This video explores the differences in the expression “start from scratch” in Chinese, English, and Japanese. I first introduced the Chinese “从零开始”, which corresponds to the English “start from scratch”, meaning starting from scratch. Then, the Japanese expressions are “ゼロからやり直す” and “一からやり直す”, which emphasize starting over from zero or the first step respectively. The video also shares other related expressions, such as “再来一次” in Chinese and “restart、retry” in English, as well as “再出発” and “リトライ” in Japanese, to help viewers better understand the subtle differences in these languages.
