艾德丽安：罗布，跟我说说你为什么不喜欢大象吧。

Hi! I’ve lived in Spain and Japan and so I’m just going to talk about a few differences between the two countries that I’ve found. In, Spain, when you meet somebody you give them two kisses. First on the left and then on the right cheek, and in Japan there is definitely no public kissing at all, so that is definitely a faux pas, here. In Japan you just bow or you hand shake which is normal. In Spain, also the people are very caliente, which means they are very warm and very open and extremely loud, extremely loud. In fact, when I was living in my host family’s house, the first few months when my Spanish wasn’t the best, I thought my host mom was mad about everything. I thought she was just, I thought she was at the point of just leaving the entire household for good, and then when I realized what she was saying it was just, "When are you going to take out the dog?" but screaming this mind you, or,"Let’s do your homework!" or even just like, "Pass me the salt!" Everything screaming. Japan people are very quiet. They, definitely don’t scream about things like that….Um, the food, ah, Spanish food is the best in the world. I really like Japanese food, but Spanish food they use a lot of olive oil, a lot of beans, a lot of vegetables and fruit. It’s a Mediterranean diet and lots of fish but it’s heavier food. In Japan they also use, eat a lot of fish, but it’s lighter and rice and seaweed, ah, but Spanish food is the best. The best in the world, definitely.

嗨！我在西班牙和日本都生活过，因此我想谈谈我发现的这两个国家之间的不同之处。在西班牙，你见到某人的时候会和他们亲吻两次。先是亲左脸颊，然后是右脸颊，而在日本，完全没有公开的亲吻问候，所以那在这里绝对是失态的举动。在日本一般会鞠躬和握手。在西班牙，人们非常热情，意思是他们非常温暖、开放，而且声音很大，非常非常大。事实上，我住在接待家庭的时候，前几个月我的西班牙语说的不好的时候，我认为接待家庭的妈妈对所有事情都很疯狂。我认为她就像……我认为她马上会永远离开全家人，之后我才意识到她只是在说，“你什么时候要出去遛狗？”但会尖叫着让你注意，或是说“开始做作业吧！”或者只是“把盐拿给我！”每件事都在尖叫。日本人则安静地多。他们绝对不会对那些事尖叫……嗯，食物，西班牙菜是世界上最好的。我真的很喜欢日本菜，但是西班牙菜会大量使用橄榄油、豆类、蔬菜和水果。它属于地中海饮食，所以菜品会包括许多鱼类，而味道更重一些。日本菜通常也会做许多鱼类，他们也常吃鱼，但是味道更淡，而且会配米饭和紫菜，嗯，西班牙菜是最好的。绝对是世界上最好的。

Jeff: My name is Jeff Eagar and I’m 32 years old and I’m from Canada and most people in Canada are Christians, they’re Catholics or Protestants and my parents are Catholic but I’ve done a lot of traveling in my life and now I’m interested in the Buddhist religion, Buddhism. It’s a very peaceful religion and it has some philosophies that I believe in, for example, it talks about detachment. You should not get attached to money, or you shouldn’t get attached to fancy cars and fancy clothes. You should try to simplify your life and have as little as possible. Be comfortable but don’t have too much. Don’t have, don’t be excessive with what you have, and I believe in this philosophy.

杰夫：我叫杰夫·伊格，我今年32岁，来自加拿大，加拿大大多数人都是基督徒，基本他们都是天主教徒，或是清教徒，我父母就是天主教徒，而我去过许多地方旅行，所以我现在对佛教感兴趣。这是一个非常和平的宗教，它包含许多我相信的哲理，比如说，佛教追求超然。你不应该执着于金钱，你不应该执着于豪华汽车和奢华的衣服。你应该试图简化你的生活，尽可能的简化所拥有的东西。要过得舒适，但是不要拥有太多。不要过分追求要拥有的东西，我相信这个哲理。

Todd: Sarah, so what sports do you like?

托德：萨拉，你喜欢什么运动？

Todd: Hey, Shawn you’re a big guy.

托德：嗨，肖恩，你真是人高马大。

Jessica: So Kate what is, what’s this future trip? What are you gonna do next year?

杰西卡：凯特，你未来有什么旅行计划吗？你明年打算去哪儿？

One of the things that I really like about Japan is Japan has a really good train system. I take the train to work every morning and I take the train home every night. I like the trains because on the trains I can do what I want to do. I can read a book, read the newspaper, listen to music, study Japanese. Um, it’s really nice. I see my time on the train as my free-time, to do things that I like to do. Also, the train saves me a lot of money. In Japan it’s quite common for companies to pay for their employees train ticket, so I don’t have to pay for commuting to work. And because I get to take the train every day, I don’t need a car so I don’t have to for example pay for gas, car registration, car maintenance, things like that. Also, I don’t have to waste time for parking. Um, the worst thing about the trains is that they’re very crowded. Very, very crowded, and sometimes it’s hard to get a seat so you have to stand for a long time, and sometimes it smells a bit, but overall I like the trains and I’m really, really fortunate that Japan has such a good system.

我最喜欢日本的一点就是日本拥有非常好的列车系统。我每天早上坐列车去上班，每天晚上坐列车回家。我非常喜欢列车，因为在列车上我可以做我想做的任何事。我可以看书，看报，听音乐，学习日语。嗯，这非常好。我把在列车上的时间看作是我的自由时间，用来做我想做的事情。当然列车也为我节省了不少钱。在日本，公司通常会为员工报销车票，所以我不必为上下班的路费花钱。因为我每天都坐列车，所以我不需要买车，我也不必花钱去加油、进行车辆登记、车辆维护等类似的事情。当然，我也不会把时间浪费在停车上。嗯，列车最糟糕的一点是非常拥挤。非常非常拥挤，有时很难有坐位，所以必须要站很长时间，有时车厢里的味道有些难闻，不过总体来说，我喜欢列车，我非常非常幸运日本有这么好的一个系统。

Jessica: Ashley, when you went to Kenya did you do a safari?

杰西卡：阿什莉，你去肯尼亚的时候有去游猎吗？
