Godzilla has stomped so many buildings in Japan that the irradiated monster was appointed special resident and tourism ambassador for Tokyo’s Shinjuku ward.

哥吉拉已踐踏過日本許多大樓，以至於這隻輻射怪獸被任命為東京新宿區特別居民與觀光大使。

A Godzilla-size head towering 52-meters above ground level was unveiled Thursday at an office of Toho, the Japanese studio behind the 1954 original. Toho is shooting a comeback film this year after a decade-long hiatus.

一個離地面52公尺高、等尺寸的哥吉拉頭部模型週四在東寶大樓揭幕，東寶電影公司是1954年原版哥吉拉的催生者。在十多年的斷層後，今年東寶正在攝製哥吉拉復出電影。

Japan is hoping the biggest star in this nation’s movie history will help lure tourists during a market-opening strategy launched by the prime minister.

Shinjuku, known for its down-home bars and noodle restaurants, has not been spared, flattened in three Toho movies. If Godzilla chooses to return, it can now stomp on its own giant head.

以純樸酒吧與麵店聞名的新宿，也沒有倖免於難，在三部東寶電影中被夷平。如果哥吉拉選擇回來，那他可能要踩在自己的大頭上。
