英语翻译
In fact,the Japanese themselves have been as critical as any foreigner,if not more so,of their politicians’ apparent haplessness,and of TEPCO officials’ evasions and obfuscations.请问 if not more so在上面这段话中该如何翻译,如何用英语对上面的句子进行改写?

答案

if not more so就是说日本人大力抨击本国政客以及东电官员的无能,而这种抨击力度与任何外国人相比都是有过之而无不及
用英语改写的话,可以如下所示：
In fact,compared with foreigners,the Japanese themselves have been as critical as or even more critical of their politicians’ apparent haplessness,and of TEPCO officials’ evasions and obfuscations.
