Yoshida’s rule came to an end in 1954 when he was unseated as prime minister by his nemesis, Ichiro Hatoyama. 1954年日本首相吉田茂被强硬对手鸠山一郎赶下台。“nemesis”是“主要敌人(an archenemy),强硬对手(an opponent that cannot be beaten or overcome)”。
吉田茂(Shigeru Yoshida)是日本现任首相麻生太郎的外祖父。据预测,麻生领导的自民党去日无多,在8月30日即将举行的大选中会败给在野的民主党,结束54年日本政坛的统治生涯。鸠山一郎(Ichiro Hatoyama)是自民党首位党魁,他的孙子鸠山由纪夫为现任民主党党魁。(From The Economist, July 16, 2009: End of the line for the LDP)
