【译文】

Japan has accused China of unilaterally exploring gas deposits in the East China Sea, in violation of an agreement to jointly develop disputed areas.

日本指责中国违反了共同开发有争议地区的协定，单方面开采中国东海天然气储备。

Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura told reporters Wednesday that Japan protested to China after a flare was seen Tuesday at a Chinese structure at an undersea gas deposit. Japan has made similar complaints several times in the past.

周三，日本内阁官房长官藤村修告诉记者，在于周二发现在一个海底天然气田的中国开采设施发出的闪光之后，日本向中国提出抗议。过去日本还几次做出过类似抗议。

"We have detected a flare, a sign that it is highly likely that there is a gas development going on," Fujimura said. "Any unilateral exploration is unacceptable."

“我们探测到了闪光，这标志着很可能有人在那里开发天然气。”藤村说。“任何单方面开采都不可接受。”

The deposit, known as Kashi in Japan and Tianwaitian in China, sits near a median line of the two countries' overlapping exclusive economic zones.

该天然气田在日本被叫做“樫”，在中国被叫做“天外天”，它位于两国重叠的专属经济区的中线附近。

Japan and China agreed in 2008 to suspend unilateral digging in that field while continuing talks, but talks have stalled since 2010, following a diplomatic spat stemming from a maritime collision near disputed southern islands claimed by both countries, as well as Taiwan.

2008年，日本和中国同意了在会谈持续时延缓在此区域的单方面挖掘，但会谈在2010年被搁置了，接着就是因在两国和台湾都声称享有主权的、仍有争议的南部岛屿附近发生的海事冲突而起的外交争论。

Fujimura said China's activity around the disputed field violates the agreement.

藤村说，中国在有争议区域的活动违反了协定。

A Foreign Ministry official in charge of China affairs said later Wednesday that Beijing justified its activity, repeating its claim that China has sovereignty over the area.

后来，一位主管中国事务的外交部官员在周三说，北京说自己的行为是合理的，并再次声明中国享有该区域的主权。

Days earlier, Beijing accused Tokyo of naming a group of uninhabited southern islands in nearby waters that both countries claim.

几天前，北京指责东京为两国都声称享有主权的附近海域中一些无人居住的南部岛屿命名。

Four of the islands are in the disputed Senkaku, or Diaoyu, chain in the East China Sea. The islands, also claimed by China and Taiwan, have been a flashpoint in diplomatic relations.

这些岛屿中的四个都在有争议的“尖阁群岛”，或说“钓鱼岛”中，它们都在中国东海。中国和台湾也都声称享有这些岛屿的主权，这些岛屿总是外交关系中的导火索。

Beijing said Tokyo's naming attempt is "illegal and invalid," the ministry official said on condition of anonymity because of sensitivity of the issue. Tokyo responded by saying the islands are an integral part of Japan.

北京说东京对命名的企图是“非法而且无效的”，因为话题的敏感性，一位政府官员在匿名的情况下说道。东京回应说那些岛屿是日本的一部分。

Japan's Cabinet Office has said it will use the names for new maps, adding that the islets are within Japan's established exclusive economic zone and will not change any maritime boundaries.

日本的内阁办公室说他们会在新地图里用上这些名字，并补充说这些小岛在已确定的日本专属经济区里，并不会改变任何海域界线。

The islands are surrounded by rich fishing grounds and are regularly occupied by nationalists from both sides.

这些岛屿周围有大量渔场，并经常被两国的国家主义者占领。

Japan and China have often quarreled over the islands, the contested gas fields and lingering animosity over Japan's occupation of China in much of the first half of the 1900s.

日本和中国经常争吵，因为这些岛屿，因为有争议的天然气田，因为日本在上世纪前半部分对中国的占领而带来的、现在仍存在的敌意。

钓鱼岛是虚，东海是实。
中国驱逐舰，战斗机护航东海开发油田，留个钓鱼岛慢慢谈；日本貌似在钓鱼岛非常强硬，实则落入中国的陷阱。

世界上能生产太陆架上开采平台的国家没几个，中国是其中之一

中国开采的地方本来就是非争议地区。
日本说中国开采让所谓中间线另一面的油流到中国这面了。
中国从来就没有承认过那个中间线，看地图上那中间线，日本划得太霸道了。
