在這個Blog裡看到這篇文章:
60 Habits You Formed In Japan That Will Never Work In Your Country
原文是這裡。大概是指在中國大陸是行不通吧…
在日本生活了數年的我,發覺原來有不少習慣是在日本養成的。
1. Forgot how to lock the door. Even though remembered afterwards, I don’t care. In Chinese we say “People do not take any articles left by the wayside and that doors are not bolted at night”, and that is Japan.
我試過有一次把鑰匙插在門就回房睡覺了,在深夜時忽然聽到我的房門被打開,然後聽到鑰匙掉在地上的聲音，相信是好心人打開我房門,然後拋鑰匙進我家門口…感謝啊
2. Think all policeman are kind and friendly. They joke with you and even would lend you money to take taxi.
我參加日本災後心理救援隊的時候,因為小小意外要報警。那裡的警察也蠻nice的,有一個還會說流利國語啊。
香港?慈母啊…
3. Have no idea what a counterfeit money is because there is no such thing in Japan.
對,日本沒有什麼假貨.
4. Never lock my bicycle when stopping by somewhere for errands. Things never get stolen even I leave my belongings on the bicycle.
超粗心大意的我沒有東西被偷…如果在袓國的話就…
5. Drink the tap water whenever feel thirsty.
這個我不能接受,我一定要煮沸才喝。
在日本工作時同事和我講,在冬天她敢飲自來水,但在夏天也是要煮沸才喝的
6. Never count the change I got from the cashier. Anyway, there is never shortchange.
對,回香港之後也不會管找零。
7. Bow to everyone even strangers. In Japan, it’s common to be bowed.
這個全中!!所以很多人對我說:你果然是日本人啊。
8. Never double check the quality of the purchased product on the spot, even laptop. There is no fake in Japan.
這個倒是沒錯。
9. Never look around while crossing the road.
在日本,過馬路時綠燈亮著也不代表車子不可以駛過啊。
10. Barefoot once got home.
對,馬上脫鞋。
11. Never ask who it is before opening the door.
這個在袓國太危險了吧。在香港也還可以。
12. Don’t know how to throw garbage. Combustible or Incombustible? Even have to check the calendar to know what kind of garbage is allowed to throw today.
我會把罐和膠樽掉在外面的自動販賣機旁的垃圾桶。而在家不會製造なまゴミ,所以無此問題。
很多人也把膠袋當作是可撚垃圾的,這樣就沒有問題了。
(當然也會看星期幾可以掉垃圾啦)
13. Became a fan of vegetable.
全中!!!!!在日本我最愛這種菜了,加沙律醬來吃也好,用來炒也好,超方便。
14. Started to think that piracy is illegal.
確是這樣…我在日本有付錢買防毒軟件的說..
15. Lost curiosity towards restaurants. All restaurants look the same in Japan. Similar menu, similar price.
話倒不是這樣說啊。
16. Put umbrellas on the umbrella stand outside the house. Never mind. Nobody would steal it.
這裡不是袓國…
17. Don’t know how to choose good quality vegetable. Everything looks good in the super market.
嗯…確實如此,在香港也不會怎樣選
18. Can’t bargain anymore. Every price in Japan is fixed.
就算去袓國我也不怎講價…
19. Don’t know how to open doors except my home because all doors are automated.
未至於吧…
20. “Sumimasen” became a common saying.
全中! 這個習慣在香港也改不了。
21. Forgot how to quarrel. Japan is too peaceful.
這個真的倒沒錯,我也不會怎吵架了
22. No need to bring toilet paper while go out. Every public toilet has toilet paper.
對,在外從不用帶廁紙
23. Got used to carrying two wallets. One for bill, one for coins.
對,我在日本確是有兩個錢包!
24. Never worry there is no elevator while going out with baby-car.
日本也有蠻多地方沒有電梯的說…
25. Have blind faith in weather forecast. If it says it won’t rain at 2pm, I will go out with no umbrella at 3pm.
日本的天氣預告確是有點神
26. Never worry about the short amount of the purchased food.
這個..我倒不覺得
27. Tend to believe that sea food is cheaper than meat.
什麼? 不是海產比較便宜的嗎??
28. Strongly feel that littering and spitting everywhere is an evil behavior.
果然.強國人的思維…
29. Never worry to be discriminated by accent.
作為一個語文老師,我從來不擔心會被人歧視啊.反正日本人什麼也說日本語が上手ですね
30. Never worry to get thought strangely by others for just-playing-no-buying in a toy shop.
在香港也不會理啊…
31. Think that a clean city is a basic human need.
祖國嘛…
32. Think that every corner or public space should have vending machines.
這個幸好香港也差不多!
33. Abandoned the belief of “cheap-things-are-all-bad”. Because 100 yen shop
things are really cheap but excellent!
騙肖耶! 100 YEN店的東西最不好用.(不過和祖國比…算了)
34. Believe all shops’ sales are real.
也是祖國人才能懂..
35. Be surprised at the news about accidents.
原文是對天災人禍的新聞覺得大驚小怪,比起祖國確是如此…
36. Think that making mistakes is strange.
對著經常「唔好意思」的地下鐵,已經慣了…
37. Think that all food is safe and clean.
唉…
38. Got used to waiting for public transportation according to the schedule.
在日本,如果你不這樣做會吃虧的
39. Feel normal to meet an old man in good spirit.
這個倒是,我在日本遇見的老人家多是很友善。在香港的..算吧。
40. Believe advertisement is true.
不!
41. Even though nobody sees it, still nod while talking on phone.
Usually Japanese nod and say “Hai, Hai…” on the phone.
全中!不懂日文的同事就會覺得我很日本,但這確是改不了…
42. Get off the train automatically to make way for the people behind when the train is too crowded.
在香港嘛…
43. Press the floor button and hold the open button naturally for other passengers in an elevator.
我明白在祖國這是非常識的原因…
44. Never sound the horn while driving; never ring the bell while riding a bicycle.
對,在日本開車響號是禁忌
45. Never worry even though the bag zip is open. Even leave it at the seat while away to order starbucks coffee.
在日本我也不敢啊…
46. Speak Japanglish while speaking English.
因為工作關係,這個絕對不可以發生!!
47. Stand by left hand side at the escalator, letting people pass by right hand side. (Osaka is opposite side)
在香港是左快右慢的…
48. Keep the trash in our bags and throw it at home.
這個在香港和日本也不會,有垃圾就去找便利店好了
49. Always carrying handkerchief and portable ashtray.
手帕用來抺鼻涕等我絕對不能接受啊. 日本人隨身帶煙灰缸倒是真的
50. Wait until the light turns green even though there is no cars on the road.
祖國嘛…懂的
51. Line up for everything.
祖國嘛…懂的
52. Feel normal to be bowed by public servants.
嗯..面對香港的慈母嘛..
53. Put mobile phone and wallet at the back pocket, leaving half of it shown to people eyes.
絕對不會!
54. Sit at the park randomly.
在日本,坐的不只是公園,而是海邊
55. Polish shoes once every half year.
從沒做過
56. Never check if there is toilet paper in the toilet because most of them are electronic toilet.
這個確是如此
57. Never smoke on the street. Find a smoking area to smoke.
不是煙民所以沒感覺
58. No need to wash the vegetable properly. Sometimes even cook it without washing.
我也只是隨便洗洗.回到香港後我才知道老媽每次也洗三次菜啊
59. No hurries even though the earthquake is happening.
確是,日本人的慢~是~可~以~很~慢的
60. Taking train, going to work, paying bill, everything is punctual.
一向我也準時的,所以對身旁不準時上班的同事實在不能理解…
看見這六十點,其實也有點感概。因為當中有不少點是因為中國實在太多假貨,所以筆者在日本不用擔心而感到驚訝。
看著香港愈來愈大陸,我最怕的是,有一日我們對於日本有真貨感到驚訝。
