据媒体周二报道，今年德国收到了超过12,000份以良心为由申请拒服兵役的材料，这一数字是2025年全年申请总量的三倍有余。
Germany has received more than 12,000 applications from those seeking to refuse military service on grounds of conscience this year, exceeding triple the total in all of 2025, media reported Tuesday.
据德国编辑网络（RND）报道，这些申请人中既有预备役人员、现役军人，也有年轻男性；尽管德国目前仍暂停实施征兵制。
The RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland (RND) newspaper group reported that the applicants include reservists, active-duty soldiers and young men -- even though military conscription in Germany remains suspended.
德国联邦家庭事务与民间社会职能局（BAFzA）的一位发言人称，2026年前八个月该机构共收到12,102份出于良心拒服兵役的申请，而2025年和2024年的申请量分别仅为3,879份和2,249份。官方认为申请量激增的原因在于德国新出台的兵役法、国际安全形势的恶化以及欧洲爆发军事冲突的担忧。
A spokeswoman for the Federal Office for Family Affairs and Civil Society Functions (BAFzA) said the agencyed 12,102 conscientious objector applications in the first eight months of 2026, up from 3,879 in 2025 and 2,249 in 2024. Officials attribute the surge to Germany's new military service law, deteriorating international security conditions and fears of military conflict in Europe.
2026年初生效的新法规定，所有年满18岁的男性都必须填写一份问卷，以评估其身体状况、技能以及参军意愿。
Under the new law, which took effect at the start of 2026, all men turning 18 are required to complete a questionnaire assessing their fitness, skills and interest in joining the armed forces.
虽然目前服兵役仍属自愿性质，但批评者指出，政府意在以发放问卷为开端，逐步重新推行征兵制。
While military service remains voluntary, critics say the government aims to reintroduce conscription in stages, beginning with questionnaires.
2008年及以后出生的男性必须接受体检，但由于相关资源有限，这一措施目前仍在逐步推行中。
Medical screening is mandatory for men born in 2008 or later, but limited capacity means it is being phased in.
根据德国宪法第四条，公民拥有出于良心拒绝服兵役的受保护权利。申请者必须向德国联邦国防军人事管理局提交书面申请及详细的个人陈述，该局随后会将申请转交至联邦家庭事务与民间社会职能局审核。
Under Article 4 of the Constitution, citizens hold a protected right to refuse armed military service for reasons of conscience. Objectors must submit a written application and a detailed personal statement to the Federal Office for Bundeswehr Personnel Management, which forwards the request to BAFzA for review.
目前德国联邦国防军约有186,400名现役军人。为履行对北约的义务并应对欧洲日益严峻的安全威胁，德国国防部计划到2035年将军队规模扩充至26万人以上。
The Bundeswehr counts roughly 186,400 active troops. To meet NATO commitments and respond to heightened security risks in Europe, the Defense Ministry aims to expand the force to more than 260,000 personnel by 2035.
要实现这一目标，每年需招募2万名新兵。军事分析人士指出，若仅靠自愿参军难以达成此目标，强制征兵制恐将难以避免。
Reaching that target will require 20,000 recruits annually -- a goal defense analysts said will be difficult to achieve without mandatory service if voluntary enrollment falters.
