TOKYO – With the powerful mandate of the Japanese people, demonstrated by their overwhelming vote of support in our country’s December 14 election, my government’s ability to act decisively has been strengthened immeasurably. Indeed, we now not only have the authority to act, but a clear and definitive message from the electorate that we must do so.
东京&mdash;日本人民在12月14日的投票中一边倒地支持我的政府，他们的强大的授权极大地加强了我们采取果断行动的能力。事实上，我们现在不仅有了行动的权力，也准确无误地感到了选民要求我们必须这样做。
