论文摘要
我们介绍了一篇文章的英文翻译和讨论，日本物理学家Torahiko Terada在1922年写道。在论文中，他描述了等待时间的悖论，也称为Bus Paradox，这是排队理论，随机过程和现代临时网络分析中已知的数学现象。他还观察并分析了关于东京市电车的数据，以验证当时等待时间悖论与东京繁忙的乘客的相关性。这篇文章似乎是等待时间悖论的最早文档之一。
We present an English translation and discussion of an essay that a Japanese physicist, Torahiko Terada, wrote in 1922. In the essay, he described the waiting-time paradox, also called the bus paradox, which is a known mathematical phenomenon in queuing theory, stochastic processes, and modern temporal network analysis. He also observed and analyzed data on Tokyo City trams to verify the relevance of the waiting-time paradox to busy passengers in Tokyo at the time. This essay seems to be one of the earliest documentations of the waiting-time paradox in a sufficiently scientific manner.
