I often get asked for advice and tips about traveling to Japan and the first thing I always say is DO NOT COME HERE IN THE SUMMER!

經常有人向我諮詢去日本旅遊的建議和技巧，我總是說的第一件事就是不要在夏天來這裡！

情態副詞

Springtime has cherry blossoms and perfect for little outdoor picnics, autumn is nice and breezy and the leaves are vibrant, the winter is perfect for enjoying hot springs and piping hot oden from the local konbini, and the summer gives you bugs and a perpetual feeling of swamp ass everywhere you go because of how offensively humid it is outside.

春天櫻花盛開，非常適合戶外野餐；秋天微風拂面，樹葉生機勃勃；冬天適合泡溫泉，在當地的海濱餐廳品嚐熱騰騰的關東煮；夏天蟲子多，走到哪裡都有一種沼澤的感覺，因為室外潮溼得令人反感。

We all know summer is easily the worst season in general, but for some reason I find it's especially hellish in Japan.

我們都知道夏天是最糟糕的季節，但不知為什麼，我覺得日本的夏天尤其糟糕。

So these are my three biggest complaints about the season.

以上就是我對本賽季的三大不滿。

And I guess I should mention this disclaimer, because I already know some contrarian is out there itching to type something like typical ungrateful fear-mongering gaijin looking for something to complain about.

我想我應該提一下這個免責聲明，因為我已經知道一定會有一些酸民迫不及待地打出「典型的忘恩負義、散播恐懼、硬要找茬的外國人」之類的話。

You clearly don't know how to make the most out of Japanese summers.

你顯然不知道如何充分利用日本的夏天。

I visited in the summer of 2019 and had the most splendid time.

我在 2019 年夏天來過這裡，度過了最美好的時光。

It's really not that bad if you know what you're doing.

如果你知道自己在做什麼，其實也沒那麼糟糕。

I don't do very well with heat and humidity.

我不太適應炎熱和潮溼的環境。

These are of course grievances based on my own subjective opinions and experiences.

當然，這些都是基於我個人主觀意見和經驗的不滿。

I'm just here to share my silly little stories with my silly little drawings.

我只是在這裡分享我的傻故事和我的傻畫作。

And speaking of silly little drawings, I just came back from a multi-day art trip in Osaka with a bunch of other artists, and during this trip I decided I want to get better at drawing on the go, especially since I travel a lot more around this time.

說到愚蠢的小畫，我剛從大阪和其他一些藝術家進行了為期多天的藝術之旅回來，在這次旅行中，我決定要在旅途中更好地畫畫，尤其是這段時間我經常出差。

And luckily, the sponsor of today's video, Skillshare, can help me with that!

Heatstroke warnings are something I've learned to be more mindful of, especially as someone who mostly gets around by walking and using public transportation.

中暑警告是我學會更加註意的事情，尤其是作為一個主要靠步行和乘坐公共交通出行的人。

During the summers now, I'll always be equipped with a UV umbrella, a water bottle, and some form of electrolytes when I walk around.

現在的夏天，我走在路上都會帶一把防紫外線傘、一個水壺和一些電解質。

But last year, when I was less wise, one day I thought it would be a great idea to bike home from my Japanese class instead of taking the subway.

不過，去年我還沒那麼聰明，有一天我想，上完日語課不坐地鐵，騎自行車回家是個好主意。

The trip wasn't that far, and I figured it would be a good mini-workout.

路程並不遠，我想這是一次很好的小型鍛鍊。

I was in my cute little summer outfit, hot breeze running through my hair, with the sun beating down on me.

我穿著可愛的小夏裝，熱風吹過我的頭髮，陽光灑在我身上。

And wow, I don't remember the way back having this many hills.

哇，我不記得回去的路上有這麼多山。

And then suddenly, my vision started blurring and I started feeling really dizzy.

突然，我的視線開始模糊，頭也開始暈眩。

And as my vision started getting hazier, the only thing I could think about was how embarrassing it would be if I passed out right here in the middle of the sidewalk.

當我的視線開始變得朦朧時，我唯一能想到的是，如果我就在人行道中間暈倒了，那該有多尷尬。

So in a panic, I threw my bike to the ground and ran to the nearest grocery store.

於是，我慌忙把自行車扔在地上，跑向最近的一家雜貨店。

And then spent the next 10 minutes dry heaving in the freezer section.

Luckily, didn't pass out, but ever since then, I've avoided biking anywhere during the summer.

幸運的是，我沒有暈過去，但從那以後，我再也不敢在夏天騎車去任何地方了。

I still have no idea if I narrowly escaped heatstroke or if I was just dehydrated and panicking, but I'm not taking any chances.  The constant sweating.

我仍然不知道自己是險些中暑，還是因為脫水和恐慌，但我不想冒任何風險。  不停地出汗

If you're the type to sweat easily, you can expect to be perpetually drenched here in the summertime.

如果你是那種容易出汗的人，那麼夏天在這裡你可能會永遠被淋成落湯雞。

And I have absolutely no idea how everyone manages to wear long sleeves in the summer.

我完全不知道大家是怎麼在夏天穿長袖的。

As a certified California girl, I have a lot of outfits specifically for a hot summer day, but I unfortunately don't feel super comfortable wearing them here.

作為一個合格的加州女孩，我有很多專門為炎炎夏日準備的服裝，但遺憾的是，在這裡穿起來並不太舒服。

I love a cute little mini skirt or spaghetti strap romper or open back dress, but I don't really wear them while I'm in Japan.

我喜歡可愛的迷你裙、細肩帶連衣裙或露背連衣裙，但我在日本時並不怎麼穿它們。

And speaking from the perspective of someone who lives in Tokyo, realistically, you can wear whatever you want, right?

從一個住在東京的人的角度來看，現實生活中，你想穿什麼就穿什麼，不是嗎？

Like the fashion police isn't going to stop you and ticket you for showing too much clavicle.

就像時尚警察不會因為你露出太多鎖骨而攔下你開罰單一樣。

And at the end of the day, no one's going to give you shit for it.

到最後，也不會有人是以罵你。

But my goal in my everyday life is to blend in and not direct too much attention to myself.

但我在日常生活中的目標是融入社會，不讓別人過多地關注我。

So nowadays, I just suck it up and wear the extra layer underneath that summer dress, even if it makes my back extra sweaty.

是以，如今我只能忍痛在夏裝裡多穿一層，即使這會讓我的後背特別容易出汗。

Also, I don't know about you guys, but I get so much more irritated in hot and humid weather.

另外，我不知道你們怎麼想，但我在溼熱的天氣裡會更加煩躁。

Everything pisses me off when it feels like I'm covered in a layer of grime and sweat.

當我感覺渾身上下都是汙垢和汗水時，一切都會讓我生氣。

And this is a non-issue, but it's hard to feel cute when the humidity is ruining your hair and makeup.

雖然這不是什麼大問題，但如果潮溼破壞了你的髮型和妝容，就很難讓人覺得可愛了。

And just recently, I randomly developed rosacea, which can flare up from the sun in high temperatures and stress.

就在最近，我隨機患上了紅斑痤瘡，在高溫和壓力下，這種疾病會在陽光下發作。

You're really elevating my summer experience.

你們真的提升了我的暑期體驗。

When you're not being oven broiled by the heat of the sun, you're being assaulted by the rainy typhoon season.

當你沒有被烈日炙烤的時候，你就會受到颱風雨季的襲擊。

And normally, I don't mind the rain too much.

通常情況下，我並不太介意下雨。

But if you're not careful, typhoon season can really mess up whatever plans you had on your itinerary for the day.

但一不小心，颱風季節就會打亂您當天的行程安排。

Example, so earlier this month, Jacob and Jaden were in town for a magical Mirai, and we made plans to go to Nagoya to catch the last day of the Sailor Moon exhibit.

舉個例子，本月初，雅各布和傑登在城裡參加一個神奇的未來世界，我們計劃去名古屋趕上美少女戰士展覽的最後一天。

And a few months prior, I'd gotten us four premium passes to Ghibli Park.

幾個月前，我給我們買了四張吉卜力公園的高級通行證。

Take a morning train to Nagoya, check out the Sailor Moon exhibit as soon as it opens, have fun at Ghibli Park until closing, and then head to Osaka.

乘坐早班火車前往名古屋，在美少女戰士展覽開幕後立即前往參觀，在吉卜力公園玩到閉園，然後前往大阪。

I was so excited to show them an unforgettable time.

我非常高興能讓他們看到一段難忘的時光。

When we met up at the station, we discovered that the Shinkansen line we were going to take was suspended for the day because of the typhoon.

當我們在車站集合時，發現我們要乘坐的新幹線因颱風停運了一天。

And we were informed that we'd have to take a separate detour train and then transfer if we wanted to go to Nagoya.

我們還被告知，如果想去名古屋，就必須另乘繞行列車，然後再轉車。

Also, since it's all booked, it'll be standing room only.

此外，由於已全部訂滿，所以只能站著觀看。

In addition to that, your transfer train currently has no seats available, so you'll be on standby, which means you might not be able to ride.

此外，您的換乘列車目前沒有座位，是以您將處於候補狀態，這意味著您可能無法乘坐。

So I can't guarantee that you'll even make it to Nagoya today.

所以我不能保證你今天一定能到名古屋。

OK, so a bullet train that would have normally taken just an hour and a half was now going to take around four or six hours, and we couldn't risk the possibility of getting stranded at our transfer station.

好吧，通常只需一個半小時的子彈頭列車現在要花費大約四、六個小時，我們不能冒險在換乘站滯留。

So with the available routes and timing, we quickly decided that our best bet was to try and grab a taxi from our transfer station so we have a chance to make it on time to one of our scheduled activities, because we realized the Sailor Moon exhibit closes an hour early today, being that it was the last day.

是以，根據現有的路線和時間，我們很快就決定，最好的辦法就是從換乘站搭乘計程車，這樣我們就有機會準時參加預定的活動，因為我們意識到今天是最後一天，美少女戰士展覽將提前一小時關閉。

So we'd have to sacrifice Jubilee Park and try our best to go to the Sailor Moon exhibit.

是以，我們不得不犧牲朱庇利公園，盡力去看美少女戰士展覽。

And with the current timing, we'd have a chance to make it with at least an hour or two to spare.

按照目前的時間安排，我們至少還有一兩個小時的時間。

And as soon as we were done, we could take a 50 minute bullet train to Shinosaka to check into our hotel.

一結束行程，我們就可以乘坐 50 分鐘的新幹線前往筱坂，入住酒店。

Did I mention that my rosacea can get triggered by stress?

我有沒有說過我的紅斑痤瘡會因壓力而誘發？

Even though realistically, I don't think there's anything I could have really done about the typhoon, I still felt really bad and like I was at fault because I'd never experienced this kind of bad luck with the Shinkansen before.

儘管從現實情況來看，我覺得我對臺風真的無能為力，但我還是感覺非常糟糕，覺得自己有錯在先，因為我以前從未在新幹線上經歷過這種厄運。

But Jacob and Jaden were really nice about it.

但雅各布和傑登對此非常友好。

And luckily, we made it to the Sailor Moon museum on time with just an hour to spare and the rest of the trip to Shinosaka went fine.

幸運的是，我們只用了一個小時就準時到達了美少女戰士博物館，接下來的筱坂之行也很順利。

But the typhoon really messed up our plans for the day and made it 10 times more exhausting.

但颱風真的打亂了我們當天的計劃，讓我們的行程變得更加疲憊。

The moral of the story is if you're traveling to Japan in the summer, remember to stay hydrated, carry a UV umbrella and wear breezy and comfortable clothing and keep your schedule flexible for unexpected weather changes.

寓意是，如果您在夏季前往日本旅行，請記得補充水分，攜帶防紫外線傘，穿著輕便舒適的衣服，並靈活安排您的行程，以應對意外的天氣變化。

The moral of the story is pick a different season if you can help it.

這個故事的寓意是，如果可以的話，選擇不同的季節。

All jokes aside, if you still want to plan your trip for the summer, don't let me stop you from having a good time.

玩笑歸玩笑，如果你還想計劃夏天的旅行，別讓我阻止你享受美好時光。

It's not impossible to have a fun and fulfilling trip during the summertime.

要想在夏季度過一個愉快而充實的旅行，並非不可能。

I'm just sharing my own thoughts as someone who has trouble with the heat and humidity, both physically and mentally.

我只是分享一下自己的想法，因為我在身體和精神上都難以承受炎熱和潮溼的天氣。
