「双语」例行记者会/RegularPressConference（2021-5-24）(20)

东京电力公司出现类似的情况已经不是一次两次了，篡改数据、隐瞒风险似乎是他们的第一选择，总是要等到被曝光、实在瞒不住了才勉强承认，而无论结果多么令人震惊，都简单归咎于“疏忽大意”，把灾难性的后果留给无辜的民众。
Zhao Lijian: This is not the first or second time that a similar incident has occurred with TEPCO. Its preferred choice always seems to be altering data and concealing risks. As usual, it only admits to the truth when everything has been exposed and a hush-up is no longer possible. And no matter how shocking the findings are, it just attributes all to a sweeping pretext of "negligence" while leaving the disastrous consequences to the innocent public.
由这样一家公司承担福岛核事故处置这一事关全球生态环境和人类健康的大事，不得不让人感到担忧。更让国际社会不安的是日本政府的态度。日方不但不及时纠错止损，反而容忍此类恶劣事件一再发生，如今错上加错，不顾国内外质疑和反对，在未穷尽安全处置手段、未全面公开相关信息、未与周边国家和国际社会充分协商的情况下，单方面决定将福岛核污染水排入海洋，这极不负责任。
It is deeply distressing to have such a company handle something that bears on global ecology and human health. Even more unsettling is the attitude of the Japanese government. Instead of redressing the mistake and preventing further damage, it allowed such egregious incidents to happen time and again and to make things worse, it made the highly irresponsible unilateral decision to discharge nuclear contaminated water from Fukushima into the sea in disregard of doubts and objection at home and abroad and without exhausting safe disposal means, disclosing all relevant information, or fully consulting with neighboring countries and the international community.
