Of course, it is always easier to export blame than to shoulder it. And, true, no Japanese prime minister has yet fallen to his knees in Nanjing the way Chancellor Willy Brandt did on the site of the Warsaw Ghetto, where he apologized for the crimes of Germany by saying, “No people can escape from their history.”
当然，指责别人的罪行总是比承担罪行容易得多。并且，确实也从来没有哪一位日本首相在南京下跪过，就像德国总理勃兰登在华沙的犹太人区所做的那样，他在那里为德国的罪行表示了道歉，“没有人能够逃脱历史，”他说道。
