Note: He has a rather strong French accent. A lot of words he used in the video are very frequently used in daily speech. There were a few mistakes in his speech. I've written the corrections down below.

大家好!我是元元
我今天要介紹給你看一些
我來台灣之前
可能是我完全不知道
還是我真的很少用到
的幾個東西
通常我們到新的國家的時候
我們一定會發現很多新的事情
比如說:語言,文化
大家的習慣
但是還有幾個,幾個產品
在我們的國家,我們可能完全沒有用過
還是很少用過,還是沒有聽過
我今天要介紹給你幾個這些東西
第一:
對,這個!
這個東西!
法國沒有這件事情
有蚊子的話,超方便,你按這個
這個會有電
就殺掉了
但我跟你說,法國沒有這個
我們也沒有聽過有這件事情
所以從小如果有蚊子的話
那你真的要。。
準備好。。
然後砰!
殺了
然後如果不是雙手,如果它在牆壁上,你要打它
有時候,因為它已經叮了你
然後你的牆壁會有一個紅色的點點
為什麼法國沒有?
我真的不知道
這麼好的一個東西
超方便,我超喜歡
好,第二個是什麼呢?
哦,有一點熱
對!
這個東西:冷氣!
你知道嗎,法國基本上沒有冷氣
在法國,因為我們的夏天
很熱,但沒有台灣那麼熱
而且沒有台灣那麼長
法國就算夏天很熱,但是
晚上一定會比較冷
冷很多,所以
在我們的文化,我們完全沒有買冷氣的習慣
現在這幾年
每個夏天都有一個,兩個禮拜
很熱,熱到受不了
然後每個夏天大家都在辯論
要不要買冷氣,然後
大部分的人還是說:我不要買冷氣,我不需要
才一個兩個禮拜,我可以忍得住
所以我現在不要買
我的家人都這樣
我不知道任何人家裡有冷氣
我是到台灣才發現冷氣其實很正常
每個家庭都有冷氣
而且不只一個
OK,第三個:
你先會以為我在騙你
然後我會解釋
然後你會覺得 “哦,原來如此!”
我給你看!
法國很少人有雨傘
你不相信我嗎?
很有趣的是當然每個國家都有雨傘,但是
法國下雨的樣子
沒有台灣那麼可怕
雨沒有那麼大
我們在法國好像如果下雨
只是毛毛雨
不會很大
如果下雨的話
我們會穿雨衣
一種防水的外套
我小時候很少帶雨傘
非常少,可能一年一兩次
台灣有一些專業賣雨傘的店
裡面,整個都是雨傘
然後你可以選它的大小
它的一些特色
這種店法國完全沒有
如果要去買雨傘,我們去家樂福
我們去那種超級市場買雨傘
我本來都去雨傘的店買
但是我後來都去7eleven
買一般的雨傘
因為我知道很快會有人偷我的雨傘
還是我的雨傘會壞掉或不見,所以
我現在要買便宜就好
你知道下一個是什麼嗎?
下一個,大部分西方的國家不會有
但是最近還是所有的國家都有
你知道那是什麼嗎?
你知道嗎?
對,叮咚叮咚!是口罩
我是10年前第一次來台灣
發現很多人會戴口罩
那個時候我沒有看過
法國,我完全沒看過
也完全不知道哪裡可以買
現在我相信整個世界
的人知道口罩是什麼
OK,下一個
我要給你看,下一個很大
下一個,很多家庭都會有
但是不一定
然後很大,也很重
你知道是什麼嗎?
其實跟冷氣有一點點的關係
那是。。
等一下,我要這樣子
對,你知道那是什麼?
除濕機
除濕機,法國完全沒有
完全不會有人知道除濕機是什麼
因為法國沒有很濕
我到台灣才知道
我本來有一兩年都沒有買
有除濕機,呼吸的空氣比較舒服我覺得
然後冬天如果要在室內曬衣服
那有除濕機超棒的
讚
好,那這個影片快結束,但還有一個
我之前完全不知道的東西
然後在台灣才知道
其實你在這個影片已經有看到的
你知道是什麼?
仔細看一下
好,給你看,給你zoom一下
哦?元元的眼睛
對,我在講的是隱形眼鏡
我是特地買隱形眼鏡為了拍這部影片
法國當然會有隱形眼鏡,但是
台灣有這個東西是
有顏色的隱形眼鏡
所以基本上不是隱形眼鏡
那是眼鏡嗎?
法國人如果有近視,可能會選隱形眼鏡
但是不是為了好看,不是為了可愛
是為了要看東西
我到台灣發現
有這種有顏色的隱形眼鏡,然後
眼鏡會變大,還是會有不一樣的樣子
不一樣的顏色
我覺得很有趣,然後我也發現
還會有沒有近視的隱形眼鏡
像我現在買的
因為我沒有近視
我不會戴眼鏡,所以
我如果要戴的話
還是可以買沒有近視的隱形眼鏡
然後基本上沒有用,因為我不需要,但是
只是為了眼睛比較大
然後其實我最近在想
是不是最近
戴這種隱形眼鏡的人比較少嗎?
我在想是不是因為
IG,snapchat的特效
已經有眼睛大大的,有顏色的,所以
大家覺得不需要買這種隱形眼鏡
是不是,你不覺得嗎?
OK再一次看元元的眼睛
歐,好像很累(黑眼圈很大)
對,我真的不會戴,而且
戴的時候我覺得有一點可怕
這是我在台灣的第二次試試看
我覺得蠻有趣
我幾年前也是試試看
好,今天的影片到這裡
你如果喜歡的話,你可以幫我按讚
訂閱,還有分享這個影片
有興趣的話你可以去看我的IG

然後跟妳說下禮拜見!
掰掰!

Hello everyone! I'm Yuan Yuan
Today I will talk about some things that
I had no clue about
before I came to Taiwan
or that I almost never used
before coming here
Usually wen we go to a new country
we obviously discover a lot of new things
for example: the language, culture
people's habits, etc
and also, there are some products
that in our country we never used
or rarely used, or didn't even hear about
today I want to introduce some of these things
first one:
Yes, this one! An electric racket
That thing...
France doesn't have at all
If there is a mosquito, it's so convenient, you press here
it will electrify
and kill the mosquito
I'm telling you, France doesn't have that
I never heard about that before
so when we have a mosquito in France
you need to...
get ready...
Then bang!
got it
and if it's not with both hands, maybe it's on the wall and you need to smash it
sometimes, because it has bitten you
your wall will have a red dot after that...
why isn't this in France??
I really don't know
such a great product
super convenient, I really like it
Second, what is it?
Wait a second, it's too hot in here
Yes
This thing: air-conditioning!
Did you know that France basically doesn't have air conditioning?
in France, because our summer
is not as hot as Taiwan's
and also not as long
France is hot in the summer, but
it's much cooler at night
much much cooler, so
we are not used to buying air conditioning
but in the recent years
every summer there is 1 or 2 weeks
where it's crazy hot
and everyone is talking debating
whether or not we should buy air conditioning, and
most people still say: I don't need one, I don't want one
It's just a short period of heat, I can handle this
So I don't want to buy
all my family is like that
I don't know anyone with air conditioning
I only realized how common it is when I got in Taiwan
There's air-con in every house
and not just one
OK, third:
First you'll think I'm lying to you
then I will explain
then you will feel, "Oh, I see!"
Let me show you
We don't really use umbrellas in France
you do not believe me?
It is interesting that of course each country has umbrellas, but
The rain in France
is not crazy like in Taiwan
The rain is not so big
it's more like drizzle usually
small rain
nothing big
if it rains, then
we have waterproof jackets
some kind of raincoat
I almost never used an umbrella when I was a kid
Really seldom, maybe once or twice a year
In Taiwan, there are shops specialized in umbrellas
inside it's all umbrellas
You have all sorts of sizes
different features
we don't have those in France
If we want to buy an umbrella, we go to Carrefour
or this kind of supermarket
Previously, I used to go to those specialized umbrellas shops
but now I mostly buy at 7eleven
some very general umbrellas
because I know soon some people would steal my umbrella (by mistake?)
or it will get damaged, or disappear
so I just want to buy a cheap one
Next, do you know what it is?
It's not common in most western countries
but recently all countries have it
you know what that is?
do you know?
Yes! Face masks
10 years when I came to Taiwan
I realized a lot of people wore a mask
I never saw that before
In France, I never saw it
and I have no idea where I could get one
But now, the whole world
knows about face masks
OK, next one
It's really big
And most households have one
even though it's not mandatory
it's big, and heavy
do you know what it is?
Actually, it's a little similar to air conditioning
That is...
Let me get that
right, you know what that is?
A dehumidifier
dehumidifier, France doesn't have
nobody in France knows what this is
because France is not very humid
I only know since I came to Taiwan
The first 2 years I didn't buy
with a dehumidifier, the air is nicer to breath
and in the winter, if you dry clothes indoor
it's very useful to have one
Great
OK, it's almost the end of the video, but there is a last one
I didn't know about before
but I learned about in Taiwan
Actually you already saw it in this video
You know what it is?
Look closer
Let me zoom for you
Oh? Yuan Yuan's eyes
Right, I'm talking about those contact lens
I bought them just for this video
in France, of course there are be contact lenses, but
there is this thing in Taiwan
colored contact lenses
so basically they are not invisible
not so basically it's glasses? (in chinese, it's called invisible glasses, so if they are no longer invisible, they are just glasses, ha ha)
In France, people who need glasses may get contact lenses
But they don't buy it to look cute
they get them to see better
And in Taiwan
there is this kind of colored contact lens
the eyes become bigger, or different style
different color
I find it interesting, and I realized
there is also contact lens without sight correction
Like this one I have now
Because I don't need glasses
I don't need glasses, so
If I want contact lenses
I can still buy some without sight correction
they are basically useless, not necessary, but
they give me larger eyes
and recently, I was thinking
it seems like
there are less people wearing those these days
I think it's because
IG or Snapchat have filters
that already give you big and colored eyes, so
maybe people don't feel the need to buy those anymore
Isn't it?
OK, let's take a last look at Yuan Yuan's eyes
Oh, I look so tired
Yeah, usually I don't wear that, and
It's a little scary to put on
It's the second time I try in Taiwan
It's interesting
I tried a few years ago
OK, that's it for today
If you like it, you can give me a like

And I'll see you next week!
Bye bye!

然后你的墙壁会有一个红色的点点
为什么法国没有?
我真的不知道
这么好的一个东西
超方便,我超喜欢
好,第二个是什么呢?
哦,有一点热
对!
这个东西:冷气!
你知道吗,法国基本上没有冷气
