安倍創連續執政新紀錄

Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Monday set a new record for the longest consecutive term in office but faced growing speculation about his health as he returned to hospital.

8月24日，日本首相安倍晉三創下日本首相最長連續執政紀錄，但卻因再次前往醫院引發了關於其健康狀況的越來越多的猜測。

Abe, 65, spent more than seven hours at a Tokyo hospital last week during a previously unannounced medical check-up that his aides insisted was routine.

上週，65歲的安倍在東京一家醫院待了7個多小時，其助手堅稱他只是接受常規體檢，但這次體檢事先並未對外公佈。

Local media cited sources as saying Abe's return visit Monday was to receive the results of that check-up, but no further information was provided.

當地媒體引用知情人士的話稱，安倍此次返回醫院是爲了聽取上週檢查結果，但沒有透露更多細節。

As of Monday, Abe has been in power for 2,799 uninterrupted days, breaking the record previously set by his great uncle Eisaku Sato.

截至8月24日，安倍已經連續在位2799天，打破了其外叔祖父佐藤榮作此前創下的紀錄。
