Todd: That must be pretty cool. What's it like growing up in Hawaii?
托德：那里一定非常凉爽CG50fU5+HH。在夏威夷长大是什么感觉？
Mitchell: Hawaii's really different compared to mainland America. I'm originally born in Ohio, but I moved to Hawaii when I was two. The culture's really different. Since everyone came from different backgrounds, for example, people, Chinese people, Philliphino people, Korean people, they all came from the plantation days. It's a mixed culture, and for example if, my friend's in Hawaii, if I look at one person, I don't know what nationality or race they are, because they have like six races in them.

It's a warm feeling culture. It's like, their not as shady. They'll welome you. When you come in they'll start feeding you food, you know it's like, you're not even hungry and they're feeding you. Also, you can't beat the beach. Surfing, body boarding, body surfing, canoe paddling.
米切尔：我想应该是环境本身hoY&uHsKX]~Gcnd1Cxuh。你知道，我们说的ohaha就是指家人ya%*q-dCMy%cQ,i0E^。每个人对待其他人都一视如仁，举个例子，我称呼我朋友的母亲为阿姨，因为他们像对待自己的孩子一样对待我|I5A^u4SV#O0。这就是夏威夷的文化，一种能感受到温暖的文化doiuVgIHr]-lRJC。他们不会那么阴暗，他们会欢迎你l3g=z14IlXjm2[zDjZ。你去到别人家以后，他们就会请你吃饭，其实有时你并不饿，但是他们还是会请你吃饭P3ea03*Ha[c~3k.RbCjT。当然不能忘了海滩，冲浪、滑浪、人体冲浪还有划艇*~l~I,,Sn(5KR9。
