CNN News: 朝鮮和美國互相威脅的言論不斷升級

One major issue between North Korea and the international community is the communist country's nuclear and missile programs. The United Nations considers those illegal.

朝鮮和國際社會之間的一個重要分歧就是——該社會主義國家堅持發(fā)展核項目和導彈項目。而聯(lián)合國認為這些項目是非法的。

North Korea sees developing these weapons as aright. It tested two intercontinental missiles last month. In response, the United Nations approved new sanctions, penalties on the Asian country's economy.

朝鮮認為發(fā)展這些武器是他們的權(quán)利。上個月，該國試射了兩枚洲際導彈。作為回應(yīng)，聯(lián)合國通過了對該亞洲國家的經(jīng)濟制裁和懲罰。

Threatening statements between North Korea and the U.S. have been increasing. North Korean officials have talked about firing missiles toward the area around Guam, a U.S. territory in the Pacific Ocean. And though U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed hope for a peaceful solution, he's also said that American military options are, quote, locked and loaded for use against North Korea.

朝鮮和美國互相威脅的言論不斷升級。朝鮮官員曾表示，要向關(guān)島附近地區(qū)發(fā)射導彈。而關(guān)島是美國在太平洋的領(lǐng)土。盡管美國總統(tǒng)唐納德·特朗普表達了希望通過和平手段解決朝鮮核問題，但他也表示，美國對朝鮮的軍事打擊已經(jīng)準備就位。

Other countries factor in. China, an ally of North Korea, says it won't help the country if North Korea strikes first. But China implied that it would take action if the U.S. attacks North Korea first.

還要將其他國家考慮進來。朝鮮的盟友中國表示，如果朝鮮首先發(fā)動襲擊，那中國不會為其提供幫助。但是中國也暗示，如果美國首先攻擊朝鮮，那中國將會采取行動。

Meantime, South Korea, a U.S. ally, says it would immediately punish any potential attacks by the North. But most of the communist country's threats have been directed at America.

同時，美國盟友韓國表示，它將立即懲罰朝鮮的任何潛在襲擊。不過，社會主義國家朝鮮的大多數(shù)威脅都是針對美國的。
