網(wǎng)友討論：為什么韓國如此成功？

That depends how you measure success, on which items you’d put in your basket of goodies.
I moved to S Korea from the UK 10 years ago. The number of Covid deaths in the UK in one day sometimes exceeds S Korea’s total since the first death almost a year ago. By that measure, it is successful.
Half of all living former South Korean presidents are now in prison, mostly on corruption charges. Others now dead also spent time behind bars. Is that a success? Compared with other nations where the president imprisons campaigners for democracy to stay in their palaces for life, it is a success.
In terms of giving space, safety and priority to pedestrians, cyclists and those with disability, cars have taken over and routinely park with impunity on pavements and pedestrian crossings.
Like I said, it all depends on your basket of goodies. However, the scales tend to tip towards S Korea being a success, especially if you compare with the North.

這要取決于你對成功的定義，你對成功衡量的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是什么。
十年前我從英國搬到了韓國。一年前自英國首例新冠死亡病例出現(xiàn)以來，英國一天的新冠死亡病例有時就超過了韓國新冠死亡病例的總數(shù)。按這個標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來看，韓國是成功的。
一半在世的韓國前總統(tǒng)如今身陷牢獄，幾乎都是因為貪污腐敗的原因。已經(jīng)過世的總統(tǒng)也曾經(jīng)坐過牢。這算是成功嗎？與那些總統(tǒng)將競選的候選人終身囚禁的國家相比，韓國算成功
在為行人，騎自行車的人，殘疾人提供空間，安全和禮讓方面，韓國汽車已經(jīng)徹底擠占了人行道和十字路口而且不用遭到任何處罰。
正如我先前所言，一切取決于你的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。然而人們往往認(rèn)為韓國是一個成功的國家，特別是與朝鮮相比

I lived in South Korea for 5 years. Koreans work and study hard, I mean really hard. This work ethic actually took a while to comprehend and I felt lazy in comparison.
My Korean friends would often tell me that since they were young their parents or teachers would always tell them that South Korea is a country with limited natural resources so our people are our best resources, therefore we should study as hard as possible and work as hard as possible for the overall well-being of the nation.

我曾在韓國生活過5年。韓國人在工作和學(xué)習(xí)上非常的努力，我是說真的非常努力。需要花好一會才能理解他們的這種職業(yè)道德，相比之下我就有點懶了。
我的韓國朋友經(jīng)常和我說在他們小時候他們的父母和老師常常和他們講韓國是一個自然資源有限的國家，人是我們最好的資源，所以我們要盡可能為國家的整體福祉努力的工作和學(xué)習(xí)

When the topic of sleep came up, people were shocked to hear that I was always told that a minimum of 8 hours is ideal and recommended in general by doctors. In Korea it is said that 6 hours of sleep is an ideal night sleep, though I know many who averaged 4.
There are study rooms in Korea which are about the size of closet with just a bed and desk and you cram for a month or so before a test.
Many of my Korean friends had degrees and certificates out the wazoo, highest levels of proficiency in multiple foreign languages.
I’m living in Japan now which is also a country that is known for its strong work ethnic, but when compared to Korea it seems laid back. Bottom line is, Koreans don’t mess around and 2nd place is not an option in any endeavor. In a country armed with a population of people with this kind of ethic and skills acquired through this ethic, innovation and success is an inevitable consequence.

當(dāng)聊到睡覺這個話題時，他們聽到我說醫(yī)生通常建議我一天至少要睡8個小時時總是一臉震驚。據(jù)說在韓國晚上理想的睡眠時間是六個小時，但我知道許多韓國人平均就睡4個小時
韓國的自習(xí)室只有壁櫥大小，里面只有一張床和一張桌子，在考試之前，你可以在里面復(fù)習(xí)一個月的時間
我的許多韓國朋友都擁有學(xué)位并且精通多國語言
我現(xiàn)在住在日本，一個同樣以擁有強烈職業(yè)道德聞名的國家，但與韓國相比，日本人似乎可以算是悠閑的了。韓國人的底線是不會胡鬧，第二名從來不是努力的目標(biāo)。一個國家的人民擁有如此的道德規(guī)范和與道德規(guī)范相符的技能，那么創(chuàng)新和成功就是不可避免的了

Today the success is on the decline due to fierce price competition from China, rising unemployment, rising age of population, missing nuclear power and waste disposal strategy. Not to mention missing unification concept and ongoing tensions with Donald Trump. And we do not know how Corona virus will proceed in South Korea.
While South Koreans are undeniable hard workers, I think they are not smart workers. Productivity is low, disruptive thinking is missing due to confucian mindset. Where is the first South Korean Nobel Prize winner in natural sciences?
And does being successful mean, they are happy? No free time, high devorce and suicide rates! Rising difference between the Poor and the Rich, as being documented with ‘Parasite’.

由于遭到來自中國激烈的價格競爭，不斷上升的失業(yè)率，不斷增加的老人，缺少核能和廢棄物處理戰(zhàn)略，韓國的成功正在不斷地衰退。更不用說統(tǒng)一觀念的缺失和特朗普不斷緊張的關(guān)系。而且還不知道新冠病毒在韓國將會如何肆虐。
雖然韓國人工作非常努力，這是不容置疑的，但我認(rèn)為他們并不聰明。韓國的生產(chǎn)力很低，由于儒家思想的關(guān)系，韓國人缺乏發(fā)散性思維。韓國第一位自然科學(xué)諾貝爾獎得主在哪？
成功是否就意味著幸福？沒有自由的時間，高離婚率和高自殺率。窮人和富人的差距正在不斷拉大，正如《寄生蟲》這部電影所講述的那樣。

As a Korean, the answers to this question are impressive because many foreigners spoke work ethic for reasons of success.
I think so too.
The surprising thing about Koreans is that younger generations have stronger work ethic and more competitive abilities.
Even today, I am influenced by the younger generation and try to improve myself.
I hope there will be more jobs for them. It is a just world response to the enormous efforts and talents of the young people.
My vague guessing for one of the reason is Hangul. The easy alphabet for Korean language. From this, Korean kids get very clear feeling to ego at very early time. And they can think logically using their own language ability like adult.

作為一個韓國人，這個問題的答案令人印象深刻，因為許多外國人將韓國的成功歸功于韓國人的職業(yè)道德。
我認(rèn)為的確如此
令人驚訝的是年輕一代的韓國人擁有更強的職業(yè)道德和更強的競爭力
甚至是現(xiàn)在我都會受到年輕一代的影響努力提高自己。
我希望他們能有更多的就業(yè)機會。這是世界對年輕人付出巨大努力和才能的公正回應(yīng)。
我想另一個原因是韓國的字母文字。使用字母的韓文比較簡單，因此韓國孩子在非常小的時候就可以感知到自我的存在。他們可以想成人一樣用自己的語言進(jìn)行邏輯性思考

Is South Korea a successful country?
When talked about South Korean success you only hear about the economic success. Economically South Korea is probably rather a developed country. I haven't seen any other data. I think success should not only be measured economically. But since no other data is provided it is very hard to know on which level South Korea is placed culturally and in strict human and social development. I am afraid all the information is a much to economical interpretation lacking all other aspects heavily.

韓國是一個成功的國家嗎？
當(dāng)提到韓國的成功時，你聽到的只有他經(jīng)濟上的成功。在經(jīng)濟上韓國或許是一個相當(dāng)發(fā)達(dá)的國家。我沒有看到其他別的數(shù)據(jù)，我認(rèn)為成功不能僅僅用經(jīng)濟來衡量。但既然沒有其他的數(shù)據(jù)那就很難知道韓國在文化和社會人文方面處于哪個階段?？峙滤械男畔⒋蟛糠侄际怯嘘P(guān)經(jīng)濟方面的，其他方面的信息嚴(yán)重缺乏

Majonghu Sofine
In many ways yes.
History showed its much better to be assisted by the US than China. The difference between N korea and S korea.

在很多方面，韓國是一個成功的國家
歷史證明得到美國的援助要比得到中國的要好得多。看一下朝鮮和韓國就知道區(qū)別在哪
