I am proud of the path that we have taken, but we did not walk that path alone. Seventy years ago, Japan had been reduced to ashes, and each and every month, citizens of the United States sent and brought gifts like milk for our children, warm sweaters, and even goats.
我为我们所选择的道路而自豪，但在这条路上，我们不孤独。七十年前，日本被夷为平地，每个月，美国公民都会给我们的孩子们寄送或带来儿童牛奶、温暖的毛衣甚至山羊等礼物。是的，战争结束后的一年里有2,306头美国山羊来到日本。从前的敌人变成了亲密的朋友。
