日本对于结束生命的“自杀”行为是难以解释清楚的。日本素以切腹自杀闻名于世,它也是日本武士阶级在大约700多年的时间里一种为名誉而死的形式。虽然日本明治维新以后废除了武士阶级,进入了现代社会,但切腹自杀的传统却延续了下来。 Japan’s “suicide” act to end the life is hard to explain. Japan is known for its cutting-edge suicide and it is also a form of honor that the Japanese samurai died in for about 700 years. Although Japan’s Meiji Restoration later abolished the warrior class and entered the modern society, the tradition of cutting himself to suicide continued.
