School starts at 8.25am and finishes at 3.30pm, with perhaps another hour for an extracurricular club. So far, so normal — except the day is just beginning. With luck, there is time to dash home for a snack, before another round of lessons at cram school from 5pm to 8pm. You commute home from that, eat, do your school homework then collapse into bed before getting up and doing it all again the next day. It is a standard schedule for many 10-year-olds in Tokyo.
學(xué)校上午8點(diǎn)25上課，下午3點(diǎn)30放學(xué)，可能還有一個(gè)小時(shí)的課外俱樂(lè)部活動(dòng)。到目前為止，一切正?！贿^(guò)這一天才剛剛開(kāi)始。幸運(yùn)的話，在下午5點(diǎn)到8點(diǎn)補(bǔ)習(xí)班的新一輪課程開(kāi)始之前，還有時(shí)間沖回家吃點(diǎn)零食。從補(bǔ)習(xí)班回到家，吃飯，做作業(yè)，然后倒頭睡覺(jué)，第二天起床再重復(fù)同樣的一天。這是東京許多十來(lái)歲孩子的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)時(shí)間表。
