really emphasized in movies like that, and it's kind of true, that's what happens.

我們經常在美國好萊塢電影中看到這樣的場景：女士們正在發表演講，突然間你就被吸引住了，這樣的場景在電影中經常出現。

I know someone that kept a record of their hot flashes, like Monday, I'm going to hot flash at 9 o'clock, and there was no regular pattern, like it wasn't like every Tuesday

我認識一個人，她記錄了自己的潮熱情況，比如週一，我在 9 點鐘的時候會潮熱，而且沒有規律，不像每週二那樣

I'm going to have five hot flashes between 9 a.m. and 9.35 p.m., there's no regulatory body on that.

我在上午 9 點到晚上 9 點 35 分之間會有五次潮熱，但沒有任何監管機構對此進行監管。

You're just, your body's like, you're going to be hot right now, and you're going to deal with it, and then you just go back to being normal, or you get cold, so hot flashes.

你只是，你的身體就像，你現在會很熱，你要處理它，然後你就會恢復正常，或者你會變冷，所以潮熱。

I'm lucky because I don't really sweat a lot, or maybe that's a bad thing.

我很幸運，因為我不怎麼出汗，或許這是件壞事。

Night sweats are when, obviously, sweat at night, sweat is perspiration, it's the water, your body's releasing the water from your body, and you're sleeping, everything's great, dreaming of chocolate and cookies, and all of a sudden you wake up, and you're just drenched in sweat, you're really, really wet, but not that kind of good wet, maybe you got to change your pajamas, do you wear pajamas, you got to change the bedsheets, because it's a puddle of sweat.

盜汗顯然是指晚上出汗，汗是汗液，是水分，是身體釋放出來的水分，你睡得很香，一切都很好，夢見巧克力和餅乾，突然間你就醒了，渾身大汗淋漓，你真的真的溼了，但不是那種很好的溼，也許你得換睡衣，你穿睡衣嗎，你得換床單，因為那是一灘汗。

Not cool, especially if you've got a partner there, and they're like, hey, I'm swimming, it's like, sorry, or not, sleep on the couch.

這可不好，尤其是如果你有個同伴在那兒，他們會說，嘿，我在游泳，那就對不起了，還是算了吧，睡沙發吧。

You want to wake up, have a shower, go back to bed.

你想醒來，洗個澡，再上床睡覺。

Vaginal dryness, now this is something that when I was writing on the board, I was like, well, this is going to be fun, I get to talk about vaginal dryness on YouTube.

陰道乾澀，當我寫在黑板上時，我就想，這一定很有趣，我可以在 YouTube 上談論陰道乾澀。

It's when your vagina gets dry, so during sexual intercourse, oh yeah, when you're doing it, when you're having sex, you're probably going to need to use some lube or lubricant, because it might not feel that good anymore.

當你的陰道變得乾澀時，所以在性交過程中，哦，是的，當你做的時候，當你做愛的時候，你可能需要使用一些潤滑油或潤滑劑，因為感覺可能不再那麼好了。

Yeah, you might need some help down there in the vagina.

是啊，你的陰道下面可能需要一些幫助。

I don't know what other parts you're doing, so just carry on.

我不知道你還在做什麼，繼續吧。

Because of the night sweats, they're going to wake you up, and you will probably develop insomnia.

因為盜汗會把你弄醒，你很可能會失眠。

Maybe you cannot get to sleep, so you've got your jammies on, you brushed your teeth, you've got your book, you're ready, you crawl into bed, and you're like, oh, hold on, okay, let's try again.

也許你無法入睡，所以你穿上了睡衣，刷了牙，拿了書，準備好了，爬上床，然後你會想，哦，等等，好吧，讓我們再試一次。

Insomnia means you can't get to sleep, or your sleep is interrupted.

失眠意味著您無法入睡或睡眠被打斷。

You might also have tiredness during the day, yeah, oh yeah, back in the room, so we're encountering sleep problems.

你白天可能也會感到疲倦，是的，哦，是的，回到房間裡，所以我們遇到了睡眠問題。

Back in the day, oh yeah, let's go and run 10K, let's go shopping, and then go out with girls, and then do this, and this, and now you're like, oh man, I've got to leave the house?

以前，哦，是的，讓我們去跑 10 公里，讓我們去購物，然後和女孩出去，然後做這個，做這個，現在你想，哦，夥計，我得離開家？

不，不，不，不，不，已經晚上八點了，好了。

Some women can experience hair loss, which is kind of like, oh, hey, look at all my hair.

有些女性會出現脫髮，這就有點像 "哦，嘿，看看我的頭髮"。

And another thing that a lot of women experience is changing in weight, or their body shape.

很多女性都會經歷的另一件事是體重或體型的變化。

And of course, it's not going to be that we all lose weight and become supermodels, because that would be weird.

當然，也不會是我們都減肥變成超級名模，因為那樣太奇怪了。

It's never like, oh, look at me, I have the body of an athlete now.

這絕不是說，哦，看看我，我現在有了運動員的身材。

We have to look at next the emotional symptoms, and these are the ones that I don't think people talk about enough, because it's not just like, oh, look at me, I'm sweaty, I've got hot flashes.

我們還必須關注情緒症狀，我認為人們對這些症狀談論得還不夠，因為它不僅僅是 "哦，看看我，我出汗了，我潮熱了"。

There's some shit going down in our brains that needs to be looked after.

我們的大腦裡有一些東西需要處理。

So oh yeah, oh yeah, we're moody, or in slang we say bitchy.

所以，哦，是的，哦，是的，我們喜怒無常，或者用俚語說就是賤。

It means if one little thing makes us angry, our whole day is ruined.

這意味著，如果一件小事讓我們生氣，我們的一整天就毀了。

Or if I haven't had my coffee, don't even talk to me, times 100.

或者，如果我還沒喝咖啡，就別和我說話，乘以 100。

So if you're moody, it means your temperament changes.

是以，如果你喜怒無常，就意味著你的性情發生了變化。

In the morning you'd be like, yeah, I'm going to kill this day, it's going to be great.

早上起來，你會想，是啊，我今天一定要大幹一場，一定會很棒的。

By 12 o'clock noon, you're like, I need to sleep and I'm going to kill everyone.

到了中午 12 點，你就會想，我要睡覺，我要殺了所有人。

So our mood goes up and down, our temperament.

是以，我們的情緒起起伏伏，我們的性情也是如此。

You can't get the lid off of the bottle, that didn't affect you before, but now, after your 30s, you're like, damn, I'm going to kill this bottle.

你無法揭開瓶蓋，這在以前並不影響你，但現在，30 多歲之後，你會想，該死的，我要殺了這個瓶子。

So we need to kind of relax and get someone else to do it for us.

是以，我們需要放鬆一下，讓別人代勞。

These are also symptoms of PMS, premenstrual syndrome, but ladies, they're more...

這些也是經前綜合徵（PMS）的症狀，但女士們，它們更...

You can become overly emotional, crying, but seems like no reason to other people, but it's a reason for you.

你會變得過於情緒化，哭泣，但在別人看來是沒有原因的，但對你來說卻是有原因的。

So gentlemen out there, please take care of your ladies.

先生們，請照顧好你們的女士。

If you know someone who's experiencing period menopause, help them.

如果您認識正在經歷更年期的人，請幫助他們。

Give the girl some chocolate, that'll help you.

給那女孩一些巧克力，那會對你有幫助的。

I'm not a doctor, I've told you this, and there are many different methods to help you with this.

我不是醫生，我已經告訴過你，有很多不同的方法可以幫助你解決這個問題。
