国外QA:日本为什么那么安全？
Why is Japan so safe?
译文简介
网友：日本如此安全主要有四个原因，接下来我会将日本和美国进行比较，因为我本人就来自美国。日本民族更加单一，与美国相比日本种族间的紧张关系简直就微不足道。日本经济发展更加平衡，与美国相比，日本的收入差距较小。这就减少了人们的仇富心理，和抢劫的动机。企业高管不会动辄就拿数百万美元的奖金......

Japan is safe for four main reasons. I'll compare it to America since that's where I'm from:
Japan is much more ethnically homogenous. Racial tensions are tiny compared to the U.S.
Japan is much more economically homogenous. Income differences are very small compared to the States. This leads to less jealousy and incentive to rob/steal. CEOs don't take multi-million dollar bonuses when the company is in trouble.
日本如此安全主要有四个原因，接下来我会将日本和美国进行比较，因为我本人就来自美国
日本民族更加单一，与美国相比日本种族间的紧张关系简直就微不足道
日本经济发展更加平衡，与美国相比，日本的收入差距较小。这就减少了人们的仇富心理，和抢劫的动机。企业高管不会动辄就拿数百万美元的奖金。
No guns. Actually, you're not even allowed to walk around with a knife in your bag. Straight to jail. Some of my friends argue that having a gun keeps them safe. But if you need a gun to be safe, you're not in a safe place.
日本人更加强调集体意识。虽然这存在副作用，但在学校，工作场合和灾难期间，集体意识却能为创造和谐发挥出奇妙的作用。
日本禁枪。实际上，在日本外出的时候，把刀子放在袋子里面也是不允许的。会被直接送入监狱。我的一些朋友认为枪才能保证自己的安全。但如果你需要枪来保证安全，那么这说明你自己本身所在的环境并不安全。
Does your son not experience any problems with bullying, etc. in school? Japan has this rather vile student culture of bullying people who are different, particularly if they're not Japanese, and a teacher culture that condones it. Yeah, they'll smile and treat you well and be nice to you on the surface, but once you leave the house they start to gossip and whatnot, and the general feeling is that you never really assimilate with society if you're not Japanese.
你的儿子难道没有在日本学校遭遇到校园霸凌的事情吗？日本的学生文化非常糟糕，他们会欺负与自己不一样的人，尤其是欺负那些非本国人，而日本的老师却对此一味的纵容。他们可能会表面上对你微笑，对你非常的友好，但一旦你离开房间，那么他们就会开始说你的八卦，一般说来，如果你不是日本人的话，是无法融入日本社会的

Bullying is a problem in Japan but in a different way in the U.S. When I was junior high in America, bullying was violent; pushing someone around, beating them up etc (I was on the receiving end). But in Japan, bullying is more about not being accepted by the group/class. They get ostracized. It is a problem but in the last few years I've seen schools introducing stricter policies against it.
日本的校园欺凌的确是一个问题，美国也有这样的问题，但表现形式与日本不同。当我在美国上初中的时候，发现那里的校园霸凌非常的暴力。他们会把人推来推去，对他们进行殴打（我也遭受过这种事情）。但在日本，霸凌的表现形式更多的表现在不被群体接纳，遭到排斥。这是一个问题，但在过去几年，我看到有些学校已经实施了更加严厉的政策来解决这个问题

Emotional bullying can be every bit as bad on a child as physical bullying. I know a mixed (part Japanese) girl in this country. She was 13 and really a beautiful girl. She was being emotionally bullied. She blew her brains out with her father's (a cop) gun.
对孩子来说，精神上的霸凌和肉体上的霸凌一样糟糕。我认识一个日本的混血儿，她只有13岁，长得非常的漂亮，当时她正在被人精神霸凌，后来她用自己爸爸的枪结束了自己的生命（她爸爸是警察）。
I agree. Emotional bullying can be just as bad.
我同意，精神霸凌同样糟糕
Yes, I was bullied and slandered when I was a child (10-18) but I grew up to live a better life than all of them. They hurt my self esteem really horribly but never made me want to harm myself. I only wished I had enough money to sue them. I mean, slander IS against the law!
是的，在我10到18岁的时候，我也遭遇过霸凌和诽谤，但我长大后，我的生活比他们都要好，他们深深的伤害了我的自尊，但我从来没有想过要自我伤害。我只希望有足够的钱去起诉他们。我的意思是，诽谤也是违法的
I think a lot of this makes sense. However, it is somewhat laughable that you say there are fewer racial tensions. Japan is one of the most overtly racist nations in the world, and one of the nations who actually have bans against non-Japanese entering an establishment. It is well known that Japanese are completely unaccepting of anyone other than Japanese. Even ethnic Koreans who were born in Japan and speak fluent Japanese are never considered Japanese.
我认为答主说的很有道理，但你说日本没有那么严重的种族紧张关系，我觉得就很好笑了。日本是世界上最公开的种族主义国家之一，也是世界上实际禁止非日本人进入机关的国家之一。众所周知，日本人完全不接受除日本人以外的任何人。即使是在日本出生、日语流利的朝鲜族也不会被视为日本人。
I hear what you're saying but I didn't say racism doesn't exist, I said the racial 'tension' is tiny in comparison. For example, there wouldn't be riots if a foreigner got shot by the police. That kind of tension just doesn't exist here.
我知道你的意思的，但我也并没有说日本不存在种族主义。我说的是种族紧张关系相对较小。比如，在日本，外国人遭到警察射杀不会爆发暴乱。这样的紧张关系在日本不存在
But this type of societal structure has it's drawbacks, too. Even without guns (the suicide weapon of choice in the US), the Japanese have a suicide rate 1.5 to 2 times that of The United States.
但是这种社会结构也有它的缺点。即使没有枪支(美国人的自杀武器)，日本人的自杀率也是美国的1.5倍到2倍。
It's certainly not perfect, you're right. And suicide is a serious problem, I witnessed a person jump in front of a train. But it is safe compared to America.
日本当然不完美，你说的没有错，自杀是一个很严重的问题，我曾见过一个人跳到驶来的火车面前自杀，但与美国相比，日本的确更加安全
This is to do with their way of thinking and mentality. I now understand how traditional Japanese people think. It is pretty depressing when one has to be in a frx of mind to succeed without a failure, there is no concept that people learn from mistakes as in the western society (although the society in big cities are very westernised).
这和日本人的思维方式和心态有关。我现在对传统日本人的思维方式有了一些了解。当一个人时刻想着只许成功不许失败的时候是非常压抑的，日本不像西方社会没有从错误中学习的概念。
Nice answer. The rate of gun deaths in DC is astounding and yes, it probably means that people have to carry to feel safe, whether they're in a gang, or protecting their family or just have to walk home at night. I enjoy living in Hawaii and feel safe, mainly because the rate of gun deaths are very low.
不错的答案。华盛顿的枪支死亡率令人震惊，这或许证明人们必须携带枪支才能感受到安全，无论他们是帮派成员，还是要保护家人，或者只是在晚上不得不步行回家。我喜欢夏威夷的生活，感觉那里很安全，主要是因为那里的枪支死亡率很低。
My father lived in Japan for two years, right after World War II and he LOVED the Japanese people. Thought of them as among the kindest people on Earth. I believe what you say about Japan above.
在二战结束以后，我父亲在日本生活了两年，他喜欢日本人民，认为他们是世界上最善良的人，我相信你上面有关日本的说法是真的。
My grandfather was also there after the war and was impressed with the harmony of the culture.
我祖父在战后也在那里，日本的和谐文化给他留下了深刻的印象
Also, japan doesn't supply weapons to terrorists or support terrorism.
而且，日本不会向恐怖分子提供武器或支持恐怖分子

"if you need a gun to be safe, you're not in a safe place." so very very true. I just don't understand the American doctrine of "more guns lead to a safer society".
“如果你需要枪来保证自己的安全，那么说明你所在的环境一点也不安全。”说的非常对。我真是不明白美国人为什么会相信“枪支越多，社会就越安全”的理念。
so much to learn America! wishing America will be a better place to live tomorrow!
美国还有很多需要学习的地方。希望美国以后可以变得更好。
I have been 30 years living here in Japan and I really sure that japan is the safetiest country in the world.
我在日本生活了30年，我相信日本是世界上最安全的国家。
Japan is not the only country with those characteristics. Many Asian countries do too especially Singpore. Sure, it keeps its racial homogeniety pretty perfect by excluding foreign settlers.
日本不是唯一一个具有上述特性的国家。许多亚洲国家，尤其是新加坡，也有这样的特性。新加坡通过不允许外国人定居来保持自己的种族同质化。
No guns, yet they have a suicide rate nearly twice that of the US which is awash with guns. Hmm. Note that most firearms deaths in the US are suicides.
日本虽然没有枪支，但他们的自杀率几乎是美国的两倍，请注意，大部分美国人自杀都是用枪完成的。
Japanese don't commit many crimes in Japan where there are no guns but they don't commit many crimes in the USA where there are plenty of guns. It's their culture which suppresses crime, not the lack of guns.
日本人在没有枪的日本犯罪率很低，在有枪的美国犯罪率也很低，日本人犯罪率低不是因为没有枪，而是因为他们的文化。
