Translation

Do you remember this?
これ覚えてる？
Yeah, this was a big deal for me.
うん、これは私にとって大事件だったわ。
I was fourteen, and it was an event called the Nashville Rubber Duck Race, and it is exactly as it sounds.
私は14歳で、ナッシュビルラバーダックレースというイベントがあって、その名の通りのものだったの。
They would put rubber ducks in the river, and see who won.
川にラバーダックを流して、誰が勝つかを見るの。
And I was the official entertainment.
そして私は公式のエンターテイナーだったの。
She was fourteen, and she says it was a big deal for her.
彼女は14歳で、それは彼女にとって大事件だったと言っています。
Something as a big deal means it's of great importance, and we'll use it a lot too in the negative to say, oh, it's not a big deal.
何かがビッグディールだということは、非常に重要だということを意味します。また、否定形で「ああ、大したことじゃない」というふうによく使います。
So, for example, let's say I help you to move because you're moving apartments, and you say, oh, thank you so much, I appreciate it.
例えば、あなたが引っ越しするから手伝ってあげて、あなたが「ああ、本当にありがとう、助かります」と言うとします。
I say, oh, it's no big deal, meaning that oh, it wasn't that important.
私は「ああ、大したことじゃないよ」と言い、つまり「そんなに重要じゃなかったよ」という意味です。
It was my pleasure.
どういたしまして。
Yeah, I also think that it's mostly used in this negative form.
うん、私も主にこの否定形で使われると考えています。
You could also say that someone is a big deal.
誰かがビッグディールだと言うこともできます。
Like nowadays, Taylor Swift is a big deal, meaning that she is someone very important.
例えば今、テイラー・スウィフトはビッグディールで、つまり非常に重要な人物だという意味です。
She's a VIP.
彼女はVIPです。
And here she says that the event was the rubber duck race.
そして彼女はここで、そのイベントはラバーダックレースだったと言っています。
Yes, the rubber ducks are those cute, small, yellow ducks, right?
そう、ラバーダックはあの可愛い小さな黄色いアヒルのことだよね？
And the race is actually the competition.
そしてレースは実際には競争のことです。
Yeah, who gets first?
うん、誰が1位になるかだね。
