Japan's Prime Minister Naoto Kan has called for his country to develop into a nuclear-free society, amid rising public anger at the continuing crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. 鉴于近日逐渐高涨的公众对于福岛危机的愤怒，日本首相菅直人近日宣布日本将逐步过渡到一个不依赖核能的社会。 In a televised news conference, Mr Kan said the country should harness renewable energy sources. 在一个电视会议中，菅直人强调日本应该掌握可再生能源的技术。 The 11 March earthquake and tsunami wrecked the Fukushima plant, which continues to leak radioactive material. 在三月十一号的地震和海啸中，日本的福岛核设施受到损毁，这些和设施至今仍然在泄露放射污染。 A large section of public opinion has turned against nuclear power. 这次污染直接导致大量的公众意见抵制核能。 About 30% of Japan's electricity was nuclear generated before the Fukushima crisis, and the country had targeted raising that figure to 53% by 2030. 在福岛危机之前大约有30%的日本电力来源于核电站，而日本也致力于建设核电站，期望在2030年将53%的电力来源定位于核电站。 But Mr Kan had already said this commitment should be scrapped. 而在近日菅直人已经表示这个目标必须被改变。 On Wednesday, he went a step further, saying: "We will aim at realising a society which can exist without nuclear power." |
