这是“越过山丘“系列的延续，为了标题更扼要一些，所以就改了一下。

内容仍旧摘自Quora。

这篇回答还挺有趣的，也算是为大家开开眼界吧。

我相信有很多同学还是很想去日本玩儿的，这个国家的风景还是很不错的，再加上有动漫和日剧的加持…

要加油呀，高考考完去玩玩看吧？

以及，得到了来自大家的意见，所以正文部分有所调整，把译文和原文放在了一起。

好啦，送上今日份的“歪果仁说”大餐。

I experienced so many wonderful and unique things in Japan, including out-of-this-world kindness and courteousness. Those notwithstanding, there are plenty of unique things that separate Japan from other countries. For example:

在日本，我经历了许多奇妙而独特的事情，包括这个世界上处处存在的善良和礼貌。尽管如此，还是有很多独特的东西把日本与其他国家区分开来。例如：

1.You can leave things and expect to find them in the same place even after hours (granted there are no tourists. If there are instances of theft, it is almost always a tourist). I’ve left stuff twice in hotels in Nagoya and both times, hotel staff ran after the bus I boarded to return them to me. I have a cousin who left her iPhone years ago in Tokyo and when she came back a couple of hours later, it was exactly where she left it.

1.你可以落下一些东西，就算是在几小时后你都还能在同一个地方找到它们（如果没有游客的话。如果有盗窃的情况，那几乎总是一个旅游者）。我已经在名古屋的酒店里落下过两次东西，两次都是酒店的工作人员追在我登上的公共汽车的后面，跑过来把它们还回来。我有个表妹，几年前在东京丢了她的iPhone，几个小时后她回来的时候，那个iPhone所在的位置正是她当初离开的地方。

2.You can stroll around a city or anywhere at night and never encounter a hawker, a swindler, a robber, a rapist, or anyone else of that sort. I felt very safe walking at dawn. And I didn’t even see a single cop on the streets. They say peace in Japan comes from Japan’s rigid implementation of rules and the Japanese’s love for discipline.

2.你可以在夜晚的任何地方漫步，也不会遇到小贩，骗子，强盗，强奸犯或其他任何人。黎明时分，我感到非常安全。我甚至没有在街上看到一个警察。他们说日本的和平来自日本严格的规则实施和日本人对纪律的热爱。

3.There is an old town in Gujo Hachiman where the roadside canal is so clean that people use it to wash their laundry and dishes.The people are extremely courteous, helpful, and will apologize profusely even if it’s your fault (e.g. you bumped into their bag and it fell, you accidentally stepped on someone’s foot). Some hotel staff tend to be more snobbish than ordinary locals.

There is a new trend in Japan now where men offer hourly services to people who want to have an emotional connection with someone (or to talk or to help them cry) without the emotional attachment. In Nagoya city, you will see these men, and women too (although some of them maybe escorts or prostitutes. These aren’t exactly illegal.) just smoking outside stores and streets in the Sakae area.

The Japanese make their own food from virtually anything. So expect to find a lot of weird dishes - lots of raw seafood and vegetables - ranging from curious to extremely disgusting. We were served tiny, raw octopus with mustard and matcha gelatin in one plate. I am not kidding.

3.在Gujo Hachiman上有一个古老的小镇，路旁的运河很干净，人们用它来洗衣服和洗碗。

人们非常有礼貌，乐于助人，即使是你的错，也会道歉很多次（比如你碰掉了别人的包，你不小心踩到了别人的脚）。一些酒店的工作人员往往比当地普通人更势利。

日本现在有一种新的趋势，那就是男性在没有情感依恋的情况下为那些想与某人（也许是倾诉，也许是想找个肩膀哭泣）的人提供小时服务。在名古屋市，你会看到这些男人和女人（虽然其中有些人可能是护送者或妓女，这些并不完全是非法的），他们就仅仅是在在Sakae地区的商店和街道外面抽烟。

日本人从几乎把所有东西用来制作成食物。所以也许能找到很多奇怪的菜肴 - 大量的生海鲜和蔬菜 - 从好奇到非常反胃。我们被人用一盘抹了芥末和抹茶冻的小生章鱼招待过。我没在开玩笑哦。

4.There is a wine shop in the old town in Gujo Hachiman that is managed by an old man. We were walking around and were simply looking at his sake collection, and he served us water. In a bottle. For no charge at all.

4. Gujo Hachiman的旧城里有一家老人经营的酒吧。我们四处走动，只是看着他的清酒馆，他用装在在一个瓶子里的水招待我们。是完全免费的。

5.Toilets and bathrooms in Japan are rather compact, even in hotels. There are two kinds of toilet bowls in Japan. The usual toilet bowls you find in hotels and restaurants have built-in bidet and you can choose how they operate through push buttons. The bowls are heated. Another type is the traditional Japanese bowl, which is simply just a hole on the ground. You squat to use it. In both kinds, you throw your used tissue into the bowl. I am not sure if this is the same elsewhere, but in countries I traveled to, including mine (Philippines), it’s the other way ’round (bin, not into the bowl).

5.日本的厕所和浴室相当紧凑，即使在酒店也是如此。日本有两种马桶。您在酒店和餐厅找到的通常的厕所都有马桶，您可以通过按钮选择它们的操作方式。马桶可以被加热。另一种类型是传统的日本厕所，只是地面上的一个洞。你蹲下来使用它。在这两种情况下，你把你用过的纸巾扔进厕所里。我不确定这是否与其他地方相同，但是在我去过的国家，包括我的国家（菲律宾），这是相反的方式（是桶状，而不是碗状）。

6.Japan’s Shinkansen (bullet train), if I’m not mistaken, is the fastest in the world, although it is definitely not the cheapest way to go around. From Kyoto to Tokyo, the latest model will take only around an hour.

6.如果我没有弄错的话，日本的新干线（子弹头列车）是世界上最快的，尽管这绝对不是最划算的方式。从京都到东京，最新款列车只需要用一个小时左右就可以抵达。

Even in very small motels/ inns, there are toiletries and towels. And Japanese toiletries are the best.

7.If you’re dining in a formal Japanese restaurant, they serve rice last, after everything else. Dessert is…almost nonexistent. The set meals (which are expensive, costing around 20,000 to 30,000 yen on the average) also don’t include the usual dishes that we see in Japanese restaurants in other countries (you know, tempura, gyoza, gyudon, tonkatsu). Sashimi is always a staple.

7.即使在非常小的汽车旅馆/旅馆，也有洗浴用品和毛巾。而日本的洗浴用品是最好的。如果你在一家正规的日本餐厅用餐，那么最后还是要点米饭。甜点是...几乎不存在的。套餐（价格昂贵，平均约2万到3万日元）也不包括我们在其他国家的日本餐厅（比如那些你知道的，天妇罗，饺子，牛排，炸猪排）中看到的常见菜肴。生鱼片始终是主食。

Just some of the things that come to mind, but there are really many, and most of them, if not all, are positive.

只是恰好想到的一些，但是真的有很多像这样的事儿，就算不是全都是正面的，但起码大部分都是。
