Quora精選：中國和日本，哪邊更適合居住

Economically, would you rather live in China or Japan?

從經濟上講，你更願意住在中國還是日本？

來自@Ace Miller的回答：

Talking purely economical the answer is simple, China is way better.

單從經濟層面講，我的回答很簡單，中國要好太多了。

China is cheaper, and China`s economy is growing faster.

中國的生活成本更低，而且中國的經濟正發展得越來越快。

Japan has 200% debt to GDP. For the rich or the poor, China is better economically.

日本的債務是GDP的200%。不管是對富人還是窮人來說，中國在經濟層面都更好。

This is a nuanced question that deserves a nuanced answer.

這是一個微妙的問題，所以得用微妙的方式來回答。

If I were unskilled, low skilled, or in a conventional career, Japan is obviously the better place (assuming also I was Japanese!).

如果我是個什麼都不會、或者技能有限的人，亦或是從事着一份傳統職業，那日本顯然是更好的選擇。（如果我本人是個日本人，那就更是如此了！）

If I was a programmer/tech worked, entrepreneur, or high rolling exec/manager type who wanted to take lots of risks, well, china is obviously the better choice.

而如果我是個編程人員、技術型人員、創業者，或者是個慢不下來、喜歡冒險的C某O、管理人員的話，那麼，中國顯然是個更好的選擇。

來自@Tony Fordyce的回答：

I guess the question assumes that you have the same income in each, not one in proportion to the average for that country?

我猜，這個問題的預設前提是：你在兩邊的收入是相等的，而不是根據那個國家的平均水平來變？

In that case, you can live a better life in China because the cost of living is cheaper.

如果是這樣的話，你在中國的日子會更舒服，因爲那裏的生活成本更低。

This is talking economically, of course, not taking other factors into account.

當然，這只是從經濟層面來講，並沒有把其他的因素納入考慮範圍。

來自@Greg Spolar的回答：

Outside of first tier cities, the cost of living is far cheaper in China.

在中國，如果是在一線城市以外的地方，那生活成本會低很多。

You can live quite comfortably on a modest salary.

即使你的薪水只是中檔水平，也能過得相當舒服。

If you're lucky enough to collect your western salary, life can be somewhat luxurious.

而如果你很幸運地拿着發達國家水平的薪水的話，你的生活甚至能過得很奢侈。

Finding a nice Chinese girlfriend or wife is just icing on the cake.

如果能找到一箇中國女朋友或者中國太太，那就更完美了。

Consider the air pollution level first!

你先考慮考慮空氣污染的問題吧！

The PM2.5 index, for examples.

比如去看看PM2.5的指數。
