A letter threatening to hunt Koreans and containing what appeared to be a bullet has been sent to the South Korean Embassy in Japan, police said Tuesday, amid worsening ties between the Asian neighbors
警方周二表示，韩国驻日本大使馆收到一封威胁要追杀韩国人的信，信中似乎含有一颗子弹。此时正值这两个亚洲邻国之间关系愈发恶化之际。
Relations between the two countries have been overshadowed by Japan’s 1910-1945 colonisation of the Korean peninsula, and recently a dispute over Korean wartime laborers spilled into trade and then into security when South Korea scrapped an intelligence sharing pact last month.
日本1910年至1945年间对朝鲜半岛的殖民统治，以及韩国上个月撕毁一项情报共享协议，导致最近围绕日本战时在韩国强征劳工的争端蔓延至贸易和安全领域，给两国关系蒙上了阴影。
“I’ve got a rifle and I’m hunting Koreans,” said the letter that was delivered to the South Korean Embassy in Tokyo last week.
上周寄给韩国驻东京大使馆的这份信中写道：“我有一支步枪，我正在追杀韩国人”。
It contained what appeared to be a bullet, the news agency said, adding that police were investigating.
媒体报道称，信中带有一枚像是子弹的东西，警方正在对此进行调查。
Police declined to comment.
警方不予置评。
A member of staff at the embassy confirmed that the letter had been delivered but declined to give any details.
大使馆的一名工作人员证实收到了这样的信，但拒绝透露任何细节。
The tension between the two countries has spilled over into travel and culture, with a Japanese airline announcing last week it would halt some flights to South Korea.
两国之间的紧张局势已蔓延至旅游和文化领域，一家日本航空公司上周宣布，将暂停部分飞往韩国的航班。
Publishers of Japan’s weekly Shukan Post tabloid apologized on Monday after their Sept. 13 edition, which carried a special report titled “We Don’t Need Korea,” sparked widespread outrage and accusations of hate speech.
日本的《邮报周刊》9月13日刊登了一篇名为《我们不需要韩国》的特别报道，引发了广泛的愤怒和对仇恨言论的指责。
Though many Twitter users denounced the magazine with comments such as “We Don’t Need Shukan Post,” others defended it, saying South Koreans and their supporters were being too sensitive.
尽管许多推特用户谴责该杂志，并发表了诸如“我们不需要《邮报周刊》”之类的评论，但也有人为其辩护，称韩国人和他们的支持者太过敏感。
