A few hours later; at Pearl Harbor
Jun: Hawaii is nothing like Utah. Are you sure this is the same country?
Lisa: Hawaii is really unique. Last state in the union. The only island state. No racial majority.
Jun: No majority? Everyone here looks Asian to me.
Lisa: Some of those are native Hawaiians. Some are Japanese, Filipino, Chinese, Fijian, Tongan. Twenty-four percent is white, but really, everyone's just all mixed up here.
Jun: I guess you fit right in here, being half Japanese and half white.
Lisa: There's even a Hawaiian word for that! I'm a hapa.

小君：夏威夷跟猶他州完全不同。你確定這是在同一個(gè)國家嗎？
莉莎：夏威夷的確很獨(dú)特。是美國的最后一州。也是的州島。沒有多數(shù)民族。
小君：沒有多數(shù)民族？這里的每個(gè)人在我看來都像亞洲人。
莉莎：他們有些是夏威夷原住民。有些是日本人、菲律賓人、中國人、斐濟(jì)人、東加人。百分二十四是白人，但事實(shí)上，這里每個(gè)人都是混血兒。
小君：我想你很適合這里，你是一半日本人，一半白人。
莉莎：甚至還有一個(gè)夏威夷字用來指這種混血兒。我是一個(gè)‘哈帕’。
