11个震惊外国游客的日本习俗

11. Sleeping in capsule hotels in rooms barely bigger than a coffin is very common.
 

在仅比棺材大一点点的胶囊旅店睡觉是很常见的。

Capsule hotels are used as cheap accommodations for guests who purely want a place to sleep. They are used most often by businessmen working or by those who have partied too late and have missed the last train home.
 

胶囊旅店为那些只想随便找地方睡一晚的客人提供便宜的住宿。通常那些生意人和开派对太晚错过火车的人会住在这种地方。
The sleeping quarters are small capsules that are not much bigger than a coffin, and the beds are stacked side by side and on top of one another. The concept has been around in Japan since the 1970s, but it has begun to spread to a few other countries around the world.
睡觉的地方就像一个胶囊，只比棺材大一点点，而这些胶囊上下左右的挤在一起。这个概念在1970年代的日本已经有了，但最近已经开始传播到世界上的某些国家了。
The setup is a cheap alternative to a hotel, as a bed costs only $65 a night, but it should be avoided for anyone who suffers from even slight claustrophobia.
这是旅店的一种便宜替代品，一张床只要$65一晚，但任何有有闭恐惧症的人都应该避免住在这里。
