３０日の戦争法案反対デモも、BBCは動画を含んだニュースを報道してくれましたが、前回と重複した内容があったので、今日は、Bloomberg Businessからの記事を翻訳したいと思います。英語がわかると、世界中でどのようなニュースが報道されているのかが一目でわかるので、日本のニュースだけにとらわれて狭い価値観で物事を見ることがなくなります。自分で世界のニュースが理解できるようになるので、知識や見識が広まります。

Thousands Rally in Tokyo Rain to Protest Abe’s Defense-Law Plans
（和訳開始）
雨の東京で安倍の戦争法案に抗議する大規模な反対集会
日曜の東京に何千人もの人々（主催者側発表では12万人、警察発表では３万人）が集まりました。安倍晋三首相が押し進めようとしている中国との領土問題において自衛隊の力を増強させることに反対するためです。
小雨の中、抗議者たちは、「戦争法案反対！」や「戦争反対、法案廃案！」などと書かれたプラカードをもって国会議事堂の前に立ちました。川崎市からやってきた後藤よう子さん（７２歳）は、「今日の行動で潮目が変わってほしいです。」と語りました。
抗議者の一つのグループは、ソーシャル・メディアで３０万人の人に国会議事堂の外でデモを呼びかけました。安倍の与党連合が９月２７日までに日本の自衛隊が他国を守るために戦闘可能となる法案を可決しようとしているからです。警視庁の報道官は、抗議に集まった予測人数を発表する計画はないと語りました。共同ニュースは、約１２万人が集まったと報道しました。
国内の法案反対者は、安倍内閣の支持率を弱体化させました。最近のメディアの調査によると、不支持率が支持率を上回ったより多くの人々が語っています。株価の急落も安倍の経済政策に新たな疑問を投げかけました。それにもかかわらず、野党の分裂と適切な代替候補者がいないことで、来月の自民党総裁選挙で、安倍があと３年間与党自民党総裁の座を手に入れることはほぼ確実です。
第二次世界大戦後、米国によって起草され、６８年間変わらなかった平和憲法の下では、日本は戦争で戦う権利を放棄し、自衛隊は第二次大戦以降、戦闘で一人も人を殺しませんでした。安倍の法案は、彼の２０１４年の憲法の再解釈を実施しようとしています。その解釈の変更によって、日本がイラク戦争のような米国率いる戦争に巻き込まれたり、国をテロリストの攻撃の危険にさらす可能性が生まれることを抗議者たちは恐れているのです。
米国の支援
提案された法案は、米国からは歓迎されています。というのも、アジアの最も大きな同盟国である日本が、その地域で影響力を高めている中国との調和をとるのを助けるためです。領土問題や歴史の認識において、日本と対立している中国や韓国を除くアジアのその他の政府も支援的です。
衆議院ではすでに法案は可決しており、現在は、力の弱い参議院で審議されています。もし、参議院が６０日以内に議決に至らなかった場合は、衆議院が２/３以上の多数決で再度法案を可決、制定できる。
２０１１年福島事故後の大規模な一般市民による原発反対デモは、今月、日本の原子炉の再開を阻止するのに失敗した。安倍の祖父、岸信介は、元首相で、１９６０年に彼が日米安全保障条約に同意したことによって、それに反対する暴力的な抗議に直面したが、条約は、彼が辞任する前に承認を得た。

英語原文：
Thousands gathered in Tokyo on Sunday to oppose Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s push to expand the powers of Japan’s military amid a territorial dispute with China.さてさて、皆さまも英語の記事を和訳してみませんか。
Amid light rain protesters stood in front of the Diet building with placards reading “Reject the War Bill Now!” and “We’re Against War, Kill the Bill!” Yoko Goto, a retired 72-year-old who traveled from nearby Kawasaki City, said: “I hope today’s actions mark a sea change.”
One group of protesters had called on social media for 300,000 people to demonstrate outside parliament as Abe’s ruling coalition seeks to pass two bills by Sept. 27 that would allow Japan’s forces to fight to defend other countries. A Tokyo Metropolitan Police spokesman said there’s no plan to provide an estimate of the number of protesters at the rally. Around 120,000 people took part, the Kyodo News agency reported.
Domestic opposition to the legislation has undermined Abe’s voter support, with more people saying they disapprove than approve of his government in recent media surveys. A steep decline in stock prices has cast fresh doubt on the effectiveness of his economic policies. Nonetheless, a splintered opposition and a lack of alternative candidates means he is almost certain to be handed another three years as leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party in an internal leadership vote next month.
Under a pacifist constitution drafted by the U.S. after World War II and unchanged for 68 years, Japan renounced the right to wage war, and what it calls its Self-Defense Forces have not killed a single person in battle since then. Abe’s legislation puts into practice his 2014 reinterpretation of the constitution, a change opponents fear could allow Japan to become entangled in U.S.-led wars like those in Iraq and put the country in danger of terrorist attacks.
U.S. Support
The proposed bills have been welcomed by the U.S., which wants support from its biggest Asian ally to help balance China’s growing assertiveness in the region. Other governments in Asia are also largely supportive, apart from China and South Korea, which are at loggerheads with Japan over territorial disputes and interpretations of history.
Parliament’s lower house has already passed the bills, which are now being debated in the less powerful upper house. If the upper house fails to pass them within 60 days, the lower house can enact them by passing them a second time, with a two thirds majority.
Massive public demonstrations against nuclear power after the 2011 Fukushima disaster failed to deter Japan from re-starting a reactor this month. Abe’s grandfather Nobusuke Kishi, a former prime minister, faced violent protests against the security treaty he agreed with the U.S. in 1960, but the treaty was approved before he stepped down.
