鸠山将于18号正式当选日本首相，他在经济和军事方面的对美政策不是亲美，而是偏向反美，虽然他没有完全承认这一点。Rather than benign blandness, he took a sceptical view of Japan’s economic and military relations with the United States, which hinted at — without ever fully owning up to — something close to anti-Americanism. (From The Times, September 2, 2009: World agenda: Yukio Hatoyama can't afford to distance Japan from the US)
own up (to sth / to doing sth): to admit that you are responsible for sth bad or wrong。坦白，爽快承认。同义词：confess。
*I’m still waiting for someone to own up to the breakages.
*Why don’t you just own up and hope she forgives you?
