Off-campus pursuits 校外生活

A survey from China Youth and Children Research Center this year found that many Japanese and Korean students lack an optimistic outlook about their future. About 59 percent of young Japanese and 58 percent of young Koreans say they "only want to be happy at the moment, and do not want to think about the future".
今年，中国青少年研究中心的一项调查显示很多日韩的学生对未来缺乏乐观态度。约59%的日本青年及58%的韩国青年表示他们“只愿及时行乐，不想去考虑未来。”

Sun Yunxiao, the CYCRC deputy director, attributes this perspective to their uncertainty about their society's future. "Also, their elders have created good living conditions, so they prefer to enjoy a comfortable life rather than worry about the hard work that lies ahead," Sun said.
中国青少年研究中心副主任孙云晓把这种悲观情绪归咎于他们自身对社会未来的不确定。她说：“还有就是，他们的父母已经为他们提供了很好的生存条件，所以他们宁愿去享受舒适的生活而不是去考虑摆在面前繁重的工作。”

And this worries the older generation. "Lots of parents in these two countries are sending their children to study overseas so they will learn to live more independently," said Sun.
这一现象也使得老一代的人尤为苦恼。孙晓云表示：“两国的很多家长都希望把子女送到其他国家学习，以便他们学会如何独立生活。”
