和訳お願いします。
Japanese are fond of saying that Japan is a very small country and America a very large country.
America is not the largest country in the world, and Japan is not the smallest.
If one limits oneself to the forty-eight states that are the main part of the country, the United States is not even the largest country in the western hemisphere.
Brazil is larger.
Japan, on the other hand, is larger than any European country except France and the Soviet Union, and about the same size as two Germanies combined.
Yet it remains true that America is a much larger country than Japanese.
The area of the forty-eight adjoining states is more than twenty times that of Japan, which is almost exactly the same size as the third largest of the forty-eight, Montana.
