日本纪念广岛原子弹爆炸71周年

日本举行仪式纪念广岛原子弹爆炸71周年。约5万人在离爆炸震中最近的广岛和平纪念公园参加了此次纪念仪式。日本首相安倍再次呼吁建立没有核武器的世界。

Japan has marked the seventy-first anniversary of the atomic bombing on the city of Hiroshima.

Around 50,000 people gathered for the ceremony at Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park, near the epicenter of the blast. Japan's prime minister Shinzo Abe called once again for a world without nuclear weapons.

The United States dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima towards the end of World War Two, after the Japanese Imperialist government refused to surrender to Allied forces. The nuclear attack, the first of its kind in human history, killed 140,000 people. Three days later another atomic bombing on Nagasaki claimed more than 70,000 lives.
