回複 '雅歌1' 的評論 : GDP in US dollar can be misleading. If you look at the exchange rate between US dollar and Japanese yen, you would understand Japan GDP has been under estimated because of the devalued yen, from 1US$ to 110 yen to now 1US$ to 140 yen.
那咱就有理講理。
1. 作者用充分的事實論證了日本的失落，你卻硬扯到中國上去，用貶低中國來襯托日本依舊“厲害”，請問和作者的文章有關係嗎？
2. 你說我愛國，我愛國有錯嗎（多說一句，我不愛黨）？100年前，舊中國那麽落後，還有那麽多熱血中國人愛她，為了她而努力奮鬥。而你呢？你卻愛日本，恨中國。中國把你養大，講中國話，用中國字，你卻天天罵他。你愛幹爹也就算了，何必這麽狠生母呢？
3. 你口中的畢業於名校的、讀了碩士博士的日本同僚，問他們問題，卻說“這個不懂、那個不行，我什麽也不知道、我根本就沒看明白”，請問是謙虛還是虛偽？還是別人根本不願意理你？不願意告訴你答案？這也值得你讚揚？我覺得如果自己知道還不告訴你，那不是他有問題，就是你有問題。
4. 你既然那麽愛日本，請你回答這幾個問題：
a. 日本排核汙水。既然日本高官說能喝，為啥不喝？倒到海裏不浪費嗎？
b. 日本前首相被刺殺，真相何在？國家的恥辱，你抨擊了嗎？
c. 日本每年大量捕殺鯨魚，你呐喊了嗎？
d. 日本的AV名滿全世界，是體現了日本人的高素質嗎？
e. 日本連獨立的主權都沒有，本土被外國駐軍，美軍犯了法日本還不能加以起訴，每年都有強奸案，請問尊嚴何在？
f. 安倍和川普合影，紅地毯隻能靠邊，為了巴結川普，安倍一路小跑還摔跤，請問尊嚴何在？
g. 日本發動的侵略戰爭，給東南亞的國家帶來了深重災難，罪行罄竹難書，至今認罪了嗎？中國不要求賠款，隻要求日本有個正確的態度，過分嗎？
h. 日本為了惡心中國，故意和中國搶印度和越南的高鐵項目，十年了一點進展都沒有。而中國和老撾的鐵路建成了，和印尼的高鐵也通車了，請問日本推崇的“質量和信譽”何在？
What Is the Lost Decade?
The Lost Decade is commonly used to describe the decade of the 1990s in Japan, a period of economic stagnation which became one of the longest-running economic crises in recorded history. Later decades are also included in some definitions, with the period from 1991-2011 (or even 1991-2021) sometimes also referred to as Japan's Lost Decades

日本失落的２０年是怎麽定義的呢，其實穀歌一下就可以得到：
The Lost Decade originally referred to an extended period of slow to negative economic growth, lasting almost ten years, in Japan's economy during the 1990s. Stagnant growth in subsequent years has led the period since 1991 to sometimes be referred to as Japan's Lost Decades (plural).
