[b]昨天BBC上登了篇文章China and Japan: Seven decades of bitterness,还有片早些时候的报道What Japanese history lessons leave out。两篇都是同一个BBC记者大井真理子写的。
想问问在国外生活的人们怎么看这篇文章,现在/将来会 怎教自己的孩子呢?日本依然无耻否认历史罪不可赦?或者3代前的罪不再需要孩子一代要背着?

这里我截了一段“What Japanese history lessons leave out”:
“Japanese people often fail to understand why neighbouring countries harbour a grudge over events that happened in the 1930s and 40s. The reason, in many cases, is that they barely learned any 20th Century history. I myself only got a full picture when I left Japan and went to school in Australia.”
日本人经常不理解为什么中国和亚洲国家仇视日本,主要是因为学校课本一笔带过。
From Homo erectus to the present day - more than a million years of history in just one year of lessons. That is how, at the age of 14, I first learned of Japan’s relations with the outside world. For three hours a week - 105 hours over the year - we edged towards the 20th Century. It’s hardly surprising that some classes, in some schools, never get there, and are told by teachers to finish the book in their spare time.
日本14岁的孩子在学校一年的历史课包含了1百万年的历史内容。很容易想象好些班级和学校根本没有教2战历史,而让学生自己阅读课本。
When I returned recently to my old school, Sacred Heart in Tokyo, teachers told me they often have to start hurrying, near the end of the year, to make sure they have time for World War II.
“When I joined Sacred Heart as a teacher, I was asked by the principal to make sure that I teach all the way up to modern history,” says my history teacher from Year Eight.
“We have strong ties with our sister schools in the Asian region so we want our students to understand Japan’s historical relationship with our neighbouring countries.”
I still remember her telling the class, 17 years ago, about the importance of Japan’s war history and making the point that many of today’s geopolitical tensions stem from what happened then.
记者回日本采访自己曾就读的学校,因为这个学校和亚洲一些学校是姐妹校,所以校长要求历史老师赶进度,然后能在期末空出时间来讲2战历史。

。。。。。
在英国呆久了,不难看出英国对日本的好感。SuperDry的衣服,高级的料理餐馆,甚至曾经坐我边上的同事都去过日本教了一年英文。
那我们在外面生活,有机会听到不同的声音(日本的罪行我就不再提了),第一篇文章里也有说日本后来陆续援助中国2200亿(不知道怎么算的),好多人都受到了日本文化的感染(动漫,服装等等),
我们该怎么教育自己的子女呢?
