点评:I first visited Nara over 10 years ago, and it truly feels like the deer population has multiplied since then — there are so many deer everywhere. One thing to keep in mind is that these are wild animals. They are friendly, but do not provoke them. If I’m being honest, some tourists were behaving a bit silly. Be gentle with the deer. Be respectful. Female deer can become aggressive in spring after giving birth as they protect their offspring, and male deer may show aggression in autumn during mating season, so extra caution is needed. The Japanese consider them sacred animals. You can purchase deer biscuits to feed them. Deer crackers have been part of Nara’s culture since the Edo period and represent a long-standing tradition of interaction between people and the deer. Do not feed them anything else. Watch your belongings. If, like me, you get a little nervous around animals, you can cross the road to avoid some of the deer — though you will most likely encounter a few while exploring Nara.
翻译:我第一次去奈良是十多年前,感觉鹿的数量真的比那时多了很多——到处都是鹿。记住,它们是野生动物。它们很友善,但千万不要招惹它们。说实话,有些游客的行为确实有点傻。请温柔地对待鹿,尊重它们。雌鹿在春天产仔后会变得比较凶猛,因为它们会保护幼崽;雄鹿在秋天交配季节也会表现出攻击性,所以要格外小心。日本人视鹿为神圣的动物。你可以买鹿饼喂它们。鹿饼自江户时代起就是奈良文化的一部分,代表着人与鹿之间由来已久的互动传统。不要喂它们其他任何东西。保管好你的随身物品。如果你像我一样,对动物有点紧张,可以走到马路对面避开一些鹿——不过在奈良游览期间,你很可能会遇到一些鹿。
