Today let's talk about

今天要來跟大家討論一下

periods!

生理期

Hello everyone!

哈囉大家

Welcome back to our channel.

歡迎回到我們的頻道

Today we're gonna talk about

今天要跟大家討論的是

something that girls are really familiar with,

女生們都再熟悉不過

and also despise,

並且痛恨的事情

which is your period!

也就是生理期！

This is something that we girls go through every month.

這個我們女生每一個月都一定會碰到的事情

So it doesn't make sense not to know some of the vocabulary.

不多瞭解一下它的英文

And for the boys, don't click out of the video just yet.

真的是說不過去

If you understand more about this topic,

男生們也不要急著轉臺

you'll be able to help your female friends when they're in need.

多了解這方面的事情

They'll think you're sweet and heartwarming!

在你身邊的女性們需要的時候

Today's video will also be an English Corner.

會顯得更很貼心又暖喔！

If you would like to watch with Chinese and English subtitles,

今天這一集也會是全英文的影片喔！

所以如果你想要看到

We'll put the links in the description box below.

to turn on the English subtitles!

那如果你想要待在 YouTube 上面看的話

Yes, it is “that time of the month” again.

不要忘記要把 CC 字幕打開喔

For girls, we seriously couldn’t wait to get it over with.

這樣你才能看到英文的字幕喔

There are days every month

沒錯，又到了每個月的那個時候了

when we feel especially weak or uncomfortable

對女生來說，我們真的恨不得這幾天趕快結束

because we are having our period.

每個月都會有幾天

As for boys, like I’ve said,

我們感到特別虛弱或不舒服

you might think this video is meant for girls only,

這是因為我們正值生理期

but that is entirely not true.

而男生們，正如我前面提到的

Knowing these knowledge would definitely come in handy

別以為這部影片只是給女生看的

when your girlfriend, sisters, or friends need help.

但完全不是這樣的

When we say period,

當你的女朋友、姐妹或朋友需要幫忙時

we are talking about the monthly cycle that girls go through

了解一下這些資訊一定會有幫助的

when they enter puberty

我們所稱的「生理期」

and each cycle normally lasts three to five days.

指的是女生自青春期開始

The formal name for “period” is actually menstruation.

每個月都會經歷的月經週期

Or, at other times, you will often hear MC

每次大概會流三到五天的血

which is short for “menstrual cycle”

「那個來」(period) 的正式說法其實是「月經」(menstruation)

Sanitary products are a must during a girl’s period.

有些人也會說 MC

And of course,

這是

everyone has their own preferences in choosing them.

"menstrual cycle" 的簡稱

Even girls can get confused about what products they can use,

生理期最重要的就是各種衛生用品

not to mention boys…

當然

Got these stuff

每個女生在挑選時都有自己的喜好

which one do you need?

連女生都能被這些衛生用品搞得一頭霧水

Ugh...just give me the pad.

更別說男生了

The pad?

東西在這了！

Uhh…this one?

妳需要哪一個？

No! That’s a screwdriver!

呃⋯給我衛生棉就好了

The pad! It’s right there!

衛生棉？

So as you can see,

呃，這個嗎？

there’s a ton of different sanitary products.

不是啦！那是螺絲起子！

Let’s go down the list.

衛生棉！！！就在那啊！

First,

如你所見

sanitary napkins are the most commonly seen sanitary product

有非常非常多種衛生用品

in convenience stores,

來看看有什麼吧！

retailers, pharmacies, and supermarkets.

首先

However, more and more people are turning to tampons

衛生棉是最常見的衛生用品

because they make engaging in outdoor activities

除了便利商店

more convenient and comfortable.

零售商、藥局、超級市場都有

At the beginning and the end of the menstrual cycle

不過現在有越來越多人開始使用衛生棉條

some girls would prefer pantyliners

棉條能讓戶外活動

because they are thinner

變得比較方便，女生也會比較舒服

and are more suitable for less discharge of blood.

在月經的一開始和結束前

Another trending choice right now would be the so-called

有些女生習慣使用護墊

menstrual cup.

它們比較薄

Personally, I have zero experience with that.

適合血流量少的時候使用

But I know that it’s basically a small vessel used to store blood.

另一個最近很夯的產品是

I have a friend who wrote a blog about

月亮杯

using the menstrual cup for the first time.

我個人沒有使用過

And ever since I saw that,

但基本上，它就是個用來盛裝血的容器

No.

我有個朋友寫了一篇部落格文章

I mentioned at the beginning of the video

就是關於第一次使用月亮杯的經驗

that girls usually feel weak and uncomfortable

自從我看了之後⋯⋯

during their periods.

絕不！

The main reason is because most of the time,

在影片的一開始我有提到

girls get menstrual pain.

女生在月經來潮時

Oh my God…

常常會體虛或不舒服

Oh...

主要是因為

Simply put,

女生會有生理痛

it’s like having random cramps

喔我的天⋯⋯

near the area of your lower abdomen.

喔喔喔喔⋯⋯

And because having your period means discharging blood,

簡單說

some girls would even feel dizzy due to anemia

就像是在肚子下半部

Many even look pale until their period is over for the month.

一直有無預警的絞痛那樣

I remember back in university,

也因為生理期會不斷的流血

I had a friend who suffers from super severe menstrual pain.

有些女生會因為貧血感到頭暈

There was this one time,

很多女生甚至會臉色慘白直到月經結束

she was so weak she couldn’t even walk.

我記得大學時

So I piggybacked her from our English department

我有個朋友受超級嚴重的經痛所苦

to the front gate of the school.

有一次

And we waited at the front gate for her dad

她虛弱到完全不能走路

to come and take her home.

所以我就從英文系辦把她背到

I was super worried that time,

學校大門

but thinking back,

在門口一起等她爸爸

it was a very fond memory.

來接她回家

As for me,

我當時超擔心她

most of the time I'm not the kind of person

但回想起來

who would get severe cramps or pain.

這其實是個滿好的回憶

Normally, the first sign of my period nearing,

我個人

is that I would have acne.

其實不是那種

I would easily grow pimples on my chin, my forehead

會經痛很厲害的人

and two sides of my nose.

通常我的第一個月經快來的徵兆是

And also, what bothers me a lot,

長痘痘

and I believe a lot of girls feel me,

我很容易長痘痘的地方包括下巴、額頭

is edema.

和鼻子兩側

Wow, that sounds like such a big word

還有一個讓我很煩的是

but simply, it means that your body is in poor circulation

——很多女生一定也心有戚戚焉——

and it manifests swellings in different parts of your body.

水腫！

So basically you get fat and you get ugly.

哇，聽起來像很難的一個字對吧

True story.

但其實，意思是你的身體因為循環很差

Aside from that,

會出現各種腫脹

I also tend to experience mood swings during my period,

所以月經來就是會變胖又變醜

which means I get emotional very easily.

是真的

For example,

除此之外

I’d get hot-tempered and feel like the world owes me.

我還會情緒波動很大

Anything and everything would get on my nerves,

也就是說，我很容易有情緒化的表現

and I think that everyone is

舉例來說

in my way.

我會很易怒，好像全世界都欠我什麼似的

Or, I’d feel particularly weepy

所有的事情都能惹我生氣

and I’d listen to sad songs and cry.

每個人都故意要

Yep, scary, huh?

跟我過不去

Why am I so emotional?

或我會特別容易難過

Going through that particular time of the month

我會整天聽悲歌然後大哭

can be tough sometimes.

很恐怖吧？

So, tips for the girls:

（為什麼我這麼情緒化？）

First, stay away from iced products.

這段期間

I know it’s hard,

有時候真的滿痛苦的

especially if you love bubble milk tea and ice cream

來告訴女生一些小忠告

as much as I do.

首先，遠離冰品！

Second,

我知道很難

wear comfortable clothings and keep yourself warm.

尤其是妳如果像我一樣

Third, when you feel uncomfortable,

很愛喝珍奶和吃冰淇淋

try and see if you can make yourself a cup of hot brown sugar water,

第二

and don’t eat too much chocolate.

穿舒適的衣服和注意保暖

And last of all,

三，當你不太舒服時

Tip for the boys:

試著去泡一杯

Shower us with love and care,

熱的黑糖水

be sensitive, and...

然後記得別吃太多巧克力

bear with us?

最後

Please?

一個給男生的忠告

That’s it for today.

請給女生們無限的愛和關懷

I hope everyone would get to know more about menstruation.

細心一點，然後⋯⋯

What other tips do you have to make you feel better

忍耐我們

during that time of the month?

拜託～
