街坊：日本人觉得自己穷吗？
Do The Japanese Feel Poor? | Street Interview
译文简介
如果有这么多日本人像你说的那样苦苦挣扎，那么全国各地的娱乐公园就不会是日本人每个周末的目的地了。当人们苦苦挣扎时，他们几乎没有钱吃得舒服，住房子和支付账单。人们并不像你说的那么苦不堪言，这可能是你自己的想象、我相信现在有相当多的日本人（过得不如意），但如果说“我认识的每个日本人现在都在苦苦挣扎”，那就太天真了

It's not about how much you make, but how much things cost. This is why inflation is worse than having a small wage.
这不是你赚了多少钱的问题，而是花了多少钱。这就是为什么通货膨胀比工资微薄更糟糕的原因了。

Oh you got that backwards. The income is more important, because it's something you can control.
哦，你说反了。收入更重要，因为它是你可以控制的。
They are both important. It's the ratio that gives the results.
二者都很重要，这取决于比例。
@Dayvit78
Have you seen the prices of the San Francisco Bay Area. Imagine if they built enough skyscrapers' apartment Complexes. The housing cost would come down for future generations.
Deflation is good for the economy. As well as increasing the supply to outpace demand.
你看到旧金山湾区的房价了吗。想象一下，如果他们建造了足够多的摩天大楼公寓楼。子孙后代的住房成本将会降低。
通货紧缩对经济有利。增加供应以超需求也是如此。
@CoreyANeal2000
if they build all of that,the price of a house around there will go up higher..The more developed the area is,the more expensive its gonna be..Housing costs will never go down in a developed area.
如果他们把所有这些都建起来，那里的房价会更高。这个地区越发达，房价就越贵。在发达地区，房价永远不会下降。
@MrLobak-ny8iu
It's Supply and Demand. The population of the Bay Area and the Demand vs how much housing is available. If you were to build a surplus of housing. The cost would go down.
这是供求关系。湾区人口和需求与可用住房数量的关系。如果你要建更多的房子，那么住房成本会下降。
I agree about it’s not about how much you make, but really how much you can buy. I have a friend who lives in the Bay Area, and his salary is 150k/year. He still can’t afford a decent home. It’s easier for politicians to just increase the minimum wage, but it’s very hard to control prices. However, they forget that increasing the minimum wage doesn’t solve the problem, it just makes more people jobless.
我同意，这不在于你赚多少，而是你能买多少。我有一个朋友住在湾区，他的工资是15万/年，可他仍然买不起像样的房子。政客们提高最低工资更容易，但控制物价却非常困难。然而，他们忘记了提高最低工资并不能解决问题，它只会让更多的人失业。
As someone who lived in Japan until very recently, it always frustrates me when videos shows prices in Japan (converted to USD) and all the comments talk about how cheap Japan is and how they could live such a luxurious lifestyle. You can't look at Japanese prices through the lense of your American salary! For locals making local salaries, these prices are really hard to afford! Literally everyone I knew in Japan felt like they were struggling financially. I'm so glad AsianBoss decided to tackle the nuances of this issue rather than going the clickbaity route
作为一个目前还在日本生活的人，当看到视频显示日本的价格（换算成美元），所有的评论都在谈论日本（物价）有多便宜，以及他们如何在那里过上如此奢华的生活时，我总是感到沮丧。你不能从美国物价的角度来看待日本的价格！对于领工资的当地人来说，这些价格真的很难承受！实际上，我在日本认识的每个人都觉得他们在经济上很窘迫。我很高兴AsianBoss决定解决这个问题的细枝末节，而不是挣流量博眼球

Calm down angry person … everyone is struggling … low wages and high rent is a common problem in every country
冷静下来，愤怒的人…每个人都在挣扎…低工资和高租金是每个国家面对的共同问题
@anthonyfam5469
If so many Japanese people were struggling like you said, amusements parks all over the country wouldn’t be a destination to Japanese people every weekend etc, when people are struggling this much they barely have money to eat comfortably and do housing stuff and pay bills, people are not struggling as you said, it might be your own vision, I believe there are a significant number of Japanese people right now but it would be so naive to say “ everyone Japanese I know is struggling right now
如果有这么多日本人像你说的那样苦苦挣扎，那么全国各地的娱乐公园就不会是日本人每个周末的目的地了。当人们苦苦挣扎时，他们几乎没有钱吃得舒服，住房子和支付账单。人们并不像你说的那么苦不堪言，这可能是你自己的想象、我相信现在有相当多的日本人（过得不如意），但如果说“我认识的每个日本人现在都在苦苦挣扎”，那就太天真了
The interviewers did an excellent job.
采访者们做得好。
I’m in the Uk and watch vids from worldwide and it’s so clear that the whole world is broken . We are all getting squeezed dry with no end in sight . Here it’s food, petrol ,rent and electricity that suck the most . My rent has doubled also in just 2 years and my state sick pay( I’m disabled) hasn’t really kept up with these increases. I feel for the younger generation the most . All on here point out if they didn’t live a home and have family help they couldn’t survive. It’s so sad really .
我在英国，观看来自世界各地的视频，很明显，整个世界都在崩塌。我们都被榨干了，看不到尽头。在这里，食物、汽油、租金和电力受影响最大。我的房租在短短两年内也翻了一番，而我的州病退工资（我是残疾人）并没有真正跟上这些增长的速度。我最同情年轻一代。这里的所有人都指出，如果他们没有家，没有家人的帮助，他们就无法生存。我真的很难过。
Businesses are making record profits, but wages never go up.
企业的利润创下历史新高，但工资永远不会上涨。
My husband is Japanese but he moved to my country, Philippines 4yrs ago because his income was just enough for everything and we didnt even live in Tokyo. He has a job in IT here in the PH and the salary is lower than Japan but it is high enough to be in upper middle class in PH. I also live very comfortably in the PH vs Japan, having my own house in those gated communities and lot in a major city and car. Japan has a lot of nice things but ngl it was very expensive. Also, I think wealth and socioeconomic status is so relative from country to country. I'm also a believer that one should go where one flourishes especilaly financially.
我丈夫是日本人，但他4年前搬来了我的国家菲律宾，因为他的收入将将够营生，而我们甚至都不住在东京。他在菲律宾的IT部门有一份工作，薪水比日本低，但在这里足够高，可以进入中上阶层。我在菲律宾的生活得也比日本舒适，在大城市里有房和车。日本有很多好东西，但奈何价格都很贵。此外，我认为各国的财富和社会经济地位是相对的。我也相信一个人应该去繁荣发展的地方，尤其是经济上。
earning 20000USD in developing nations is better than earing 30000 35000 in developed nations which is way below per capita
发展中国家的收入为20000美元，而发达国家的收入为30000、35000美元。而前者比后者好，因为后者远低于人均收入
These interviews were so interesting and thought provoking. Japanese people can appear quiet and reserved, but once you speak to them they're so open, kind, and honest!
这些采访非常有趣，发人深省。日本人可能看起来安静而矜持，但一旦你和他们说话，他们就会变得如此开放、善良和诚实！
Prices increasing and wages stagnating are indeed an issue in many countries right now.
物价上涨和工资停滞确实是目前许多国家面临的一个问题。

That was a very eye opening video. Having spent a lot of time in Japan and briefly googled what average wages were, I was very surprised to hear all those people's answers being considerably lower than expected. As a foreigner you feel like Japan is so far ahead of other countries because of the incredible infrastructure they have there, the efficiency of everything and the abundance of choice of everything. It is good that their social nets seem stronger than most countries, but sad that the average person doesn't have the purchasing power to go beyond their basic necessities. Hopefully things will change for the better.
这是一个令人大开眼界的视频。我在日本呆了很长时间，并在谷歌上简单地搜索了一下平均工资是多少，我很惊讶地听到所有这些人的回答比预期的要低得多。作为一个外国人，你会觉得日本远远领先于其他国家，因为他们拥有令人难以置信的基础设施，一切事情高效运营，充满各种选择。他们的社会网络似乎比大多数国家都强大，这是好事、但可悲的是，普通人没有钱来买生活基本必需品。希望情况会好转。
not surprising considering japan has been in deflation for 30 years.
考虑到日本已经通货紧缩了30年，这并不奇怪。

Things will only change for the worse because Japan is a rapidly aging population with a birth rate that is below replacement rate for many decades now so both Japan and many other developed countries will be in for some really tough times ahead. The future will not be better.
情况只会变得更糟，因为日本人口快速老龄化，出生率几十年来一直低于死亡率。因此日本和许多其他发达国家都将面临一段非常艰难的时期，未来堪忧。
In South Korea, Japan, and China, as long as you have money, you can live very well. There are many people competing to serve you, but in Europe, this is not the case. Even if you are wealthy, you cannot enjoy services like in East Asian countries
在韩国、日本和中国，只要你有钱，你就能过得很好，有很多人争相为您服务。但在欧洲，情况并非如此。即使你很富有，你也不能享受像在东亚国家那样的服务
I have lived in Japan for almost a decade. The labor wage is stagnant for almost 30 years, whilst tax and living expenses are increasing.
That’s why more and more productive and young people would like to leave Japan and find better opportunities overseas.
我在日本生活了将近十年。这里的工资近30年没有涨了，而税收和生活费用却在增加。
这就是为什么越来越多富有生产力的年轻人希望离开日本，在海外寻找更好的机会。

It sounds like America, minus the last part
除了最后一部分，听起来很像是美国
This is really one of the best interviews. The interviewer did a really good job. Nothing spectacular but every question was well thought out and she was careful not to hurt anyone's feelings. Really job well done.
这真的是最好的采访之一。记者做得很好。看着没有什么了不起的，但每个问题都经过了深思熟虑，她很小心地不伤害任何人的感情。真的做得很好。
I live in Japan and i have decided to move back to Germany this year. It’s very difficult to get by on a Japanese salary. I barely have enough money to get by every month. My parents are the ones paying for my flights, despite me working full time in the business sector. If they wouldn’t, i would be unable to even afford to move back by myself.
我住在日本，今年我决定搬回德国。靠日本人的薪水过日子很困难。我几乎没有足够的钱来维持每个月的生活。尽管我在商业部门全职工作，但我的父母还是为我的航班买单。如果他们不这样做，我甚至无法承担飞回来的机票。
I was in Japan last year. I was surprised how affordable everything was, but Japanese people thought the cost of living was high.
我去年在日本。我很惊讶的是，这里所有东西都不贵，但日本人认为生活成本很高。
One of the rarest videos you`ll find these days. It reveals why many gullible families and young people move to teach English in Japan and realise rather late that they`ll end up poorer than in their own countries because cost of living is high, taxes are high and pension payouts are too low to survive retirement. So many have to work late into their 60s. They cannot afford to retire.
这是你现在能找到的最稀有的视频之一。它揭示了为什么许多易上当受骗的家庭和年轻人搬到日本教英语，但最后才意识到他们会比在自己的国家更穷。原因是日本生活成本高，税收高，养老金支付太低，无法支持退休生活。许多人不得不工作到60多岁，他们还不能退休。
The problem with Japan is that even though the wages are so low and it is difficult to live, there are few Japanese people who go abroad unlike other Asian countries such as Korea, China, Vietnam and India. If more and more Japanese people go abroad, countries and companies will have a sense of crisis, and they will have to raise wages due to lack of manpower.
日本的问题是，尽管工资很低，生活也很困难，但与韩国、中国、越南和印度等其他亚洲国家不同，很少有日本人出国。如果越来越多的日本人出国，国家和公司将产生危机感，他们将因缺乏人力而不得不提高工资。
The salary standard in Japan is very low compared to the one in the US. A dishwasher's wage in Massachusetts is $15 per hour
与美国相比，日本的工资标准很低。马萨诸塞州的洗碗工工资是每小时15美元
Japanese people say that our salaries are low, but the infrastructure is good and the food is cheap and delicious, so we are satisfied with that and don't think about making more money.
日本人说，我们的工资很低，但基础设施很好，食物又便宜又美味。所以我们对此很满意，不想赚更多的钱了。
Helps that rent is so cheap in most of Japan. Groceries are quite cheap too if you’re buying domestic products.
庆幸的是，日本大部分地区的租金都很便宜。如果你买的是国产产品，日用百货也很便宜。
Japan salaries are the same for the last 30 years and life gets more expensive every year… when I first came to Japan the cost of things was half of what it is now
在过去的30年里，日本的工资是一样的，而生活成本一年比一年贵……当我第一次来到日本时，物价是现在的一半
I'm always wondering if these amounts are before or after taxes
我一直想知道这些钱是税前还是税后
