Herbert Ziegler关于“性奴”问题

"Japan's Foreign Ministry has already attempted to persuade both McGraw-Hill and Herbert Ziegler, the University of Hawaii professor who wrote the paragraphs, to change the wording, and was rebuffed by both. Professor Ziegler last month told The Washington Post that he viewed the request as "an infringement of my freedom of speech and my academic freedom.""

日本外务省试图劝说McGraw-Hill 和 Herbert Ziegler（文章作者，夏威夷大学教授）更改言语，但是被两人拒绝。Ziegler教授上个月对华盛顿邮报说：他对这些请求视为对言论自由和学术自由的侵犯。

Note from Michael Yon: I have read Professor Ziegler paragraphs and will include his entry below. 

Michael Yon的注解：我已经读了Ziegler教授的文章，并将包含上他的文章连接地址在下面。

His scholarship is off. I do not know if this is merely from poor scholarship, or if Professor Ziegler has some agenda. I have never spoken or communicated with Ziegler. If Professor Ziegler is academically honest, he will admit that his paragraphs are in error. There is no evidence that 200,000 women were taken in the way Ziegler describes. He is merely repeating talking points that have no basis in fact. He might have conducted his scholarship on Wikipedia.

他的学问已经用尽了，我不知道这些是否只是来自贫乏的学识。或者是否Ziegler教授还有一些议题，我从来没有和Ziegler说过或沟通过。如果Ziegler对学术上是诚实的，他讲承认他的文章是错的。没有证据表明20万妇女是Ziegler描述的那样。他仅仅是重复着没有事实根据的谈话要点。他也许已经对Wikipedia引导了他的学识。

This damages the prestige of McGraw-Hill. If the publisher correct this error, that is fine and can be forgotten. But if they do not correct this, McGraw-Hill will lose credibility, and that will be remembered.

这个损害了McGraw-Hill的声誉。如果出版者改正了这个错误，那很好并可以被人们遗忘。但是如果他们不改正，McGraw-Hill将失去公信力，而且将被人们牢记。
