美国视频博主从成都骑行到雅安：四川的大爷大妈太好玩了！

What I love about these interactions with strangers is that you might be the only foreigner many of these people ever meet. They want so badly to ask you questions and are sad they can't speak English. Then BOOM! You speak Chinese. Now they can have a real conversation with someone from around the world. That's an experience so few people in the world ever get to enjoy.

博主这样与陌生路人的互动最打动我的地方在于，你可能是这里面许多人遇到的第一个外国人。他们非常想问你问题，会因为不懂英语无法与你沟通而难过。然后，嘣！你会说中文。现在，他们就能和来自地球另一边的人进行对话了！这种经历可不是世界上许多人能体验的。

CF Win
The reactions are (or were) priceless

他们（知道博主会中文后）的反应真是无价

Hang Tuah
You make sounding the ability to speak Chinese the equivalent of dropping a bomb.  Hope no one was killed for speaking Chinese.

你把会说中文这事搞得好像扔炸弹一样。哈哈希望没人被炸伤。

Dexter Dr.
you described this thing precisely my dude

你的描述可真到位啊我的伙计

I’m from the United States. I have a lot of admiration and respect for China, I think if average American people could see what China was really like instead of having the media drum up hatred and war mongering, then we could perhaps learn a lot from one another, and make the world a much more safe and prosperous place. Love to China from an American college student

我是美国人。我非常钦佩和尊重中国，我认为如果普通美国人都能看到中国真实的一面，而不是如今战争贩子一样的主流媒体上肆意鼓吹的仇恨对立，那我们也许可以好好地相互学习，让整个世界变得更加安全和繁荣。来自一名美国大学生对中国的爱

You are one of many foreigners that understand and know YouTube's China. This video will definitely play a small part in information the positive aspects of China,  it does help to clear the wrong and distorted view of China. She is changing everyday and it is good for the world in general. We need world peace with truthful information  and  a lot of common sense.

你是许多通过YouTube了解中国的外国人之一。这样的视频肯定能在宣传中国的积极面上起到一些小小的作用，有助于澄清一些关于中国的错误和扭曲的看法。中国每天都在变化，而且是对整个世界都有益的变化。只有大量真实的信息和正确的基本常识，才能真正确保我们这个世界的和平。

Edward Hochwand
Anyone ,who wants to know about China,  could easily check youtube to get information. The China criticizers have zero interest in China but need someone to hate.

任何一个真的想了解中国的人，通过油管就可以轻松获取相关信息。那些“中国批评家”其实对中国毫无兴趣，只是需要一个憎恨的对象。

Amazing video. 
Really feels like China is one of those country where you can travel freely in the countryside without any worries and meet awesome people.
Moreover, even though you are from the US, no Chinese were hostile to you (or at least you didn't show them). I'm not sure if the same could be said if a Chinese was visiting the US countryside.
 
精彩的视频。真的让我感觉到中国是这样一种国家，在那里你能无忧无虑地在乡间自由旅行，还能遇到很棒的人。
更有甚者，即便你来自美国，视频里也没有中国人对你表现出敌意（还是说你没有把不好的场面剪进来）。如果是一名中国人在美国的农村旅行，我可不敢保证他/她会有类似的待遇。

Before the Trump era, I did a lot of solo hiking trips on the west coast of USA, in some really remote places. I would say, 100% of the Mexican Americans and Native Americans that I ran into on these trips were friendly to me.

在特朗普时代之前，我曾在美国西海岸的一些非常偏远的地方独自徒步旅行过很多次。我想说，我在这些旅行中遇到的墨西哥裔美国人和土著美国人，100%都对我非常友好。

wiiistful
@抽血唔食得早餐嘅  I'm sure there are places in the US where Chinese are not bothered just for being Chinese.

@抽血唔食得早餐嘅，当然，在美国有些地方，中国人并不会因为自己是中国人而遇到麻烦。

SouthPaw718
I think that's more a result of the US transportation system. The perception of fear is really strong when you're a lone biker with high-speed automobiles and trucks zooming past. I've met amazing people on bike paths, hiking trails, and campgrounds. People are generally friendly to others in environments that are friendly to people.

我认为那更多是美国交通系统的锅。当你独自一人骑车旅行时，身边突然一辆汽车甚至卡车疾驰而过，那种恐惧感真的很强烈。我在自行车专用道、徒步旅行小径和露营地里却遇到过许多很棒的人。
人们通常在身处友好的环境时，待人也比较友善。

Riceball 4U
China is very safe place to visit and live, just don't act like you own the place, be respectful to others, and don't act like you have a higher moral.

不论是去旅游还是去定居，中国都是一个非常安全的地方，只要你不是一副颐指气使的样子，尊重他人，不要好像你的德性高人一等似的。

SouthPaw718
@Riceball 4U  Safety is relative. For example, you're not safe to voice political disagreements or talk bad about the Chinese government. Chinese people are very kind though and the crime rates are a lot lower than in the US

@Riceball 4U，安全也只是相对的。。。然而中国人民的确很善良，犯罪率比美国要低得多。

Snow White
@SouthPaw718  are you trying to switch topics?  in such a countryside it is clear what safety we are asking here for a solo female American biker means.

@SouthPaw718，你这是在转移话题吗？我们在这里希望一位美国女性在这样的乡村单车旅行中得到的“安全”是指什么，难道你不懂？

Riceball 4U
@SouthPaw718  thing is Chinese people trust their government and we don't really care about politics unlike the US where politics destroy families and people don't trust the government.

@SouthPaw718，然而问题是，中国人信任他们自己的政府，也并不像美国人那样热衷于政治。在美国，政治（立场）常常摧毁家庭关系，人民也普遍不信任政府。

wiiistful
@Riceball 4U  As someone coming from the west, you always have that concern about safety no matter where you go.

@Riceball 4U，身为一名西方人，无论你走到哪里，安全问题始终是你的一大关切。

4:00 Ahaha, these gentlemen' curiosity are so cute Also I'm giggled with the other guy mentioning about the sour US-China relation I mean he's certainly right in a sense, but still it's gonna feel awkward to hear that coming out of blue from a random person you met on your way of your trip

4分钟那里，啊哈，那些绅士的好奇心也太可爱了，还有当另一个人提到恶化的中美关系的时候，我也不禁尬笑了起来，我想说的是，从某种意义上讲他当然是对的，但如果你在旅行途中突然被莫名其妙问到这样的问题，谁都会觉得很尴尬。

Katherine's Journey to the East 阳离子东游记
Yeah it’s funny seeing people’s different reactions to me saying I’m from the US different response every time

（博主回复）是啊，看人们听到我说我来自美国后的不同反应真的很有趣，每次我得到的回应都不同。

GuyWhoLikesTheSnarkies14
@Katherine's Journey to the East 阳离子东游记  I have a pretty similar experience myself. Not necessarily as foreigner, but you know Indonesia is so diverse culturally and ethnically and as an Indonesian myself, coming to another place in another part of the country often feels like a brand new experience. I'm happened to be someone who's from the more remote place of the country (a north Bornean myself), so for example I occasionally met with some people who were curious about me every time I came to visit to any city or town in Java.

@Katherine's Journey to the East 阳离子东游记，我自己也有类似的经历。不一定是作为外国人；但你知道，印度尼西亚不论文化、民族都是如此的多样化，作为一个印尼人，去到自己国家的另一个地方，往往都是一种全新的体验。我碰巧又是一个来自印尼较偏远地区的人（我是婆罗洲北部人），因此，每次我去爪哇的不管哪个城市或者城镇时，都会偶尔遇到一些对我格外好奇的人。

I am waiting for China to open up to tourists. Planning to visit Chengdu, Chongqing and Xishuangbanna.

我正在等待中国重新向（国际）旅客开放。到时候，我计划访问成都、重庆还有西双版纳。

M P
Post Olympics, good chance for study visa may be accepted. Tourist L visa? Maybe later 2022.

那要到冬奥之后了，到时中国很可能会重新开放学生签证。旅游签证？也许2022年晚些时候吧。

K J
@M P  I do have plans to take a language course for a longer stay. Likely summer/spring because I live in a tropical climate and can't stand freezing temperatures.

@M P，我倒确实有打算报一门语言课程，以便能在中国呆更长时间。或许等到夏天或至少春天，因为我来自热带，受不了严寒天气。

Just curious, how come Chengdu is developing so fast while people there are kind of living in a lay-back style?

只是出于好奇：成都发展如此之快，那里的人是怎么能保持一种悠哉游哉的生活方式的？

Chinese people  age slowly. Most people recorded by K are actually retirees who enjoy this laid-back life style. Most young people in Chengdu still need to work hard just like elsewhere.

中国人大都不太显老。凯瑟琳记录的大多数实际上都是已经退休的人，他们当然可以享受这种悠闲的生活方式。但在成都的大多数年轻人仍然需要像其他地方的人一样努力工作。

David Zan
Almost the top IT companies established their datas server base in Chengdu.
Chengdu has also one of air force industries city in China.

成都也是中国空军的工业生产基地之一。

These people are retired. You won't see young people hanging out in the tea house.

这些都是退休的人。你不会看到年轻人在茶馆里消磨时间。

I raised my hat on you for your care free life in China my ancestor's land! Can't help feeling that it is so safe and easy traveling alone as a foreign woman in a country whom considered in the West as backward, oppressive, communist ruled! And yet watching your video, people there are so free and friendly whose lives are very normal and rich in most respects! 
I had been to the US many times since from the 70's . I as a man would not dared to venture far to remote places even in any big city there! Love your videos and hope to view many more! 謝謝，加油！

我要向博主致意，致意你在中国——我祖先的国度过着的无忧无虑的生活！作为一名外国女性，你在一个被西方视为落后、压抑的国家里独自旅行，竟让我感到如此安全、惬意；在你的视频里，看到那边的人们是多么自在、友善，他们的生活从各方各面看都是如此正常而丰富，我感触颇深。
上世纪70年代以来，我已去过美国多次。但哪怕身为一名男性，我也不敢到偏远的地方去冒险，即便是在美国的“大城市”周边！喜欢你的视频，希望能看到你更多作品！谢谢，加油！

habil Lee
Hi David, the world has changed for the better, as what you discuss about Katherine adventures in China, real time, this proof Americans propaganda has failed big time, and slowly Capitol Hill will have another mayhem, this time shall be the end of the American Imperialism and the the down fall of "Democracy practices".
David, time to come home, our life can only last till we are 100 years maximum so don't delay by then you cannot even enjoy hot pot or square dance

嗨，大卫，这世界正变得越来越好，正如你谈到的凯瑟琳在中国的探险，一切都在证明美国人的宣传手段已经越来越不起作用了。等着瞧，国会山将再次暴动，并将导致美帝国主义的终结和“西式民主实践”的衰落。
是时候回家了，大卫，我们的人生顶多也就一百年时光，经不起太多耽搁，漂泊在外你连火锅和广场舞都享受不到。

Wow! This is amazing! The locals seem really friendly. Do you ever feel unsafe on your solo travels?

哇噢！这太神奇了！当地人看起来都好友善！想问博主，你在独自旅行时有过感到不安全的经历吗？

Katherine's Journey to the East 阳离子东游记
Yeah when it gets close to sundown and I’m not in a city area yet , nothing has ever happened but I avoid those situations anyway

（博主回复）有啊，当太阳就快下山，而我还没到达市区的时候。虽然什么也没发生过，但我还是尽量避免这种情形。

sky lee
城市里面不要去太黑的小路，虽然不至于碰到抢劫，碰到酒鬼也说不定呢。

Y D
@Katherine's Journey to the East 阳离子东游记  You are right, be careful for solo trip.  No place is 100% safe.

@Katherine's Journey to the East 阳离子东游记，你是对的，独自旅行一定要小心，没有哪里是100%安全的。

Such an adventure seeker. Thanks for taking us on another scenic journey through the backcountry roads
Metropolitan Chengdu has expanded immensely since my first visit in 2006.  The metro system was under construction at the time.
Does the metro line extend to Qionglai?

博主真是个探险家。谢谢你带我们踏上又一段穿行在僻静乡村风光中的骑行之旅。
自从2006年我第一次造访成都以来，这座大都市又有了极大的发展。记得当时成都地铁系统还正在施工。
现在地铁线路连接到邛崃了吗？

Katherine's Journey to the East 阳离子东游记
That metro station I passed was in xinjin district , halfway to Qionglai . Maybe in a few years it will get all the way to Qionglai. it just keeps growing like crazy and it’s all just been in the past decade

（博主回复）我经过的地铁站在新津区，是在去邛崃的中途。也许再过几年，它就会一直延申到邛崃了。成都地铁系统一直在疯狂成长，一切都发生在过去的十年之内。

H Z
@Katherine's Journey to the East 阳离子东游记  Regardless this is well beyond City limits into County jurisdiction.  I had no idea the metro lines extend that far out.
Is the second airport in operation now?

@Katherine's Journey to the East 阳离子东游记，无论如何，它都已经远远超出了城区的界限，进入县一级范围了。我之前根本想不到地铁线路都可以延申这么远。成都的第二个机场现在投入使用了吗？

Katherine's Journey to the East 阳离子东游记
@H Z  I didn’t know the second airport was new , there have been two airports in operation the whole time I’ve been here

@H Z，我都不知道成都第二个机场是新的。我来这里后就一直是两个机场在通航。

H Z
@Katherine's Journey to the East 阳离子东游记  It is brand new opened in late June.  Lookup Tianfu International.  Previously only Shuangliu existed.
No comparison in scale to Daxing Beijing though, but two major airports in Chengdu represents staggering growth.

@Katherine's Journey to the East 阳离子东游记，新的应该是（21年）六月正式通航的。你可以查一查“天府国际机场”。以前的那个叫“双流机场”。
虽然规模无法与北京大兴机场相比，但成都的两个大机场也代表着了不起的成长。

王温候
@H Z  成都现在有两个机场，今年还开通了全球最长的地铁6号线，从最北的新都出发达到最南的回龙，全程有60多公里。贯穿了整个成都。

Learning someone's language (even though you may be able to get by without knowing it) truly opens people up to you.  Immediately their demeanor changes and you see a smile or a hint of curiosity about you.  I took French for 4 years in high school and can only remember how to introduce myself.  I wasn't passionate about it back then but I'm really interested in learning Mandarin even after knowing it's difficulties.

学习对方的语言（即便你就算不学日常生活也没有问题时）确实更能让别人对你敞开心扉。他们（知道你会中文后）的举止立刻就有了变化，你会立即看到微笑，或者对你的一丝好奇。高中时我学了四年法语，现在就只记得如何自我介绍了。当时还没有学汉语的意愿，但现在我对学习这门语言真的很有兴趣，即使我知道汉语很难学。

Kenny Bee
Chinese language is quite unique , It's ancient and non-phonetic . The chinese character itself is interesting and beautiful in writing like pictures.

汉语非常独特，它是一种古老的非音标语言。汉字本身就像图画一样，书写起来既有趣又美丽。

Katherine's bike tours... Better than Netflix

凯瑟琳的自行车之旅……比网飞的节目还精彩！

pandabearoceanpark
Solo (female) bike trip:  I wouldn't dare to do this in the US.  Katherine, you have the sharp eyes, the inquisitive and open mind, friendly demeaner and free spirit to make interesting videos!  Of course, the friendly and happy Chinese people make the solo trip rewarding!

单人（还是女性）自行车旅行：在美国我可不敢这么干。凯瑟琳，你有敏锐的眼光，好奇和开放的头脑，友好的举止和自由的精神，这些让你制作出了有趣的视频！当然，友好而快乐的中国人民更使这次单人旅行收获满满！

.Futuroscope Weber
People are so friendly and happy....A lot of dancing going on. Pretty uplifting.

这里的人是这样友好而欢乐……还有到处都在跳舞。真是令人振奋。

MorningHope
Looks like such a fun little adventure...interesting sceneries and friendly strangers!

真是一次有趣的小小探险之旅……有趣的风景和友好的陌生人！

Jurrasic Pig
The guy struggled trying to pop out an english word and found out you can speak Chinese, so funny! and the geese! as someone who'd been chased and bit by geese multiple times, I hate them, they are pure bullies!

那个人拼尽全力想要蹦出一个英文单词，却突然发现你原来会说中文，太有趣了！还有那些鹅！作为一个多次被鹅追着跑还曾被咬伤过的人，我恨它们，它们是一群纯粹的恶霸！

Ratna Sinaga
So this is real China looks like. It really is a  beautiful city. Never know China is such an interesting country till your videos.

看来，这才是中国真正的样子。真是一座漂亮的城市。在看到你的视频前，从来不知道中国竟是这样一个有趣的国度。

Victor Chan
Another wonderful video Katherine, it’s so fascinating seeing places in China where most wouldn’t go.

凯瑟琳，又是一只精彩的影片，你带我看到在中国大多数人都不会去的地方，真是太棒了！

Jason Peter Sharpe
This was a really great video! I really like the happiness and kindness of the Chinese people!

这是一只非常棒的影片！我真的很喜欢中国人体现出的那种善良和幸福感！

Great video. You’d be a great anthropologist — that is, someone who studies how cultures and traditions affect the way the environment is understood and cared for. The pace of modernization shown in your videos is just dizzying!

视频很棒。博主有成为一位伟大人类学家的资质——例如，研究文化和传统如何影响民众对环境（保护）的理解和关心程度。要知道，你视频里显示出的现代化速度真是令人目眩！

Hkding
You are really energetic. Amazing scenery and nice people around China. This type of villages are hard to come by in the near future. Enjoy while it is still there. 

你真是一个精力充沛的人。惊人的美景和善良的人民，遍布中国各地。这样的村庄在不久的将来恐怕很难找到了。趁它们还在的时候好好享受。

BenC
The agricultural area in US is indeed boring.  Villages in China are way more fun to visit.

美国的农业地区着实无聊。走访中国的村庄要有趣多了。

stanleytcw
I notice you have indirectly and unofficially become a travelling ambassador from US, giving the normal Chinese citizen a totally different view of a typical American....someone which is friendly and approachable (vs the current   US-China relations). Also, i feel you must be alx/careful too as you are a pretty girl cycling alone in some of this deserted roads.....wishing you safe and happy always!

我发现，博主通过自己的友好、和蔼可亲，已经间接地、非正式地成为了美国（在中国）的旅行使者（尤其鉴于当下的美中关系），能让普通中国民众对“典型美国人”的印象完全改观。此外，我还是觉得你有必要保持警惕/小心，因为你是一个美丽的女孩，又总是在一些荒郊野外独自骑行……总之，祝你永远平安快乐！

Bin Zhang
I get bored and even fall into sleep when going to the cinemas & watching TV.
But watching Katherine's videos has given me so much warmth and laughter. Truly is magical!

我去电影院 & 在家看电视的时候，都经常觉得无聊，甚至会睡着。
但是看凯瑟琳的视频却总能给我很多温暖和欢笑。真是不可思议！

HaoRyu32
Great video!!  Careful traveling around because there were some recent covid cases. <3   Your conversations are almost exactly like when I talk to the locals, always so friendly.  The last interesting conversation I had I was asked if I was scared if the USA and China go to war.  I said I look European enough that I wasn't worried. lol
BTW if your doing requests you should check out the Chengdu Planning Exposition Museum.  It has an ENORMOUS scale model of Chengdu. Promise it won't disappoint.

很棒的视频！！不过最近到处走还是要小心，因为又开始有一些新冠确诊病例了。你和当地人交谈的方式几乎和我一模一样，总是那么友好。我最近一次就很有趣，有人问我，怕不怕美国和中国打起来。我说，我长得应该更像欧洲人吧？所以我不怕，哈哈哈哈
顺便说一句，如果你考虑顺应观众要求（选择拍摄地点），我建议你去成都规划馆看看，那里有一个巨大的成都模型，保证不会让你失望。

RapidRain C
You have such a kind heart Katherine. that lucky small mantis who met a human like you.
While I wish I could travel, see, and experience much of China but cannot, at least not at the moment, I thank you for sharing much of your life and travelling in China.  You are an intelligent, smart, multi-cultural, one with a lot of positive energy, and of course a pretty girl (by Asian or Western standards).  Your husband is a lucky man, very lucky one indeed.  Wish you good health, happiness, and more discoveries of meaningfulness in life.

凯瑟琳，你有一颗善良的心。那只小螳螂很幸运遇到了像你这样的人。
虽然我很想去中国旅行，去游览体验许多地方，但可惜我不能，至少目前办不到。所以感谢你分享许许多多你在中国的生活场景和旅行经历。你是一个聪明睿智、多元包容、充满活力和正能量的人，当然还是一个漂亮女孩（不论以亚洲还是西方审美标准）。你丈夫真是个幸运儿，真的太幸运了。祝你身体健康，幸福快乐，生活中不断有更多有意义的发现。

Opp Lov
Thank you for another great travel tour!  This is China as real as it gets. Locals are not internationalized.  But they love to talk world politics!

谢谢你又一次精彩的旅行！这就是真实的中国。当地人没那么国际化，但他们照样喜欢谈论世界政治！

So nice seeing you save the tiny insect on the road, I am a buhdist and living in Canada, I do the same thing when walking on the road :)

真高兴看到你在路上救下那只小昆虫，我是一个乡下人，住在加拿大，我走在路上时也会这么干：）

Catherine, you are a true embassador. People to people interaction is precious.

凯瑟琳，你是一位真正的使者。人与人之间的互动才是最宝贵的。

Alexander Carpenter
I have seen many of your vloggs. Chinese culture is sooooo diverse, every single part of China has its own provincial culture. I suggest you visit Lijiang and Guilin some day in the future.

我已经看了很多你的视频日志，中国文化是如！此！多元，那里每一个地方每个省都有自己独特的风俗传统。我希望你将来能去一趟丽江和桂林。

Laurie Seto
Nice ride especially among the tea plantations. Glad you're commenting on the water quality of the streams and river. I keep wondering about the sewage treatment systems of the smaller. Thanks for taking us along. Cheers.

愉快的骑行之旅，尤其是在那片茶园间。很高兴听到你对溪流和河水的水质的评论。我一直在好奇，那里比较小地方的污水处理系统到底怎么样。谢谢你带我们一起旅行，干杯！

Joseph Chen
Thanks for bringing Ya'an, a barely known Chinese city, to overseas viewer.   Have been following Chengdu-Lhasa high speed rail to be completion by 2030.  Chengdu-Ya'an section was completed and in operation since 2018.  Katherine, you are definitely our eyes and ears before we can visit China again.   Great work!

感谢你把中国鲜为人知的城市——雅安，介绍给海外观众。成都到拉萨高铁将于2030年完工；而成都到雅安段已经在2018年竣工并投入运营了。凯瑟琳，在我们能再次去中国之前，你就是我们的眼睛和耳朵，你太棒了！

I love the trees in the middle of the street. It keeps drunks alx and ninja's skills up! Love the interactions with normal people. Also don't mess with the geese!!!

我喜欢视频里街道中间的那些树。它们能让醉汉保持警觉，让忍者精进忍术！喜欢你和普通人的互动。还有，别去招惹那些鹅！！！

Varud Boonjoong
The more watching your clips, the more 有一點羨慕. I'm Thai working as a labor in Taiwan. It's my dream to have a bike tour in China. Wish you safe journey and make more videos like this. Thanks a lot.

每多看一点你的视频，我对你的羡慕就又多一点。我是一名在台湾做外劳的泰国人，在中国骑自行车旅行是我的梦想。祝你旅途平安，并制作更多这样的视频。无尽感谢！
