程度副詞

This area is an area of Japanese legend and I am pretty excited because today's video is sponsored by EA.

這裡是日本的傳奇之地，我非常激動，因為今天的視頻是由 EA 贊助的。

And we'll come back to that because there's both a location and an item that we're going to need for today's adventure first.

我們會再來討論這個問題，因為今天的冒險首先需要一個地點和一件物品。

It's a wooden tag specific to this area that can...

這是該地區特有的木質標籤，可以...

A while back I did this adventure where we traveled across Japan doing new live streams, videos, adventures, hikes every single day.

前不久，我參加了一次探險活動，我們在日本各地旅行，每天都有新的直播、視頻、探險和遠足活動。

And the final major stop on that adventure was this once hidden mountain hot spring village of Gero.

而這次探險的最後一站，就是這個曾經不為人知的山中溫泉之鄉--吉羅。

But the unfortunate thing is the stream quality that day was absolutely terrible.

但不幸的是，當天的流媒體品質絕對糟糕透頂。

It looked like I shot the entire thing on an actual potato.

看起來就像我用真正的洋芋拍攝的一樣。

And so I've wanted to come back ever since, share a little bit more of the area's history, and hopefully do it a little more justice.

從那時起，我就一直想再回來，與大家分享更多關於這個地區的歷史，希望能對得起這片土地。

Right now I am just making my way out of this mountain hike through a shrine into a temple at the very top of Gero itself.

現在，我正穿過一座神殿，前往位於吉羅山頂的一座寺廟，離開這座山。

I think it should be right down this way.

You can see why I wanted to come back, right?

This little morning walk is already so much better than a grainy pixelated live stream.

這小小的晨練已經比顆粒像素化的直播好多了。

But it begs the question, why would EA, a games company, want to sponsor a Tokyo Lens video?

但問題是，作為一家遊戲公司，EA 為什麼要贊助《東京鏡頭》的視頻呢？

What turns out the Tokyo Lens aesthetic is right up their alley, and they wanted to share the release of their new Wild Hearts game that just launched.

原來，《東京透鏡》的美學風格正合他們的胃口，他們想與大家分享剛剛發佈的新遊戲《狂野之心》。

It's like if you were to take an area like this, almost straight out of old feudal Japan, which is already beautiful by the way, and turn it into this visually spectacular mystical version, and then on top of that turn it into an action-packed adventure game of And this is where they got me hunting monsters that in the game are called Kemono.

這就好比你要把這樣一個幾乎直接來自封建舊日本的區域（順便說一句，日本本來就很美）變成一個視覺壯觀的神祕版本，然後再把它變成一個充滿動作的冒險遊戲，這就是他們讓我狩獵怪物的地方，在遊戲中這些怪物被稱為 Kemono。

And this is the spot I was searching for.

This is where our adventure begins today.

我們今天的探險就從這裡開始。

I thought it would not only be an amazing match to the look and feel of this area, but also to the fact that this seemingly simple onsen town in the mountains actually has a very rich history.

我想，這不僅會與這裡的外觀和感覺相得益彰，而且這個看似簡單的山中溫泉小鎮其實有著非常豐富的歷史。

Even this Onsenji Temple right here has an amazing backstory I can't wait to share with you.

就連這座溫泉寺也有一個神奇的故事，我迫不及待地想與大家分享。

This town of Gero was once a hidden rest stop for warriors.

吉羅鎮曾是戰士們隱蔽的驛站。

Samurai and samurai leaders would come here to hide out, because this was one of the only places in Japan that had onsen or a hot spring running day and night.

武士和武士首領都會來這裡藏身，因為這裡是日本唯一一個日夜都有溫泉的地方。

And because the area of Gifu, the prefecture that we're in right now, is over 90% mountain, it made little valleys like the one that Gero here is tucked into into perfect hiding spaces.

由於我們現在所在的岐阜縣 90% 以上都是山地，是以像下呂這樣的小山谷就成了完美的藏身之處。

Kind of makes me feel like the whole area is just one big beautiful side quest for real-life warriors and adventurers.

這讓我覺得，整個地區就是現實生活中的勇士和冒險家們的一個大型美麗的支線任務。

Before I forget, we're gonna have to go find our special item.

趁我還沒忘 我們得去找我們的特殊物品了

And in order to do so, we're gonna need to head into the town.

為了做到這一點，我們需要進城。

In Japanese, the word Kemono means beast.

在日語中，Kemono 是野獸的意思。

It's believed to come from the word Bakemono, which is a word used to describe monsters.

據說這個詞來自 Bakemono，是一個用來形容怪物的詞。

And this is all a very simplified explanation, but it'll do.

雖然這只是一個非常簡單的解釋，但也足夠了。

And in the new Wild Hearts game, these Kemono are massive beasts that have undergone a unique evolution by fusing with their environment and nature.

在新的《狂野之心》遊戲中，這些 Kemono 是一種巨大的野獸，它們與環境和自然融合，經歷了獨特的進化。

Traveling Japan already feels like an otherworldly adventure most of the time between the views you get, the mountains, the hidden villages.

在日本旅行，大多數時候都會覺得自己是在進行一場超凡脫俗的探險，你可以欣賞到美景、山巒和隱祕的村莊。

I already have to work to convince myself that all of this is real half the time.

我已經有一半的時間要努力說服自己這一切都是真的。

But can you imagine traveling through a place like this and coming across this giant Kemono-style beast that can modify its environment and you have to hunt or battle that thing?

但是，你能想象在這樣一個地方旅行時，會遇到這種能改變環境的巨大的 Kemono 式野獸，而你必須去獵殺或與之戰鬥嗎？

I came across a bear last year while staying with a hermit here in the mountains of Gifu.

去年，我在岐阜山區與一位隱士同住時，遇到了一隻熊。

And my favorite part of that memory is that when I told the hermit and my hiking buddy that I had come across said bear.

在這段記憶中，我最喜歡的部分是，當我告訴隱士和我的徒步旅行夥伴，我遇到了那隻熊。

There's no Kemono, obviously, but the harmony between Japan and nature is that story that I love.

顯然，這裡沒有 Kemono，但日本與自然之間的和諧是我喜歡的故事。

It shouldn't be that challenging to find.

From what I understand, they're readily available in many places.

據我所知，很多地方都能買到。

There's just something about going through these narrow alleyways of Japan that always makes me feel like it's a game.

穿過日本這些狹窄的小巷，總讓我覺得像是在玩遊戲。

You know, my end of year goal, my New Year's resolution, if you will, for almost every single year is the same.

要知道，我的年終目標，也就是我的新年願望，幾乎每年都是一樣的。

Make a little bit more time for myself and play a game.

給自己多留點時間，玩玩遊戲。

這可能就是我不這樣做的原因。

Because every one of these little adventures feels like a game of its own.

因為每一次小冒險都像是一場獨立的遊戲。

And I think this is where we can get our item.

我想，這就是我們可以得到我們的項目的地方。

And this here is what is known as the Yumiguri Tegata.

While it may look just like a souvenir, it's actually more of a key or a pass.

雖然它看起來只是一個紀念品，但實際上更像是一把鑰匙或通行證。

And we're going to need this later today.

I want to attach this somewhere, like here, but it just feels so bulky and unnecessary.

我想把它貼在某個地方，比如這裡，但感覺它太笨重，沒有必要。

Since the Wild Hearts game focuses on mythological creatures, I actually wanted to share a local myth or legend that lies in the heart of the town of Gero.

既然《狂野之心》遊戲以神話生物為主題，我其實想分享一個蘊藏在吉羅鎮中心的當地神話或傳說。

So the legend says that about 800 years ago, the onsen water, the hot spring water here in Gero, stopped flowing completely.

傳說大約在 800 年前，下呂的溫泉水完全停止了流動。

Some say there was no reason, others say that it was because of an earthquake.

有人說沒有原因，也有人說是因為地震。

And as Gero is an onsen town, obviously this was a problem.

下呂是一個溫泉之鄉，這顯然是個問題。

But then one day, an injured white heron was said to land right here on the Hida River.

但有一天，據說一隻受傷的白鷺就落在了飛驒河上。

And white heron are far from common in this area.

So as the villagers approached to get a closer look, suddenly, as if healed all in an instant, the heron took off into the sky.

於是，當村民們走近仔細觀察時，突然，蒼鷺就像瞬間痊癒了一樣，飛上了天空。

And from the spot where it had landed, hot onsen water came piping out of the ground.

從它降落的地方，滾燙的溫泉水從地下噴湧而出。

And the onsen, the hot springs, they were back.

More amazingly, after that, the heron flew into the mountains.

更神奇的是，在那之後，蒼鷺飛進了山裡。

And the spot that it chose to land and rest became the Onsenji Temple that we started at today.

而它選擇降落和休息的地方，就是我們今天開始的溫泉寺。

So if you actually look inside that temple, there's a wooden plaque that has an image of a white heron, even though they're not local to this area.

是以，如果你真的走進那座寺廟，會發現裡面有一塊木匾，上面有一隻白鷺的圖案，儘管白鷺並不是這個地區的在地物種。

Also, there's an open-air onsen or bath over here that people actually come out in bathing suits and sit down by the river and enjoy the hot springs.

此外，這裡還有一個露天溫泉或浴場，人們可以穿著泳衣出來，坐在河邊享受溫泉。

A lot of Japanese mythology and folklore tend to tie together animals or creatures with nature in this way.

很多日本神話和民間傳說都傾向於以這種方式將動物或生物與自然聯繫在一起。

I think it's a really good way to represent the raw power of nature itself, especially in such a natural disaster-prone country like Japan.

我認為這是一種很好的方式來表現自然本身的原始力量，尤其是在日本這樣一個自然災害頻發的國家。

Each area of Japan also kind of has its own mythology and legends and creatures.

日本的每個地區都有自己的神話傳說和生物。

And also, that mountaintop up there, I don't even know if I'm pointing at the right one, is where I'm heading to.

還有，那上面的山頂，我都不知道我指的對不對，就是我要去的地方。

I'm going to be trying to hike through the forest up to the peak of that mountain.

我要徒步穿過森林，登上山頂。

We've got some unpredictable mountain weather passing through right now and there's a bit of a hiking course right here.

現在山區天氣變幻莫測，這裡有一段徒步旅行路線。

Weirdly often, the entrance to these hiking trails and whatnot tend to just be in the back of people's properties.

奇怪的是，這些遠足小徑的入口往往就在人們房產的後面。

So I'm always somewhat unsure if this is the path that I need to be taking.

是以，我總是有些不確定這是否是我需要走的路。

But it always starts the hike off with an extra sense of adventure.

但它總能給徒步旅行帶來額外的冒險感。

I rarely ever get a chance to spend more than one to two days in any given area and then I'm on to the next location or on to the next project or whatever it might be.

我很少有機會在某個地區待上一到兩天，然後我就會去下一個地方或下一個項目，不管是什麼。

So when I have this opportunity like this to come back and re-explore a place that caught my interest and learn more about it and check out the spots that I didn't get to check out, it is such a treat.

是以，當我有這樣的機會回來，重新探索一個引起我興趣的地方，瞭解更多關於它的資訊，看看我沒能去的景點，這真是一種享受。

It's kind of like that very first trip to Japan.

The first time that you ever come to Japan, it ends up being like an appetizer.

第一次來日本，結果就像開胃菜一樣。

This thing that teases you and you cannot wait to get back and experience more.

這一切都讓你欲罷不能，迫不及待地想要回去體驗更多。

And every new place I go in Japan kind of does that for me.

在日本，每到一個新地方，我都會這樣做。

There are very few places that I haven't wanted to go back a second time and explore more.

很少有地方能讓我不想再去第二次，探索更多。

NAKASENDO Not quite as beautiful, but this whole area reminds me of my Nakasendo walk from last year.

中山道 雖然沒有那麼美，但整個區域讓我想起了去年的中山道之行。

Still by far one of my favorite walks I've ever done.

到目前為止，這仍然是我最喜歡的散步路線之一。

We have got to go back and do more of that trail.

我們一定要回去，多走幾條這樣的小路。
