Tues. 「（続）無能が無能を呼ぶ；MORI kept golfing after sub accident」 The Daily Yomiuri, Monday, Feb. 12, 2001 Yomiuri Shimbun Prime Minister Yoshiro MORI is likely to draw fresh criticism for continuing to play golf after receiving news of Saturday's collision between a Japanese boat and a U.S. Navy submarine in waters off Hawaii(ハワイ沖で), according to observers(立会人). At the time of the incident(「出来事」として、disaster, incident, eventの順に小さくなる；ジーニアス), the prime minister was playing golf with friends in Yokohama. Despite being informed at 10:15 a.m. of the accident between the Japanese fishing training boat Ehime Maru and the USS Greenville, Mori chose to stay at the golf course for some time. He did not arrive back at his official residence until 2:13 p.m.---four hours after the accident. "I thought to myself that there was no use rushing back (to the official residence) in a panic," Mori told reporters on Saturday night. According to observers, Mori's actions raise questions about his personal attitude towards the collision and the government's ability to respond to a crisis. 中略 KANZAKI objects handling Kyodo News One of Prime Minister Yoshiro MORI's coalition （連立）partner took issue Sunday with the fact Mori played golf after hearing of the U.S. submarine mishap（不運な事故）that left nine Japanese missing（日本人９名を行方不明にしたままの）. "I don't know how the prime minister first heard of it, but I think he should have stopped playing golf immediately and returned to his office," New Komeito Leader Takenori KANZAKI said on a Fuji TV program. 2月のカレンダーに戻る ----次の日を見る |
