In Japan, voters will head to the polls on Sunday in a snap election called by Prime Minister Sanae Takaishi.

日本將在週日舉行閃電選舉，由總理高市早苗召開。

The conservative leader called the vote in the hope of strengthening her party's position in parliament.

這位保守派領袖召開選舉，希望能加強她在國會的黨派地位。

情態助動詞 B1

Opinion polls suggest that gamble may pay off, with many voters drawn to her direct style and focus on cost of living pressures.

民意調查顯示，這場豪賭可能會奏效，許多選民被她直率的風格和對生活成本壓力的關注所吸引。

Just months after taking office, Prime Minister Sanae Takechi has been campaigning in the final days before Japan's general election.

上任僅幾個月，總理高市早苗在日本大選前的最後幾天積極競選。

She's hoping to bolster her party's seats in parliament's lower house, strengthening her hand to govern after years of political instability.

她希望能加強她在國會下議院的黨派席次，以加強她在經歷多年政治不穩定後的執政能力。

I think we keep changing prime ministers way too often.

我覺得我們總理更換得太頻繁了。

This time, Japan got its first female prime minister, Ms. Taka Ichi.

這一次，日本迎來了第一位女性總理，高市女士。

But you know, her term so far has been quite short.

但你知道，她的任期到目前為止相當短暫。

It feels like politicians only just started campaigning and I haven't really listen to what they're saying yet at home, Japan's first female prime minister's short time in office has been marked by a promise to combat rising prices with tax cuts and heavy government spending.

感覺上政治人物才剛開始競選，我還沒真正聽進他們在家說了什麼，日本第一位女性總理的短暫任期以承諾透過減稅和大量政府支出來對抗物價上漲為標誌。

Abroad, she's been making waves, deepening cooperation with the United States and South Korea, while taking a firm hand on neighboring China.

在國外，她也引起了關注，深化了與美國和南韓的合作，同時對鄰國中國採取了強硬立場。

The international situation is increasingly difficult.

The Chinese military has conducted military exercises around Taiwan.

中國軍隊已在臺灣周邊進行軍事演習。

You can also see how China uses economic coercion to force other countries to submit to its demands by controlling raw materials in supply chains, materials that the world relies on and are widely used for civilian purposes.

你也可以看到中國如何透過控制供應鏈中的原料來進行經濟脅迫，迫使其他國家屈服於其要求，這些原料是全世界都依賴的，並且廣泛用於民用。

That tougher, more nationalist tone is resonating with some voters, and Takechi is doing well in the polls.

那種更強硬、更具民族主義的語氣引起了一些選民的共鳴，高市女士在民意調查中表現不錯。

And after years of political churn, many value Takechi's direct style and emphasis on national security.

而且在多年的政治動盪之後，許多人重視高市女士的直接風格和對國家安全的重視。

But her election bid is facing a significant challenge.

Japan's main opposition party and a former coalition partner are joining forces, aiming to pull Japanese politics back towards the center.

日本主要反對黨和一個前執政夥伴正在聯手，目標是將日本政治拉回中間路線。

Our two parties have reached an agreement to form a new party so we can fight this election together.

我們的兩個政黨已達成協議，將組成一個新政黨，以便我們能一起競選。

That fight will come to a head when Japan's voters decide all 465 seats in parliament's lower house.

這場較量將在日本選民決定國會下議院全部 465 個席位時達到高潮。

Takechi's short but eventful time in office has been marked by speed and decisiveness, and

而且高市女士任期雖短但充滿事件，其特點是迅速且果斷，

she's now betting that this snap election will turn that bold approach into stronger leadership for her and her party.

她現在正賭這場閃電選舉能將她和她政黨的大膽做法轉化為更強的領導力。

And joining us now from Japan is Jeffrey Hall.

He's a lecturer in international studies at Kanda University in Tokyo.

他是東京神田大學國際研究講師。

What's really at stake in this map election?

這場閃電選舉真正關鍵的是什麼？

Well, it's great to be on the program and Let me just say that what is at stake is Takaichi's career as Prime Minister.

很高興能參與節目，讓我說，關鍵在於高市女士的總理職涯。

She has pledged that if the LDP and its coalition partner don't reach a stable majority in the election, she will step down, which will mean that Japan's first female Prime Minister will be one of the shortest serving prime ministers in Japanese history.

她承諾，如果自民黨及其執政夥伴無法在選舉中取得穩定多數，她將辭職，這意味著日本首位女性總理將成為日本任期最短的總理之一。

But as you just said, the polls are looking good for her, so it looks like she's going to reach that goal and it could be a very successful night for the ldp.

但正如您剛才所說，民意調查對她有利，所以看起來她將達成目標，這對自民黨來說可能是一個非常成功的夜晚。

Yeah, you just mentioned as the first woman prime Minister of Japan, she made quite a splash on the international stage.

對，你剛才提到身為日本首位女性總理，她在國際舞臺上引起了很大的關注。

How big a role does foreign policy play in this campaign?

這次選戰中，外交政策扮演了多大的角色？

I think that foreign policy is a huge thing in this campaign because she's only been in office for three months and she hasn't really, really done much domestically.

我認為外交政策在這場選戰中非常重要，因為她上任才三個月，國內其實沒有什麼實質的建樹。

She hasn't gone through the pain of passing a budget and deciding major fiscal policies.

她還沒經歷過通過預算、決定重大財政政策的艱難過程。

So what she really has to stand on are her international achievements, which are great performances.

所以她真正能倚賴的是她的國際成就，那些都是很精彩的表現。

Playing the drums with South Korea's president hugging and jumping on stage with Trump smiling.

和南韓總統一起打鼓，和川普擁抱、跳上舞臺，臉上帶著笑容。

These kind of things seem unusual to Japanese voters because usually Japanese prime ministers are very dull and boring when they go to international conferences.

這些舉動對日本選民來說似乎很不尋常，因為日本總理在國際會議上通常都非常沉悶無趣。

So this is helping really improve her approval ratings.

所以這確實有助於提升她的支持率。

Now, the opposition, of course, has united in an effort to challenge the ruling party.

現在，反對黨當然已經團結起來，試圖挑戰執政黨。

How much of a threat do you think does that alliance pose as voters get ready to cast their ballots today or tomorrow?

隨著選民準備在今天或明天投票，你認為這個聯盟會構成多大的威脅？

In the first days after the election was called, this centrist alliance seemed like it could be a major electoral threat.

選舉剛宣佈的最初幾天，這個中間聯盟似乎可能構成重大的選舉威脅。

But the polls are indicating that the voters from one of the two parties that merge with the other aren't necessarily going to vote for the new party.

但民意調查顯示，合併的兩個政黨之一的選民不一定會投票給新政黨。

And it might be a party that only lasts for one single election because it's set to possibly lose half of the seats that it already has.

這可能只是一個政黨，只會存在於一次選舉中，因為它可能會失去現有的一半席位。

So it's not really turning out to be the huge threat that they had hoped it would be to Prime Minister Takechi.

所以它並沒有真正成為他們希望對總理武士（Takechi）構成的巨大威脅。

All right, Jeffrey hall there, an international studies lecturer at Tokyo's Kando University, on that snap election there in Japan.

好的，感謝在東京神田大學（Kando University）任教的國際研究講師 Jeffrey Hall 帶來日本閃電選舉的報導。
