Morning~各位早上好,這裡是Echo陪你練口語,我是森儀。
好久不見啦,大家是不是也要開始放寒假了呢?天冷記得多加衣~
今天想跟大家聊一款突然很火的佛性小遊戲——旅行青蛙。The game, Travel Frog, is about a cute frog going on trips from timeto time. It is actually about independence. Youcan name your frog but he is just a friend, rather than a companion or a pet.His mission is more about travelling on his own and discover his own self.
Independence是獨立的意思,獲得獨立可以說是gain independence from,作形容詞就可以說be independent of/from.
我自己是個挺佛的人,也不經常玩遊戲。之前很火的《錢與野男人》——Love and Producer小池也給大家推過,但我的少女心有限還是選擇吃了小呱呱的安利。
While the tutorial is rather easy to getthrough, it seems harder to understand what to do after you complete it. 我想這也是大家說這個遊戲很佛的原因之一。You harvest the clovers grown in the yard and trade them with stuffthe frog needs at the store. The clovers with four leaves are considered to belucky so they will be collected and can be put in the frog’s backpack fortraveling.
Once you help your frog pack up with food,tent, kerchief, container and lucky stuff, he will soon start his new journeyand adventure. He explores different parts of Japan and brings home localsouvenirs and snacks. The best part is that he makes friends and sends homepostcards of him sightseeing.
不管多大,只要有能力,就該多出去走走。窮遊也好,度假也好,we will eventually be what we see and what we experience.
另外一個有意思的現象是,如果你認真為他準備旅行揹包,裝上不廉價的食物和物品以及護身符的話,他就會揹回來更多的特產和點心。
Sometimes a snail, a bee or a tortoisewould come to your yard and visit. You can feed them with the snacks and theywill respond to your welcoming treats. Sometimes the friends stopping by wouldsend you some clovers and coupons. The coupons are used to play the game oflottery.你可能抽到金平糖,也可能得個安慰獎。A game of pure odds just adds to the fun of the game.
這個遊戲安卓有漢化版本,不過我覺得日文也是可以連蒙帶猜著玩的,畢竟是個light-load的溫馨小遊戲蛤蛤。He also reads, writes and sharpens a piece of wood when he’s athome. You will not see what he’s reading or writing, nor will you know how muchtime he’s going to spend on that.
這就是這個遊戲與眾不同的地方,你並不能控制你的小呱呱,也必須尊重他的privacy。他也很真實,有時候讀書很認真,有時候還會讀著讀著打瞌睡。
玩遊戲的大多都有一種老母親的感覺。It’s just like parenting: youprepare for his lunchbox; you look forward to him meeting new friends whileexploring the world; you can’t wait to receive his postcards and souvenirs.This kind of interaction between players and the game is to some extent weak.但對很多玩家來說,這反而是一種輕鬆的放養遊戲。
Parenting是指父母育兒,同樣表達被撫養大也可以說:
I was brought up by mygrandparents.
在這裡我想繼續安利這家公司的另一款小遊戲,Neko Atsume, Kitty Collector.這個遊戲下載之後可以選擇日文或者英文。
Theguides are easy to follow. You need to purchase goods at the store and thenplace them in the yard to attract kittens. Just like Travel Frog, this gamedoesn’t require much concentration either. When the wandering cat would stop byis not predictable. You can close the app after placing playthings and snacksand focus on your business. It will be surprising and touching when you open itagain to find that kittens are in your yard or have paid visits and even leftgifts.
這個遊戲的貨幣是小銀魚和小金魚,所以來玩過的小貓常帶的禮物就是魚。The catbook of the game has 16 pages, so just expect who’s the next!
這樣的互動也是能實現二次元雲吸貓啦(會有貓的!)
不說了,我也要和我的小呱呱一起看書啦。
Have a nice day.
