日本时间8月8日下午3时，82岁的明仁天皇向国民发表了罕见的电视讲话。天皇在讲话中表明，考虑到自己的年龄，已经准备好随时可能到来的退位。上个月，日本放送协会曾报道称明仁天皇有意在未来几年退位。天皇提前退位在日本现代历史上从未发生过。

Japan's Emperor Akihito has strongly indicated he wants to step down, saying he fears his age will make it difficult to fulfill his duties.

日本明仁天皇强烈暗示希望退位，称担心自己年事已高，难以履行职责。

The revered 82-year-old emperor's comments came in only his second-ever televised address to the public.

现年82岁的天皇备受尊崇，在其第二次面向公众的电视讲话中，他流露了自己的意向。

Emperor Akihito did not explicitly say he wanted to abdicate as he is barred from making political statements.

由于不能发布政治声明，明仁天皇并未明确表示希望退位。

PM Shinzo Abe said the government would take the remarks "seriously" and discuss what could be done.

日本首相安倍晋三称，政府会“严肃”对待天皇的讲话并商讨可行措施。

"Upon reflecting how he handles his official duty and so on, his age and the current situation of how he works, I do respect the heavy responsibility the emperor must be feeling and I believe we need to think hard about what we can do," he said.
