CNN News: 美国国防部长：将毫不犹豫击落从朝鲜飞来的导弹

We're taking you to the Korean Peninsula today. That's where North Korea, a U.S. rival, says America is wholly to blame for North Korea's nuclear program. The country has been at odds with the U.S. and South Korea since fighting stopped in the Korean War in 1953.

今天我们关注朝鲜问题。朝鲜是美国的对手，朝鲜表示美国将所有的责任都归咎于朝鲜的核项目。自从1953年的美朝鲜战争以后，朝鲜与美国、韩国一直处于对立。

Nowadays, the North's nuclear program is illegal, as far as the United Nations is concerned. But repeated sanctions, international penalties and restrictions on North Korea's economy and trade have not kept North Korea from developing nuclear technology.

现在联合国表示，朝鲜的核项目是非法的。但是对朝鲜经济以及贸易的制裁、国际惩罚以及限制并为阻止朝鲜研发核项目。

And while some defense experts don't think North Korea has the ability to actually hit the U.S. with a nuclear weapon, the North says it's conducted four successful nuclear tests since 2009. It wants to have long range nuclear weapons and it wants the world to know it has them.

虽然一些国防专家认为朝鲜并不具有用核武器打击美国的能力。朝鲜表示，自从2009年以来，已经成功做过四次核试验。朝鲜想要拥有远程核武器，并想要世界知道。

North Korea could launch an intercontinental ballistic missile at anytime from any location. That is the message from North Korean's foreign ministry official. This came out on Sunday, quoted by KCNA, the state-run media.

朝鲜外交部官员表示，朝鲜可能随时从任何位置发射洲际弹道导弹。该消息来自周日，朝鲜中央通讯社的报告。

And they say that the only thing that they're waiting for is the green light from Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader.

他们表示，他们唯一等待的是来自朝鲜领导人金正恩的命令。

Now, also, we hear in the statements that the reason that North Korea has found it necessary to carry out and develop this nuclear and missile program is because of Washington. -- the U.S. hostile policy, as North Korea calls it. And this, of course, is something that they have been saying for years, if not decades, blaming Washington for what they say is their need for self-defense.

现在，我们获悉朝鲜有必要研发进行核项目和导弹计划的原因是华盛顿——朝鲜称之为“对美国的敌对政策。”数十年来，朝鲜一直发表上述言论，表示进行核项目的原因是出于自卫。

Now, also on Sunday, we did hear from U.S. defense secretary, saying on NBC's "Meet the Press", that this program from North Korea is a serious threat. Also saying that the U.S. military is prepared to shoot down any missile, which appears to be heading towards U.S. territory, or appears to be heading from the North to any territory of its allies.

但是周日，美国国防部长(美国)全国广播公司的《会见新闻》的节目中在表示，朝鲜是一个巨大的威胁。同时也表示，美国军方已经做好准备击落出现在美国领土的导弹，或者来自朝鲜及盟友的导弹。

But one interesting thing from this statement that we have been hearing from experts is that it does appear as though North Korea is hoping for a different relationship with President-elect Donald Trump when his administration comes into power.

但是，有趣的是，我们一直从专家处听到，朝鲜希望在特朗普执政后，改善与其关系。

Now, they did say, using the DPRK, the official terms for North Korea, quote, "Anyone who wants to deal with the DPRK would be well advised to secure to a new way of thinking, after having a clear understanding of it."

现在，引用朝鲜官方术语，“建议任何想要对付朝鲜的人，作出清晰了解之后，换一种新的思维方式。”
