Tell us what is the significance of this opening and what does it mean for Japan?

請告訴我們這次開幕式的意義，以及它對日本意味著什麼？

Of course, you know, Kumamoto TSMC fab is very significant for Japan

當然，你也知道，熊本臺積電工廠對日本意義重大

because, you know, the fab is kind of a to fill a gap between supply and demand

因為，你知道，晶圓廠的作用是填補供需缺口

in Japan. So without investment from TSMC,

在日本。所以沒有臺積電的投資、

we only have over 40 nanometer technology node in Japan.

在日本，我們只有 40 多個納米技術節點。

But you know, recently the demand for less than 40 nano is getting traction in

但是你知道嗎，最近，對小於 40 納米的需求在以下領域得到了關注

Japan, buying, you know, like Japanese

日本，購買，你知道，就像日本

industrial or other, you know, robotics industry, etc..

工業或其他，你知道的，機器人工業等。

So that's why the supply capacity from Kumamoto DFC.

這就是熊本 DFC 供應能力的原因。

TSMC first Fab from 28 to 12 is kind of essential to the Japanese industrial

臺積電首個晶圓廠從 28 家減至 12 家對日本工業來說至關重要

activities. We've reported that the numbers could be

活動。我們曾報道，這些數字可能是

20 to $30 billion. It could go as high as $67 billion in

200 億至 300 億美元。到 2015 年，這一數字可能高達 670 億美元。

terms of financial support from the chip industry.

芯片業的資金支持。

What would you say to the taxpayers of Japan who are going to help build this

你想對日本的納稅人說什麼？

industry? Why is it worth it?

行業？為什麼值得這樣做？

I think, you know, Japanese public people already realize the importance of

我想，你知道，日本民眾已經意識到了......

the support for semi industry. So what we what we are doing is to, you

So the kind of, you know, economic security perspective is the one element

是以，從經濟安全的角度看問題是一個要素

and the other is economic kind of a ripple effect perspective as an example.

另一個例子是經濟學的漣漪效應視角。

You know, TSMC project is expected to have the, you know, large scale of the

你知道，臺積電項目預計將擁有，你知道，大規模的

economic, you know, spillover effect. So actually, you know, we already have

經濟，你知道，溢出效應。是以，實際上，你知道，我們已經

watched semi ready, you know, companies, many similar related companies are

看著半準備就緒，你知道，公司，許多類似的相關公司都是

moving into the Kumamoto prefecture. I'll be our TSMC is, you know actually

遷入熊本縣。我將是我們的臺積電，你知道實際上

constructing the first five. So which of course you know investment

建設前五個。所以，你當然知道投資

you know spillover effect as well as you know create job creation as well.

你知道溢出效應，你也知道創造就業機會。

And also considering the salary bill or payment level from TSMC, it is higher

此外，考慮到臺積電的薪資賬單或支付水準，它也更高。

than the you know of course you know standard of of Japanese companies.

比日本公司的標準要高。

So which can make a very positive impact in terms of the raising following the

是以，這將對提高以下方面的能力產生非常積極的影響

bill as well in Japan. It seems like Japan has jumped out to an

early lead in this effort to build the domestic chip industry.

在建立國內芯片產業的努力中處於領先地位。

The United States is trying to do similar things.

美國也在努力做類似的事情。

Europe is trying to do certain things also.
