Off-campus pursuits 校外生活
A survey from China Youth and Children Research Center this year found that many Japanese and Korean students lack an optimistic outlook about their future. About 59 percent of young Japanese and 58 percent of young Koreans say they "only want to be happy at the moment, and do not want to think about the future".
今年,中國青少年研究中心的一項調查顯示很多日韓的學生對未來缺乏樂觀態度。約59%的日本青年及58%的韓國青年表示他們“只愿及時行樂,不想去考慮未來。”
Sun Yunxiao, the CYCRC deputy director, attributes this perspective to their uncertainty about their society's future. "Also, their elders have created good living conditions, so they prefer to enjoy a comfortable life rather than worry about the hard work that lies ahead," Sun said.
中國青少年研究中心副主任孫云曉把這種悲觀情緒歸咎于他們自身對社會未來的不確定。她說:“還有就是,他們的父母已經為他們提供了很好的生存條件,所以他們寧愿去享受舒適的生活而不是去考慮擺在面前繁重的工作。”
And this worries the older generation. "Lots of parents in these two countries are sending their children to study overseas so they will learn to live more independently," said Sun.
這一現象也使得老一代的人尤為苦惱。孫曉云表示:“兩國的很多家長都希望把子女送到其他國家學習,以便他們學會如何獨立生活。”
