and we're off this week for the fourth of July

因為七月四號的關係我們這禮拜休假

to wish everyone a happy independence day

來祝福大家有一個美好的國慶日

or they call it where I'm from July the fourth and that's it

或是我的國家稱之為七月的第四天

I do hope you have a great day of resting , barbecuing

希望你們都能在這天好好的休息，烤肉

and preparing to explain your weird tan lines to your coworkers on Tuesday

和在星期二的時候，向同事解釋你怪異的曬痕

I fell asleep outside with my hat on backwards

我在外面睡著了而且我還反戴我的帽子

所以我的額頭現在看起來像日落

to remind you of what's you're missing out on by celebrating your independence

就如同你們所知道的，從1776年開始

你們獨立變成了一個國家，這很棒

just a handful of things that you gave up

when kicking Britain on ceremoniously out of this country

當你們隆重的把英國踢出你們的國家

because first there's the matter of your accents

these beautiful vowel sounds could have been yours

我們發出的這美麗的母音，原本你們也該要會的

you speak like you just burn your tongue on a hot apple pie

你們的口音聽起來像你們在吃蘋果派的時候燙到舌頭

and that is not even mentioning all the cuisine that you lost

meat pies which a lot like British people themselves

a hardened outer layer gives the impression of composure

but the thing that American are really missing out on is pessimism

但說真的，美國人真正缺乏的是悲觀主義

whereas in Britain we are painfully aware of our limits

反之，英國人費力地察覺自己的極限

in fact just look at the British sky itself

even the sun is incapable of asserting itself there

就連太陽也沒辦法穿透那長年烏雲密布的天空啊

British people never make the mistake on developing self esteem

because no matter what we achieved deep down

we know we'll never be as good as the queen

一個靠著皺眉維生的老女人，還能指望什麼呢？

honestly you're probably way better of the way the things are

事情其實可能發展得比你想像中來得好

到時候在七月二十四號會有一個新的影片
