日本明仁天皇有意提前退位? 官方進行闢謠
Japanese Emperor Akihito intends to abdicate in a few years, public broadcaster NHK said last Wednesday, a step that would be unprecedented in modern Japan.
日本公共廣播公司NHK上週三報道稱，該國明仁天皇打算在未來幾年退位，這在日本現代歷史上尚無先例。The 82-year-old monarch, who has had heart surgery and been treated for prostate cancer in recent years, expressed his intention to the Imperial Household Agency, NHK said.
NHK報道稱，這位現年82歲的天皇近年來已經接受了心臟手術和前列腺癌的治療。他向宮內廳表達了自己的意願。Kyodo news agency, quoting a government source, said Akihito had been expressing his intention to abdicate to people around him for about a year.
《日本共同社》引用一則政府消息來源稱，明仁天皇在一年前就已經向他身邊的人表示了自己打算退位的打算。
He didn't want surrogates frequently carrying out his duties as he aged. His 56-year-old son, Crown Prince Naruhito, is expected to succeed to the throne.
他不希望因爲年事已高而頻繁找人代理其公務。預計其現年56歲的兒子，皇太子德仁將繼承皇位。But Shinichiro Yamamoto, vice grand steward of the Imperial Household Agency, said that the report was false.
但宮內廳次長山本信一郎稱，該報道不實。Asked whether the agency was studying a change to the law, he responded, "We are not studying it, because the emperor has no feelings of the sort that would be the critical precondition" for such an examination.
當被問及宮內廳是否在研究修改法律時，他迴應稱，他們並未對此進行研究，因爲天皇沒有此類想法，只有天皇有這樣的想法時纔會進行這樣的研究。Born in 1933, Akihito was heir to Emperor Hirohito, in whose name Japan fought World War Two.
生於1933年的明仁天皇是發起二戰的裕仁天皇的繼承人。"Looking back at the past, together with deep remorse over the war, I pray that this tragedy of war will not be repeated and together with the people express my deep condolences for those who fell in battle and in the ravages of war," he said.
他曾表示：“回首過去，我對這場戰爭有着深深的自責。我祈禱這樣的悲劇不會重演，而對那些在戰鬥中陣亡、飽受戰爭蹂躪的人民，我表示沉重的哀悼。”
