Today we have an interesting subject to talk about.

過去簡單式

This is actually one of the biggest things I had a culture shock about

老實說這是我第一次到日本來時 所受到的最大的文化衝擊之一

Yes, because I'd never heard of it before I got here!

有！因為我在來這兒之前從來沒有聽說過

I watched so many YouTube videos about Japan before I came here.

我來這裡之前在YouTube上看過一大堆關於日本的影片

But apparently, something that's a really big thing here about attractiveness

但顯然在這裡，談到外表魅力，有一個因素非常重要

Yeah, they say face, but they're actually talking about the size of your head.

對，人們說臉，實際上指的是頭的大小

Japanese people will say, "Oh, you have such a small face!"

日本人會說「哇，妳的臉好小！」

It's really good here to have a small face, or a small head,

在這裡有張小臉，或者說小頭，很吃香

and it's not so good to have a- -Huge head. -...larger head.

And that's a real thing. This a real, nationwide,

everyone-in-Japan-knows-about-it thing here.

This isn't one of those trendy "HURR JAPAN'S BEING SO WEIRD RIGHT NOW"

這不是時下流行的那種「『哇嗚日本超詭異的』 但實際上在日本只有少部分人在做」的事情之一

"But actually only a dozen people are doing it!" things.

Like whenever you go out shopping, you get comments like "KAO CHISSA!"

例如每次妳出門買東西，人家都說「KAO CHISSA !」

which means like "UAGHH HER FACE IS SO SMALL!"

對，意思是「哇妳的臉好小！」

You guys might be really confused. I'll try my best to explain it.

你們大家可能會覺得困惑，我會盡我所能試著解釋

In general, and I don't know how far this extends,

一般來說，我不知道這適用範圍到哪，

like I don't know if it's all East Asians,

我不知道是否東亞的情況都類似

but Japanese people tend to have larger sized heads

相較於西方人，日本人的頭佔身體的比例， 有比較大的趨勢

in proportion to the size of their body, compared to Westerners.

When I went to America, everyone seemed to have smaller faces.

嗯沒錯，我去美國時，感覺人們的臉似乎比較小

Well, I did look up some research on this.

But when you get on Google Scholar or Google and you start trying to look up

但當你用 Google Scholar 或 Google 試著查詢 不同人種間頭的尺寸大小的科學論文時

scientific articles on the size of heads compared to races,

you get a lot of people trying to prove that certain races have naturally higher IQs

你會發現很多人試圖證明某些特定人種的智商較高

than other races because they have larger brains and cranial capacities.

因為他們的大腦和顱內的空間比較大

噢，因為他們有比較大顆的腦袋 ?

And I did not get a good feeling from those articles so I don't know if I trust them.

我讀那些文章時的感覺沒有太好， 所以我不確定是否要相信那些

But almost all of them did end up saying that East Asians had the largest head size.

不過他們在最後幾乎都會提到東亞人的頭的尺寸最大

Yeah, they looked at cranial capacity, so I think that's like the

嗯，他們看的是顱內容量大小，我想那應該像是 你的頭內能夠容納大腦的所有空間

overall volume inside where you could have brain space.

And I have to warn our Japanese viewers watching this!

然後我得警告正在收看這部影片的日本朋友

Do NOT go to America and say, "Ugh I have such a big head."

不要跑去美國說「嘿我有大頭」 (I have such a big head.)

Because that has a completely different meaning!

If you're talking about the size of your "head", you're referring to something else.

你如果提起「頭」的大小，我們會以為你指的是其他頭

So don't talk about the size of your head in America.

So I think the average was 57 centimeters.

57 centimeters? Head size? Do you want me to measure your head?

Oh really? So it's a little above average.

Oh, average male Japanese head size. Yep, I looked it up. Yep.

噢，日本男性平均，頭的尺寸 ( Jun：嗯，我有查過。嗯沒錯。)

No, I'm not embarrassed at all. I don't care anymore.

我並不會覺得不好意思，我完全不在意

So your head is... 5.5 cm bigger than you.

You're just slightly above average, and I'm a little below average.

你比平均值大一點，而我稍微低於平均值

But I'm also a lot taller than Japanese women.

Okay. Look into the camera. Okay. Let's compare.

「好啊」、「看鏡頭」、「好，來比吧」

You need to know how small your head is. It's freaking tiny.

妳需要瞭解一下自己的臉有多小，真的超級小

If I had a larger face, would you still have been attracted to me?

如果我的臉沒那麼小，你一樣會被我吸引嗎 ?

Okay well I don't care about your face size.

Some Japanese people who have the smaller, Western-sized heads,

有些臉比較小、接近西方尺寸的日本人

They're considered to have very attractive head sizes.

Yeah, people like that often tend to be like models or actors or actresses

沒錯，這些人通常會去做模特兒或男女演員

because they have such an attractive head size.

The first time I came to Japan, that's when I learned about this head size/face size thing.

我第一次到日本來的時候， 我就是在那個時候得知頭/臉大小的事
