奧 巴馬就釣魚(yú)島表態(tài) 支持日本 President Obama hasarrived in Japan at the beginning of an Asian tour inwhich US allies are looking for assurances in theirterrotorial disputes with China. In an interview witha Japanese newspaper, President Obama said the USwould oppose any attempt to undermine Japan'sadministration of the disputed Senkaku or DiaoyuIslands in the East China Sea. The Chinese ForeignMinistry was quick to object, saying the US should keep its promise not to take sides in thedispute. President Obama will have dinner with the Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and hold furtherdiscussions on Thursday.

日前，美國(guó)總統(tǒng)奧巴馬抵達(dá)日本，開(kāi)始了亞洲之旅的第一站。此次 亞洲之旅期間，美國(guó)盟友將在與中國(guó)的領(lǐng)土紛爭(zhēng)方面尋求美國(guó)支持。奧巴馬在接受日本一家報(bào)紙采訪時(shí)說(shuō)，美國(guó)將反對(duì)任何破壞日本對(duì)中國(guó)東海島嶼釣魚(yú)島進(jìn)行治理 的行為。對(duì)此，中國(guó)外交部迅速進(jìn)行反對(duì)，指出美國(guó)應(yīng)該信守不站隊(duì)承諾。周四，奧巴馬將與日本首相安倍晉三共進(jìn)晚餐，展開(kāi)深入討論。

Well, I'm not entire sure because all the international relationship is changing today. And theJapanese constitution, if you read the constitution itself, it is sort of extremely pacifist.Therefore, I think there is a need for Japan to adjust the constitution to the need of the world.For instance, Japan just passed peacekeeping operations, but yet their use of weapons isextremely limited. It doesn't make much sense for the peacekeeping operations which hasbeen decided by the United Nations. So there is indeed a need for and an adjustment to theconstitution. But at the same time, there is a perception in foreign countries that PrimeMinister Abe is nationalist, conservative. Therefore, there has been some misunderstanding.I think in substance, what Prime Minister Abe is pursuing is not that extreme. I think this ismore or less adjusting everything to the need of the day.

我對(duì)現(xiàn)在的情 況不太確定，因?yàn)樗械膰?guó)際關(guān)系都在發(fā)生變化。如果你讀過(guò)日本的憲法，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)它帶有極強(qiáng)的和平主義色彩。因此，我認(rèn)為日本有必要根據(jù)世界的需要調(diào)整憲 法。例如，日本采取過(guò)維和行動(dòng)，但是使用武器是極受限制的。這不太符合聯(lián)合國(guó)發(fā)出的維和行動(dòng)的主旨。所以，日本憲法確實(shí)有修整的必要。但與此同時(shí)，有其他 國(guó)家認(rèn)為日本首先安倍是民族主義者，是保守派。這都是誤解。我認(rèn)為，實(shí)質(zhì)上，安倍首相所追求得沒(méi)有那么極端。他的所作所為只不過(guò)是針對(duì)現(xiàn)代社會(huì)需要進(jìn)行的 調(diào)整。

Let's talk about China. President Obama is not visiting China on this trip. But of course, therelationship between the US and Beijing is critical, not least in the context of the region wherethe Eastern South China Seas are potential flashpoints for conflict. What's the view fromTokyo with regard to that ?

我們?cè)賮?lái)談?wù)勚袊?guó)。此次亞洲之旅，奧巴馬將不訪問(wèn)中國(guó)。當(dāng)然，中美關(guān)系也很關(guān)鍵，尤其是中國(guó)南海東部，更是潛在的沖突爆發(fā)點(diǎn)。對(duì)此，日本的觀點(diǎn)是什么?

I think there is strong concerns on the part of Japan that China may be using its physical forceto chage the status quo of the day. Unilateral measures are being introduced by China inrelation to South China Sea, East China Sea.

我認(rèn)為，日本極度擔(dān)憂中國(guó)會(huì)使用武力改變現(xiàn)狀。在南海和東海的問(wèn)題上，中國(guó)正在引進(jìn)單邊策略。
