①「私はこれらの証人が語った残虐行為をここに載録するに堪えないI cannot bear to list here the atrocities described by these witnesses・・・しかし、彼らの言に多少の誇張があるにしてもHowever, even if there is some exaggeration in what they say、南京占領後における日本軍の南京市民に加えた暴行が相当ひどいものであったことは、蔽い難き事実であるit is an undeniable fact that the violence inflicted on the citizens of Nanjing by the Japanese army after the occupation of Nanjing was quite severe」

②「当時私は北京に住んでいたが、南京虐殺の噂があまりに高いので、昭和十三年の夏、津浦線（京滬線）を通つて南京に旅行したI was living in Beijing at the time, but there were so many rumors about the Nanjing Massacre that I traveled to Nanjing via the Tianjin-Pukou Railway(Beijing–Shanghai railway) in the summer of 1938. 南京市街の民家が概ね焼けているので、私は日本軍の爆撃によつて焼かれたものと考へ、空爆の威力に驚いていたが、よく訊いてみると、それらの民家は、いづれも南京陥落後、日本兵の放火によつて焼かれたものであつたMost of the houses in the city of Nanjing were burnt down, so I assumed that they had been burned down by Japanese army bombing, and I was surprised at the power of the airstrike, but when I asked about them, I found out that all of those houses were burned down(set a fire=arson) by Japanese soldiers after the fall of Nanjing. 南京市民の日本人に対する恐怖の念は、半歳を経た当時においても尚冷めやらず、南京の婦女子は私がやさしく話しかけても返事もせずに逃げかくれしたEven after being half a year old, the fear of the Japanese people among the people of Nanjing had not subsided, and even when I spoke to them gently, the women and girls in Nanjing did not respond and ran away. 私を乗せて走る洋車夫が私に語つたところによると、現在南京市内にいる姑娘（若い娘）で日本兵の暴行を受けなかつたものはひとりもいないといふThe Western car driver who was driving me told me that there is not a single young girl currently in Nanjing who was not assaulted by Japanese soldiers」（瀧川政次郎Masajiro Takikawa『新版　東京裁判をさばくNew Edition Judging the Tokyo Trial（下）』慧文社Keibunsha、２００６年）

「彼ら（中国人）の多くは、日本がかつての侵略戦争の事実を認めて真摯な態度で臨めば、日本を許し、さらなる友好関係を築きたいと思っているMany of them(Chinese people) hope to forgive Japan and build further friendly relations if Japan acknowledges the fact of its past war of aggression and takes a sincere attitude.ところが、彼らがどうしても許せないのは、かつての日本軍による蛮行の事実というよりも、加害の歴史を歪曲・改竄したり、被害者を確かな証拠もなしに「ニセ被害者」扱いしたり、首相が靖国神社に参拝するといったような、中国人の気持ちを踏みにじるような現在の日本人の基本姿勢の方なのであるHowever, what they simply cannot forgive is not the fact of the brutality committed by the Japanese military in the past, but rather the fact that the history of the perpetrators has been distorted and falsified, and the victims have been treated as "fake victims'' without solid evidence. The current basic attitude of Japanese people is such that the Prime Minister visits Yasukuni Shrine, which tramples on the feelings of Chinese people」（星徹Toru Hoshi『南京大虐殺歴史改竄派の敗北Nanjing Massacre Defeat of the historical falsification group』教育史料出版会Educational Historical Materials Publishing Association、２００３年 ）
