TOKYO —In a rare step Japan has presented an opinion to the U.S. Supreme Court asking it to rule in favor of a suit seeking the removal of a “comfort women” statue in California Foreign Ministry officials said Tuesday.

东京——日本外务省官员周二称，日本已经鲜见的向美国最高法院表达了自己的观点，要求法院作出有利于日本的判决，移除加州的一个“慰安妇”雕像。

The ministry presented an amicus curiae brief to the court which is considering the legality of a decision by the city of Glendale to allow the erection of the statue which symbolizes women who were forced to work in wartime Japanese brothels.

日本外务省已经向法院表达自己的观点。目前美最高法院正在考虑格兰岱尔市允许设立慰安妇雕像的决定是否合法。这个雕像象征着被迫在战时日本妓院工作的妇女们。

The move comes as Tokyo and Seoul are embroiled in a diplomatic spat over similar statues in South Korea. The Glendale statue depicts a young woman in traditional Korean dress.

此时正值日本和韩国就韩国设立类似雕像引发外交争议之时。格兰岱尔市的那座雕像描绘的是一个身穿传统韩国服饰的年轻女性。

Through submission of the brief Japan hopes to articulate its stance on the sensitive historical issue abroad the ministry officials said.

外务省官员称通过这种方式日本希望在国外清楚的表明自己在敏感历史问题上的立场。

It seems desperately pathetic considering how badly they lost last time. The appeals court rightly pointed out that there are countless local memorials and plaques dedicated to the holocaust the Armenian genocide and other international tragedies in cities across the country. And most importantly for a case alleging that Glendale is interfering with the Federal Government's right to conduct foreign affairs there was no evidence that the Federal Government/State Department has said anything about it not even a peep.

真是可怜，想到他们上次输的那么惨。受理法院正确的指出，全国很多城市中，有数不清的地方纪念馆和专用标识纪念大屠杀，美国种族灭绝以及其他国际悲剧。最重要的是有人声称格兰岱尔市干涉联邦政府履行外交事务的权利，然而并没有证据显示联邦政府/国务院说过任何有关这件事的话，甚至都不瞥一眼。

The more they argue and fight the more credence they give to the issue they are so stubbornly trying to get everyone to forget.
Japan is pulling at straws on this issue and wasting a hell of a lot of money and time in the process.

越闹越抗争，就越表示他们想让所有人忘记这事。
日本正在这个问题上毫无意义的争吵， 浪费了大量金钱和时间在这里面。

I think that Japan making such an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court is ridiculous. This is occurring on U.S. soil not Japan.
On the other hand one must wonder why this is being erected at this time in Glendale. Yes I know there is a very large Korean population in the L.A. area but I am a bit perplexed as to why this statue is needed there.
I think this is strange on all acounts.
 
我认为日本对美国最高法院提出这样的请求是荒谬的。这事发生在美国而非日本
另一方面，人们肯定很疑惑为什么要在这个时候在格兰岱尔市竖立这个雕像。我知道洛杉矶有很多韩国人口，但是为什么要在该市设立我就很不解了。
我认为这很不正常

Korea was paid off and agreed to shut up about this. If you want to protest you should not have accepted the hush money in 2015. Pay it back.

韩国得到了报偿，并且同意了不再提及这个事情。如果你想抗议，那么你不应该在2015年接受封口费。还给他

另一方面讲，肯定有人想知道格兰岱尔要在这时候铸起慰安妇塑像的原因。是啊，我知道洛杉矶有大量韩国人，但是我并不知道这尊塑像有什么必要非得放在那里。
 
I used to have that reaction too. Though I condemn Japan's tortured aversion to owning up to it's past why should they and the Koreans and the Chinese wage endless PR campaigns in the West. But think of how many Holocaust Memorials there are around the world. Here's a list of just the ones in the US:

我也有那种感觉。我谴责日本拒绝承认自己过去所犯下的罪行，但是为什么他们，韩国以及中国要在西方发起无尽的公关活动呢 。但是想想吧，遍布世界有多少大屠杀纪念馆呢，这有份清单，还仅仅只是在美国的部分：
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Holocaust_memorials_and_museums_in_the_United_States

How is what took place in Europe in WWII any more relevant to the US right? But as you said there are nearly 2 million Korean Americans (and nearly as many Jews as there are in Israel). It's only natural that these communities want recognition for what many in their families suffered through. Just as it is for blacks Native Americans whose suffering was closer to home.

二战中发生在欧洲的事情怎么刚好又和美国扯上关系？但是如你所说，那有近两百万韩裔美国人（数量接近以色列的犹太教徒）。这些社群希望其中很多社员的痛苦遭遇能得到承认，这是当然。就好比对于黑人来说，印第安人所遭受的苦难更加深刻。

Many people are saying there is CIA behind these movements to divide and rule East Asis.

 很多人都说这是美国中情局在背后搞鬼意图对东亚分而治之。

I cannot believe the US Supreme court is going to hear this stupid motion. I think the writer has confused the US Supreme court with the Californian Supreme court.

我不相信美国最高法院会去听取这个愚蠢的请求。我想作者混淆了美国最高法院和加州最高法院。
 
Of course the Californian Supreme court is going to laugh this out of court and I hope censure the Japanese Foreign Ministry for getting involved in domestic First Ammendment rights.

当然，加州最高法院将一笑置之，并且我希望法院可以谴责日本外交省干涉美国宪法第一修正案权利。

The Japanese look ridiculous.

日本人看起来很可笑。
