大家看到了吧，

As you all see,

这村子里正在办喜事儿呢。

there is a wedding ceremony going

on in the village.

办喜事儿可不能少了我韩佳，

I am indispensable for such

a happy event

尤其，今天的主角新郎

especially because the groom

还是我的好搭档呢。

is my co-host.

大牛：观众朋友们，大家好！

Hi, ladies and gentlemen!

我就是风流倜傥、玉树临风的

I am the handsome “jade tree in

the wind”,

渔家新郎倌牛大渔。

the fisherman groom Daniel.

韩佳：观众朋友们，

Audience friends,

大亚湾的海岛有千里不同风，

islands in the Daya Bay have

different customs

百里不同俗的特点。

from the mainlanders.

Qiān lǐ bù tóng fēng bǎi lǐ bù tóng sú.

千 里 不 同 风， 百 里 不 同 俗。

Customs are different from area to area

if they are located more than 50kilometers

away from one another.

如果您想了解这里传统

If you want to know about the customs

而又古老的渔家婚礼呢，

and the traditional fishermen’s

wedding ceremonies here,

就一定要跟我去迎接

you should come with me

大牛美丽的新娘喽。

to greet Daniel’s beautiful bride.

大牛：韩佳，谢谢你们

Han Jia, thank you all very much

帮我把婚礼举办得这么热闹。

for helping me hold such a lively

wedding ceremony.

让我这么有面子。

I feel very proud.

韩佳：你这么客气干吗。

Don’t mention it.

咱俩都搭档那么长时间了。

After all, we’ve been co-hosts

for such a long time.

你的事儿就是我的事儿。

Your concern is mine, too.

我当然要上心了。

Of course, I should do all I can.

大牛：伤心？

Upset?

伤心？你怎么会用这样的词呢？

Upset? Why did you use such a word?

韩佳：你呀，把声调听错了。

You misheard the intonation

of the word.

我说的是上心。

What I said was “shang xin”.

大牛：上心。

“Shang xin”.

韩佳：“上心”是指对要办的事情

“Shang xin” means to do something

很留心，很用心的意思。

carefully and seriously.

例如，

For example,

我大牛对主持节目特别上心。

I host the program very “shang xin”.

韩佳：你快看那边。咱们马上就要到了。

Look over there. We’re arriving soon.

大牛：可是，我好像忘了准备

But I seem to have forgotten

to prepare

新娘子坐的大花轿。

a sedan-chair for my bride.

怎么办呢？

What should I do?

韩佳：渔家的女儿出嫁是不用坐花轿的。

Girls in the fishing village don’t sit

in a sedan chair when they marry.

亏你还要当人家的女婿呢，

You wouldn’t deserve to be their

son-in-law

连这点规矩都不知道啊。

if you didn’t know even this

basic rule.

咱们渔村，

Here in this fishing village,

这渔船就是最好的花轿。

a fishing boat would be the best

sedan chair.

大牛：这台花轿有特点，我喜欢。

This sedan-chair is elegant.

I like it.

Zhè tái huājiào yǒu diǎnr tèdiǎn wǒ xǐhuan

这 台 花轿 有 点儿 特点， 我 喜欢。

This sedan-chair is quite elegant.

I like it.

韩佳：观众朋友们，

Audience friends,

瞧瞧，这新娘子穿戴得多漂亮！

Look, how beautiful the bride is

dressed up!

据说渔家婚俗的一大特点

It is said that one of the significant

features of fishermen’s weddings here is

就是新娘子在出嫁的时候，

that the bride should

要戴很多首饰。

wear a lot of adornments.

家里条件越好戴的首饰就越多。

This is particularly true for

those richer families.

大牛：穿戴，“穿”读一声，“戴”读四声，

“chuandai”, first tone, fourth tone,

泛指穿着打扮，

means apparel, clothing,

穿戴。我说得没错吧？

“Chuandai”. Is my explanation correct?

韩佳：没错。“穿戴”就是指穿和戴，

Absolutely. “Chuandai” means apparel

and adornments,

泛指穿着打扮。

generally referring to the way

one is dressed up.

不错嘛，大牛。娶到了美丽的新娘子

It’s great of you not to have

forgotten to teach Chinese

还不忘教汉语。

while marrying such a beautiful bride.

大牛：那是。

Sure.

小孩：起床啦。

Get up.

大牛：原来是一个梦。嗨，黄粱一梦！

It was actually a dream. Huh, only

a wishful dream!

好啊，你这个小鬼！

It’s you, little devil!

你这个小鬼。

You little devil.

韩佳：大牛，你看看现在都几点了。

Daniel, look at what time it is now.

居然才起床。

I’m surprised that you’re just getting up!

Nǐ kànkan xiànzài dōu jǐ diǎn le? Jūrán cái qǐ chuáng.

你 看看 现在 都 几 点 了？居然 才 起 床。

Look at what time it is now?

I’m surprised that you’re just getting up!

阿姨：吃饭了吃饭了。

Let’s have breakfast.

韩佳：大牛？

Daniel?

阿姨：吃饭吃饭。吃完饭去干活儿。

Let’s eat. We’ll　have　work　to

do　after　breakfast.

韩佳：阿姨，水哥呢？

Ma’am, where is Shuige?

阿姨：水哥他一早就去干活儿了。

Shuige is out at work after

eating his breakfast.

大牛：我也吃好了。味道真香。

I’m also done with my meal.

It’s delicious.

阿姨：多吃一点儿啊。

Have some more if it’s delicious.

我现在找水哥去。来吧，你也来。

I’m going to find Shuige. Come on,

you too.

小孩：我也去。我也去。

Me, too. I’m also going with you.

韩佳：你们倒是等等我呀。

Wait for me, please.

大牛：水哥。

韩佳：水哥，准备捞鱼哪？

Shuige, are you catching fish here

with a hand net?

水哥：对啊对啊。

Yeah, that’s right.

韩佳：我来帮你，我来帮你。

Let me help you.

水哥：等一会儿等一会儿。

让我来吧。

Let me do it.

一，二，三…

One, two, three …

小孩：你不行。还是我来吧。

No, you can’t. Let me do it.

大牛：还是看水哥的吧。

We better let Shuige do the job.

水哥：捞起来让你们看一下。你看看，是不是？

I’ll show you how I catch fish.

Look, what did I say?

韩佳：这么多啊！

So many!

大牛：一捞就三条。

Three in one net.

韩佳：你得好好学学了。

You ought to learn it modestly.

You just care about catching fish.
