In the last couple of years, I have seen two painfully honest German films – “Downfall,” about the last days of Hitler, and “The Lives of Others,” about the operations of the former East Germany’s secret police (the Stasi). Since those dark days, Germany has developed as a healthy vibrant democracy.
德国在这方面的做法令人尊敬。过去两年，我看了两部痛苦但却诚实的德国影片：一部是关于希特勒最后日子的《帝国的毁灭》，另一部是关于前东德秘密警察（Stasi）所作所为的《其他人的生命》。自从那些黑暗的岁月以来，德国发展成了一个健康并且充满活力的民主国家。
