So the world should take note when they do not – such as when US Under Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, at a recent conference in Washington, DC, on Asian security, publicly scolded South Korea for its seemingly endless vilification of Japan. According to Sherman, South Korea’s stance – reflected in its demand that Japan apologize, once again, for forcing Korean women to provide sexual services to the Imperial Army during World War II – has produced “paralysis, not progress.”
亚特兰大—美国外交官喜欢用闪光的词汇描述美国的盟友。因此，当他们不这么做的时候，世界就要注意了——比如，美国副国务卿谢尔曼（Wendy Sherman）在最近的华盛顿亚洲安全会议公开斥责韩国没完没了地中伤日本。根据谢尔曼的说法，韩国的立场——再次要求日本就二战期间强迫韩国妇女充当慰安妇道歉——制造了“僵局而非进步”。
