Post-retirement, other than visiting me in New York, this was my dad's first international trip, so he's been looking forward to this day for months.
退休后,除了去纽约看我,这是我爸爸的第一次出国旅行,所以他期待这一天已经好几个月了。
He's also been studying Japanese through books and audio, but never really had any speaking practice.
他还一直通过书本和音频学习日语,但从未真正有过口语练习的机会。
So he tried asking simple questions like asking for the menu, and honestly, I was so impressed. He learned entirely on his own.
所以他尝试问了一些简单的问题,比如要菜单,说实话,我印象非常深刻。他完全是自学的。
He spent the past year learning basic Japanese vocabulary. When he goes on daily walks he turns on Japanese audiobooks to familiarize himself with words and phrases.
过去这一年他都在学习基础的日语词汇。每天散步时,他都会打开日语有声书来熟悉单词和短语。
He said that as he's getting older, it's gotten harder to retain information, but I'm still so proud of him.
他说随着年龄增长,记住信息变得越来越难了,但我依然为他感到骄傲。
I had to take my parents to Don Quijote. My mom loves stuff like this.
我必须带我父母去逛逛堂吉诃德。我妈妈很喜欢这类东西。
Don Quijote is a store that carries literally everything and anything you can possibly think of from beauty, home, toys, snacks, just literally everything.
堂吉诃德是一家应有尽有的商店,里面有你能想到的任何东西,从美妆、家居、玩具、零食,简直无所不包。
There were a total of seven floors at this location, and we maybe have gotten up to the fourth floor till I saw my dad's energy completely deplete after being overly stimulated.
这家店总共有七层楼,我们大概逛到了第四层,我就看到我爸因为接收了过多信息刺激,精力已经完全耗尽了。
Now we're gonna try this standing sushi bar.
现在我们要去试试这家站立式寿司吧。
We ended the night with standing sushi which ended up being so good. My parents love good, no-frills, casual sushi experience.
我们以站立寿司结束了这个夜晚,结果味道好极了。我父母很喜欢这种美味、不花哨且随意的寿司体验。
