Morning~各位早上好，这里是Echo陪你练口语，我是森仪。
好久不见啦，大家是不是也要开始放寒假了呢？天冷记得多加衣~
今天想跟大家聊一款突然很火的佛性小游戏——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是独立的意思，获得独立可以说是gain independence from，作形容词就可以说be independent of/from.
我自己是个挺佛的人，也不经常玩游戏。之前很火的《钱与野男人》——Love and Producer小池也给大家推过，但我的少女心有限还是选择吃了小呱呱的安利。
While the tutorial is rather easy to getthrough, it seems harder to understand what to do after you complete it. 我想这也是大家说这个游戏很佛的原因之一。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，就该多出去走走。穷游也好，度假也好，we will eventually be what we see and what we experience.
另外一个有意思的现象是，如果你认真为他准备旅行背包，装上不廉价的食物和物品以及护身符的话，他就会背回来更多的特产和点心。
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，也可能得个安慰奖。A game of pure odds just adds to the fun of the game.
这个游戏安卓有汉化版本，不过我觉得日文也是可以连蒙带猜着玩的，毕竟是个light-load的温馨小游戏蛤蛤。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.
这就是这个游戏与众不同的地方，你并不能控制你的小呱呱，也必须尊重他的privacy。他也很真实，有时候读书很认真，有时候还会读着读着打瞌睡。
玩游戏的大多都有一种老母亲的感觉。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.但对很多玩家来说，这反而是一种轻松的放养游戏。
Parenting是指父母育儿，同样表达被抚养大也可以说：
I was brought up by mygrandparents.
在这里我想继续安利这家公司的另一款小游戏，Neko Atsume, Kitty Collector.这个游戏下载之后可以选择日文或者英文。
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.
这个游戏的货币是小银鱼和小金鱼，所以来玩过的小猫常带的礼物就是鱼。The catbook of the game has 16 pages, so just expect who’s the next!
这样的互动也是能实现二次元云吸猫啦（会有猫的！）
不说了，我也要和我的小呱呱一起看书啦。
Have a nice day.
