核废水要排进太平洋，日本真敢想！丨小象漫评

日本核污水治理不好

就要往太平洋里倒

这是谁出的损招？

The Japanese government plans to

release millions of tons of radioactive,

nuclear-contaminated waste water 

into the Pacific Ocean.

日本政府宣称污水达标

但就他们那千疮百孔的信誉

谁敢相信他们？

不能拿自己的安全开玩笑

How dare they? Although they claim 

the water will be treated and made safe 

before disposal, scientists concede 

they are unsure about its long-term impact. 

Besides, they are not paragons of 

trustworthiness, are they? 

日本自己导致的核污染

却治理得如此稀烂

根子还在十年前

The problem is rooted in the

2011 earthquake, which triggered 

a tsunami that damaged 

the nuclear plant in Fukushima.

治理核污染需要花钱

日本政府却一直不舍得往里填

Getting rid of the waste is an 

expensive affair, 

but the Japanese government 

is working on a very tight budget;

治理核污染需要壮士断腕

日本政府却是优柔寡断

Besides, it also takes courage, 

something they surely lack;

有一天没一天地干

治理进度怎么能不缓慢？

That’s how the problem 

has grown to today’s size.

眼看治理无望

干脆眼睛都闭上

Because the Japanese government 

turned a blind eye,

拍屁股走人

甩锅大王直呼内行

and shrugged off its responsibilities.

日本政府神操作

首先会污染全人类的海洋

无数海洋生物就此遭殃

The first victims of this move

could be marine life, which will be

exposed to radioactivity;

其次还会引起巨大的恐慌

买个东西都得问问

辐射是不是超量？

Surely, people will no longer feel safe

buying Japanese seafood products.

不信任又会反过来影响世界经济

The lack of trust will in turn 

hit the global economy,

日本自己首当其冲

会第一个受打击

Japan itself can’t avoid 

the economic impact.

更别说日本政府的形象

The Japanese government’s image, too, 

will take a beating

一定会一落千丈

with no one trusting them any more.

10年前日本遭遇地震

全世界都献了爱心

Ten years ago, the whole world 

stood by Japan during the

earthquake and its aftermath;

今天的日本政府有必要认真治污

别辜负了全世界的信任

It is time Japan decided

against dumping the nuclear waste

for the world’s good.
