TOKYO – Japan's ruling party conceded a crushing defeat Sunday after 54 years
 of nearly unbroken rule as voters were poised to hand the opposition a
 landslide victory in nationwide elections, driven by economic anxiety and a
 powerful desire for change.

東京報導------由於強烈的改變欲望以及對於經濟的恐慌,日本的執政黨在幾乎不間斷的統
治日本54年之後,於週六的大選中被壓倒性的擊敗

The left-of-center Democratic Party of Japan was set to win 300 or more of
 the 480 seats in the lower house of parliament, ousting the Liberal Democrats
, who have governed Japan for all but 11 months since 1955, according to exit
 polls by all major Japanese TV networks.

根據日本主要的電視計票網路,在下議院總共四百八十個席次中,日本民主黨得到了三百
或是更多的席次奪取了自民黨,這個從一九五五年以來,只有十一個月沒有統治日本的政黨

"These results are very severe," Prime Minister Taro Aso said in a news
 conference at party headquarters, conceding his party was headed for a big
 loss. "There has been a deep dissatisfaction with our party."

日本首相Taro Aso在舉行於黨中央的記者會上表示,”這個結果十分嚴重,人民對於我
們的政黨已經產生了極大的不滿”.

Aso said he would have to accept responsibility for the results, suggesting
 that he would resign as party president. Other LDP leaders also said they
 would step down, though official results were not to be released until early
 Monday morning.


他又表示,他暗示會以辭掉黨魁的身份為這次選舉的結果負責,其他的自民黨大老也表示
他們會辭職,雖然官方的正式統計結果在週一才會出爐.

The loss by the Liberal Democrats — traditionally a pro-business,
 conservative party — would open the way for the Democratic Party, headed by
Yukio Hatoyama, to replace Aso and establish a new Cabinet, possibly within
 the next few weeks.


自民黨,傳統上的保守黨,將會讓位給由Yukio Hatoyama領導的日本民主黨,
 Yukio Hatoyama將取代Aso並且組織內閣.

The vote was seen as a barometer of frustrations over Japan's worst economic
 slump since World War II and a loss of confidence in the ruling
 Liberal Democrats' ability to tackle tough problems such as the rising
 national debt and rapidly aging population.


此投票結果被視為一個對於日本面臨自二戰以來最大的經濟衰退的反應,以及執政黨對於
高升的國債以及快速老化的人口等等危機的處理能力的信心的喪失

The Democrats have embraced a more populist platform, promising handouts for
 families with children and farmers, a higher minimum wage, and to rebuild
 the economy.


民主黨打出集產主義牌,保證更多給予家庭,小孩,以及農人的援助,更高的最低工資,還有
重建經融系統

"The nation is very angry with the ruling party, and we are grateful for
their deep support," Hatoyama said after the polls closed. "We will not be
arrogant and we will listen to the people."


Hatoyama在投票結束後表示”人民對於執政黨感到憤怒,我們很感謝他們的支持,我們並
不會變得自大,並且會聆聽民眾的需求”

The Democrats have also said they will seek a more independent relationship
with Washington, while forging closer ties with Japan's Asian neighbors,
 including China. But Hatoyama, who holds a doctorate in engineering from
 Stanford University, insists he will not seek dramatic change in Japan's
foreign policy, saying the U.S.-Japan alliance would "continue to be the
 cornerstone of Japanese diplomatic policy."


民主黨也表示,他們將會疏遠與美國的關係,並拉近與亞洲特別是中國的關係,但是
Hatoyama,在Stanford University 的工程學博士,堅持他並不會大幅改變日本的外交政策
,,還說美日聯盟依然會是日本外交的基石.

National broadcaster NHK, using projections based on exit polls of roughly
 400,000 voters, said the Democratic Party was set to win 300 seats and the
 Liberal Democrats only about 100 — a third of its strength before the
 vote.

國家廣播電台NHK 根據大約四十萬的投票人使用投影,並且表示,民主黨大約贏得
三百席次,自民黨則有大約一百席次,只有在選前的三分之一.

TV Asahi, another major network, said the Democratic Party would win 315
seats, up from the 112 seats it held before parliament was dissolved in July.


TV Asahi另外一個主要的電視台,表示民主黨將獲得三百一十五個席次,在七月,議會解
散前,他只有一百一十二個席次.

As voting closed Sunday night, officials said turnout was high, despite an
 approaching typhoon, indicating the intense level of public interest in the
 hotly contested campaigns.


隨著週日晚上投票停止,官方表示群眾很關心此事件,儘管有一個颱風即將侵襲,這表示群
眾非常關注此白熱化的選戰,

Even before the vote was over, the Democrats pounded the ruling party for
 driving the country into a ditch.


剩至在投票結束之前,民主黨攻擊執政黨,表示執政黨將整個國家脫入深淵之中.

Japan's unemployment has spiked to record 5.7 percent while deflation has
 intensified and families have cut spending because they are insecure about
 the future.


隨著通貨緊縮日益嚴重,日本的失業率已經到了最高的五點七個百分比,大部分的家庭都
因為對未來的不安而減小開支

Making the situation more dire is Japan's aging demographic — which means
 more people are on pensions and there is a shrinking pool of taxpayers to
 support them and other government programs.


使情況更為嚴重的是日本的人口老化,人口老化表示著更多的人靠著退休金過活,而且
稅收越來越少,使得政府無從施政

Many voters said that although the Democrats are largely untested in power
 and doubts remain about whether they will be able to deliver on their
 promises, the country needs a change.


許多投票者表示,雖然民主黨尚未通過關於能力的以及關於他們是否可以實現政見的懷
疑的考驗,日本需要改變！

"We don't know if the Democrats can really make a difference, but we want to
 give them a chance," Junko Shinoda, 59, a government employee, said after
 voting at a crowded polling center in downtown Tokyo.


Junko Shinoda一位五十九歲的公務員在東京擁擠的鬧區投完票後,表示”我們不確定民
主黨是否有能力改變,但是我們想給他們一個機會去嘗試”

The Democratic Party would only need to win a simple majority of 241 seats in
 the lower house to assure that it can name the next prime minister. The
 300-plus level would allow it and its two smaller allies the two-thirds
 majority they need in the lower house to pass bills.


在下議院,民主黨之需簡單的兩百一十四席次,就可以保證他們可以成為下任首相.他們超
過三百席次的優勢將使他們以及他們兩個小同盟有能力通過任何他們想要的法案.

Having the Democrats in power would smooth policy debates in parliament,
 which has been deadlocked since the Democrats and their allies took over the
less powerful upper house in 2007.


民主黨獲得的權力將會使關於政策的爭吵減緩,而且他們的同盟也在二零零七年佔領了
上議院.

To ease parenting costs and encourage more women to have babies, the
 Democrats propose giving families 26,000 yen ($275) a month per child
 through junior high. Japan's population of 127.6 millionpeaked in 2006, and
 is expected to decline to 115 million in 2030 and fall below 100 million by
 the middle of the century.


為了減低養小孩的花費以及鼓勵生育,民主黨供給每位兒童一個月兩萬六千日圓
（兩百七十五美元）直到他們上國中.日本人口最高約在二零零六年的一百二十七點六百
萬,並且被預測在二零三零年時將會減少到一百一十五百萬並且低於一百百萬在二零五零
年之前.

The party is also proposing toll-free highways, free high schools, income
 support for farmers, monthly allowances for job seekers in training, a higher
 minimum wage and tax cuts. The estimated bill comes to 16.8 trillion yen
 ($179 billion) if fully implemented starting in fiscal year 2013 — and
 critics say the plans would further bloat Japan's massive public debt.


民主黨還提出了免費高速公路,免費高中,給農人的補助,對於正在受訓中的找工作者提供
每月的零用金,更高的最低所得,以及減稅.這估計將會花費一百六十八億日圓
（一百七十九百萬美元）,而且如果政策在二零一三年完成,然而批評家表示,這將會更進
一步的讓日本陷入債務困境之中

The Democrats will likely face resistance from Japan's powerful bureaucrats,
 who favor the status quo and hold a great deal of influence in shaping policy.


民主黨很可能會面臨日本強力的有能力影響政策的官僚體系的抵抗

Aso — whose own support ratings have sagged to a dismal 20 percent —
 repeatedly stressed his party led Japan's rise from the ashes of World War II
 into one of the world's biggest economic powers and are best equipped to get
 it out of its current morass.


Aso支持率跌到了驚人的二十百分點重複地表示他部份的引領日本走出二戰陰霾,成為
世界經濟強權之一,而且已經有經日本從泥淖中帶出的萬全準備

In the end, voter worries about the economy and disenchantment with the LDP's
 long grip on power proved too much to overcome.


最後,選民擔心經濟以及日本的恢復,因為自民黨長期把持朝政

"It's revolutionary," said Tomoaki Iwai, a political science professor at
 Tokyo's Nihon University. "It's the first real change of government" Japan
has had in six decades.


Tomoaki Iwa,一位東京大學的政治系教授表示”這是革命性的這是日本六十年以來第一次
的真改變”
