Japan's ruling party on Saturday picked hardline conservative Sanae Takaichi as its leader.

日本執政黨週六選出強硬保守派高市早苗擔任黨魁。

And with that, Takaichi is on course to become the country's first female prime minister in a move set to jolt investors.

如此一來，高市有望成為日本首位女性首相，此舉預計將震驚投資者。

She's a former economic, security and internal affairs minister with an expansionary fiscal agenda.

她曾擔任經濟、安全及內務大臣，並推動擴張性財政議程。

And compared to her main competitor, she offered a starker vision for change rather than being happy.

相較於主要競爭者，她提出了更為鮮明的變革願景，而非安於現狀。

我覺得艱鉅的工作從這裡開始。

All of us together have a ton of work to do.

我們大家一起還有好多好多事情要做。

We have a lot of policies to execute speedily.

The Liberal Democratic Party elected Takechi to regain trust from a public angered by rising prices and drawn to opposition groups promising stimulus and clampdowns on migrants.

自民黨選出高市，是為了重拾民眾的信任，他們對物價上漲感到憤怒，並被承諾提供刺激措施和嚴厲打擊移民的反對派所吸引。

Here's Tina Beretz, professor of political science at Tokyo's Sophia University.

接下來是東京上智大學政治學教授 Tina Beretz。

So I think the election of Takaishi probably reflects a shift towards the right, a more sort of nationalist type of politics in Japan, which has been going on really I think probably since the 1990s.

所以我認為高市的當選，可能反映了日本政治轉向右傾，一種更偏向民族主義的政治趨勢，這其實從 1990 年代就開始了。

But in the past couple of years, the people who've been elected, the leaders of the LDP generally come from the more liberal wing of the party.

但在過去幾年，被選出來的黨內領導人，自民黨的領導人通常來自黨內比較自由的派系。

So I think this is significant within the party's politics to say that the right to recapture the leadership, which they haven't really held I think really since Prime Minister Abe, she wants to see more fiscal stimulus, more spending as a way of trying to kick start the economy.

所以我覺得這對黨內政治來說很重要，可以說右派要重拾領導權，我認為自從安倍 prime minister 以來，她就一直想要更多的 fiscal stimulus，更多的 spending，以此來刺激經濟。

Takechi told a press conference on Saturday.

Quote, right now I believe Japan's economy is in a very fragile state.

引述，我認為日本經濟目前處於一個非常脆弱的狀態。

She also said she planned to honor an investment deal with US President Donald Trump that lowered his punishing tariffs in return for Japanese taxpayer backed investments, having previously suggested redoing it.

她還表示，她計劃遵守與美國總統 Donald Trump 達成的一項投資協議，該協議以日本納稅人支持的投資換取降低他的懲罰性關稅，此前她曾建議重新談判。

Some of her supporters viewed her win on Saturday as a watershed in Japan's male dominated politics.

她的一些支持者認為她在週六的勝利是日本男性主導政治的一個分水嶺。

A vote in Parliament to choose a replacement for the outgoing prime minister is expected on October 15th.

預計將於 10 月 15 日在國會投票選出接替即將離任的 prime minister。

Takechi is favored as the ruling coalition has the largest number of seats.

高市被看好，因為執政聯盟擁有最多的席位。

Beats been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the they're doing it.

他們奮鬥了太久太久，以至於他們不知道自己在做什麼。
