進入《中英對照讀新聞》From stars to Hello Kitty： all at new Tokyo terminal 從星星到凱蒂貓：東京新機場什麼都有
◎俞智敏
Fancy a look at the stars while waiting for your flight? How about a slot-car race, strolling through an old-time Japanese street, or shopping at a Hello Kitty store?
想在等候轉機時仰望星空嗎？還是想試試軌道賽車，或者在舊日的日本街頭漫步，還是在凱蒂貓專賣店裡血拚？
All will be on offer at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport from Oct. 31 as the airport resumes full-fledged international service for the first time in 32 years, when its role was usurped by the opening of Narita International Airport.
自10月31日起，這些願望在東京的羽田機場裡統統能辦得到，這是羽田機場32年來首度全面恢復國際機場服務，先前羽田機場的國際航班服務曾隨著成田機場的開幕而被取代。
The high-ceilinged, brand new international terminal -- built to complement the completion of the airport’s fourth runway, which will eventually increase capacity by more than 30 percent -- replaces a small utilitarian building with minimal facilities.
這座屋頂挑高、嶄新的國際航廈，是為了羽田機場的第四條跑道完工所興建，未來將使羽田機場運量增加30%，也取代了原本僅以實用為設計考量、設備也很陽春的小型建築物。
Haneda lost its crown as Tokyo’s international airport in 1978, when Narita opened, though a few international flights still operated.
羽田機場在1978年成田機場開幕時，喪失了東京國際機場的榮銜，但仍然保留了少數國際航線。
But with Japan’s government eager to promote Tokyo as a 24-hour international air hub to rival South Korea’s Incheon, Haneda was expanded and international flights relaunched.
但由於日本政府急於推動東京為24小時國際航空樞紐，以和南韓的仁川機場較勁，羽田機場獲得擴建，也重新開啟國際航線。
Narita’s operating hours are limited as part of a deal hammered out with local landowners in order to build the airport, which faced stiff opposition.
成田機場的營運時間受限，這是政府與當地地主簽約興建機場時的合約內容所規定，成田機場興建時曾遭到強烈反對。
