关于东京的纪录片。这个城市真是光怪陆离。有光鲜亮丽的一面,也有阴暗凄惨的一面。

A documentary about Tokyo. This city is really fantastic. It has a bright and shiny side, but also a dark and tragic side.
日本本来两极分化就厉害,而东京又集中体现了这一点。在银座,上班族都是整齐地往前奔走,非常有规律。可是到原宿、涉谷,完全就是另外一片天地。都是打扮前卫的年轻人。

Japan's polarization has always been really remarkable. And Tokyo really concentrates and embodies it. In Ginza, the office workers all rush forward. They're extremely orderly. But when you get to Harajuku and Shibuya, it's completely different. It's all young people decked out in the most avant-garde fashions.
对,他们和成人世界按部就班的做事方式完全相反。不过,等他们进入社会以后,也会穿上风衣,成为银座无数白领里的一员。这部片子里就采访了好几个这样的人。

Yeah, they do things in a totally different way from the regimented adults. But after they enter the mainstream, they will become one of the countless white-collar workers of Ginza. In this movie they interviewed a lot of people like that.
