那天我看了一个视频，

nà | tiān | wǒ | kàn | le | yī | gè | shì | pín

The other day, I watched a video,

是一个美国人拍的第一次到中国旅游的vlog，

shì | yī | gè | měi | guó | rén | pāi | de | dì | yī | cì | dào | zhōng | guó | lǚ | yóu | de | vlog

a vlog shot by an American traveling to China for the first time.

这个人有点可爱，

zhè | ge | rén | yǒu | diǎn | kě | ài

This guy is kind of cute,

他一边感到新鲜，一边有点害怕。

tā | yī | biān | gǎn | dào | xīn | xiān | yī | biān | yǒu | diǎn | hài | pà

feeling both curious and a little scared at the same time.

而且他来的第一个城市就是成都，

ér | qiě | tā | lái | de | dì | yī | gè | chéng | shì | jiù | shì | chéng | dū

And the first city he visited was Chengdu.

成都这些年确实吸引了很多人来旅游。

chéng | dū | zhè | xiē | nián | què | shí | xī | yǐn | le | hěn | duō | rén | lái | lǚ | yóu

Chengdu has really attracted a lot of tourists in recent years.

通过他的视频，

tōng | guò | tā | de | shì | pín

Through his video,

我来讲讲到中国旅游要注意的一些点。

wǒ | lái | jiǎng | jiang | dào | zhōng | guó | lǚ | yóu | yào | zhù | yì | de | yī | xiē | diǎn

I’d like to talk about some tips for traveling to China.

比如他提前准备好了手机支付，

bǐ | rú | tā | tí | qián | zhǔn | bèi | hǎo | le | shǒu | jī | zhī | fù

For example, he prepared mobile payment in advance,

这就非常方便了，

zhè | jiù | fēi | cháng | fāng | biàn | le

which is very convenient.

你可以选择alipay或wechat来支付，

nǐ | kě | yǐ | xuǎn | zé | Alipay | huò | WeChat | lái | zhī | fù

You can choose to pay with Alipay or WeChat,

就完全不需要带现金。

jiù | wán | quán | bù | xū | yào | dài | xiàn | jīn

and you don’t need to carry any cash at all.

比如他用google地图导航，

bǐ | rú | tā | yòng | Google | dì | tú | dǎo | háng

Another example: he used Google Maps for navigation,

实际效果还不如出租车司机的经验，

shí | jì | xiào | guǒ | hái | bù | rú | chū | zū | chē | sī | jī | de | jīng | yàn

but its actual effect was not as good as a taxi driver’s experience.

我们平时用的是苹果地图或高德地图或百度地图。

wǒ | men | píng | shí | yòng | de | shì | Apple | Maps | huò | Gaode | Maps | huò | Baidu | Maps

What we usually use are Apple Maps, Amap or Baidu Maps.

比如他有点紧张，说他不会触碰底线，

bǐ | rú | tā | yǒu | diǎn | jǐn | zhāng | shuō | tā | bù | huì | chù | pèng | dǐ | xiàn

And he was also a bit nervous, saying he wouldn’t cross any lines,

这一点呢，我觉得他多虑了，

zhè | yī | diǎn | ne | wǒ | jué | de | tā | duō | lǜ | le

but I think he was overthinking it.

其实普通人都是正常地生活，

qí | shí | pǔ | tōng | rén | dōu | shì | zhèng | cháng | de | shēng | huó

In fact, ordinary people live normal lives,

没有什么普遍的禁忌，

méi | yǒu | shén | me | pǔ | biàn | de | jìn | jì

with no universal taboos.

大部分人对外国人都很友好。

dà | bù | fen | rén | duì | wài | guó | rén | dōu | hěn | yǒu | hǎo

Most people are very friendly to foreigners.

还有一个就是语言，

hái | yǒu | yī | gè | jiù | shì | yǔ | yán

Another thing is language.

我们的听众肯定会一些中文了，

wǒ | men | de | tīng | zhòng | kěn | dìng | huì | yī | xiē | zhōng | wén | le

Our listeners definitely know some Chinese,

这个博主他完全不会中文，

zhè | ge | bó | zhǔ | tā | wán | quán | bù | huì | zhōng | wén

but this vlogger doesn’t know any Chinese at all.

所以他用了一个手机翻译app，

suǒ | yǐ | tā | yòng | le | yī | gè | shǒu | jī | fān | yì | app

So he used a mobile translation app,

但是它只能翻译成文字，让对方看，

dàn | shì | tā | zhǐ | néng | fān | yì | chéng | wén | zì | ràng | duì | fāng | kàn

but it only translates into text for the other person to read.

我觉得可以用一些语音的翻译app，

wǒ | jué | de | kě | yǐ | yòng | yī | xiē | yǔ | yīn | de | fān | yì | app

I think you can use some voice translation apps instead,

手机直接就可以读出来，

shǒu | jī | zhí | jiē | jiù | kě | yǐ | dú | chū | lái

where the phone can read the translation aloud directly,

会方便很多。

huì | fāng | biàn | hěn | duō

which is much more convenient.

现在还有一些特殊的眼镜或手表，

xiàn | zài | hái | yǒu | yī | xiē | tè | shū | de | yǎn | jìng | huò | shǒu | biǎo

Now there are also some special glasses or watches

可以做实时的语音翻译。

kě | yǐ | zuò | shí | shí | de | yǔ | yīn | fān | yì

that can do real-time voice translation.
