去了解这些风俗习惯各异的民族。
about the different customs of

王渊源：韩佳，你刚才说的“异”

韩佳，你来看看我，
Han Jia, look,
我打得怎么样，不错吧？
do you think I’m playing it
pretty well?

sure you’re up to it?
王渊源：谁说我不行啊？
Who said I am not?
你来看看。我试试。
Just look. Now I’ll have a try.
韩佳： 口气倒不小。
You sound so confident.
渊源，
Yuanyuan,
我看你还是跟师傅多学着点儿吧。
I think you’d better learn a bit
more from your teacher.
王渊源：韩佳，你不能光说不练。
Han Jia, you can’s just talk
with no action.
你也得学一门本事吧。
You should also learn some skill.
韩佳： 这个呀你放心。
Please rest assured about that.
我早就选好了。就是这个。
I’ve already chosen one.
It’s just this.
王渊源：这个 椰子？
This coconut?
你要学吃椰子？
You want to learn how to
eat coconuts?
这算什么本事啊！
This is no skill at all!
而且这吃椰子怎么能少得了我呀。
But you can’t eat coconuts
without me.
韩佳： 谁说我是学吃椰子呀？
Who said I want to learn
how to eat coconuts?
我是学开椰子。
I want to learn how to
open a coconut.
王渊源：开椰子？
How to open a coconut?
韩佳： 嗯。
Yes.
王渊源：什么意思啊？
What do you mean?
韩佳： 你可看好了。
Look carefully.
怎么样？
What do you think?
王渊源：这是你打开的吗？
You opened it yourself?
韩佳： 那还有假。这回傻眼了吧？
No trick. Are you stunned?
王渊源：傻眼？
“Sha yan”?
韩佳： “傻眼”就是指刚才渊源那样，
“Sha yan” means to be stunned
just like
一副愣住了的样子。
the way Yuanyuan looked
just now.
王渊源：“傻眼”就是指一副愣住了的样子。
So “sha yan” means to be stunned.
这到底是怎么打开的？
How exactly did you open it?
怎么这么快啊！
You did it so quickly!
韩佳： 是这样的，
The fact is that
黎族大部分都居住在海南岛。
most of the ethnic Li people
live on Hainan Island.
而那边的椰子非常多。
There are a lot of coconut
trees there.
那久而久之呢，
With the passage of time,
他们就了解了开椰子的秘诀了。
they finally uncovered the secret
of opening coconuts.
至于我嘛，
As for me,
那肯定是有高人指点了。
of course, I had a master
to teach me.
你看。
Look.
王渊源：哇，真快啊！
Wow, you opened it so quickly!
韩佳： 这回真傻眼了吧？
Are you stunned?
快完成了已经。
It’s almost done.
嘉宾： 完成了。
It’s done.
王渊源：太快了！
You did it so quickly!
韩佳： 这样已经开成功了。
It’s been opened successfully.
哇，好多！
Wow, there is so much!
让渊源慢慢琢磨去吧。
Let Yuanyuan take his time
to think about it.
