大家好!今天我们要聊聊——以前我们没做过的一些事情,现在在日本却都做上了。对,好的,所以有一件事
我们来到日本后才开始做的,因为每个人——都在这里这么做。是的。好吧,有一件事
我喜欢,但大多数外国人还是不太喜欢。——而且很多日本人也不喜欢,所以这甚至不是什么“哇~好日本”的事。我超爱蹲式马桶!我知道,不是很多人
so this isn't even like "ooo~ so Japanese".
I LOVE SQUAT TOILETS! I know, not many people
喜欢。不。也不是很多日本人喜欢。——因为一半时间我在排队等的时候,蹲式马桶一空开,队伍里的人
都会四处看看,说“您去吧”。就是这样。
我就是这样。我就会说“我去!”我爱它们!它们——非常方便快捷,而且你不用和别人
“亲密接触”。我不想坐在别人
坐过的座位上。这太……奇怪了。这让我觉得恶心。说的是,确实有点恶心。
所以我喜欢我不用碰到任何东西。一件我搬到日本后开始做的事情是——生病或者嗓子疼的时候戴白色医用口罩。
有时候甚至只是天气冷的时候,我也会戴上,因为呼出的热气——会暖暖你的脸。对。所以——如果我要骑自行车或者什么,我会戴上口罩,这样可以保护我的脸免受
Or sometimes even when it's just cold out
I'll wear it because the hot breath against
寒风侵袭。对!我很容易冻伤,
a mask on so I can protect my face from the
cold wind. Right! I get wind burn really easily
天气冷的时候,我的脸会变得——非常红,几乎像晒伤一样。所以它真的
有助于防止这种情况。是的,它们——很棒。我不太喜欢戴东西在脸上……但是第一年搬到这里的时候,我生病了
很多次,尤其是嗓子疼。
总是感冒伴随着嗓子疼。呼吸干燥的空气
或者冷空气真的很难受。所以我总是戴着口罩——因为它能暖暖我的空气,保持空气湿润
当我呼吸的时候,这样就不会那么难受了。我甚至在嗓子疼的时候——睡觉的时候也戴着,因为早上醒来嗓子干痒是最难受的。是的。我爱它们。所以这真的很方便。
go to sleep with one on when I had a sore
throat just because that's the worst, waking
up in the morning with a dry, scratchy throat.
Yeah. I love them. So that's really convenient.
但是当我回到加拿大,戴上口罩的时候——我在温哥华机场戴了一个,结果有人拦住我了。天哪,真的吗?——是那里的安保人员。他们问我“你为什么要戴口罩?你得的是传染病吗?”我说“不,这是日本的习惯!”
and someone actually stopped me. Omg, really?
The security there. They were like "Why are
“对不起,我摘下来。我不会杀了——你的。”这太尴尬了。是的。但是加拿大人
不戴口罩。是的。我甚至不记得——不觉得它们正常是什么感觉了。对吧?但是,如果我在美国,而且我从来没来过日本,我看到有人
don't wear them. Yeah. I don't even remember
what it's like not to think they're normal.
Right? But yeah, if I was in America again
and I had never come to Japan and I saw someone
戴着口罩,我会想……“哦,他们一定——有什么病……”“发生了什么事?”好吧,还有一件事改变了——我有时候还是会大声说话。
Okay, so, another thing that has changed is--
I still talk really loudly myself, sometimes.
但是当我坐火车的时候,我会很安静。现在我真的会——对那些在火车上大声说话的人感到恼火。天啊,别回到美国去。
on the train. Oh god, don't go back to America.
I know! If someone is not using their indoor
我知道!如果有人没有用室内——音量在火车上说话,我就会像看着Jun一样说“这些人太吵了!!”,就那样
瞪着他们,像公交车上的老古板婆婆一样。瞪着那些青少年。
我只想安静地享受我的火车旅程!是的,——这太好笑了。你会习惯一些以前不会困扰你的事情。我知道。——还有一件事我不再做了……
that that didn't used to bother you. I know.
Another thing that I don't really do anymore...
我以前在美国也不是经常做。但是,在日本你比——在美国更需要打扮。人们不太在公共场合穿运动服。或者,女性几乎不化妆——出门。几乎没有?是的,她们会化一些——口红或者睫毛膏之类的,或者画眉毛。而在加拿大,我会穿着睡衣——出门。比如,如果我刚起床,想走几条街去奶奶家,我真的会直接穿睡衣
in America. People don't really wear sweats
out in public. Or, women don't go out with
makeup... hardly ever? Yeah, they'll put SOMETHING
on. Lipstick or mascara or something. Or draw
their eyebrows on. Whereas in Canada I'd go
outside in my sweats. Like if I just woke
和不化妆出门。但是在日本,人们觉得即使只是——走很短的距离也需要穿正装。对。所以这
away, I'll literally just wear my pajamas
and no makeup. But in Japan people feel the
也改变了。当我回到加拿大的时候,我仍然——会做加拿大人做的事情。我就会说“哦,终于!”我可以到处穿运动服了!——我有时候还是会在公共场合不化妆,因为我觉得我没有化妆也没什么大不了。但是我会穿正常的衣服。我不会在这里穿睡衣出门。——我会觉得很尴尬。我在美国穿睡衣出门的时候也——会觉得尴尬,但是如果是深夜或者我生病了,我会说“我不在乎。我生病了。——我要穿睡衣出门。我想做什么就做什么。”在这里我不会那样做。——是的。我会觉得很尴尬。而且为了平衡一下:还有一些我们——在日本还没有适应的事情。比如,日本在女孩的衣服上非常可爱,有很多蝴蝶结、蕾丝和
kind of changed. When I'm back in Canada I
still do the Canadian stuff, though. I'm like
"Oh, finally!" I can just wear my sweats everywhere!
I still go without makeup sometimes out in
public here because I don't feel like I'm
THAT bad without makeup. But I do wear normal
clothes. I wouldn't go out in pajamas here.
I'd feel really embarrassed. I mean, I felt
embarrassed in America going out in pajamas,
but if it was late at night or I was sick
I would just be like, "I DON'T CARE. I'M SICK.
I'M GOING TO WEAR MY PAJAMAS OUTSIDE. I'LL
DO WHAT I WANT." Here I wouldn't do that.
Yeah. I'd feel really awkward. And just to
kind of balance this out a little bit: a couple
things that we HAVEN'T adapted to being here
in Japan. Like Japan is very cutesy when it
comes to girls' clothes. Bows and lace and
褶皱。是的,而且宽松、蓬松,一点也不合身。我喜欢合身的衣服。
一样。我觉得那些更能衬托我们的身材。我们有曲线,如果你加上宽松的衣服,看起来就不好看了。它看起来在日本女孩身上非常可爱,我知道我尊重每个人想穿的风格。但是——我不喜欢看起来很可爱。所以我不会化大浓妆或者什么。我坚持——西方的猫眼妆、眼线。我喜欢紧身裤。比如大腿袜。是的,有一些日本时尚的东西是我真的很喜欢的。但是——就是不喜欢那种超级可爱的风格。一件我还没有适应的日本事情是——每顿饭都吃米饭。哦是的。
to that it doesn't look good. It looks REALLY
cute on Japanese girls and you know I'm cool
with whatever style people want to wear. But
I don't like looking cutesy. So I don't do
big cutesy eye makeup or anything. I stick
with Western cat eye, winged eye. I do like
the tights. Like the thigh-high tights. Yeah,
there are some Japanese fashion things that
I've incorporated that I really like. But
just not the super cutesy stuff. One Japanese
thing that I haven't really adapted to would
be eating rice with EVERY. MEAL. Oh yeah.
比如我和我的日本朋友一起出去玩,“你想吃什么午饭?”我就会说“哦,我们去咖啡馆随便吃点三明治和沙拉吧。我不是很——饿。”但是他们会吃这些,然后说“如果没米饭,我就觉得这不是一顿饭。”就像不算——一顿饭一样。我经常听到这种说法。你可以通过其他东西吃饱。
lunch?" And I'll just be like "Oh, let's go
grab something small like a sandwich and a
salad at a cafe or something. I'm not really
that hungry." But they'll eat that and they'll
be like "Oh I don't feel like it's food if
it doesn't have rice." Like it doesn't count
不一定非要米饭!他们有一种观念,你需要米饭才能——吃饱。当我们去印度尼西亚旅行的时候,Jun非常兴奋,因为他们吃了很多米饭。所以他说“我终于找到一个可以吃米饭的地方了!”他想念在美国的时候。我们必须买一个电饭煲——给他,这样他就可以在吃饭的时候吃米饭了。因为他真的很想念它。我完全理解。如果你从小就习惯了某种东西,你就会习惯它。就像我——从小就吃披萨。这可能就像面包一样。对。如果我突然不能吃——任何面包,我可能会很生气。或者可能就像我们对谷物一样。是的。还有一件事我有点固执己见——在日本,日本人总是倒车进入停车位。是的,就像90%
It doesn't have to be rice! They have this
mindset that you need the rice to get filled
up. When we travel, Jun was so excited when
we went to Indonesia because they ate a lot
of rice. And so he was like "I'm finally somewhere
where I can get my rice!" He misses it when
we're in America. We had to get a rice cooker
when he's there so he can eat rice with his
meals. Because he really misses it. And I
totally understand that. If you grow up with
something then you get used to it. Like I
grew up with pizza. That's probably like bread.
Right. If I all of a sudden couldn't have
any bread, I'd probably be pretty pissed.
Or maybe it's like us with cereal. Yeah. Another
thing that I am a little ridiculously opinionated
about in Japan is Japanese people back into
parking spaces. Like always. Yeah, like 90%
的时间一样。不,甚至不是90%。就像100%。——我几乎从来没有见过有人直接开进停车位。而且我得到的解释是,“倒车出去更方便”或者“倒车出去更安全,这样我可以看到,不会——撞到小孩子。”好吧,你知道吗?在美国,我倒车出所有停车位,而且我没有倒车影像,我从来没有——撞到过小孩子。但是,你倒车进入停车位的时候,难道不会撞到孩子吗?这实际上——是一样的。你无论如何都要倒车。你不是要倒车进入,就是倒车出去。是的,我一直觉得这很荒谬。我知道!而且——让我恼火的是,倒车进入停车位比倒车出去停车位需要更多的努力,因为它的空间更小。所以你花更多的时间——倒车进入停车位。所以最终花费的时间更多。如果谈到效率,——这种说法不成立。我对这件事非常固执己见。如果你不同意我们,请在评论区留下你的理由。为什么你应该倒车进入停车位。Jun——总是这样做。每次他都倒车进入停车位。除了极少数情况下,他会直接开进去,然后他会——向我宣布,因为这太不寻常了。他说“RACHEL我直接开进停车位了!”
into a parking space. It's very rare. If you
go to a parking lot, almost everyone has backed
into the parking space. And the reasons I
get for this is, "It's more convenient when
I want to pull out" or "It's safer when I
want to pull out so I can see and I don't
run over any little kids." Well you know what?
In America I backed out of all my parking
spaces and I don't even have the little camera
and I've never run over a little child. But
like you could be running over the kids when
you're backing into it? It's literally the
same thing. You have to back in one way or
the other. You're either going to back in
or you're going to back out. Yeah, I've always
found that really ridiculous. I know! And
what gets me about it is it takes MORE EFFORT
to back into a parking space because it's
a smaller area than it takes to back out of
a parking space. So you are spending more
time backing into a parking space than you
would be backing out. So it takes you more
time in the end. If you're talking about efficiency,
that argument does not work. I am very absurdly
opinionated about this. Leave your arguments
in the comments if you disagree with us. Why
you should back into a parking space. Jun
does it all the time. Every single time he
backs into a parking space. Except on the
very rare occasion he'll pull in, and he'll
announce it to me because it's so unusual.
He's like "RACHEL I PULLED INTO A SPACE!"
我就会说“是的!”天哪。这就是我们的生活。这就是我们生活的方式。好了,所以这些就是我们知道我们已经在日本待太久的方式,还有一些我们——在日本没有做的事情。感谢观看!——再见!
ways that we know we've been in Japan too
long, and also a couple of things that we
don't do here in Japan. Thank you for watching!
Bye!
