　　TOKYO — Japan’s simultaneous embrace ofnationalism and cosmopolitanism is generatingambiguous signals from its education policymakers. They are rewriting textbooks along whatthey call “patriotic” lines, alienating their Asianneighbors in the process. But at the same time, theyare promoting Japanese universities as globalizedand open, in a bid to compete internationally.

　　东京——日本对民族主义和世界主义的同时采纳，是该国教育政策制定者发出的模棱两可的信号。在重新编写教科书时，他们遵循了所谓的“爱国”理念，从而在这一过程中疏远了他们的亚洲邻国。但与此同时，为了参与国际竞争，他们又在力促日本大学成为全球化的开放大学。

　　“There is an obvious contradiction between Japan’s rightward shift on education policy andits strivings to internationalize,” said Thomas Berger, a professor at Boston University and anexpert on Japanese politics.

　　波士顿大学(Boston University)教授、研究日本政治的专家托马斯·伯杰(Thomas Berger)说，“日本在教育政策上的右倾和它在国际化方面所做的努力存在明显矛盾。”

　　“Japanese textbook policy is increasing tensions with Asia, undermining the willingness ofJapanese to study in neighboring countries and of foreigners to come to Japan,” Prof. Bergersaid. “Education policy is caught on the horns of a dilemma: On the one hand, there arepowerful economic and political pressures that favor internationalization — yet, in reality, Japanhas been moving in the opposite direction.”

　　“日本的教科书政策正在加剧它与亚洲其他国家的紧张，打击了日本人去邻国学习以及外国人来日本的积极性，”伯杰说。“教育政策处在一种进退两难的境地：一方面存在支持国际化的强大的经济和政治压力——不过，日本其实一直是在朝相反的方向前进。”
