Earlier in the day Yuichiro Hata, Japan’s land minister, and Mikio Shimoji, postal reform minister, visited Yasakuni, the shrine to Japan’s war dead that many in Asia regard as a symbol of Japan’s past militarism. Yasukuni is dedicated to almost 2.5m soldiers and civilians who died in the service of Imperial Japan and some of the deceased honoured were convicted war criminals.
当天早些时候,日本国土交通大臣羽田雄一郎(Yuichiro Hata)和邮政改革担当大臣下地干郎(Mikio Shimoji)参拜了靖国神社。靖国神社是用来供奉日本战死者亡灵的地方,被亚洲许多人视为当年日本军国主义的象征。靖国神社存放着近250万为日本帝国战死的军人和平民的灵位,包括一些战犯。
Mr Gemba sought to downplay the ministers’ visit, saying it had been made in their capacity as “private citizens rather than government officials.
玄叶光一郎寻求淡化参拜一事的影响。他表示,他们是以私人身份而不是政府官员身份进行参拜的。
On Wednesday, Shinzo Abe, leader of Japan’s main opposition party and probably the next prime minister, also visited Yasukuni. This drew an angry response from Chinese state media, which described the visit as shortsighted and cowardly.
周三,日本主要反对党党首、可能成为下任首相的安倍晋三(Shinzo Abe)也参拜了靖国神社。中国官方媒体对此非常愤怒,称安倍参拜是短视和懦弱之举。
