[求譯] 請問這一段新聞中if only partially的意義

[erthe4 (er)]

1957. Prime Minister Kishi Nobusuke. "We view with deep regret the vexation
we caused to the people of Burma in the war just passed. In a desire to
atone, if only partially, for the pain suffered, Japan is prepared to meet
fully and with goodwill its obligations for war reparations. The Japan of
today is not the Japan of the past, but, as its Constitution indicates, is a
peace-loving nation."


請問這一句if only partially ,for the pain...... 是僅針對傷痛的部分嗎?
