It's your worst nightmare,

这是你经历过的最糟糕的噩梦,

your mid commute and it hits you.

下班的时候,这场噩梦悄然而至。

You've put your phone or wallet down somewhere and lost it.

你把手机或者钱包放在什么地方,然后就丢了。

But then you remember you're in Tokyo and you relax

但是你随即意识到自己身处日本,就放松了下来,

because Tokyo's lost and found is one of the best in the world.

毕竟日本的失物招领堪称世界最佳。

So what makes Japan's lost and found system so successful?

那日本的失物招领系统是为何如此成功呢?

First, reporting a missing item is easy.

首先,报告丢失的物品十分容易。

Police can be found in small stations called Koban, which are located around the city.

你在城市遍地可见的小车站就能找到警察。

Once a report is filed, the items are held at the police box for two weeks.

一旦报案,找到的物品就会被放在警察局的失物招领箱两周。

If they are not collected, the items are taken to the lost and found center in Bunkyo Ward,

如果没有找到失主,这些物品就会被带到本京区的失物招领中心,

a six story facility which hosts over 900,000 items.

失物招领中心有六层楼高,存放着90多万件物品。

Cell phones, ID cards and even wallets full of cash, all have a high success rate of being returned.

手机、身份证、装满现金的钱包,这些都有很高的返还成功率。

Not so lucky are the umbrellas of Tokyo.

东京的雨伞就没那么幸运了。

But as one of the most commonly misplaced and inexpensive items, it could be worse.

雨伞是最常见的失物,而且价格低廉,它们的情况可能更糟。

Yeah, that's worse.

是的,情况更糟。

Although the infrastructure is in place to make an efficient return system,

尽管基础设施已经到位,足以建立一个高效的返还失物系统,

none of this would be possible without the people of Tokyo.

但如果没有东京人,这一切也就无法实现了。

So if you're going to misplace something, make sure you do it in Tokyo.

所以如果你把东西放错了地方,那一定要在东京呀。
