日本迷人的火車文化

我在日本坐火車時(shí)，手里拿著相機(jī)，想要捕捉日本迷人的火車文化

It was a pleasant culture shock when I first visited Japan in 2006. I especially loved Tokyo. It's a city bustling with energy and rich in culture, a juxtaposition of old and ultra-modern. The lure of Japan was powerful and I ended up making several more trips there with my camera in hand.

當(dāng)我2006年第一次訪問日本時(shí)，這是一次令人愉快的文化沖擊。我特別喜歡東京。這是一個(gè)充滿活力和豐富文化的城市，古老與超現(xiàn)代并存。日本的吸引力是強(qiáng)大的，我最后又去了幾次，手里拿著相機(jī)。

One of the many fascinating things about Japan and Tokyo, in particular, is its vast railway system and the people who use it. I live in California where we have an automobile culture and most of us spend many hours in cars getting around. For the Japanese, trains are the major means of transportation. They’re in the trains and train stations almost daily to commute to work or school, and run errands. To make lives easier for those busy bodies, everyday necessities, such as grocery stores, restaurants, and other numerous retailers are found inside or near the stations. It’s quite convenient, even for tourists. I bought the tastiest pork dumplings inside the Shin-Osaka Train Station and ate them for lunch inside the Tokyo-bound Shinkansen (bullet train). My mouth is watering just thinking about those dumplings.

日本和東京最吸引人的地方之一，尤其是其龐大的鐵路系統(tǒng)和乘客。我住在加利福尼亞，那里有一種汽車文化，我們大多數(shù)人花很多時(shí)間在汽車上。對(duì)日本人來說，火車是主要的交通工具。他們幾乎每天都在火車和火車站上下班或上學(xué)，還有跑腿。為了使那些忙碌的人們的生活更容易，在車站內(nèi)或附近可以找到一些日用品，如雜貨店、餐館和其他許多零售商。它很方便，即使對(duì)游客來說。我在新大阪火車站買了最好吃的豬肉餃子，然后在開往東京的新干線(子彈頭列車)里吃了。一想到那些餃子，我就流口水了。

I look forward to riding the trains while in Japan. As a Street Photographer, it allows me to observe people in their daily lives and capture something that’s uniquely Japanese as well as get creative composing each frame to tell an interesting story. I hope by sharing these photographs, I'm able to show a little slice of the intriguing culture of Japan.

我盼望在日本的時(shí)候能坐火車。作為一名街頭攝影師，它讓我能夠觀察人們的日常生活，捕捉一些日本獨(dú)有的東西，并通過創(chuàng)造性的構(gòu)圖來講述一個(gè)有趣的故事。我希望通過分享這些照片，我能展示出日本迷人文化的一小部分。
