“慰安妇”怎么说

3月5日，日本首相安倍晋三表示，即使美国国会通过了二战慰安妇问题的决议草案，日本也不会再为二战中强迫亚洲妇女做日本军妓一事道歉。其理由是，日本政府认为美国的决议包含着事实上的错误。这番言论引发了亚洲国家的强烈不满和抗议。

请看外电相关报道：Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said on Monday Japan will not apologize again for forcing women to act as sex slaves for Japanese soldiers in World War II even if a U.S. House of Representatives resolution demanding an apology is adopted.

"Comfort women" is a Japanese euphemism for the estimated 200,000 mostly Asian women forced to provide sex for Japan's soldiers at battle-zone brothels during the war.

报道中的“comfort woman”就是中文里的“慰安妇”。“Comfort woman”（慰安妇）译自日本语“慰安婦（いあんふ）”，是日本人对“战时军妓”的委婉说法。

直白一点，“慰安妇”实质上是“二战时日军的性奴”，其相应的英文表达为“sex slaves for Japanese soldiers in World War II”。
