Japan is a hush-hush society, where everyone is supposed to guess what is going on, and the media are careful not to provoke social division. Hard questions are not to be asked, and straightforward answers are considered too rude and crude to be given.
最令人不安的是没有人公开讨论上述问题。日本是习惯遮遮掩掩的社会，每个成员都必须猜测到底发生了什么，媒体也小心翼翼地避免引发社会成员的对立。困难的问题根本不允许提及，而直截了当的回答则被认为太过鲁莽和粗俗。日本人欢迎外国人做出评论，但对外国人的建议一般都会一笑了之。
