美国海军陆战队员在冲绳被控谋杀，东京面临强烈抗议。特朗普的亲密盟友、日本首相高市早苗正面临加强监督驻日美军的压力。
Tokyo Faces Outcry After U.S. Marine is Accused of Murder in Okinawa Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, a close Trump ally, is under pressure to strengthen oversight of the U.S. military in Japan.
数日以来，冲绳县民众对一名当地女性死亡事件表达了愤怒，当局称该女性被一名美国海军陆战队员杀害。
For days, the people of Okinawa, a Japanese prefecture that hosts a large American military presence, have expressed outrage over the death a local woman, who the authorities say was killed by an American Marine.
周三，愤怒情绪蔓延至日本首相高市早苗的办公室。高市早苗是美国亲密盟友，一直寻求加速在冲绳的军事建设。
On Wednesday, the anger reached the doorstep of Japan’s prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, a close American ally who has sought to accelerate a military buildup in Okinawa.
冲绳县知事嘉手纳康久前往首都与高市早苗及其顾问会面。根据首相办公室发布的会议视频，嘉手纳告诉高市早苗，该女性（八重安安娜）的遇害“给县内居民带来了极大的不安，是绝对不可原谅的”。嘉手纳还对美军表示担忧，告诉高市早苗，美国加强冲绳人员纪律的努力“并未奏效”。高市早苗在会上重申，日本已向美国政府提出抗议。
Genta Koja, the prefecture’s governor, had traveled to the capital to meet Ms. Takaichi and her advisers. He told Ms. Takaichi that the killing of the woman, Anna Yagi, “has caused great anxiety among the prefecture’s residents and is absolutely unforgivable,” according to a video of the meeting posted by the Prime Minister’s office. Mr. Koja also expressed concern about the American military, telling Ms. Takaichi that efforts by the United States to strengthen discipline among personnel in Okinawa “are not working.”Ms. Takaichi reiterated at the meeting that Japan had lodged a protest with the American government.
她表示：“发生如此残酷和恶劣的事件，令人深感遗憾。”“我感到强烈的愤慨。”嘉手纳是高市早苗的盟友，上个月当选时承诺维护中央政府的国防政策。但近日，他面临来自冲绳民众的压力，要求他对东京和华盛顿做出有力回应。日本一直努力将冲绳打造为对抗中国军事侵略的堡垒，并与驻扎约3万名现役人员的美国协同行动。
“It is extremely regrettable that such a brutal and heinous incident has occurred,” she said. “I feel strong indignation.”Mr. Koja is an ally of Ms. Takaichi and won office last month promising to uphold the central government’s defense policies. But he has faced pressure from Okinawans in recent days to deliver a forceful response to Tokyo and Washington. Japan has worked to turn Okinawa into a bulwark in its efforts to counter Chinese military aggression, in concert with the United States, which has about 30,000 active-duty personnel stationed there.
