根据内阁会议周五批准的一项计划，德仁天皇和雅子皇后将于周二访问熊本县，探望在7月份强烈地震中受灾的民众。
Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako will visit Kumamoto Prefecture on Tuesday to meet with people affected by a powerful earthquake in July, according to a plan approved by the government at a Cabinet meeting Friday.
在为期一天的行程中，天皇夫妇将访问八代市、宇城市和冰川町等在7月28日地震中受灾严重的地区。
In their one-day trip, the imperial couple will visit areas in the cities of Yatsushiro and Uki and the town of Hikawa, which were hit hard by the July 28 quake.
据宫内厅透露，天皇和皇后将于周二上午搭乘从东京羽田机场起飞的专机抵达熊本机场。
According to the Imperial Household Agency, the emperor and the empress will arrive at Kumamoto Airport on a special flight from Tokyo’s Haneda Airport on Tuesday morning.
在听取了熊本县知事木村敬关于地震灾情的汇报后，他们计划于下午乘坐自卫队直升机飞往八代市。他们预计将与灾民及救援人员会面。
After receiving a briefing from Kumamoto Gov. Takashi Kimura on the earthquake damage, they are scheduled to fly to Yatsushiro aboard a Self-Defense Forces helicopter in the afternoon. They are expected to meet with people affected by the disaster and those involved in relief efforts.
随后，天皇和皇后将乘车前往冰川町和宇城市，考察灾区并与当地居民交流，之后搭乘专机返回东京。如遇恶劣天气，访问将推迟至周三进行。
The emperor and the empress will later travel by car to Hikawa and Uki, where they will inspect the areas hit by the disaster and interact with local residents before returning to Tokyo on a special flight.
据一名宫内厅官员透露，天皇和皇后此前曾表达过访问7月地震灾区并与当地居民会面的意愿，因为他们担心该县在2016年熊本地震后的重建工作仍在进行之际，又再次遭受了地震袭击。
The visit will be postponed to Wednesday in the event of inclement weather. The emperor and the empress had expressed their intention to visit the areas hit by the July quake and meet with local residents, concerned that the prefecture was hit by another earthquake while reconstruction efforts were under way after the 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes, according to an aide.
