在日本生活有哪些优缺点？

评论翻译

Varun Senthil, Studied abroad in Japan. Made friends, lived life, etc.
It really depends on the type of person you are. It would be good if you gave more details about yourself. But here’s a list:
Advantages:
People
Some hold the image that Japanese people are cold, especially towards foreigners, but this isn’t the case. I’ve personally made more friends in a shorter amount of time in Japan than anywhere else.

这完全取决于你是哪种类型的人。如果你能更详细地介绍一下自己就好了。以下是我列的几个点
优点：
日本人
有些人认为日本人很冷漠，尤其是对外国人，但事实并非如此。在更短的时间内，我在日本交到的朋友比在其他地方的都要多。

If there’s someone that doesn’t like you, it’s likely you won’t know. In Japan, people tend not to be that vocal.
Most people are healthy. Most people are generally attractive. You might not care for superficial details of people, but if people around you are healthy and attractive, you’ll likely find yourself improving yourself too.

就算有人不喜欢你，你可能也不会知道。在日本，人们往往不会那么直言不讳。
日本大部分人都很健康，很有吸引力。或许你不会在意人们的一些外在的一些细节，但如果你身边的人都很健康很有吸引力的话，你可能会发现自己也正在提高。

Food
As long as you don’t have any dietary restrictions, Japan is paradise when it comes to food. Delicious, healthy, and inexpensive. There’s also a wide variety of local delicacies, so if you like to travel, even more food to discover.
Even convenient store food tastes good, and is relatively healthy.

食物
只要你没有任何饮食禁忌，在吃的方面，日本绝对就是天堂。这里的食物美味、健康、便宜。这里还有各种各样的地方美食，如果你喜欢旅行，还可以去发现更多美味的食物。
即使是便利店的食物也很好吃，而且也相对健康。

Infrastrucutre
Everything is laid out very conveniently. In the big cities, the public transport is always on time. All the important parts of the city are near the station, so it’s easy getting from place to place.

基础设施
日本的一切都很便利。在大城市，公共交通总是很准时。城市的重要部分都在车站附近，所以很容易从一个地方到另一个地方。

Lost and Found
One time I lost my luggage on a train. Led to a rather uncomfortable camping trip, but on the way back, I got my luggage back. If you lose your luggage, just check the Lost and Found places in the largest stations nearby.
I left my Samsung Tablet at a restaurant on night. When I went there the next day, I got it back. Just went up to the cashier, told them I lost a tablet, and they went and got it for me.
People generally don’t steal stuff. The one rare exception that I heard off was from my friend. He went to a festival and got pick-pocketed. Here’s the thing though: Only the money from his wallet was gone, his wallet itself was still in his pocket.

失物招领
有一次我在火车上丢了行李，结果让那次露营之旅变得很不愉快，但在回去的路上，我找回了自己的行李。如果你的行李丢了，就去附近最大的车站的失物招领处找找。
晚上，我把三星平板电脑落在一家餐厅那了。第二天，我再去那家店的时候，就把它拿了回来。我就走到收银台，告诉他们我丢了一块平板，然后他们就去把它找来还给我了。
日本人一般不会偷东西。我听到的唯一一次例外是我朋友。他去参加一个音乐节，结果被偷了。钱包里面的钱都被拿走了，但钱包还在他口袋里面。

Culture
For the most part, a foreigner can never fully be apart of the Japanese culture. You will always be a gaijin. However, even if you aren’t a part of the culture, the Japanese culture creates a good environment to live in. If you don’t mind being a gaijin, then perfect.

文化
在大多数情况下，外国人永远不能完全融入日本文化。外国人就是外国人。然而，即便你不是日本文化的一部分，但你依然生活在日本文化创造的良好生活环境之中。如果你不介意做外国人的话，那就太好了

Disadvantages:
Hard to get your hands on certain products. For example, I’m into weight lifting. When searching for Whey Protein Powder, I couldn’t find any decent brands at the local stores. If there’s a certain product that’s not common in Japan, you would likely have to order it overseas, which can be pricey.

缺点
有些产品很难买到。例如，我喜欢举重。在搜索乳清蛋白粉的时候，我在当地的商店里找不到任何像样的品牌。如果某种产品在日本不太常见，你或许就必须海外订购了，就是价格有点贵。

Japanese
There’s not a lot of people that can speak that good English. Even shop owners are likely to speak in Japanese to you. You can get by without knowing any Japanese, but communication with other people won’t go that smooth. Hell, it’s already not so smooth even if you do know Japanese, but not knowing any at all makes it hard to communicate that effectively.
If you’re a language learner, like me, then this is an advantage too. It’s not like Europe, where people likely speak English better than you speak their language. In Japan, you can get a lot of practice speaking Japanese.

日语
在日本能说一口流利英语的人并不多。即便是商店店主可能也只会用日语和你交流。不懂日语也没有关系，但就是在和别人交流的时候会有困难。即便你懂日语，要和日本人交流也不容易，但如果你一点都不懂，就很难有效地沟通了。
如果你和我一样是一个语言学习者，那么这反而是一个优势。不像欧洲，那里的人英语说的比你都要好。在日本，你有很多的机会可以练习日语。

Rent can be expensive in the cities. Also, certain landlords don’t trust foreigners, so it can be hard to find a place.

城市里的房租很贵。而且，有些房东不相信外国人，所以很难找到房子。

You’re a Gaijin
You will never fully belong. Many people will feel distant from you straight off the bat. In a large group, you might feel left out (even if none of them are actively trying to make you feel left out). You will get weird reactions from people at times. Some people might avoid you, because they think they have to use English if they want to communicate with you, and that makes them nervous.
But perhaps you’ve never really felt you belonged anywhere. Perhaps you’ve always, for the most part, felt like an outsider. If so, being a gaijin is perfect for you.

你是一个外国人
你永远不属于日本。很多人一开始就会觉得和你很疏远。在一个大群体中，你可能会感到被冷落（即便他们中没有人试图冷落你）。有时人们对你的反应会很奇怪。有些人或许会回避你，因为他们认为如果想要和你交流的话，就必须要说英语，这让他们感到很紧张。
但也许你从未真正觉得自己属于任何地方。也许在大多数情况下，你总是觉得自己像个局外人。如果是这样的话，在日本做一个外国人也是不错的

Many Japanese feel restricted, like caged birds. As a gaijin, you might fly alone, but you feel free. You can enjoy Japan, without being held to the standards that many Japanese people (especially the younger generation) feel restricted by.

许多日本人感觉自己受到了很多的限制，就像是笼中鸟一样。作为外国人，你或许只能独自飞翔，但你可以感受到自由。你可以享受日本的一切，不用像许多日本人（尤其是年轻一代）那样被很多的标准所束缚。

LaShaun Hardy
But perhaps you’ve never really felt you belonged anywhere. Perhaps you’ve always, for the most part, felt like an outsider. If so, being a gaijin is perfect for you.
This is exactly what I figured. Thank you. I've heard so many complaints about always being an outsider in Japan, but I feel like Japan would work for me because I'm already an outsider in my country of origin. I dunno if I can explain this right, but I feel like going in knowing you're an outsider is much better than the illusion of not being one.

“但也许你从未真正觉得自己属于任何地方。也许在大多数情况下，你总是觉得自己像个局外人。如果是这样的话，在日本做一个外国人也是不错的”
这正是我所想的。谢谢你！我听到很多人抱怨说在日本就像是一个局外人一样。但我觉得日本会很适合我，因为在我自己国家我就是一个局外人了，我不知道能否解释明白，但我认为在进入一个国家的时候就知道自己是一个局外人要比假装自己不是局外人要好。
