首先的首先，絕對(duì)不要試圖把違禁藥品帶入日本。

Punishment can mean deportation or jail time, and they’re not kidding. Just don’t do it.

2. Don’t wear shoes in private homes and some offices.
在別人家中不要穿鞋，在一些辦公室也不能。

If you walk into a building and see a raised area and a lot of shoes near the entryway, that’s a signal for you to take your shoes off before you step up and into the building.
當(dāng)你走進(jìn)一棟建筑后，如果看到某處的地面被抬高了，而且入口處擺滿了鞋子，這就意味著你需要拖鞋才能進(jìn)入這個(gè)區(qū)域。

3. Don’t wear slippers in rooms with tatami floors.
在鋪了榻榻米的地板上不要穿拖鞋。

The bottoms of the slippers are hard on the straw.

4. Don’t stroll and eat in public.
不要在公共場(chǎng)合邊走邊吃。

耳機(jī)里漏出大音量音樂(lè)、講電話、和朋友大聲談話，都被認(rèn)為是無(wú)禮的行為。

6. When bathing at an onsen, public bath house or ryokan, don’t enter the communal tub without washing yourself with soap and water first.
在溫泉、公共浴室和旅館澡堂泡澡的時(shí)候，在進(jìn)入公共浴缸之前一定要先用水和肥皂把自己洗干凈。

You’re sharing that tub with other people.

用現(xiàn)金付賬的時(shí)候，收銀員會(huì)用一個(gè)小托盤(pán)來(lái)裝你的現(xiàn)金，找零錢(qián)的時(shí)候也會(huì)用同樣的方法。

Don’t hand the cashier your money directly.
千萬(wàn)不要直接把現(xiàn)金遞給收銀員。

8. Above all, just don’t be a jerk.
最重要的是，絕對(duì)不要當(dāng)個(gè)混蛋。

A respectful attitude and willingness to learn will take you a long way.
尊重別人，虛心學(xué)習(xí)，這會(huì)讓你走得長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)。
