頻率副詞

This is Hifumi, 27 years old, a working mother of two in Tokyo, and her morning always starts earlier than everyone else in the family.

她叫 Hifumi，今年 27 歲，是東京一位有兩個孩子的職業母親。

While her kids and husband are asleep, she quietly gets ready for the day ahead.

當孩子和丈夫熟睡時，她靜靜地為未來的一天做好準備。

Once her kids are up, she has little time for herself, so she takes advantage of this time.

孩子們一起床，她自己的時間就很少了，所以她要好好利用這段時間。

那麼，您在化妝上花了多少時間？

Hifumi and her family live in this two-story house, moving here three years ago.

希芙美和她的家人住在這棟兩層樓的房子裡，三年前搬到這裡。

Prior, they lived in Shibuya, one of the busiest cities in Tokyo, but her and her husband found it too crowded to raise their children, and found this quiet place only a few stations away, quite common as Japanese on average move three to four times in their lifetime.

之前，他們住在東京最繁華的城市之一澀谷，但她和丈夫覺得那裡太擁擠了，不適合撫養孩子，於是在幾站路之外找到了這個安靜的地方，這在日本人一生中平均搬家三到四次是很常見的。

Now she starts with her family's morning breakfast preparation.

現在，她從為家人準備早餐開始。

Although she works, so does her husband, but with longer working hours, so they must share the house chores, with her taking a bit more responsibility, including breakfast.

雖然她和丈夫都有工作，但工作時間更長，是以他們必須分擔家務，她承擔的責任更多一些，包括早餐。

Interestingly, in Japan, recent studies show that these days, 75.9% of mothers work, which 30 years ago was less than 50%.

有趣的是，日本最近的研究表明，如今有 75.9% 的母親在工作，而 30 年前這一比例還不到 50%。

So growing up, she was never really interested in cooking, but learned a lot by using recipes, so that she could make her kids happy.

是以，在成長過程中，她從未真正對烹飪產生過興趣，但為了能讓孩子們開心，她通過使用食譜學到了很多東西。

The kids aren't up by seven, she wakes them up.

孩子們七點還沒起床，她就把他們叫醒。

Apparently, they were up late last night, so it's probably going to be a slow morning for them.

顯然，他們昨晚睡得很晚，所以對他們來說，這可能會是一個緩慢的早晨。

That's Nana, Hifumi's six-year-old daughter.

And that's Hachi, her three-year-old son.

So the kids usually go to nursery on 8.30 on weekdays, so mornings are a bit more chaotic on top of her regular work schedule, which starts shortly after she drops them off, and continues until the afternoon.

平日裡，孩子們通常在 8 點半去幼兒園，是以，除了她正常的工作時間之外，早上的時間安排就比較混亂了，因為她的工作時間是從送孩子後不久開始的，一直持續到下午。

But since today's a weekend, there's a slower pace to things.

不過，由於今天是週末，大家的節奏都比較慢。

Nonetheless, Hifumi still has to balance some of her work today, while also taking care of the kids.

儘管如此，Hifumi 今天仍然要兼顧一些工作，同時還要照顧孩子。

Oh, it looks like the kids are watching TikTok.

In Japan, it's pretty common for kids these days to watch this or YouTube to pass the time, and pretty common for working parents to welcome the assistants.

在日本，現在的孩子們經常看這個或 YouTube 來打發時間，工作的父母們也經常歡迎助理們的到來。

Nice, I guess Hifumi's eating yogurt with a lot of toppings.

很好，我猜 Hifumi 在吃酸奶時加了很多配料。

You must have had to change your entire wardrobe.

So Hifumi owns and runs a churro business and recently opened her second shop, so she's been a bit more under pressure to manage both her home and work life.

Hifumi 經營著一家巧克力蛋糕店，最近又開了第二家店，是以她在家庭和工作兩方面的壓力都比較大。

Hence, between taking care of the kids and the house chores, you'll find her working.

是以，在照顧孩子和做家務之間，你會發現她在工作。

The day is such a nice day, so she decided to take the kids to Odaiba after going by her shop to do some work.

今天天氣很好，她決定先去自己的店裡忙活一下，然後帶孩子們去臺場玩。

Guess her husband's leaving for work now!

Hifumi, so what do you think the toughest part about raising kids is?

Hifumi，你認為養育孩子最困難的部分是什麼？

I don't know what I want to do, and I don't know why I'm crying.

我不知道自己想做什麼，也不知道自己為什麼哭。

But now, they say things like, I don't like this, I want to eat this, so it's a lot easier.

但現在，他們會說 "我不喜歡吃這個，我想吃這個 "之類的話，這樣就容易多了。

She says that when she's exhausted, she easily gets irritated, but tries to zone out to calm herself so she doesn't yell at them for the wrong reasons.

她說，當她筋疲力盡的時候，她很容易被激怒，但她會盡量讓自己冷靜下來，這樣她就不會因為錯誤的原因而對他們大喊大叫。

Hachi, what are you going to do with that trash can?

小八,你打算怎麼處理那個垃圾桶?

So the kids are old enough now to play on their own, so Hifumi makes use of this time to tidy up the house.

孩子們已經長大了，可以自己玩了，所以 Hifumi 利用這段時間整理了一下房間。

我又回來了，又是一天的生活。

今天我給你們帶來了一個有趣的節目。

We are following a working mom with two kids.

我們正在跟蹤一位有兩個孩子的職業母親。

We are going to Hifumi's house right now.

In Japan, law requires that all kids under the age of 6 are secured in a car seat.

在日本，法律規定所有 6 歲以下兒童都必須使用汽車座椅。

But Nana and Hachi are not too fond of this law and usually struggle to get in.

但娜娜和小八不太喜歡這條法律，通常都是費了好大勁才進去。
