译语翻译分享-日本开始受理“疫苗护照”申请

日本政府26日开始受理“疫苗护照”申请，完成新冠疫苗接种者前往特定国家时可凭这一证明免除隔离。

The Japanese government began accepting applications for a "vaccine passport" on the 26th. Those who have completed the new crown vaccination can use this certificate to exempt them from isolation when they travel to specific countries.

日本政府说，截至21日，承认日本“疫苗护照”的国家包括意大利、奥地利、土耳其、保加利亚和波兰。此外，韩国认可日本“疫苗护照”作为免除隔离所需材料之一。日本正与其他国家协商，以扩大“疫苗护照”使用范围。

The Japanese government said that as of the 21st, countries that recognize Japan’s “vaccine passport” include Italy, Austria, Turkey, Bulgaria and Poland. In addition, South Korea recognizes the Japanese "vaccine passport" as one of the materials required for exemption from quarantine. Japan is negotiating with other countries to expand the scope of the "vaccine passport".

申请者可凭护照、疫苗接种券和申请表前往地方政府指定地点或以邮寄方式提出申请。

Applicants can present their passports, vaccination coupons and application forms to the designated locations of the local government or apply by mail.

现阶段，日本政府仅受理纸质申请书，发放纸质“疫苗护照”，今后有望引入电子版申请书和证明。

At this stage, the Japanese government only accepts paper applications and issues paper "vaccine passports." It is expected that electronic applications and certificates will be introduced in the future.

在东京都港区一处公共卫生中心，一些商界人士和外国居民26日上午前去申请办理“疫苗护照”。

At a public health center in Minato Ward, Tokyo, some business people and foreign residents went to apply for a "vaccine passport" on the morning of the 26th.

日本经济团体联合会（经团联）曾提议在国内也使用“疫苗护照”，以放宽大型活动人数限制。不过，这一建议因可能加重地方政府负担、使未接种人群遭歧视而未被采纳。

The Japan Federation of Economic Organizations (Kiduan Federation) once proposed to use "vaccine passports" in the country to relax restrictions on the number of people in large-scale events. However, this suggestion was not adopted because it might increase the burden on local governments and discriminate against people who have not been vaccinated.
