マシュマロが焼けたら挟んで

The day turned to night as we sat around the campfire telling stories.

ジョシュアが写真係です

No one wanted the evening to end, but at last the time came.

キャンプファイヤーを囲んで語り合いました

Papa Joe, we sure love you and we'll see you on Saturday too.

そろそろお別れの時です

There's a lot of ways we could have celebrated Papa Joe's 100th birthday, but the best way of all was by being together.

愛しているよ 土曜日にも会えるね

It's not just about being together in person, but being together in spirit.

一緒に過ごせる時間が 一番のプレゼントでした

A family that's united is a family that's blessed.

ただ一緒なだけでなく 心で繋がる時間

What's happening Sarah? Glowsticks.

団結する時 家族が幸せです

Glowsticks, that's what happening huh?

- 何それ？ - グロースティック

[Dr. DoLittle - Ben Block] Uncle Ben's trying to teach the kids animal sounds and calls.

グロースティックだね

Well today we are in Colonial Williamsburg. This is a historical American city.

ベンが鳴き真似を教えています

One of the first settlements and we are going to see this historic area here today.

今日はコロニアル・ウィリアムズバーグに来ました

Isn't it kinda like Catan? Like that kind of...

米国最初の入植地の1つです 歴史を学びます

Yeah, so this would be like a settlement. Well, actually, this was a city back then.

カタンみたいじゃない？

They have a glasssmith, they have a black smith, they have carpenters.

昔はこれが都会だったんだよ

Isn't this wonderful?! Yes!

ガラス細工師や鍛冶屋 大工がいたんだ

Here's the Main Street.

大通りです

I want to go and ride on a horse.

馬に乗りたい

You can't ride on the horse.

馬は無理よ

Look at this, the jeweler.

宝石商です

"Done in the beft manner."

”最高の技術です”

"Beft" manner

パパが撮影中

Daddy taking a video like always.

このお店見る？

Should we go into the little shop and see? Yes, let's go in.

いいね

Oh, very cool.

昔のゲーム

Games from long ago.

スマホの無い時代のゲーム

You can see what they used to play before there were iPhones.

ディスプレイを見て

Look at the window display here huh guys?

素敵

That's cool.

- いい磁石 - 綺麗な色

That's a cool magnet. The colors are bright.

この町の歴史かな

Is that the magnet from our experience here? From our experience here.

買うわ

That will be our magnet. Ok, well...

＜フランス語訛り＞ あの店はかつらを作ってるんだ

[speaking in a French accent] They are making me a new wig as well, right there at the peruk shop,

フランス語では "ペルク ウィッグ"

Or, as we say in French, Peruk Wig Shop.

何てキャラクターさん？

Would you tell me the name of your character again?

キャラクターじゃないさ！ どんな人も何かを演じてるだろ

Um, I am no character, miseur, though I suppose all mankind performs characters, don't they.

私はラファイエット侯爵！

My name is ..., Marquis de Lafayette.

よろしく ムッシュー！

Thank you very much.

どうもありがとう！

Look, if you wanted to get around that would be the way you do it.

街を回れそうだね

Old school taxi.

昔のタクシーだね

I believe that is General George Washington over there.

ジョージ・ワシントン将軍です

Are you the famous General George Washington?

有名なジョージ・ワシントン将軍ですか？

My name is Washington, if that is what you mean. Oh, so that is before you were a general?

- いかにも ワシントンだ - 将軍になる前ですか？

No, I'm a retired general. Oh, ok.

退役大将さ

But is a very unhumbled man who would refer to himself as famous.

謙虚な人物だね

Everything about him is big.

立派な馬だろ

So Dude, this is the blacksmith. This is where they made like axes and swords and all kinds of stuff. Let's go in over there.

鍛冶屋に行くよ 斧や剣を作る場所だよ

So he's working on an axil just from here, so you can tell that this side is much smaller than this size.

こちら側の方が小さくなってます

It broke off right there.

こんにちは

Oh yeah, a wheel maker.

- 何を作ってますか？ - 大工の荷馬車に使う車輪だよ

Hello there. Hello.

車輪の中心さ

What are you making right now?

背の高さと同じだね

I am building a pair of wheels for a cart for the carpenter's yard up the street.

すごいね！

The center of the wheel. Wheel rights make more than wheels, you have to build the whole body if you want to make a living.

製本の説明を受けた時 子供達は疲れていました

Look, it's as tall as you girls.

全部見れませんでしたが また来たいです

That is crazy, huh?

楽しかった？

About the time we were seeing how books were made, the kids were tired and wanted to do was go and pet the horses.

コロニアル様式の庭園

We had to cut our trip short, but we certainly want to come back to this fascinating place.

古い柵

How was it Joshua?

古い柵 馬は200歳かな？

He was like, ehh.

冗談

Some pretty colonial gardens.

そろそろ出発です

Look at these old fences.

この家のお気に入りは？
