16,000 people evacuate as dud is disposed of in western Tokyo About 16,000 people in Chofu, western Tokyo, are evacuated while a bomb believed to have been dropped by the U.S. during World War II is removed.
"dud" の単語は知りませんでしたがこの不発弾騒動のニュースは知っていたので意味は分かりました。念のためにOneLook Quick Definitionsを見ると:n. an explosion that fails to occur, adj. failing to detonate; especially not charged with an active explosive (Example: "He stepped on a dud mine") とありましたが、someone who is unsuccessful, an event that fails badly or is totally ineffectual (Example: "The meeting was a dud as far as new business was concerned") と言うのもありました。やはり "dud" には良い意味はありませんね。縁が無いことを祈ります。
