An open Japan would, by definition, be more outward-looking, would speak better English so that it could communicate across Asia and the world, would be more influenced by foreign ideas - including ideas concerning war guilt. It has been 150 years since the "black ships" of America's Navy forcibly opened up Japan.
开放的日本，具体来讲就是要眼睛向外、能更流利地应用英语与亚洲和世界交流，也更能接受国外的思想－其中也包括曾经犯下的战争罪行。从美国海军的"黑色舰队"强行打开日本大门到现在150年已经过去了。而今天，日本人必须靠自己打开国门。
