QA问答：日本人觉得羞耻吗？根据GDP计算，德国刚刚超过了日本，成为世界第三大经济体。是什么原因导致了日本经济的停滞，让德国实现了对日本的超越？
Are the Japanese ashamed? Germany has just overtaken Japan as the 3rd largest economy in the world by GDP. What explains Japan's stagnant economy and Germany's surpassing of Japan?
译文简介
我们不要对日本太苛刻了。
这不是一个公平的比较。
德国是一个独立的国家，而日本只是美国的一个附庸，为了保住其宗主国的经济实力，它只能铤而走险玩火自焚。

Let’s not be too harsh on Japan. This is not a fair comparison. Germany is an independent country while Japan is a US vassal jumping through hoops and immolate itself to keep its suzerain’s economy strong.
The 1985 Plaza Accord has severely hamstrung Japan’s ability to sustain its economical growth. It will take Japan a long time, if possible, to recover. With the US high interest rate, ever-rising national debt and addictive money-printing, Japan’s national debt continues to rise in sync. Japan will continue on its survival mode for decades to come. This is the price to pay for its WW II atrocity. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
我们不要对日本太苛刻了。
这不是一个公平的比较。
德国是一个独立的国家，而日本只是美国的一个附庸，为了保住其宗主国的经济实力，它只能铤而走险玩火自焚。
1985年的广场协议，严重削弱了日本维持经济增长的能力。
如果可能的话，日本需要很长时间才能恢复。
随着美国的高利率、不断上升的国债和令人上瘾的印钞行为，日本购买的美国国债将继续同步上升。
日本将在未来几十年继续这种生存模式。这是为二战的暴行，需要付出的代价。这样的事情不会发生在好人身上。
Japan must be doing very badly, if Germany has just overtaken it. Germany is in recession now.
如果德国刚刚超过日本的话，日本肯定做得很糟糕。
德国现在正处于衰退之中。

those responsible for ww2 atrocities are long dead. many in the present generations still suffer from the effects of the h-bombs. seems like a pretty nasty comment to wish harm to the japanese people now. not unlike usa whites being held responsible for slavery by their ancestors? or a whole family made responsible for crimes comitted by 1 member. but we dont accept that do we? so why be a hypocrite?
那些对二战暴行负有责任的人早已死去。
当代许多人仍然遭受着氢弹的影响。
这似乎是一个非常恶劣的评论，希望伤害现在的日本人民。
这与美国白人因为他们的祖先，就被认为需要为奴隶制负有责任，有什么不同？
或者一个家庭因一名成员所犯的罪行，就要集体承担责任？
但我们不接受这些，不是吗？那么，为什么要做一个伪君子呢？

Do you condone Japan for intervening in Taiwan reunification with China? Why or why not? Do you condemn Israel for apartheid and the looming GENOCIDE? Let’s see how you define hypocrisy.
日本干涉台湾地区与中国的统一，你会宽恕吗？为什么？
你谴责以色列的种族隔离和迫在眉睫的种族灭绝吗？
让我们看看你是如何定义虚伪的。

I support Japan in letting the Taiwanese make their decisions.
I support Israelis in making their own decisions for survival.
Are these hypocritical?
我支持日本让台湾人自己做决定。
我支持以色列人为生存做出自己的决定。
这些是虚伪的吗？

Of course it is. Try reading your statements .
当然是。试着阅读你的陈述。
Both Japan & Germany are dying economically OK
日本和德国的经济都在衰退。
It was Japan’s attempt to kick start their economy after the Plaza Accords that killed their economy. If they hadn’t gone full tilt their economy would have recovered normally.
日本在《广场协议》之后试图启动经济，却扼杀了他们的经济。如果他们没有拼尽全力，他们的经济就会正常复苏。
“kick start their economy after the Plaza Accords” ?? How did Japan “kick start” economy? Care to elaborate?
“在《广场协议》之后试图启动经济”？？
日本是如何“启动”经济的？愿意详细说明吗？
Super easy access to credit for real estate and tech. Caused a bubble. Nasty result. Germany went through the same thing but didn’t do the easy credit. Came out with flying colors.
超级容易获得房地产和科技信贷。造成了泡沫。导致了糟糕的结果。德国也经历了同样的事情，但获得信贷没有那么容易。所以表现出色。

Obviously the economic sectors which Germany specializes in are faring better than the sectors the Japanese specialize in. It’s cyclical, by the way, and such dominance typically doesn’t last forever. Don’t forget that Germany was more powerful industrially than Japan until fairly recently anyway (1980s).
很显然，德国专门从事经济的部门，要比日本专门从事经济的部门要好。
顺便说一句，这是周期性的，这种主导地位通常不会永远持续下去。
别忘了，直到最近（20世纪80年代），德国的工业实力还是比日本强大。
There's no need for the Japanese to feel ashamed. Economic rankings can fluctuate over time due to various factors. Japan has faced challenges in recent years, such as an aging population and slow economic growth. On the other hand, Germany has experienced strong export-driven growth and a robust manufacturing sector. It's important to remember that economies are complex and influenced by multiple factors.
日本人没有必要感到羞耻。
经济排名可能会因各种因素而随时间波动。
近年来，日本面临着人口老龄化和经济增长缓慢等挑战。
另一方面，德国经历了强劲的出口驱动型增长和强劲的制造业。
重要的是要记住，经济是复杂的，受多种因素的影响。
The population of Japan is falling like a stone. While Japanese have a lot of wealth accumulated from it’s past it’s future doesn't look rosey.
This is why they have a major problem with caring for their elderly.
日本的人口，正在像石头一样下降。
虽然日本人从过去积累了大量财富，但他们的未来看起来并不乐观。
这就是为什么他们在照顾老人方面存在重大问题的原因。
Because Japan is an aging country refusing immigration work forces and producing most outside the country as Germany does the contrary : import a massive work force and home produces almost everything.
因为日本是一个老龄化国家，拒绝移民劳动力，在国外生产，使用外国的劳动力，而德国恰恰相反：进口大量劳动力，几乎都是在国内生产所有东西。
Why would they be ashamed? They aren’t going hungry and the joke is on us. The same countries (Germany and Japan) that are combatant and still came up winners.
Who is laughing now?
他们为什么会感到羞愧？
他们不会挨饿，笑话在我们身上。
日本和德国都是好斗的国家，他们现在仍然是赢家。
现在是谁在笑？
Sekiguchi Masanori （日本人）
So there is nothing to be ashamed about.
Have fuuuuuun!
不。因为GDP不是一个很好的经济指标。
日本也没有进口数以百万计的外国工人来保持人口数量的增长。
日本确实在增加移民，但我们并不打算从日本消除日本文化。
德国已经并正在面临一场重大的文化危机，因为按照目前的速度，在不久的将来，德国将失去德国文化和本土德国人。
所以没有什么可羞愧的。
玩得开心！
Germany is in recession since the US sabotaged their gas pipeline
自从美国破坏德国天然气管道以来，德国陷入了衰退。
Japan’s population is declining and that isn’t helping anything. Old people aren’t working and not enough young people to support them.
I recommend the book, Capitalism the Unknown Ideal, by Ayn Rand, a Russian-American philosopher, not an economist. It contains an essay, "What is Capitalism," because the author rightly holds that most people don't know what it is. She writes about laissez-faire capitalism, not the mixtures of capitalism, fascism, and socialism we have today. Also, she gives a moral defense of it, which nobody else does. It was published about 1964 so you can tell how prescient she was. Also check out YouTube to see her on the Johnny Carson show (3 times) in 1967. She wrote both fiction and non-fiction.
日本的人口正在下降，但这并没有起到任何作用。
老年人没有工作，也没有足够的年轻人来养活他们。
我推荐一本书，《资本主义——未知的理想》，作者是俄罗斯裔美国哲学家，而不是经济学家。
它包含了一篇文章，“什么是资本主义”，因为作者认为大多数人不能正确的知道它是什么。
她写的是自由放任的资本主义，而不是我们今天的资本主义、法西斯主义和社会主义的混合体。
此外，她还为其提供了道德辩护，而其他人没有这样做。
这本书大约在1964年出版，所以你可以看出她是多么有先见之明。
也可以在YouTube上看到她在1967年3次上了Johnny Carson show 这个脱口秀节目。
她写小说，也写非小说。
Race to the bottom, the Japanese and German economies. Both economies sabotaged by their ‘ally’, America, one by the Plaza Accord, the other by Nord Stream. This is the price paid for losing national sovereignty. Whether, like North Korea or Russia, a country is sanctioned, or have your gas pipeline blown up, it comes to the same thing.
日本经济和德国经济，逐底竞争。
这两个经济体都被他们的“盟友”美国破坏了，一个被广场协议破坏，另一个被炸毁北溪破坏。
这是失去国家主权所要付出的代价。
还有其他的选择，像朝鲜或者俄罗斯那样，受到制裁。不管是受到制裁，还是你的天然气管道被炸毁，都是一样的。
译注：
逐底竞争(race to the bottom)是国际政治经济学的一个著名概念，意指在全球化过程中，资本流遍世界，就是为了寻找最高的回报。因此，政府在有关福利体系、环境标准和劳工保障的政策执行方面会受限制，意味发展中国家必须竞相削减工资水平和福利待遇，以吸引国际企业投资设厂。
