    2013年10月27日即日本自卫队日当天，日本自卫队在东京北部的朝霞基地接受阅兵。2014年8月5日日本内阁通过了《防卫白皮书》，报告指出中国日益增加的领空和海事活动等一系列军事崛起的表现，并对此表示强烈担忧。但官方另外指出日本自卫预算不足，因此难以支撑首相安倍晋三制定的军事计划的花销。（资料来源ShizuoKambayashi/美联社）

TOKYO — China’s growing airspace and maritimeactivities have escalated tension in area waters, Japan’s Defense Ministry said in an annual report Tuesday, stressingthe need for its military to play a greater role both inside and outside thecountry.

        东京讯——周二，日本国防部在年度报告上说：“中国日益增加的领空和海事活动促使地区水域紧张情绪的加剧。”这一说法从另一角度着重强调了日本军队欲在国内外提高自身的军事影响力。

But there isgrowing concern that Japan’s defense budget may be insufficient toachieve the goals set by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to bolster the country’s military.

        然而令人越发担心的是，日本的自卫预算的不足，难以支撑首相安倍晋三制定的军事计划的所需费用。

The annualreport, released after Cabinet approval, says Japanis particularly concerned about China’s establishment of an air defenseidentification zone that includes disputed East China Seaislands that both countries claim. Japan scrambled jets in response toChinese military flights 400 times last year, up from about 300 a year earlier.

        这份年度报告在内阁通过后得到发表。报告称，中国把防空识别区建立在东海争议岛屿所在的区域，日本对此表示极为担忧。日本飞机紧急起飞应对中国军队的次数有所增加，具体表现就是从头一年的300次左右达到了去年的400次。

The zone is China’s attempt to“unilaterally change the status quo,escalate the situation and may cause unintended consequences in the East China Sea,” the reportsaid. “Japan is strongly concerned.”

        报告称日本目前十分担忧，因为中国试图单方面地改变东海争议地区的现状，使紧张局势加剧，还可能造成无法意料的后果。

The 429-pagewhite paper also said that North Koreahas improved long-range ballistic missile capability and miniaturization of nuclearwarheads, and could develop a sense of confidence over its strategic deterrenceagainst the U.S., leading toan “escalation of military provocations by North Korea inthe region.”

        这本429页的白皮书同时指出，朝鲜在远程弹道导弹和核武器小型化制造能力得到了提升，利用核威胁战略来对抗美国的信心得到了提升，与此同时这种做法也导致区域内军事挑衅的升级。

Japan’s defense budget grew 2.2 percent to4.8 trillion yen ($48 billion) for fiscal 2014 from the previous year — a second year of increase in a rowsince Abe took office, after more than a decade of decline to as low as 4.6trillion yen in 2012, down 6 percent from 2002.

       日本2014的军事防卫预算达到了4.8万亿日圆（约合480亿美元），相比去年增加了2.2%——这是安倍执政以来连续第二年军事预算出现增加。而此前军事预算从2002年到2012年间连续下降，10年内下降到了4.6万亿日圆，相比2002年下降了6%。

Abe’s Cabinet in July approved areinterpretation of Japan’s war-renouncing constitution to allowthe military to defend foreign countries and play a larger international role.Earlier, Japanadopted a new defense strategy in December, which calls for a 5 percentincrease in defense spending over the next five years.

       7月安倍内阁对日本《和平宪法》作出新的解释，允许军队保卫其他国家并提高自身在国际的军事地位。去年12月，日本采用了新的防卫策略，即在未来5年内军事防卫花费在现状基础上增加5%。

SomeJapanese media and experts have speculated that more money will be needed toachieve the more assertive military role, but Abe has ruled out any changes tothe five-year plan.

         部分日本媒体和专家推测，日本要增强自身的军事地位就需要更多资金的投入，但安培称将坚定不移执行该五年计划。

The2014-2019 defense program includes acquisition of surveillance drones,anti-missile destroyers and other equipment as Japan’s defense priority shifts from itsnorthern reaches to the East China Sea, where Tokyoand Beijing areembroiled in a territorial spat over the uninhabited islands. The purchaseswould cost 24.7 trillion yen ($247 billion), up 5 percent from the previousplan.

        鉴于防卫重心从日本北部以上地区转移到中日双方争议岛屿所在的东海地区，日本把无人侦察机、反导弹驱逐舰和其他设备的采购列入了2014至2019年防卫计划中。这项采购将花费24.7万亿日圆（2470亿美元），比上一计划上升5%。
