Okinawa governor to cancel permits for new US military base
冲绳县知事取消美军新基地建设许可
The governor of Japan's southern island of Okinawa says he will cancel permits for building a new United States air base on Okinawa. Governor Takeshi Onaga made the announcement after talks broke down between his administration and Japan's central government.
日本南部岛屿冲绳县知事表示，他将取消美军在冲绳建造新空军基地的许可。冲绳县知事翁长雄志在冲绳县政府同日本中央政府谈判失败后宣布了这一消息。
His decision was announced just days after work on the base restarted near a coastal village on the island. The building project had been suspended for one month to give the two sides time to negotiate.
他宣布这一决定仅仅在该基地重启建设工作之后的数天之后，该基地位于冲绳岛一处沿海村庄附近。该建设项目之前中断了一个月，以便给双方时间来谈判。
Mr. Onaga was elected governor last year after promising to block the relocation of the U.S. Marine Corps' Futenma Air Base. The base was to be moved from a heavily populated area of Okinawa to a village called Henoko. Instead, Mr. Onaga wants the facility to be moved to another island. Over 19,000 U.S. Marines are stationed in Okinawa in order to rapidly respond to regional threats, provide disaster assistance and defend the interests of the United States and Japan.
翁长雄志先生去年在承诺阻止美国海军陆战队普天间空军基地搬迁后当选为冲绳县知事。该基地从冲绳县一处人口稠密的地区搬迁到边野古。翁长雄志先生希望该基地搬迁到另一座岛屿。超过1.9万名海军陆战队士兵驻扎在冲绳以便快速应对地区威胁、提供灾难援助以及捍卫美、日利益。
However, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told reporters Monday that work on the new base on Henoko will continue. The central government could bring legal action against Mr. Onaga to block his action.
不过，日本内阁官房长官菅义伟告诉记者，边野古新基地建设工作将会继续进行。日本中央政府将会对翁长雄志先生发起法律诉讼以阻止他的行动。(51VOA.COM对本文翻译保留全部权利，未经授权请勿转载，违者必究！)
