Back from Japan: Telling a Friend About My Trip

Tom! You're back! How was Japan?

Tom！你回來啦！日本好玩嗎？

Honestly? It was the best trip of my life.

老實說？那是我這輩子最棒的一趟旅行。

Wow, okay. Tell me everything!

哇，好喔。快全部跟我說！

Well, we landed in Tokyo on a Monday morning.

嗯，我們是星期一早上降落在東京的。

It was so much bigger than I expected!

比我想像的大太多了！

The streets were packed, but everything was so quiet.

街上人擠人，但到處都超安靜的。

Nobody was shouting, and the trains were always on time.

沒有人大聲嚷嚷，電車也都很準時。

Oh, and the convenience stores were amazing!

喔，還有便利商店，真的超讚！

Did you take the bullet train?

你有坐新幹線嗎？

Yes! From Tokyo to Kyoto, in just over two hours.

對！從東京到京都，只要2個多小時。

Two hours? Isn't that really far?

2個小時？那不是很遠嗎？

It's about five hundred kilometres.

大概500公里。

It felt like flying, but much smoother.

感覺就像在飛，但平穩多了。

Kyoto was completely different. Much calmer.

京都完全不一樣，寧靜多了。

We saw a temple covered in gold, next to a lake.

我們看到一座貼滿金箔的寺廟，就在湖邊。

I got up at six to avoid the crowds.

我6點就起床了，就是為了避開人潮。

And it was totally worth it.

而且真的超值得。

So, what about the food?

那吃的呢？

Oh, the food was incredible.

喔，東西超好吃的。

Well... except for one embarrassing mistake.

嗯……除了一次超糗的失誤。

Oh no. What happened?

喔不，發生什麼事了？

I thought the green stuff was avocado...

我還以為那個綠綠的是酪梨……

So I ate a whole spoonful of wasabi.

結果我吃了一整匙芥末。

Ugh, my eyes were watering for five minutes!

唉，我眼淚流了整整5分鐘！

Ha! That's hilarious!

哈！太好笑了吧！

It wasn't funny at the time, trust me.

相信我，當下一點都不好笑。

So, would you do anything differently?

那你下次會想換個方式嗎？

Definitely. I'd stay longer than two weeks.

當然。我會待超過2個禮拜。

And I'd learn a bit more Japanese first!

而且我會先多學一點日文！
