This is a video about why you should not come to Japan.

這是一支關於為什麼你不應該來日本的影片。

That being said, that's not to discourage you to come to Japan.

說了這些，並不是要阻止你來日本。

to 不定詞

It's more that I'd like to offer what my experience would be, bad reasons to come, pitfalls that you may have, and

更像是我想分享我的經驗，像是來日本的壞理由、你可能會遇到的陷阱，

then ultimately to share what I think are good reasons to come over, and

然後最終分享我認為來日本的好理由，

then to encourage you to do so in that context.

然後在那個情況下鼓勵你這麼做。

So the first thing that I could talk about is this idea of escapism.

所以我首先可以談談的是「逃避主義」這個概念。

So escapism in itself is not a wholly good or bad thing.

逃避主義本身並不是一件全然好或壞的事。

It's just how we exercise that experience.

只是我們如何去實踐這種體驗。

I love to escape through books, I love to escape through games, I like to escape through movies.

我喜歡透過書本來逃避，我喜歡透過遊戲來逃避，我喜歡透過電影來逃避。

All these different ways that if I'm feeling incredibly stressed out by whatever it is that I've been going through, I partake of that activity and I feel much, much better after the fact.

這些不同的方式，當我因為正在經歷的任何事情而感到壓力山大時，我會參與這些活動，事後感覺好多了。

But if you were then to apply this escapism to the idea that you could achieve that by going to another country, you're going to get a rude awakening as a result of that.

但如果你要把這種逃避主義應用到透過去另一個國家來達成這個想法，你就會是以得到嚴酷的現實。

So I could then go on to talk about people, for example, who have anxiety in whatever home country that they live in, people that hate the social customs that are there, people who hate the job that they find themselves in.

所以我可以接著談談，例如，那些在家鄉感到焦慮的人，討厭那裡的社會習俗的人，討厭他們工作的那些人。

If you were to come over to Japan and you're anxious, well, just imagine being in a place where you don't speak the language that well.

如果你來到日本卻感到焦慮，嗯，想像一下身處一個你語言不太通的地方。

If you were frustrated by your social customs, try living in a place where you don't know all the social customs.

如果你對你的社會習俗感到沮喪，試試看住在一個你不瞭解所有社會習俗的地方。

Anything that was already something that you were struggling with, well, come to Japan and then it's going to be so, so much worse.

任何你已經在掙扎的事情，來到日本之後，情況只會變得更糟，糟很多。

And if that's the reason that you're coming, stop, don't do it.

如果這就是你來的理由，停下來，別這麼做。

You want to have these things sorted out beforehand.

你應該事先把這些事情處理好。

The way that I could talk about this is in light of underlying humanity.

我講這個的角度，是從人性的本質來看。

So it's, it's just that simple concept of that horrible people and wonderful people and great jobs and bad jobs and good job or good customs and bad customs exist no matter where you go on this planet.

所以，就是這麼簡單的概念，世界上無論你到哪裡，都有壞人跟好人，有爛工作跟好工作，有好的社會習俗跟壞的社會習俗。

And so if you were coming over to Japan and you think the idea is that I'll just get away from all of these nasty people, sure, you're going to meet a lot of wonderful people when you come to Japan.

所以如果你是想來日本，覺得這樣就可以擺脫那些討厭的人，當然，你來日本會遇到很多很棒的人。

I actually, just as I was recording this video, I'm re recording it now, I was stopped by a woman in the park who asked if she could practice her English with me.

其實，就在我錄這支影片的時候，我現在重錄，我遇到一位女士在公園，她問我能不能跟她練習英文。

Tons of great people here, but just as much I've come over and I've had horrible experiences.

這裡有很多很棒的人，但同樣地，我也遇過很糟糕的經驗。

I just made a video recently where my fiance was working for a black company and they tried not to pay her for a half a year's work.

我最近才做一支影片，我未婚妻在一家血汗公司上班，他們試圖不付她半年來的薪水。

We won the first round and then they appealed it and we're actually getting a result back from that very, very soon.

我們贏了第一回合，然後他們上訴，我們很快就會收到結果了。

So that's just to make the point that whether it's the people, whether it's the jobs, you're going to find them here anyways.

所以這只是要說明，無論是人，還是工作，你都會在這裡遇到。

It's just a different flavor of that, that you'll find it.

這只是另一種你會在這裡遇到的情況。

So now we've talked about the negative reasons that you would come over.

所以我們剛剛討論了你可能會來這裡的負面原因。

Reasons, let's say, like the title of the video says that you should not come to Japan.

原因，就如同影片標題所說的，你不該來日本。

I think the best way, if you're going to give yourself the best chance of success in integrating and really enjoying your experience, is that if you look at Japan as a challenge, and

我認為最好的方式，如果你想讓自己有最大的機會融入並真正享受你的經驗，就是把日本當成一個挑戰，

it's a challenge that you want to undertake willingly.

So it turns all of these things that might have been a reason after some period of time that you would give up and you would retreat, they instead be.

這樣一來，那些原本可能讓你放棄、退縮的因素，反而會變成。

You would stay the course and you would face them and you would grow as a person.

你會堅持下去、面對它們，並讓你個人成長的原因。

So, like I said, to begin with, one of these things most easily is language.

所以，就像我說的，一開始，最容易遇到的其中一件事就是語言。

So if you come over here knowing the fact that that's going to be really difficult for you and you embrace it well, you're going to have really good experiences.

所以如果你來這裡，知道這對你來說會非常困難，並且你欣然接受它，你就會有很棒的經驗。

You're going to meet random, friendly Japanese people that want to practice their English with you, and

你會遇到許多友善的日本朋友，他們想跟你練習英文，

you're going to get a chance to practice your Japanese with them.

如果你心裡有意識地記住這件事。

I am probably going to have different challenges because these jobs I'm going to do, yeah, I want to do them, but

我可能會遇到不同的挑戰，因為這些工作我雖然想做，

they're going to be the first time that I ever do them.

It's all about knowing that you're not going to escape, and

這一切都是因為你知道你無法逃避，

instead you're just going to have a new set of problems.

反而你會有一套新的問題要面對。

But these are the problems that you want to.

但這些都是你想要解決的問題。

That you want to solve, that you want to be a part of.

這些是你想要解決、想要參與的。

And if you do that, then I think you'll have a really good experience rather than run from something that you can never escape.

如果你這樣做，我想你會有一段很棒的體驗，而不是逃避你永遠無法擺脫的事物。

There's a really good expression that says, you know, it's like your shadow the faster you run from it, the more quickly it chases you.

有句很棒的說法，你知道，就像你的影子一樣，你跑得越快，它追你追得越緊。

So those are the ideas that I wanted to share.

所以這些就是我想分享的想法。

I wonder if people came over, if they have come over so far.

我想知道大家有沒有過來，到目前為止有沒有人過來。

What were the challenges that you faced that you felt most satisfied by overcoming?

你所面對、並且覺得最有成就感的挑戰是什麼？

Or perhaps what was something that when you went abroad, you didn't realize was going to happen and then you still overcame it?

或者，當你出國時，有沒有什麼事情是你沒預料到會發生，但你還是克服了？

Anyways, the whole purpose of this video is to make something uplifting, though the title may at first not suggest that.

總之，這支影片的目的是要傳達一些讓人振奮的內容，雖然標題一開始可能看不出來。
