富士山60年來首次封山

The climbing season for Mount Fuji, Japan's highest peak, is cancelled for this year, after local officials announced on Monday that the mountain trails leading up to the summit will stay closed throughout the summer due to the novel coronavirus.
日本官員18日表示，受新冠肺炎疫情影響，今年整個夏季，通往日本最高山峯富士山的所有登山步道將一直保持封閉，意味着今年登山季富士山將封山。

Shizuoka Prefecture, which manages three of the four trails that lead to the peak, made the announcement following a similar announcement made by a neighboring prefecture that manages the fourth trail.
通向富士山山頂的登山步道共四條，管理其中三條步道的靜岡縣18日宣佈了關閉境內通道的決定，此前，管理第四條步道的另一個相臨的縣也已宣佈決定關閉其境內通道。

It will be the first time the trails of the 3,776-meter volcanic mountain are closed since 1960.
這是自上世紀六十年代以來，這座高3776米的火山首次關閉其所有登山步道。

Some 236,000 people climbed the mountain last year, according to the Environment Ministry.
