Description: 異國戀的感覺是什麼？今天 Jeffery 要來解開一般人對異國戀的迷思！以前總是覺得跨種族戀愛 (Interracial Relationship) 很酷、很潮，但其實有很多問題需要兩人一起克服、磨合，來聽聽 Jeffery 是怎麼說的吧！ 1ethnicity0:05 ethnicity 是「種族」的名詞，也常常聽到...

過去進行式

So, I was browsing the internet with my friends the other day

我前幾天和一些朋友上網逛了一下

過去簡單式

And apparently some survey showed that amongst all ethnicities...

發現有一些問卷結果指出，在所有種族中

asian men are the least desired race when it comes to interracial dating in America.

亞洲男人在美洲的跨種族戀情中是最居劣勢的

Pst! It's cool. I mean, that didn't affect my self-confidence or anything.

嘖！好啊沒關係，我是說 … 這數據並沒有影響我的自信或其他事情

But because of that, now some of my friends are 110% convinced  that I'll be marrying an asian girl.

但因為這樣，我的一些朋友現在百分之兩百相信我一定會娶亞洲人當老婆

Which don't get me wrong, I love Asian women.

但是不要誤會我，我確實很喜歡亞洲女生

But because I live in Canada, which is a very multi-cultural country,

但因為我住在加拿大，一個非常多元化的國家

I've also been really attracted to black, brown and white girls before.

我之前也曾經被黑色皮膚、棕色皮膚和白色皮膚女孩吸引過

So yeah, I can't say, I have an ideal type

所以我不能說我有明確的理想型

and I would hate to feel like I shouldn't approach a girl that I like just because statistics say so.

而且我也很討厭就因為數據上顯示我們無緣，就放棄追求我心上人的感覺

On the contrary , if there is a mix of race and culture in a relationship,

相反地，若有一段種族文化相異的戀情發生

because it just shows that when it comes to love, there really isn't (aren't) any rules.

因為這代表了愛情裡是沒有常規可循的

I mean, obviously not from the same descent,

而且你們的文化背景一定也很不同

but it's just so beautiful to see you two together!

但看到你們兩個在一起，真的是很賞心悅目

Yeah, that's not what I was really thinking, but you, you get the point, right?

好啦，那個不是我真的在講的例子，但你們懂我要表達的意思吧！

Like most Asian parents, my dad would like me to eventually get an Asian wife.

我爸就像大部分的亞洲家長，他希望我能夠娶個亞洲人當老婆

but the only reason is that, he's worried, there could be a language barrier,

但他們擔心的只是語言隔閡罷了！

I'm sure my dad would love to have conversations with my future girlfriend.

我相信我爸也很希望能和我未來的女朋友聊天

Yeah, I mean, it'd be unfortunate if nobody put an effort in communicating.

我覺得如果沒有人為了溝通而努力是件很可惜的事

The truth is, a lot of my cousins are actually interracial babies,

事實上，我的很多表親都是混血兒

and honestly they're, they're just normal, cool people.

At the end of the day, I think it's a beautiful thing, that each culture is unique in their own way.

到頭來，其實我覺得每個文化美的地方就是在於他們都有自己特殊的點

you can, because guess who's still single!

Anyways, I hope you also think that love shouldn't be defined by stereotypes or statistics.

不管怎樣，我希望你們也覺得愛情是不該被刻板印象或是數據限制的

Thank you guys so much for watching. I'll see you guys very soon.

感謝你們的觀看。我們下次再見

This is JeffreyFever and I'm pressing the record button.

我是 Jeffrey Fever，影片就到這裡結束了

呃，真不知道我的表親們是怎麼嚥下去的

This is so good! Okay, I think we got it.
