「求學的掙扎」（20-4-2017）

Ahhh~! Sweet release!

啊！最新鮮出爐的影片

I hope slurping doesn't become a thing for me...

希望吃東西的嘖嘖聲不會變成我的習慣

Good EVENING everyone!

各位晚上好

Basically, just to start things off,

我要馬上進入正題

I'm really STRESSED!

我真是非常苦惱！

I'm really friggin stressed out

苦惱得要命

I'm so stressed out that I just broke my phone

苦惱得摔爛自己的手機

outside while trying to get some coffee.

那是我在㚈面取咖啡的時候

So I have to get the screen fixed

所以我要把它拿去修理

since I can't use it now!

所以我現在不能用它了

Basically, I am really stressed out

真是煩死了

I have my first presentation

我要做第一次簡報了

and I want to take you guys along with me.

我想大家陪伴著我

As much as I can for another school vlog, type of thing!

我會盡力拍另一齣影片

But before we do all of that

但是在我們完成所有東西前

I first just have to get it ready

首先要預先準備

so let's try this out!

就讓我們試試吧！

Here are all the notes I made earlier on campus

這些都是我早前在校園抄下的筆記

that I need to turn into a powerpoint!

我要把它轉成 power point

I have a friend staying with me

我有一位朋友跟我住在一起

so I can't film in the morning - I don't want to wake them.

我不能在早上拍片 因為我不想吵醒他（她）

I don't have time to film tomorrow as is

但我明天沒有時間拍片

since a friend reminded me it's the last day to take the medical exam,

因為有朋友提醒我 那是最後一天做體檢

which is mandatory.

這是大學的規定

You have to get a certificate of health every year

每年我們都要拿健康證眀書

showing that you're a healthy student and safe to be on campus.

證明自己是健康的學生 對校園不會帶來安全威脅

So tomorrow, really early I have to run over there

所以明天我要一大清早跑過去

and get my entire body checked out

來一個全身的身體檢查

and then I have to start doing classes

然後上課

and back-to-back-to-backPACKED schedule!

課堂排得密密麻麻

And somehow in that time, this presentation is supposed to be done!

在這段期間 我會完成這個簡報

Which I'm totally not stressed about at all (*sarcasm*)

那個我毫不緊張的簡報 （自嘲）

I'm going to first get ready now

我會首先準備好

two days before, and try to get everything ready

做簡報的兩天前 我要準備好一切

and then tomorrow I just have to run through everything

到了明天 我會重温所有東西

and then the next day we're back to real time

到了後一日 這個時間再見

and I"ll try to show you as much again

我會再次盡可能告訴你

about my first presentation (JP: "happyo")

我上課的第一次簡報

in class, and let you know how that went.

讓你們知道簡報怎樣完成

The class is for Industry Analysis (JP: "Sangyo Bunseki")

這一課是工業分析

The teacher said we have to teach one class and gave us a list of articles to choose from.

老師需要我們任敎一堂 還要從一系列的文章挑選资料

So I don't know what possessed me but

我不知道自己著了什麼魔

I literally was like:

說了類似的話：

"I volunteer as tribute! Please take me first!"

「我為了表示敬意，請讓我首先出來！」

I volunteered to go first because

我主動第一個做簡報是因為

the person who goes first

誰人最先出來

gets first pick of which articles they present

可以最早選擇簡報的文章

and I wanted to make sure I did something easy

我要確保自己可以做一些容易的題目

but with my friend here and everything going on

但有朋友在這?和所有發生的事情

maybe that was a bad choice?

可能我選擇錯了？

I don't have time to work through my nerves but

我沒有時間平伏自己緊張的心情

we're going to do it anyway, right?

但是我還是要應付它，對不？

(I'm scared to present! SAVE ME!!!)

（我好害怕做簡報！救我啊！！）

"Good morning! Today's the day! AHH! Let's go!"

早晨！ 就是今天了！出發！

So, let's begin!

開始！

I'm going to kick off the first presentation for this semester!

我要開始這個學期的簡報

Hello, everyone~!!!

哈囉 你們好!！

Welcome back, it is night time AGAIN!

歡迎再來 又到晚上了！

I just got back from school

我剛剛從校園回來

and I'm getting ready to go out the door

而且就要出去

as you probably noticed by this video

你們看片時 或許會注意到

I have not been eating well at ALL recently

我最近不曾吃得好

so I want to have a nice, healthy snack

所以想吃些健康美味的小吃

before I hit the road again.

在我出㚈前吃完

So today I'm going to have...

今天我吃....

RAMEN!!!

拉麵!！

Maybe not healthy, after all!

雖然可能說不上健康食品

I hope I did this right!

但願我沒有做錯

You're supposed to dump all the water in

應該先加進水

Basically, you can strain the water out after you put it in

基本上 你加完水後 然後把它濾過

then you add the flavors

加進調味料

because it's a broth-less tantanmen noodle.

因為這是無湯擔擔麵

Hiroshima-style?

廣島式

It sounds good and I love tantanmen

看來不錯 而且我愛吃擔擔麵

so yeah, I have 3 minutes before this is ready

要等3分鐘才可以吃

and thought this is a good time to update you guys

正好利用來向大家報告

about how it went!

最新進展

So basically, this week was insane!

主要是我過的這個星期 簡直糟透了

I think I'm running off of about 6 hours of sleep

我只睡了6個鐘

over the last 72 hours (UGHhrhiearow~!)

在過去72小時期間

My eyes are starting to see like

我看東西時 開始覺得好像

different colored rings around things.

有不同的色彩光環 圍繞著那些東西

It's not good.

有點不妥

In terms of the actual presentation,

說到簡報

pubic speaking in Japanese

以日語作公開演講

is still, definitely hard for me.

我仍然覺得十分困難

I went through the whole presentation and that was fine

我仔細檢查過整個簡報都過得很順利

and at the end the teacher started giving some feedback

到了結尾時 老師開始給我一些回應

she had some really good criticism and feedback

一些很好的評語

and so I felt kind of... challenged??

但我覺得有點兒受到質疑?？

...should I say??

我是否應該這樣說?？

She basically was like,

她大概這樣說：

"You need to work on your professional Japanese"

「妳要努力學好正式日語。」

"You need to work on commanding a room and being more professional"

「妳要控制課堂的一切 還要表現得比較專業。」

and I was like: " GAMEEONNNN THEN~!!"

接著我好像說：「那麼遊戲開始！」

So I went back and redid some of the parts again

於是我回到原來的地方 重做部分的簡報

and while I was going asking like: "how's this? How about this?"

當我不斷提問 例如：「這樣如何？...」

Meanwhile, everyone else in the class is like: "what are you doinnggggg?!"

當時班上所有人都好像說：「妳現在做什麼？」

It's good, I was really nervous as first but

這樣也好 我本來很緊張

as soon as she challenged my Japanese

但當她質疑我的日語水平時

I was like: "OK, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!"

我想：「好吧，接受挑戰。」

and immediately forgot about being nervous.

隨即忘記所有緊張

I really just wanted to show her my best.

我要她知道我最好的一面

So moving on, I'm thinking that if I ever

我在想將來如果我需要幫忙

need help with nerves and public speaking in the future

因為緊張和公開演講

I just need like a heckler

我需要一個極度質疑我的人

Someone like: "you can't even do it! You suck!!"

他會說：「妳連這個也做不好！妳遭透了。」

I need someone across the room to really like

我需要那個人走進班房

get under my skin.

把我激怒

With that motivation I forget that I'm nervous

這可以激勵我忘記一切緊張

and get so focused on showing them that they're wrong.

集中演講 證明他們是錯的

So, maybe that'll be like my thing in the future!

將來或許成為我解決困難的辦法

It's not very positive but

雖然不太正面

I did so much better after I felt revved up.

但我被激勵後 果然表現好得多了

(How many minutes left in here...)

（還剩下多少分鐘....）

After that, I made it through the long week

其後我度過艱難的一個漫長的星期

and had a couple papers after that

然後有幾份論文要做

and so many things to do...

還有很多東西要完成....

My friend is still here,

我的朋友仍然在這裡

so we're heading up to Sendai, actually!

我們會去仙台

For a birthday party with some of our really close friends

跟一些好友參加生日派對

so I get to end this week with beautiful hot springs

我要泡溫泉和看風景

and beautiful landscape.

來結束這個星期

I talked to my landlady and

我曾問過女房東

I think the cherryblossoms are still blooming up there!

我認為那裡的櫻花仍然盛開

So we'll go and hopefully do some hiking

於是我決定去那裡 還希望去一下遠足

we'll definitely do some hiking

and we'll see beautiful landscapes and hot springs

到時看看美麗的風景 泡泡溫泉

which I think is the most Japanese

這是最日本人的方式

and most perfect way to close up what has been

a very stressful week.

這個最惱人的星期

你們見到這個嗎？給你看看！

Can you tell? The screen is like... shattered.

你可以看到螢幕破裂了

I completely shattered the screen.

我把它的螢幕完全摔壞了

So I can't actually use the touch screen because

我不能使用 touch screen

it thinks i'm touching this spot where it shattered the hardest.

因為我現在觸碰的這一點 就是損壞得最嚴重的地方

I have no communications...

這次説日語的掙扎 到此為止

So hopefully, I'm keeping up.

希望我可繼續撐下去

I'm the only American in the program

我是這個課程唯一報讀的美國人

but I'll try and do my best to keep up!

但我會努力 做到最好

I'll just put in some extra effort

而且要加倍努力

but I think some sleep would be a good start.

但是睡點覺會是一個好開始

I don't even know if I'm making sense anymore so...

我不知道自己講什麼.....

Let's get this ramen going!

看看拉麵情況怎樣！

I just poured out the water through there

I just got like a flavor powder chunk!

好像吃下一大塊調味料
