Jumping right in as always -- for the first time since World War II ended in 1945, the Japanese capital of Tokyo held a drill that simulated a missile attack. Part of the drill, as you see here, was staged in an amusement park. It took about 10 minutes from start to finish, instructions came out through text messages and a loud speaker, and people who volunteered to participate moved quickly and calmly to some designated safe areas, most of those were underground.

自1945年第二次世界大战结束以来，日本首都东京举行了一次导弹袭击模拟演习。正如你在这里看到的，部分演习是在一个游乐园举行的。从开始到结束，花了大约10分钟的时间，指令通过短信和一个响亮的喇叭发出，志愿者们迅速而平静地进入一些指定的安全区域，而这些安全区域大部分都是地下的。

Dozens of drills like this have been held across Japan in recent months. Like the U.S., Japan is a rival of North Korea, and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says that the missile threat from North Korea has made the security situation in Japan the toughest since World War II.

近几个月来，日本各地举行了数十次类似的演习。美国日本是朝鲜的对手，日本首相安倍晋三表示，朝鲜的导弹威胁是日本的安全局势成为二战以来最严重的。

Japan has been making large purchases of military equipment recently, mostly from the U.S. And critics are concerned that Japanese leaders might be working toward expanding the military beyond its role of self defense, and they accused the Japanese government of politicizing the threat from North Korea.

日本最近一直在大量购买军事装备，其中大部分来自美国，批评人士担心，日本领导人可能正在努力扩大军事力量，而非自卫。他们指责日本政府将来自朝鲜的威胁政治化。

Japanese government officials say the two intercontinental ballistic missiles that North Korea fired over Japan last year are reasons why emergency drills are needed.

日本政府官员表示，朝鲜去年向日本发射的两枚洲际弹道导弹是需要进行紧急演习的原因。
