Episode Details

Eighty-one years ago, Nagasaki was erased in a blinding flash, with 74,000 victims incinerated by a weapon that should have been the last.

八十一年前，一道刺目的强光将长崎从地图上抹去，7.4万人被这枚"本应是最后一颗"的原子弹瞬间吞噬。

Three days earlier, Hiroshima had suffered the same fate.
三天前，广岛已遭受了同样的命运。

During those three days, Japanese militarists kept insisting that people sacrifice themselves for the "glorious Empire of Japan".
在那三天里，日本军国主义者仍在一味要求民众为所谓"光荣的大日本帝国"牺牲性命。

The destruction of Nagasaki finally shattered that dangerous faith and forced Japan's unconditional surrender to the Allied Powers six days later.
长崎的毁灭最终击碎了这一危险信念，六天后，日本被迫向同盟国无条件投降。

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi made it clear at the Hiroshima memorial ceremony on Thursday and again at the Nagasaki memorial ceremony on Sunday that the country's neo-militarists have learned nothing from the horrors of the bombings.
日本首相高市早苗8月6日在广岛悼念仪式上、8月9日在长崎悼念仪式上的表现均已清楚表明，该国新军国主义势力并未从原爆的惨痛历史中汲取任何教训。

At Nagasaki's Peace Park, the city's mayor, Shiro Suzuki, called nuclear weapons an "absolute evil".
在长崎和平公园，该市市长铃木史朗将核武器称为"绝对的邪恶"。

Yet, standing just a few feet away, Takaichi offered only deliberate ambiguity over whether her government will abide by the Three Non-Nuclear Principles.
然而，站在仅几步之遥的高市，对其政府是否将恪守"无核三原则"却故意含糊其辞。

Japan already operates under the protection of the United States' nuclear umbrella.
日本本已处于美国核保护伞的庇护之下。

To invoke a purported "external threat" as a rationale for acquiring an independent nuclear deterrent is hardly the "realistic and pragmatic approach" Takaichi describes — rather, it lays bare the unmistakable ambitions of the country's neo-militarist faction.
以所谓"外部威胁"为借口谋求独立核威慑力量，绝非高市所标榜的"现实而务实的做法"，恰恰相反，这暴露出该国新军国主义势力毫不掩饰的野心。

Takaichi will not say she intends to revise the principles, but neither will she promise to preserve them.
高市既不明确表示要修改这些原则，也不承诺将予以坚守。
