I don’t feel bad or angry at all. I just said, “I am Japanese”.

我并不覺(jué)得糟糕或者生氣。我只是會(huì)解釋說(shuō)：“我是日本人。”

I know that they can’t recognise which one is Japanese or Chinese.

我知道他們沒(méi)辦法區(qū)分哪個(gè)是中國(guó)人哪個(gè)是日本人。

We are all similar faces. I think they feel Asian is all same. I can’t recognise which one is American or English either.

我們擁有相同的臉，我覺(jué)得他們認(rèn)為亞洲人長(zhǎng)得都一樣，就像我也沒(méi)辦法區(qū)分美國(guó)人和英國(guó)人一樣。

I would actually be impressed if a Westerner recognizes me as Japanese.

如果西方人能認(rèn)出我是日本人我才會(huì)很驚訝。

I mean, even I sometimes can’t tell the Asians apart.

因?yàn)榧词故俏?，有時(shí)候也沒(méi)辦法區(qū)分亞洲人。

It’s a reasonable assumption since what, almost 90% of the East Asian population is Chinese.

這是非常合理的一條假設(shè)，因?yàn)?，中?guó)人口占據(jù)了東亞人口的90%。

I usually politely correct them, teach them the Japanese greetings (Konnichiwa), and walk away to get on with my life.

我通常會(huì)禮貌地糾正他們并且教他們?nèi)毡救说膯?wèn)候方式，然后走開(kāi)繼續(xù)過(guò)我的生活。

P.S. In reverse, I will also confess that despite living in Germany for the past two years, I have never been able to tell Italians and Germans apart.

備注：反過(guò)來(lái)，即使我在德國(guó)生活了兩年，我也沒(méi)辦法區(qū)分意大利人和德國(guó)人。

My wife either ignores it, or politely corrects them, depending on context.

我的妻子要嘛忽視它要嘛禮貌地糾正他們，完全取決于當(dāng)時(shí)的語(yǔ)境。
