Up to 200,000 women were estimated to have been forced to be sex slaves for Japanese soldiers during WW2, many of them Korean. Only 46 of them are still alive in South Korea.
据估计，多达20万名妇女在二战期间被迫成为日本性奴役，其中有许多是韩国人。如今只有46名韩国老人幸存。
Other women came from China, the Philippines, Indonesia and Taiwan.
还有一些来自中国，菲律宾，印度尼西亚和台湾的妇女。
Japan had previously acknowledged its responsibility for sex slaves in a 1993 statement by the then-chief cabinet secretary Yohei Kono.
1993年，时任日本内阁长官河野洋平承认日本军强征慰安妇问题。
Japan had also resisted giving greater compensation, arguing that the dispute was settled in 1965 when diplomatic ties were normalised between the two countries and more than $800m in economic aid and loans was given to South Korea.
日本认为此争端已在1965时两国恢复正常外交关系时得到解决，当时日本提供了8亿美元的经济援助和贷款给韩国，故而拒绝给予更大补偿。
A private fund was also set up in 1995 for the victims and lasted for a decade, but money came from donations and not from the Japanese government.
自1995开始，日本还成立了一个私人基金会，向慰安妇支付赔偿金，此举延续了10年之久。不过这些资金多数是私人捐赠而非日本政府提供。(声明：本文为爱语吧原创翻译，转载请注明来源，否则追究法律责任)
