Meanwhile, Japan’s economy seems to be recovering from a generation of malaise, with this year’s annualized growth rate exceeding 3%. Moreover, following the triple shock of the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear catastrophe in 2011, Japan has managed (at considerable cost) to replace the 25% of its energy supply that the disabled reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant provided.
此外，日本经济似有从一代人的萎靡不振中复苏的迹象，今年的年增长率超过3%。不仅如此，在经过2011年地震、海啸及核灾难的三重打击之后，日本（付出极大代价）成功取代了曾由福岛第一核电站报废反应堆提供的25%的能源供应。东京将举办2020年奥运会的宣告也提振了公众信心。
