人口定时炸弹：日本人“濒危”的8个迹象

A doomsday clock counts down the seconds until extinction.
国家消亡的倒计时已经开始。

Over time, low, unchanging fertility rates (without additional immigration) could mean actual extinction for an entire country.
随着时间流逝，不变的低生育率（又没有移民流入）将意味着日本整个国家的消失。

In the short term, that could mean losing 34% of the country's population by 2100.
短期来看，这意味着日本人口将在2100年前减少34%。

Taking a longer view, Japanese researchers recently pinned down the expected date of extinction with a doomsday clock. The date, according to the latest fertility rates, is August 12, 3776.
长远来看，日本研究人员已经用末日钟算出了日本人灭绝的时间。根据最新的生育率来估算，日本灭绝的日期将是3776年8月12日。
