日本迷人的火车文化

我在日本坐火车时，手里拿着相机，想要捕捉日本迷人的火车文化

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.

当我2006年第一次访问日本时，这是一次令人愉快的文化冲击。我特别喜欢东京。这是一个充满活力和丰富文化的城市，古老与超现代并存。日本的吸引力是强大的，我最后又去了几次，手里拿着相机。

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.

日本和东京最吸引人的地方之一，尤其是其庞大的铁路系统和乘客。我住在加利福尼亚，那里有一种汽车文化，我们大多数人花很多时间在汽车上。对日本人来说，火车是主要的交通工具。他们几乎每天都在火车和火车站上下班或上学，还有跑腿。为了使那些忙碌的人们的生活更容易，在车站内或附近可以找到一些日用品，如杂货店、餐馆和其他许多零售商。它很方便，即使对游客来说。我在新大阪火车站买了最好吃的猪肉饺子，然后在开往东京的新干线(子弹头列车)里吃了。一想到那些饺子，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.

我盼望在日本的时候能坐火车。作为一名街头摄影师，它让我能够观察人们的日常生活，捕捉一些日本独有的东西，并通过创造性的构图来讲述一个有趣的故事。我希望通过分享这些照片，我能展示出日本迷人文化的一小部分。
