Disgusting Behavior by Some Americans -- they do not represent us all
令人厌恶的一部分美国人行为——他们不能代表我们所有人
There are comments on my page and on the internet in general wherein some Americans actually laugh and celebrate using atomic weapons on civilians in World War II.
通常在我的网页和网络上的一些评论中,竟然会有一些美国人对于2战期间对平民使用原子弹而发笑和庆祝。
Whether it was right or wrong to do this at the time is not the question at hand.
这样的行为是不是正确并不是现在要讨论的问题。
But celebrating mass annihilation of civilians is sickening.
但是庆祝大量的平民被消灭是令人作呕的。
These are the sorts of people who constantly say "Nuke the bastards" every time we do not get our way with something.
每当我们不要用某些东西一意孤行的时候,他们就是那些嘴里不断的说:“用核武器干掉这些杂种!”这样的人。
If Pakistanis were dancing around yelling "allah u akbar" and "nuke the Americans!", this would not sit well with most Americans.
如果巴基坦人一边跳舞一边喊叫“真主最伟大”和“用核武器攻击美国人”的话,大部分美国人恐怕就坐不住了。我也会坐不住了。
It would not sit well with me.
我也会坐不住了。
Many Americans seem to have forgotten that we are not the only ones with nuclear weapons.
很多美国人似乎已经忘了,我们并不是唯一一个有核武器的国家。
The bombs dropped on Japan are small by comparison to thermonuclear weapons today.
投到日本的核武器与今天的氢弹相比是很小的。
The USA is far from immune to attack by nuclear weapons.
美国并不是对核武器免疫。
It would be a simple matter for a country with a suicide wish to flatten at least one American city, or to attack Israel and kick off a serious nuclear war.
至少被抹平一个美国城市,或者攻击以色列和开始一个严重的核战争,这些对于一个想要自杀的国家来说,是一个简单的事情。

伊朗有了核武器。
Since Iran has atomic weapons, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Kuwait all acquire nuclear weapons.

They might just buy the weapons from someone, such as North Korea because we backed down and let the NORKs develop atomic weapons.
他们也许会从某些国家买,比如北朝鲜,因为我们让步而且让NORKs发展核武器。
By then Iran controls large parts of Iraq and is conducting increased terrorism against Israel and Saudi Arabia.
那时候伊朗控制大部分伊拉克而且正在指挥增强了的恐怖主义去对抗以色列和沙特阿拉伯。
Saudi Arabia faces an existential threat, and feels that it has nothing to lose.
沙特阿拉伯面对一个存在的威胁,而且感受到再无可失了。
China has hydrogen bombs targeted at all the major cities in Japan, and the USA. Pakistan and India are on the brink.

Interesting how they deny the truth on so many levels, including pushing the sex-slavery myth which they cannot support with evidence.

Thai Lady reviews Rude Chinese Tourists
泰国女士评述了粗野的中国游客
That a Thai lady makes and publishes such a video is stark evidence of the growing dislike of PRC-Chinese behavior.
一位泰国女士制作并公开了一个视频,该视频是对中国人行为的不断厌恶的铁证。
Not Chinese race -- most are very good people -- but specifically from the PRC: People's Republic of China.
并不是针对所有的华人 -- 大部分华人是好的 -- 特指的是来自PRC(:中华人民共和国)的游客。
PRC is breeding uncultured bullies. And this plays out on the international stage.

US Army -- Female Soldiers used as Sex-Slaves
美军 --女性士兵被充当性奴隶使用
Wait...this title might be misleading.
稍等...这主题肯定是个误解。
Apparently only some US Soldiers were using subordinate Soldiers as sex-slaves.
明显是只是几个美军兵士迫使下级兵士做性奴隶。
Not the entire Army.
不是美军全体。
But wait...that also can be misleading.
但是稍等...那也是可能个误解。
Were the women sex-slaves or prostitutes?
那个女人是性奴隶或卖淫女?
One said she needed food, and so basically according to this she was having sex for food.
有人说那个女需要食物,所以基本上是基于此,那个女性是为了食物而发生性行为。
But wait...that can be misleading too.
但是稍等...那也是个误解。
US Soldiers are paid very well, and if she is short of food, maybe she has money problems?
美军兵士给了很多钱,如果那个女人缺少食物,也许她有经济问题?
But wait some more...maybe the reports themselves are all wrong?
但是还要稍等...也许那个报道本身就全部是错误的吗?
This gets complicated.
这件事情变得很复杂。
In any case, if the Japanese reportedly did this it would be simple.
总之,如果报道说日军做了这件事,那就是很简单的问题了。
We would call them sex-slaves.
我们称她们为性奴隶。
But since this is the US Army, well, let's just call this a criminal organization that broke the rules.
但是因为是美国军队做的事,好吧,那我们就称它为违反规则的犯罪组织好了。

慰安婦についての記事
关于慰安妇的报道
アルジャジーラの記事から:
根据半岛电视台报道:
「この件に関して参入してきたおそらく最も高名なアメリカ人はマイケル・ヨンだ.
「对于这个事件,参与过的人中最有名的,恐怕是美国人Michael. Yon了。
受賞ライターであり写真家でもある.
他是个获奖记者,也是摄影师。
イラクとアフガニスタンにおける米国軍陸上戦の実況で卓越した評価を得ている」
他以前在伊拉克和阿富汗的美国军陆上作战的实况方面得到过超群的评价。」
「最近ヨンは中国に固執している.
「最近他对中国很执着。
アジア地域と究極的には世界を支配するためには中国は何をしても良いと思っているだろうとみている.」
他认为,中国为了支配亚洲地区和最终支配全世界,什么样的事情都能做出来。」
「彼によると慰安婦の件は,歴史を直視し正義のなすための偽りの無いキャンペーンなのではなく,日本国内の世論を分断させ国力を弱くするための戦略的な「情報戦」なのだそうだ.」
「他说安慰妇的事情,不是为了正视历史实行正义的真诚的活动,而是为了让日本国内的舆论分裂、以日本国力衰弱为战略目的的「情报战。」」
「ヨン氏は彼のフェイスブックで,
「Yon先生在他的Facebook里,
日本を愛するように憲法を改正しなければならない,
日本国民为了爱日本必须改正宪法,
まちがっても中国が日本を飲み込んだり小突き回すことを試みないように,日本は強くあらねばならない.
不论如何为了不让中国吞并日本或者小规模冲突不断,日本必须强大,
究極的に言って,もしも日本が弱ければ平和は訪れない.弱い日本は戦争を招くだけだ,
归根结底的说,日本如果弱小并不会招来和平,弱小的日本只能招来战争。
と述べている.」
这样说。」

If Japanese did this, we would call them War Criminals and hang them:
如果日本人做过这样的事情,我们会称他们战犯,并把他们绞死:
Comment on my Facebook from Charles E. DiSipio
E. DiSipio写的Facebook评语。
"The combatants in WWII, in this instance, the Americans and our Allies, conducted what has become known as total war.
在这种情况下,2战中的美军和我们的盟军指挥的,所谓的全面战争。
Nothing was off the table:
没有什么是不能讨论的:
enemy combatants were mutilated, tortured, summary executions performed on wounded and those immediately taken prisoner, heads displayed in a variety of ways (typically of dead Japanese), and civilians killed by the ...tens of thousands via bombing, etc.
敌人的士兵被致残,虐待了,受伤的人和那些关押的战俘被临时处决,人头被用各种方式陈列展览(典型的死日本人),轰炸杀几万市民了,等等。
Some of these acts were indeed gross excesses, but in the big picture, that's how WWII was fought and won (and the press and the high brass swept as much of this as possible under the carpet), and I've never interviewed a veteran from WWII who felt any guilt about the way we prosecuted the war.
这些行为中的一些才是真正野蛮无耻的行为,但是从总体上看是,如何战斗取胜(新闻报纸和军方高层尽可能的掩盖事实),我从未采访到过任何一个2战老兵对我们在战争时期贯彻的行为而感到过内疚。
My father's task force passed several hundred Japanese sailors floating at sea whose ship had been sunk and every U. S. vessel was ordered to depress their guns to the lowest elevation and fire into the human mass as they passed by.
我父亲的特遣队从几百个在水里漂流的日本海军士兵身边经过,他们的战舰已经被击沉了,每一个美军战舰上的美军士兵都被命令把自己的机枪压倒最低位,当这群水中的日本海军士兵经过的时候,向他们开火射击。
Dad, to this day, feels absolutely nothing about that event, saying that everyone on his destroyer just did their job knowing the enemy would have done the same to us in a similar situation.
我的父亲,直到今天,对这个事件也不以为然,并说,在他的战舰上的每个人,只不过是做了日本人在同样情况下也同样会做的事情而已。
What mattered was winning at all costs, and that we did. You can indulge a sense of remorse, if you choose, and go back to being civilized once your enemy has been unequivocally obliterated and has lost all will to resist."
重要的事情是,不惜一切代价胜利,而且我们做到了。如果你选择,你可以沉浸在后悔之中,也可以回到文明,一旦你的敌人已经明确的被彻消灭和完全失去抵抗。

Thank you for your efforts in translating the article to Chinese language. Good to know that another person gets in the CW argument. Magic Kingdom Dispatch's comment starts with the line "The thing is, the comfort women scandal holds no water after you study its details for just ten minutes". Anyone who has common sense can understand the point. I hope Chinese people will read Mr. Yon's articles and take a moment to think about the issue. I do believe that there are some Chinese who are not influenced by what the government says. But I don't believe that there are some Koreans who are not affected by their government and the biased media. They are hopeless people, totally brain washed.
I can't understand Chinese, but I'm Japanese, so can understand Chinese character.
> The comfort women narrative is true.
> 性奴隶的讲述是真的。
The Chinese sentence above is translated to English as "The sex slave narrative is true."
I think it need correct, isn't it?
I search it.
"Comfort women" must be translated to 「慰安妇」.
But your sentences are translated both "sex slave" and "comfort women" to 「性奴隶」meaning "sex slave".
