1、Less Yen for Foreign Travel In Aging, Risk-Averse Japan日本：出国旅游者锐减1The phrase hordes of Japanese tourists appears hundreds of times in a Google search.1随便用谷歌搜索引擎进行一次搜索，就会出现成百上千次成群结队的日本游客这个词汇。2Dyspeptic travel commentators, though, have increasingly fewer reasons to kick around the globe-trotting Japa
2、nese. They simply are not globe-trotting as they once did. A long slide in Japanese overseas travel is all but certain.2然而旅游评论员越来越没有理由挑剔到全球各地旅行的日本游客了。因为他们已经不像以前那样到世界各地旅游。日本人出国旅行的数量几乎肯定会经历一个漫长的下滑期。3The primary engine of decades of sustained growth in foreign travel has been the Japanese woman, age 20

In the past five years, though, she has lost her will to roam.3出国旅行最主要的带动者是日本年龄从20到29岁的女性。但是在过去5年中，这些女性失去了四处旅行的兴趣。4In Japanese travel agents argot, the annual departure ratio of young women in their 20s has fallen from more than 30 percent in the late 1990s to about 23 percent last year.

Part-time jobs tend to pay less and offer less generous vacation benefits.8此外，很多年轻人也没有经济能力出国旅行。一个主要原因是在过去15年中出现了一支非全日性工作大军。很多年轻人从事这种工作。非全日性工作工资较低，提供的休假福利也较少。9The rising cost of jet fuel is also squeezing overseas travel. In three years, fuel surcharges have risen more than six-fold on flights to Europe and the United States.9飞机不断上涨的油价也是导致出国旅行减少的原因之一。在3年中，飞往欧洲和美国的航班的燃油附加费增长到了原来的6倍。
