Japanese contemporary best-selling author Haruki Murakami has earned plaudits from many Chinese citizens after releasing his latest novel, "Killing Commendatore," which acknowledges the large-scale loss of civilian life during the Nanjing Massacre. 在发布新书《骑士团长杀人事件》之后，日本当代畅销书作者村上春树赢得了许多中国人的一致喝彩，因为在书中村上承认了南京大屠杀。 During the massacre, Japanese troops committed mass murder and rape in Nanjing, then the capital of the Republic of China, in December 1937. 在1937年12月的南京大屠杀中，日军在当时中华民国首都南京犯下了大屠杀和强奸惨案。 To the fury of many in China and around the world, some conservative Japanese politicians and historians now deny that the massacre took place, or they put the death toll at a much lower number than most believe to be true. 但是让中国和全世界许多人都愤怒的是，一些保守派日本政客和历史学家现在都在否认曾经发生过南京大屠杀，或者他们认为南京大屠杀中遇难者人数要远少于大多数人认为的那个数字。 |
