Given wide publicity about international charitable relief efforts and voluntary contributions to Japan, one might think that the country’s economic loss was shared internationally. But newspaper accounts suggest that such contributions from foreign countries should be put in the hundreds of millions of US dollars – well below 1% of the total losses.
在大肆宣传的国际慈善援助和志愿行动下，人们会觉得该国的经济损失已经被分散到了全世界。但新闻报道显示这类国外捐赠的总数大概只有几亿美元——还不到总损失的1%。日本需要真实有效的金融风险分担：而慈善却很少能承担起这个重任。
