篇二：华尔街之狼 观后感 英文

Wolf of Wall Street Cinematography

The wolf of Wall Street movie is a controversial motion picture based on a bestselling novel about the rise of a Wall Street trader Jordan Belfort. Leonardo Di Caprio, who delves into the life of drugs, women, money laundering and securities fraud plays the main character. Together with his friends, they are able to build a multi-million company that defrauds people by selling them penny stocks.

Wolf of Wall Street movie may be classified as a narrative type of movie and is directed by Martin Scorsese. The cinematographer shot the interesting movie in film mode. Scorsese chose this approach as he saw the images shot by his cinematographer having richer skin tones and possessing more color nuance as compared to digital shots during preproduction testing runs. Most parts of the movie were therefore shot on film, and for night scenes, Alexa was used as well as green screen visual effects.

A major challenge on the film’s director was on deciding how to depict the various phases of the main character’s (Belfort) life. In conjunction with the films cinematographer, Scorsese decided to differentiate scenes of Jordan’s life where he seemed lost or uncertain from the scenes he would appear to have found clarity in his life and some sense of right course. This was successfully achieve from the use of diverse optics, color schemes, and lighting styles. Being guided by Belfort’s mental state and thoughts, the cinematographer alternated between various lenses for example v-lite, Hawk V, V-plus lenses, among others to get various degrees of depth, clarity, and perspective (Barsam & Dave p.238). Moreover, to enhance the contrast, in the different mental states, the director mixed in several diffusion filters, with ambient smoke being used sometimes and pushing the negative. As Rodrigo Prieto, the movies cinematographer explains, at the start of the film, it has a softer and slightly murky look, as Jordan has not yet

found himself. He seems confused and somehow awestruck by the busy Wall Street. During this phase of Belfort’s career, the director used a more narrow depth of field together with some slight alteration of anamorphic lenses (Barsam & Dave p. 240).

Jordan at first works at the firm LF Rothschild before starting his own business. The set at the investment firm is dominated by a color scheme of green and gold light that imply an old vintage look. The director claimed a photo he had seen of a brokerage firm in the 1980’s inspired this idea. In making wide shots, the cinematographer captured the office space using short range V-lite lenses that were able to curve the frames ends a bit, creating a sense of uncertainty. The picture of LF Rothschild is not as crisp clear as the outlook of Jordan’s subsequent firm, which had more of the color white. This helps show a different ambience and timeline of the two firms.

After the crash of 1987, LF Rothschild falls and is shut down. Belfort loses his job and desperately searches for anywhere he can find employment. Eventually, he starts to work as a regular employee at an investment center, an occupation he dislikes. This set was only lit through big windows from one side bringing out a feeling of sort of being in a cave. This part of his life the idea was to show the decline of Belfort’s life and he falls into darkness. After some time Jordan establishes his own brokerage firm and gains massive success. When he knows how to make a lot of money, and is successful, the film has a crisper, pristine look. The cinematographer changed to spherical Master Primes and did not use diffusion for this part.

When he is under investigation, the director, and cinematographer create a sort of paranoia look. They changed back to Hawk anamorphic, with lengthier focal lengths to depict a feeling of being investigated. In some scenes, they also added some smoke to make the background faintly milky and have a shallow depth of field. The cinematographer did also push the film stock for the scenes and stop to improve grain and contrast.

Prieto used an approach aimed at visually differentiating the three reiterations of Belfort’s firm as it grew. It started out in a renovated auto shop then relocated to a suitable office, and later finally moved into a bigger, elaborate office space. To differentiate the sets Rodrigo used a variety of color temperature combinations, applying different filters and diffusion. In the initial location, the auto shop is dimmer and realistic than the later evolved offices. Subsequently, the film brings out a look of power from Belfort and his offices become more luxurious. This is depicted in a crisper look with widely focused shots, white light, clear distinction, and fast camera shifts.

The final version of Jordan’s investment firm is a huge office space full of big windows and offices with glass walls. The location selected for this section was a third floor office building at Westchester in New York. Moreover, the height of the building made it hard to control the amount of sunlight on set and recreating it after sunset. In the evenings to maintain a look of daylight, the film crew had to improvise with light boxes in all sides of the set and vertical blinds to show an effect of a plain whiteout. On another side, Jordan’s lavish office was situated where there lay a window with a vast outward view. The crew also improvised with lamps lighting the backing, and others lighting the set to ensure the film would maintain daylight brightness regardless of the type of weather.

Moreover, the director of the film also created certain images to display characters mental states and emotions. For example, during the many drug escapades of Belfort there were up close shots with the fraudster, as he delivered slow slurred words in his dialogue and feel dizzy or high. The images would bring to mind a feeling of blur but at the same time flowed delivering a sensation of being loose. In one of the scenes where Jordan was high on Quaaludes in a nightclub,

the cinematographer used 20mm lens and brought out very close shots of Leonardo’s mouth and eye as he tried to talk.

The movie may be categorized as a narrative type of movie. There are narrations or commentaries given by the main character, which shape our itinerary in the movie. They are a sequence of cues that guide the viewers in the progression of the movie (Barsam p.159). At the initial scene of the movie, we see busy stockbrokers leapt over their desks in a vast work place where there is a lion lurking the pathways. We are also shown a contrasting view at another angle of the office where there are exhilarated staff who are having fun about to throw a little man towards a Velcro bull's eye. The small man is thrown and a freeze frame appears stopping the man in mid-air. One of the men who have thrown the man approaches the camera and introduces himself as Jordan Belfort. He continues to explain to us with motion pictures and scenes how he lives motivated by drugs, sex, living large and the debauchery he engages in. the scenes are brief and vulgar and does not show the escapade of Belfort implicitly but directly and swiftly.

This type of movie is able to limit our knowledge of certain events and is successful in manipulating the films emotional level arbitrarily. At one time, Belfort angrily slaps Naomi, his Wife. However, the event is shown to the audience through a far camera shot where only a glimpse is seen of what really transpires. The act is seen through a doorway where the impact of the aggression by Belfort is minimized. Here we gain significant information in the story but not as openly as the nearby sexual exploits and drug abuse escapades we get from other sections. This may be explained that a near shot of the violence would have altered the audience’s perception of Jordan’s bad boy pranks as merely entertainment. It would have led viewers to acquire a negative attitude towards the main character.

The director also utilizes suspense in the film to capture the attention of the audience. This is the intensified sense of impatience or anxiousness of what might happen next. For instance, in one scene, Jordan is too high on their special drugs they call Quaaludes to help his colleague Donnie from chocking. This scene makes us anticipate what might happen next due to the tense situation.

The film characters performances especially Dicaprio’s confidence contribute significantly to the mood of the movie. The movie has a stylistically textured soundtrack that is beneficial to the movies nature. The music and sound effects together with Jordan’s Commentary bring out a stimulating and lively experience. The movie is also successful in demonstrating surprising and fascinating attributes of Jordan and his degenerate lifestyle.

Scorsese was also careful in the shot angles he chose for various scenes in the motion picture. When Dunham, the FBI Agent, is interviewing Jordan, the long edgy scene at one instance may lead viewers to consider that the Agent may accept to be paid off by the degenerate Jordan. He makes facial expressions and asks questions implying he may be interested in Belfort’s offer. This conversation is filmed in constricted angles only showing certain parts of the setting. However, when the agent tells Jordan to repeat his proposal we see a shot where the FBI’s colleague in the off screen draws in closer to listen in. This approach helps hide some information and surprise the audience with a different result than they expected.

The film does contain clear depictions of the characters emotions and mental states. There is the use of vivid pictures of the themes contained in the movie. The colors have been expertly selected and used to bring out the season timing and mood as intended by the director.

篇三：英语小技巧：如何写通顺的英语

英语小技巧：如何写通顺的英语

华尔街英语专家介绍:英语写作是语言应用的一个重要方面，也是语言能力测定的重要手段，衡量写作水平的标准便是看其是否能用学过的语言材料，语法知识等用文字的形式来表达描述。 书面语言表达一般分为三个过程：思维、组织、表达。先是思维，把要写的东西在脑中思考，这往往是个别的，孤立的一些素材，很凌乱琐碎；因此要对此进行组织，把这些思维作出整理，使其条理、系统化，但这还是较粗糙的，可能还有一些用词不当或语言错误；最后才是表达，把组织过的材料仔细推敲，确无问题了再落笔成文。

在撰写时要注意主谓语一致，时态呼应，用词贴切等，这就是写作。上述的三个过程，最难的就是第三个过程，这需要我们有较好的语法知识，掌握一定数量的句型，习惯用语，熟练的写作技巧，这样才能写出通顺生动的文章来。

总之，要提高英语写作水平，需要两方面的训练：一是语言基础方面的训练，要有扎实的造句、翻译等基本功，即用词法、句法等知识造出正确无误的句子；二是写作知识和能力方面的训练以掌握写作方面的基本方法和技巧。

那么，究竟怎样才能写好作文呢？

阅读优秀范文

首先要搞好阅读。阅读是写作的基础，在阅读方面下的功夫越深，驾驭语言的能力也就越强。所以要写好英语先要读好英语，在语言学习方面狠下苦功，教科书要读透，因为教科书中的文章都是一些很好的范文，文笔流畅，语言规范，精彩的一些课文段落要背诵。再就是要进行大量课外阅读，并记住一些好文章的篇章结构。 加强练词造句训练

其次，要加强练词造句的训练。词句对作文相当于造房的材料，无好材料就造不出好房子。平时在学习阅读时要注意收集积累，把好的词语、短语、句型做好笔记。平时在练习中的错误也要做好记录，再对照正确句子，使地道的英语句子如同条件反射，落笔就对。

了解英语写作格式

还有，要了解英语写作的不同体裁与格式。可以先看一本介绍英语写作入门的书，对英语写作有一个初步的概念，如怎么写议论文，如何提出论据，如何展开，如何确定中心句；又如，英语信的格式，如何根据不同身份写不同结束语等，然后根据不同的体裁进行写作练习。

用英语写日记

华尔街英语专家建议：要养成记英语日记勤练笔的好习惯。经常用英语记日记，等于天天在练笔，这无疑是提高英语协作的行之有效的好办法。在记日记时，不要总是用简单句，要有意识地用一些好的词组、句型、关联词和复合句等，使文句更优美生动。还有要按照题目或所给情景写文章练笔。写好后对照范文，找出差距，然后再练习，这对提高英语作文也很有帮助，在游泳中学会游泳，只有多练习才能练好。

总之，平时学习语言素材积累多了，体裁格式记住了又经常练习不断提高，到作文下笔时就会得心应手，水到渠成。

美国防部长参观辽宁舰

更新时间:2014-4-8 11:52:43 来源:华尔街日报中文网 作者:佚名

Pentagon Chief Tours Chinese Aircraft Carrier

美国防部长参观辽宁舰

China's military opened its doors on Monday to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, offering America's top defense official a rare look at its new aircraft carrier.

中国军方周一打开大门接待美国国防部长哈格尔(Chuck Hagel)，为这位美国最高防务官员提供了一次难得的参观中国新航空母舰的机会。

The two-hour visit was the first China has granted to a foreign official seeking a close view of the Liaoning, a refurbished Ukrainian ship that is the centerpiece of the county's naval ambitions.

这次历时两个小时的参观是中国第一次授权外国官员近距离观察辽宁舰。这艘航空母舰进口自乌克兰，经过了翻修，是中国实现其海洋抱负的重要一环。

The U.S. ambassador to China, former Sen. Max Baucus, and top Pentagon officials joined Mr. Hagel on the tour during the defense secretary's first visit to China since taking command at the Pentagon a year ago.

美国驻华大使、前参议员鲍卡斯(Max Baucus)和数名五角大楼高级官员与哈格尔一道参观了辽宁舰。这是哈格尔一年前就任美国国防部长以来第一次访华。

The visit provided American officials with a rare opportunity to assess the capabilities of the Liaoning and Chinese military development. Chinese officials compared their carrier development to the beginning of the American carrier fleet in the early 1900s, U.S. officials said.

这次参观为美国官员提供了一次难得的评估辽宁舰和中国军力发展状况的机会。美国官员们说，中国官员将中国的航母发展与20世纪初期美国航母舰队的初建阶段相提并论。

'They know they have a long way to go in naval aviation,' said one defense official traveling with Mr. Hagel.

与哈格尔一同访华的一名防务官员说，中国官员知道他们在海军航空方面还有很长的路要走。

The official praised China for allowing Mr. Hagel to visit the ship as a milestone in military openness. 该官员称赞中国允许哈格尔登舰的做法是军事开放的里程碑。

The Liaoning, named a(来自:www.sMHaiDa.com 海 达范文网:介绍华尔街的英语作文)fter the northeastern Chinese province where it is based, isn't yet considered operationally effective. Pilots are still learning how to take off from and land on the aircraft carrier, and it lacks the full complement of technologically sophisticated support ships that characterize U.S. carrier groups.

辽宁舰以该舰基地所在的东北部省份取名，尚没有作战能力。飞行员仍在学习如何在航母上起飞和降落，该舰也缺乏像美国航母群那样的技术成熟的支持性舰船。

Still, the Liaoning serves as a symbol of China's regional ambitions and growing military might. 但辽宁舰是中国的地区雄心和军事实力增强的象征。

A Chinese company purchased the carrier's empty hull from Ukraine in 1998, and the refurbished carrier made its first sea trial under Chinese control in August 2011.

中国兴起“网上扫墓”

更新时间:2014-4-8 11:33:27 来源:华尔街日报中文网 作者:佚名

Tomb Sweeping Gets Reborn Online

中国兴起“网上扫墓”

In China, grave sweeping--that ancient Confucian tradition--has gone virtual.

Over the Qing Ming holiday weekend, millions of people flocked to the nation's cemeteries to burn paper money, arrange dishes of food and deliver trinkets ranging from faux iPhones to plastic flower boas as a way to express their devotion to the departed.

But increasingly, as the nation makes a push for more 'environmentally friendly' ways to revere the dead, many mourners are going online instead.

At Waheaven.com, for example, users can build elaborate web shrines decked out with flickering bytes of candles, images of bouquets and pots of incense. This year, some draped portraits of their loved ones in black cloth, while others outlined them with red fabric.

For Qing Ming, users flooded the site with tens of thousands of virtual tributes, spanning everything from GIFs of animated white lotuses to drummers dressed in white or pictures of departed ones' favorite foods. The company says it currently has more than 3.4 million users.

Elsewhere online, vendors on Taobao.com this weekend also offered to sweep tombs for those who couldn?t visit their relatives? cemeteries in person. For a modest fee—usually around 100RMB or up—they offered to place flowers, candles and other offerings, perform a set number of ritualistic bows, and send photos as part of the bargain.

On a sunny Monday, one family spanning three generations gathered to sweep tombs the traditional way in the outskirts of Beijing, carefully layering plastic flowers and paper money before a family grave.

Standing before the low mound of dirt and stone as his Bluetooth device idled in his ear, Mr. Wang, who only wanted to be identified by his surname, said he sympathized with people couldn't sweep tombs in person. 'What if they live overseas? Or outside Beijing and it's not convenient?' said Mr. Wang, a media worker in his 40s. When he passes away, he said, he wouldn't mind if his descendants didn't always pay their respects in person. 'If I'm not here, I won't have any feelings about the matter,' he said.

From his wheelchair across the way, though, Mr. Wang's father interjected with disdain.

'Tomb-sweeping is about the spirit. If you don't do it yourself in person, there is no spirit.'

For his part, Mr. Wang's young son said he planned to keep sweeping tombs all his life. Looking around at the quiet, sun-dappled cemetery at the flower-festooned tombs, popping open a soft drink, he told his father, 'I like doing it.'

扫墓本是中国儒家的一个传统，现在却走向虚拟化。

今年清明节适逢周末，成百上千万人来到墓地陵园，用烧纸钱、献祭品，送纸糊的iPhone和塑料花篮的方式表达哀思。

但随着政府倡导以更环保的方式缅怀先人，越来越多的人选择在网上祭祀。

在天堂网(Waheaven.com)，用户可以为逝去的亲友创建网上纪念馆，点烛、上香、送花。今年有些用户还在逝者照片的旁边加上了黑色或红色的缎带。

清明节，用户们涌向这家网站，敬献成千上万的虚拟祭品，这些祭品从GIF格式的白荷花、到身穿白衣的鼓手、再到逝者生前最喜欢的食物，可谓应有尽有。天堂网说，他们的用户已经超过340万。

2

这个周末，淘宝网(Taobao.com)的商家也为无法亲自扫墓的人提供了代客扫墓服务。只要付不多的钱（通常是人民币100元起），就可以雇人到墓地摆花、蜡烛和其他祭品，还可以雇人去鞠躬，送照片。

周一是个阳光明媚的日子，一个祖孙三代之家在北京郊区的墓园以传统方式扫墓，他们小心翼翼地在墓碑前摆放塑料花和纸钱。

王先生站在泥土和石头堆成的一个小土堆前，耳朵上挂着蓝牙设备。他说，他理解那些没法亲自来扫墓的人。“住在海外的人怎么办？人不在北京，不方便怎么办？”他说，如果他去世了，自己的后代不能经常来祭奠他，他是不会介意的。“

如果我不在了，对这件事也不会有什么感觉了”

。王先生40多岁，从事媒体行业，他不愿意透露全名。 王先生的父亲坐在轮椅上，很不屑地插话说，“扫墓是一种精神，不亲自来就没有这种精神了。”

王先生的儿子说，他会一直亲自来扫墓的。他环顾四周，看着安静、阳光斑驳的墓园和花朵装点的墓碑，打开手上的一罐饮料，对王先生说：“我喜欢这样做。”

中国收紧对美国生猪进口限制

China Tightens Restrictions on Imports of U.S. Hogs

中国收紧对美国生猪进口限制

China has imposed tougher restrictions for imports of live pigs from the U.S. amid concerns about a fatal swine virus, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and livestock-industry officials. 据美国农业部和畜牧业官员表示，中国对从美国进口的生猪实施了更加严格的限制，这主要是出于对一种致死性猪病毒的担心。

China, the world's largest consumer of pork, has asked the USDA to conduct testing and provide certification that live hogs come from herds that are free of porcine epidemic diarrhea, or PED, virus. The disease has expanded to nearly 30 U.S. states and killed millions of young pigs since it was first identified in the country last spring, according to industry estimates.

中国已要求美国农业部进行相关检测，并提供相应认证，显示进口至中国的生猪来自没有发生猪流行性腹泻的猪群。根据美国生猪行业的估计，自去年春天首次发现该病毒以来，这种疾病已蔓延至美国的近30个州，并已导致数百万仔猪死亡。中国是全球最大的猪肉消费国。

Live hogs represent a relatively small portion of pork-related U.S. exports to China. The Asian nation last year bought 14,000 hogs, valued at $20 million, according to the USDA. In contrast, exporters shipped $703.5 million worth of fresh pork to the country, according to the U.S. Meat Export Federation, a trade group.

生猪在美国出口至中国的猪肉相关产品中占比相对较小。根据美国农业部的数据，中国去年进口1.4万头美国生猪，价值2,000万美元。美国贸易组织美国肉类出口协会(U.S. Meat Export Federation)的数据显示，美国出口商去年向中国出口了价值7.035亿美元的新鲜猪肉。

A spokesman for the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service said the agency 'is both capable and willing' to comply with China's new requirement for testing and certification. But, he said, the government also would 'continue to work with the Chinese' to try to eliminate the requirement. 美国农业部动植物卫生检验服务部门(Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service)的一位发言人说，该部门有能力也愿意遵照中国对于检测和认证提出的新要求。但他表示，美国政府也将继续与中方协商，争取取消这些要求。

Some U.S. livestock exporters said Friday that China had denied permits for live-hog imports from the U.S. until the USDA implemented the testing and certification procedures.

一些美国畜产品出口商上周五表示，中国此前已停止对进口自美国的生猪发放许可证，直至美国农业部落实上述检测和认证手续。

美国将向日本加派两艘宙斯盾驱逐舰

US To Beef Up Defenses In Japan

美国将向日本加派两艘宙斯盾驱逐舰

The U.S. said it planned to bolster its missile-defense systems in Asia and counter North Korea by sending two more advanced destroyers to Japan by 2017.

美国表示，计划2017年前再在日本部署两艘先进的驱逐舰，增强亚洲的导弹防御体系，以制衡朝鲜。

After meeting with top Japanese officials, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said on Sunday that the U.S. would boost the number of Aegis ballistic-missile-defense destroyers based in Japan to seven. 在与日本高级官员会晤之后，美国国防部长哈格尔(Chuck Hagel)周日说，美国将把驻扎在日本的宙斯盾(Aegis)导弹驱逐舰数量提升到七艘。

He said the decision comes in response to 'Pyongyang's pattern of provocative and destabilizing actions' that have angered its neighbors, including recent tests of missiles capable of reaching Japan. 他说，这一决定是为了回应平壤“具有挑 性及令地区局面不稳定的一系列行动”。此类行动已经惹怒朝鲜的邻国。朝鲜不久前进行了导弹试射，所发射的导弹有能力攻击到日本。

The announcement came on the first full day of Mr. Hagel's visit to Asia, his fourth trip to the region since taking over at the Pentagon a year ago. On Monday, he heads to Beijing for his first trip to China as defense secretary.

哈格尔是在亚洲之行的第一个完整访问日宣布上述决定的，这是他自一年前担任美国国防部长以来第四次到访这一地区。周一，他将抵达北京，首?a href="http://www.zw2.cn/zhuanti/guanyuwozuowen/" target="_blank" class="keylink">我怨啦砍ど矸莘梦手泄?/p>

U.S. allies in the region have been watching with concern as the U.S. has taken a measured response to Russia's annexation of Crimea.

在美国对俄罗斯吞并克里米亚进行有节制的回应之际，美国在该地区的盟友一直在密切关注。

The U.S. declaration that it didn't see a military response to Russia's actions in Ukraine has raised questions for America's Asian allies about Washington's commitment to defending them. While Ukraine isn't a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, it is a longtime partner of the military alliance.

美国曾发表声明称，美国认为没有必要以武力回应俄罗斯在乌克兰的举动。这一声明令美国的亚洲盟友对于华盛顿为其提供防卫的决心有多大产生了质疑。尽管乌克兰不是北约(NATO)成员，但却是该军事同盟组织长期以来的伙伴。

Mr. Hagel came to Tokyo to reassure America's longtime ally that the U.S. would honor its treaty commitments to defend Japan. He said the U.S. had a 'complete and absolute commitment to the security of Japan.'

哈格尔到访东京是为了让日本这个美国长期盟友放心，美国将践行相关条约中载明的防卫日本的承诺。他说，美国将完全、坚决地履行承诺，维护日本的安全。

On Sunday, he reaffirmed the point during a news conference with Japanese Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera. 'You cannot go around the world and redefine boundaries and violate territorial integrity and sovereignty of nations by force, coercion, and intimidation, whether it's in small islands in the Pacific or large nations in Europe,' Mr. Hagel said.

周日，在与日本防卫大臣小野寺五典(Itsunori Onodera)举行新闻发布会时，他重新确认了这一点。哈格尔说：“你不能跑到全世界去重新划定边界，不能用武力、强制或威胁的方式侵犯他国领土和主权完整，不管是太平洋中的小岛，还是欧洲的大国。”

'Great powers have great responsibilities,' he added. 'And China is a great power.'

他还补充称，大国的责任也大，而中国是一个大国。

日本将以国宾之礼迎接奥巴马

Japan to Make Obama State Guest

日本将以国宾之礼迎接奥巴马

Japan will welcome U.S. President Barack Obama as a state guest with ceremonial flourishes later this month, Tokyo announced Friday, a victory for the government of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe following a brief period of diplomatic tensions.

Mr. Obama will spend at least two days in Japan on April 24 and 25, calling on Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko on two occasions. He will also attend a summit meeting and a banquet hosted by Mr. Abe.

While the two leaders are expected to discuss a broad range of topics, from bilateral defense

cooperation to security in East Asia, a critical item on their agenda will be a regional trade agreement known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, U.S. and Japanese officials say.

The TPP is a key element of Mr. Obama's much-publicized 'pivot' to Asia, as well as Mr. Abe's economic growth strategy dubbed Abenomics. Yet, the two sides still have disagreements over

access to Japan's agriculture market and the U.S. auto sector, holding back broader efforts to form a 12-nation free trade bloc.

Friday's announcement came after weeks of haggling between Tokyo and Washington over the length and classification of Mr. Obama's visit, part of an East Asia tour that will also include stops in South Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines, U.S. and Japanese officials said.

Hoping to emphasize strong bilateral ties at a time of rising tensions in East Asia, Japanese officials had insisted on hosting Mr. Obama as a state guest, a formal procedure that normally includes three days of events. The U.S. had pushed back, citing scheduling constraints, including the need to balance the president's time among the nations on his itinerary.

Washington's reluctance stemmed from Mr. Abe's visit to a controversial Tokyo war shrine in

December, a move that angered China and South Korea, the two neighbors Japan has squabbled with in recent years. It prompted the U.S. to issue an unusual statement that it was 'disappointed' by the Japanese leader's action.

Since then, Mr. Abe has made efforts to get along better with his nation's neighbors, particularly South Korea, another close ally of the U.S. Last week, he held talks with South Korean President Park Geun-hye for the first time since the two leaders took office over a year ago, with Mr. Obama bringing them together in a trilateral summit in The Hague.

Signaling Tokyo's desire to have Mr. Obama experience the full gamut of official functions, the two countries are still negotiating the exact length of his visit. Tokyo said in a news release that Mr. Obama is expected to arrive 'on the early morning of April 24 at latest.'

While visits to Japan by a U.S. president aren't rare, Mr. Obama's is the first one to receive state guest treatment since Bill Clinton's trip in 1996.
