Japan FM says Indiana Jones trivialises nuke threat 日本外相說印第安納瓊斯小覷核武威脅

Japan’s foreign minister has taken a swipe at the latest sequel of Steven Spielberg’s ’Indiana Jones’ blockbuster series for trivialising the devastation of a nuclear bomb blast. 日本外相批評史蒂芬．史匹柏的最新續集賣座電影「印第安納瓊斯」小覷核彈爆炸的毀滅力。 "There was a scene in a hit movie last year in which the famous hero, facing a blast from a nuclear test, hid in a refrigerator," Foreign Minister Hirofumi Nakasone said in a speech against nuclear weapons. 「去年某部賣座電影中有一幕是這樣的，那名知名的英雄人物遭遇核試爆炸時躲進冰箱裡」，外相中曾根弘文發表反核武演說時說。 "I was surprised by the movie’s lack of awareness of a nuclear bomb blast. A nuclear explosion destroys everything in an instant. I felt concern that this kind of easy-going image might spread around the world." 「我對這部電影缺乏對核彈爆炸的認識感到驚訝。核爆會立即摧毀一切。我對這種隨便的畫面可能遍及全球感到憂慮。」 The minister did not identify the movie, but a foreign ministry official confirmed that it was "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," the fourth in the hit series directed by Spielberg. 中曾根並未指名是哪部電影，但一名外務省官員證實，中曾根所指的就是史匹柏執導的賣座系列電影中的第四部，「印第安納瓊斯：水晶骷髏王國」。 Two US atomic bombs dropped on Japan’s Hiroshima and Nagasaki cities in August 1945 killed more than 210,000 people, instantly or in the following weeks. Japan surrendered less than a week later, ending World War II. 1945年8月，美國對日本廣島與長崎投擲2枚原子彈，導致超過21萬人立即或在稍後數週死亡。日本在不到一週後投降，第二次世界大戰就此結束。 新聞辭典 nuke：俚語，指核子設施、核子武器、核電廠。 take a swipe at someone or something ：俚語，攻擊某人或某物；試圖去做。 blockbuster：名詞，廣受歡迎的暢銷電影或書籍。例句："Ghostbusters" was such a big blockbuster.（電影「魔鬼剋星」當年可真是紅極一時。）
