a good wash
Time for a good wash
是改头换面的时候了

Yet the buffers may be the best place for Japan. Or rather, a general election—perhaps a string of elections—offers the best chance of forcing parties to confront their inconsistencies, offering voters real choices rather than candidates who compete to bring home the bacon.

然而缓冲是日本最好的选择。更准确的说是举行大选—也许一系列选举—才是迫使政党直面自身矛盾,还选民真正选择权(而不是什么只会假公济私的候选人)的最佳时机。JapainFeb 21st 2008

"
該文標題中譯之所以翻譯為大涸時代
若是為了呼應內文中
Time for a good wash
就很有意思
但,可惜的是,Time for a good wash又翻譯成
是"改头换面"的时候了
沒能點出wash 的關連
甚為可惜
"洗心革面"比較wash
可是又怪怪的 "
