中国增派海警船巡视钓鱼岛海域

 　　China's top oceanic agency announced that two more Coast Guard ships are patrolling the waters near the Diaoyu Islands.

　　中国国家海洋局近日宣布，两艘加派的海警船正在巡视钓鱼岛附近海域。

　　Analysts¹ said the patrols are a routine measure to demonstrate China's sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands, as ties between China and Japan have been further deteriorating² in the past months due to Japan's meddling³ in the South China Sea disputes.

　　分析人士表示，在该海域巡逻是常规行为，目的是证明中国对钓鱼岛拥有主权，因为在过去的几个月里由于日本方面干涉南海争端问题，中日两国关系已进一步恶化。

　　"It's normal for China to send Coast Guard vessels⁴ to the Diaoyu area to safeguard China's fishing boats, as the Diaoyu Islands are an inherent part of Chinese territory," Lü Yaodong, director of the Institute of Japanese Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times.

　　中国社科院日本研究所所长吕耀东接受《环球时报》采访时表示：“对于中国来说，派遣海警船到钓鱼岛海域附近保护中国渔船是一件非常正常的事，因为钓鱼岛是中国的固有领土。”

　　230 Chinese fishing boats and seven China Coast Guard vessels were spotted⁵ near the Diaoyu Islands, according to Kyodo News. Some of the vessels appeared to be equipped with guns, Kyodo News cited the Japan Coast Guard as saying.

　　据日本共同社报道，在钓鱼岛海域附近已经发现了230艘中国渔船和7艘中国海警船。共同社援引日本海岸警卫队的话称，其中一些船只似乎装备有枪炮。

　　China has sent Coast Guard vessels to patrol the disputed area at least 20 times this year, according to the State Oceanic Administration's website. But experts say it's rare that hundreds of fishing boats would sail through the area at the same time.

　　据国家海洋局网站上的信息显示，中国今年已经至少20次派出海警船到该争议海域巡逻。但是有专家表示，数百艘渔船在同一时间驶过该海域的确很少见。

　　Zhou Yongsheng, a professor at the Institute of International Relations of China Foreign Affairs University, said the act was meant to demonstrate China's sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands and adjacent waters.

　　中国外交学院国际关系研究所教授周永生表示，这一行动的目的是为了证明中国对钓鱼岛及其附近海域拥有主权。

　　From Friday to Sunday, Japan lodged⁶ multiple protests to the Chinese Embassy in Japan as well as China's foreign ministry⁷ against the Chinese Coast Guard vessels' "intrusion," urging them to leave the waters immediately, according to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan.

　　据日本外交部网站显示，从周五到周日，日本向中国驻日大使和中国外交部提出了多起抗议，抗议中国海警船的“入侵”，敦促他们立即离开该海域。

　　Responding to Japan's protests, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said in a statement that "the Chinese side is working to properly manage the situation in the relevant waters."为回应日本的抗议，中国外交部发言人华春莹在一份声明中指出：“中方正在妥善管理相关海域的情况”。

　　"We strongly hope that the Japanese side will honor its principled agreement with us, and deal with the current situation with a cool head instead of taking actions that may raise tensions or complicate⁸ things," she said.

　　华春莹表示：“我们强烈希望日方恪守和中国的原则协议，在处理目前局势的时候保持冷静的头脑，而不是采取有可能使得局势紧张和事件复杂化的行动。”
