1 | Japan: A new car? No thanks. | Japana : tsy hividy fiara vaovao aho |
2 | Word on the street is that the Japanese economy isn't doing too well, with sluggish car sales apparently causing a major drag. | Ny siosion-dresaka an-dalambe no milaza fa mitotongana ny toe-karena Japoney, ary ny fihisatry ny varotra fiarakodia no antony lehibe miteraka izany. |
3 | Who is to blame? | Iza no omentsiny ? |
4 | Some say the kids, who have apparently lost their urge to buy material things. | Ny ankizy, hoy ny sasany, izay tsy mazoto hividy zavatra azo tsapaintanana. |
5 | Bloggers writing about the reports of shrinking car sales this week, in any case, didn't seem terribly surprised by the news. | Nanoratra ny momba ny fihenan'ny fividianana fiara ity ny mpamaham-bolongana tamin'ity herinandro ity, ary toa tsy dia gaga loatra amini'ty vaovao ity. |
6 | One blogger explained: | Manazava ny iray : |
7 | Excluding light vehicles, sales of new cars in Japan reportedly decreased for the fourth year in a row. | Ankoatra ny fiara maivana, dia toy ny nivenjivenjy tsy hita hoe nahoana izany ny fivarotana fiara tao anatin'ny efa-taona. |
8 | The cause of this appears to be influenced by Japan's decrease in population (aging [population]), the sudden price rise in gasoline, and young people's loss of interest in cars. | Toa ny fihenan'ny isan'ny mponina eto Japana, ny fiakaran'ny vidintsolika tampoka ary ny tsy firaikan'ny tanora amin'ny fiara intsony no anton'izany. |
9 | Certainly as [Japan becomes] an aging society, the number of people who actually drive cars decreases, and also it may be that today's young people do not find cars such attractive things anymore. | Mihaantitra ny mponina eto Japana, mihena ny isan'ny olona manamory fiarakodia, ary mety ho tsy manintona ny tanora ankehitriny intsony ny fiara. |
10 | In the case of freeters and temporary employees, buying and maintaining a car must also be financially very difficult…. | Ho an'ny tanora mpiahy tena (freeder vakio ato ny mombamomba io) sy ny mpiasa antselika moa dia tsy maintsy hiteraka fahasahiranana ara-bola ho azy ny fikojakojana fiara …. |
11 | For those people who live in the rural areas, cars are essential for daily life. | Ilaina amin'ny fiainana andavanandro ny fiara ho an'ny olona monina eny ambanivohitra. |
12 | In all honesty though, living in the city, I would not go to the extent to say that I would be “definitely in trouble without one”. | Fa amin-kitsim-po tanteraka kosa, izay miaina an-tanandehibe, dia tsy handeha any amin'ny manodidina aho hiteny hoe “ ho sahirana aho raha tsy manana iray”. |
13 | In the case of our household, we have small children, so certainly [a car] is convenient, but… | Ho an'ny fianakavianay indray moa, mbola kely ny ankizy, mety aminay mihitsy ny manana fiara saingy … |
14 | To take the example of our home, for transportation, you can get to the nearest station by foot in around 10 minutes, and it's only about 3 minutes to the bus stop. | Raha raisina ohatra amin'ny tranonay, ny fitaterana aloha, mandeha folo minitra mandeha an-tongotra dia tonga amin'ny gara akaiky indrindra, ary telo minitra monja dia tonga eo amin'ny fiantsonan'ny fiara fitaretana. |
15 | If you think in terms of everyday life as well, there is a large supermarket in front of the station and a small one just a 30 minute walk from our home. | Raha amin'ny fiainana ankapobeny indray no jerena, misy tsenambarotra goavana iray mifanatrika amin'ny gara, ary misy tsenambarotra kelikely kokoa avy eo an-trano raha mandeha an-tongotra atsasakadiny. |
16 | There are two convenience stores around 3 minutes away, and there are no lack of hospitals within walking distance. | Misy tranombarotra roa ahitana izay tadiavina haingana ihany koa miala telo minitra avy ao an-trano ihany, ary tsy vitsy ny hopitaly vita dia antongotra manodidina. |
17 | I only drive on my days off, when going shopping for my family, or for travel or leisure. | Rehefa tsy miasa ihany aho no manamory fiarakodia, mitondra ny fianakaviana hiantsena, na rehefa hitsangatsangana na hiala voly. |
18 | My wife also has a license, but to park in the parking lot of our home, special skill is needed, so she doesn't drive. | Manana fahazoan-dalana hitondra fiara ny vadiko, fa miIa fahaizana manokana ilay ao amin'ny fitobian'ny fiara ao, dia tsy manamory izy. |
19 | Our yearly mileage is on the order of four to five thousand kilometers, so considering maintenance costs, I think perhaps it's cheaper to use a taxi or rent-a-car when a car is needed. | 4000 na 5000 maily (1,609km ny maily iray) eo ho eo ny hlavirandalana vitan'ny fiara entinay mandritra ny taona iray, ka raha jerena ny fandaniana lany amin'ny fikojakojana azy dia hita fa mora kokoa ny mandray fiarakaretsaka na manofa rehefa ilaina izany. |
20 | Because if you think about it, having a car in the city is, in a certain sense, a “luxury”. | Satria rehefa eritreretinao ilay izy dia tahaka ny “haitraitra” ihany ny fananana fiara eto an-tanàna. |
21 | Blogger sado-mujina, meanwhile, likes their old car fine: | Sado-mujina, kosa, mbola tia ny fiarany taloha ihany: |
22 | The number of cars being sold has decreased, I think, not only because owning a car is completely unnecessary in urban areas, but also because, as of at least ten years ago, the performance of cars has improved, and therefore even an old car runs more than well enough. | Nihena ny isan'ny fiara lafo, tsy noho ny fiara ho tsy maintsy ampiasaina an-tanan-dehibe ihany, fa na dia mitombo noho ny tamin'ny folo taona lasa aza ny zavabitan'ny fiara ankehitriny, dia mbola misosa tsara be noho ny tadiavina aminy ny fiara tonta. |
23 | The 12-year-old Cresta I bought three years ago for 160,000 yen [about 1450 USD] might look from the outside like an old piece of junk, there are no problems with the engine or body, and it will still run for some time. | Ny fiara Cresta 12 taona novidiako 160,000 yen [tokony ho 1400 USD] telo taona lasa izay dia toa korotamby raha jerena ivelany, tsy manana olana anefa ny fiara sy ny maoterany, ary mbola manana andromaro isosana tsara koa. |
24 | A new car might be attractive to have, but paying 300,000 yen [2800 USD] to buy and own a car for five years, or paying 2,000,000 yen [18,000 USD] to buy and own a car for 10 years… even [including] only installation fees, I am greatly swayed [by this]. | Mety hanintona ny manana fiara vaovao, fa ny mividy 300,000 yen [2700 USD] hananana azy 5 taona, na mandoa 2,000,000 yen [18,000 USD] hananana azy 10 taona… ,na dia efa nampidirina anatiny aza ny saram-pametrahana azy dia ampy hananako hevitra mafonja. |
25 | More so than a new car, there is a lot of fun in searching on Yahoo! | Mahafinaritra ihany koa ny mikaroka ao amin'ny Yahoo! |
26 | Auction for “the cheapest and longest-lasting secondhand car out of those that I am interested in”. | Tolobarotra “fiara efa ela nampiasana sy mora indrindra ankoatra ireo tena mahaliana ahy”. |
27 | For this reason, I really have no interest in new cars that are on sale nowadays. | Noho izay antony izay dia tsy misy antony hahaliana ahy amin'ny fiara vaovao amidy ankehitriny. |
28 | However, if a new hybrid intermediate class rear-wheel drive car (for example, Mark X, Skyline, etc.) or a revolutionary car loaded with a diesel engine were to come out … that would be a different story. | Nefa tantara hafa kosa no mitranga raha misy fiara zafindraony (hybride) antonontonony entin'ny kodiarana aoriana (ohatra, Mark X, Skyline, sns. ) na fiara mivoatra be entin'ny maotera diesel mivoaka. |

31 | Once a car enthusiast, blogger ego-brewer explains that they have lost their interest in cars: | Mpankafy fiara tsy liana intsony i ego-brewer: |
32 | I myself, from as far back as I can remember, have had a fondness for big cars. | Izaho ohatra araka ny fahatsiarovana lavitra indrindra takatro dia tena nitia manokana ny fiara lehibe. |
33 | When I was younger, I would sit in the passenger seat and untiringly list all the different types of cars that passed by. | Fony tanora dia tsy leo mitanisa ny karazam-piara nandalo manoloana ny tena. |
34 | When I got older, I read car magazines, and I was thoroughly knowledgeable not only about information on the cars themselves, but also about the market price of used cars. | Rehef anihalehibe indray dia mamaky ny gazety boky misahana ny fiara, ary dia fantadaza tamin'ny fahalalana ny fiara sy ny vidin'ny fiara efa nampiasaina. |
35 | Naturally, I also came to be particular about my own car. | Mazava loatra fa niavaka aho tamin'ny fiarako. |
36 | However, I recently suddenly lost my interest in cars. | Na izany aza, vao haingana izay, dia tsy liana fiara tampoka intsony aho. |
37 | I haven't even bought a single magazine about cars in three years. | Tsy nividy na dia gazety boky iray momba ny fiara akory aza aho telo taona lasa izay. |
38 | There really aren't any cars I want. | Tsy ireo mihitsy ny fiara tadiaviko. |
39 | (I am not just pretending to be young.) | (tsy milaza ny tenako ho tanora aho.) |
40 | As a result of car makers putting a lot of effort into progress in engineering developments and responding as much as possible to the needs of customers, I have the feeling that all cars are pretty much the same now. | Noho ny ezaky ny mpanao fiara hampandroso ny asa sy hamaliana ny hetahetan'ny mpanjifa araka izay azo atao, dia tsapako fa toa mitovy avokoa ny fiara ankehitriny. |
41 | Of course, there is no dissatisfaction with performance, but for exactly this reason, the one I currently own is enough, so I have no desire to buy a replacement. | Tsy hoe tsy mahafapo ny vita, fa noho izay antony izay indrindra dia ampy ahy ny efa ananako ankehitriny ka tsyhitako izay hividianana hafa indray hanoloana azy. |
42 | Because of a stress on amenities and security features, the weight has gone up, and there are nothing but large, heavy cars. | Niakatra ny lanja noho ny tebiteby amin'ny fikrakarana sy ny fiarovana hany ka indreo tsy mahita afa-tsy fiara mavesatra sy midadasika ianao. |
43 | (I personally really like small, lightweight cars.) | (ilay fiara kely maivamaivana ireny no tiako izao) |
44 | Finally, blogger iza-koza takes a whole different angle and argues that the decrease in car sales is a very good thing: | Farany, fomba fijery hafa kosa no entin' iza-koza mandresy lahatra fa zavatra tsara ny fihenan'ny isan'ny fiara lafo: |
45 | Cars, so widespread in Japan Why do we need more? | Be loatra ny fiara eto Japana Inona indray ny mbola ilana hafa? |
46 | Young people's loss of interest in cars is actually a very natural thing | Zavatra mandeha ho azy noho izany ny tsy fankafizan'ny tanora fiara intsony |
47 | We have to stop stopping [people from] losing interest in cars | Aleo atsahatra hatreo ny fanakanana ny olona hankafy fiara |
48 | The greatest solution strategy to environmental problems, it is thought, is decrease in population. | Ny vahaolana nahomby indrindra amin'ny olan'ny tontolo iainana noho izany dia ny fihenan'ny isan'ny mponina. |
49 | The truth is that Japan's dwindling birthrate and aging population are natural things. | Raha ny marina izany dia voajanahary ny salam-pahaterahana mihena sy ny olona mihaantitra. |
50 | You should not be bothered by the decrease in the absolute number. | Tsy tokony hiahiahy amin'ny fihenana ho vitsy indrindra ianao. |
51 | This will be what saves all of us. | Fa izany ary no hamonjy antsika rehetra. |
