這標題是從一個也跟我們一樣在東京的台灣朋友的MSN狀態借來用的。
The title “We are fine as usual today” was borrowed from the MSN Messenger’s status of a Taiwanese friend who lives in Tokyo as well.
日本有些公司規定員工得寫週報或是日報，紀錄員工當天幾點幾分做了哪些事情，有那些收穫，活像個小學生被規定要寫的日記周記聯絡簿。艾迪與塔嘻最近也很忙碌，只要東京電力那邊出了甚麼包、我們就得趕快去找新聞與相關資訊來看，並分析事情的嚴重性，再轉告給親朋好友知道我們一切安好，好讓在各國被媒體轟炸的他們安心。
Some Japanese companies require their employees to write a weekly or daily journal to record what they do at what time, and what they learn on that week/day, just like a pupil. Eddie and Tarcy have been busy in these days. As long as the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) causes any trouble, we are urgently looking for the news and related information to understand what’s happened and tell our families and friends that we’re fine, so that those who are overwhelmed by the media can feel somewhat relieved.

東電最新的包是：從福島縣數個農家所產的牛奶、茨城產的菠菜、以及一都五縣的自來水中檢測出輻射物。
The latest trouble from TEPCO is: radiation was detected from milk of several farmers in Fukushima Prefecture, spinach of Ibaraki Prefecture, and tap water of 6 places including Tokyo.
（輻射佈滿天了你們這些死小孩還在外面玩的這麼開心～XD / How come those naughty kids still enjoy playing ourside even the air is full of radiation!!）
多嚇人的包啊，艾迪和塔嘻也不是不怕死的，趕緊看了一堆新聞與公告，還有日本Yahoo知恵袋（在台灣就是奇摩知識），心得分兩部分總結如下：
What a scaring trouble! Eddie and Tarcy still want to have a long life, thus hurry to read lots of news, announcements and Japanese Yahoo! Answers, finally have a conclusion as explained by two parts:
牛奶與菠菜檢測出的輻射物超出法定基準：此基準的定義是，如果一年持續吃這些帶有超過標準輻射物的東西的話會對人體有害，因此若是真的吃了一些也不會有立即的影響。我們當然是能避就避，對牛奶的話沒有甚麼方法可辦，就是注意點別喝那個產地的牛奶囉～（雖然超市的牛奶櫃永遠都是空的XD）但菠菜的話倒是以平常的方式水洗便可洗去90%的輻射物，加上這次檢出來的セシウム137（caesium，銫）與ヨウ素131（iodine，碘）雖容易被人體吸收，但也會自人體內排出。
The measure of detected radiation from milk and spinach is over statutory threshold: the threshold is determined as to be harmful to health if you continue to have the over-threshold-polluted food for one year. Therefore it doesn’t harm your body immediately even you have some. Of course we try hard to avoid this kind of food. There is nothing to do with milk but just be careful of the milk from the place (the supermarket’s fridge of milk is always empty though). As for the spinach, normally washing it can remove 90% of the radiation. Although the detected radiation cesium 137 and iodine 131 are easily absorbed by human body, they are also discharged from human body.
自來水檢測出的輻射物低於法定基準：若以日本法定基準規定，碘的攝取上限是300ベクレル（becquerel），東京自來水檢出的數值為1.5ベクレル，飲用上對身體無害。根據健康局的公告所示，有部分的調查指出透過活性碳能有效過濾輻射物，因此各水道業者的檢測指數若趨近法定基準時，健康局會要求他們先以活性碳過濾水才提供給大眾使用，而當指數超過法定基準時則會提供飲用水。
The measure of detected radiation from the tap water is lower than statutory threshold. In Japan, the statutory threshold for iodine is 300 becquerel, and the value measured from Tokyo’s tap water is 1.5 becquerel, which is far lower and isn’t harmful to health. According to the announcement of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, some evidences indicate that activated carbon filtration can effectively filter radiation. When the measure is close to the threshold, the authority will ask the waterworks to implement a activated carbon filtration, and when the measure is higher than the threshold the authority will supply potable water instead.
（官方說法信不信由你囉～艾迪與塔嘻選擇相信才不會整天疑神疑鬼弄得精神衰弱）
（Believe it or not, this is the above official statement. We decided to belive it to have an easier life!）
這麼一說，三年前艾迪與塔嘻來日本念書時便把在台灣使用的淨水器帶來使用，如今正好派上一點用場～內用活性碳濾心與紫外線同時殺菌的安麗益之源淨水器（絕非廣告文，只是剛好我們買的是這台）：
By the way, we took the water purifier used in Taiwan with us to Japan 3 year ago when we came to study, and never thought it will help us a bit today! The Amway eSpring water purifier equipped with multi-stage carbon-block filter and ultraviolet light sterilization (not an advertisement but we just happened to buy this one):
才剛換濾心不到一個月，指數100（指數到0還不換濾心的話，過濾水時就會一直逼逼叫，催你花錢啦）：
The filter was just changed less than one month ago, indicator is 100 (when it comes to 0 and you don’t change the filter, it will do filtering while beeping, chasing you to pay money):
因為是放在洗碗槽邊，怕被水噴到所以平常都是這副穿衣的德性：
It’s located around the sink, so usually it wears its “cloth” to avoid splashed by water:

Just like a robot protecting us!
艾迪覺得頗有Android機器人的味道說：

上面提到的是我們倆綜合的結論，並不表示完全正確，僅供參考。每個人都要有自己吸收資訊與判斷的能力呀！不過我們倆大概屬於隨遇而安型，因為不想得被害妄想症囉～
What has been mentioned above was concluded by us. Nothing is perfectly correct but just for your reference. You should have the ability to find the information and conclude by yourself. We just like to take it easy, not worry too much.
