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?

如果不是对他们这么批判的话。

如果说没有他们更加吹毛求疵的话
if not more critical than them,

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.

if not more so应该是指“如果对。。。不是更挑剔的话”。
整句话可以这样理解。事实上,日本人自己和外国人一样苛刻,甚至会更加苛责他们政客的不幸和东京电力官员的逃避与糊弄态度。
