CNN News: 安理会加大施压力度 印度减少对朝贸易

International pressure is increasing for North Korea to give up its controversial missile and nuclear programs. The communist Asian country has shown no signs that it's willing to do that. It tried to test-fire another missile on Saturday. But U.S. officials say it's failed, apparently exploding while it was still over North Korean territory. Still, the attempt was an active defiance by the country.
国际社会正在加大对朝鲜的施压力度，希望该国放弃其备受争议的导弹及核项目。然而该亚洲社会主义国家朝鲜却未表露出任何愿放弃核项目意愿的迹象。周六，朝鲜再次试射导弹。不过美国官方表示，此次导弹试射失败，导弹还在朝鲜境内时就爆炸了。尽管如此，这次试射是该国进行的又一次反抗。
It came after an announcement by India that it would stop all of its trade, except for food and medicine, with North Korea. Until that decision, India was reportedly its third biggest trading partner after China and Saudi Arabia.
印度宣布将暂停除食品和医药外的一切对朝贸易活动后，朝鲜进行了此次导弹试射。在做出这一决定之前，印度是仅次于中国和沙特阿拉伯的、朝鲜第三大贸易伙伴。
For more than 10 years, the United Nations Security Council has tried to North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons program. It's done this through sanctions, penalties on North Korea's economy.
10多年以来，联合国安全理事会一直在试图让朝鲜放弃其核武器项目。安理会通过对朝鲜实施制裁和经济惩罚来达到这一目的。
But even though India is a member of the United Nations and even though it's been elected to the U.N. Security Council several times before, it hasn't fully complied with U.N. sanctions on North Korea until now.
不过，即使印度是联合国的成员国，此前还曾多次入选安理会，但是迄今为止印度并没有完全遵从联合国对朝鲜实施的制裁。
Welcome to the United Nations Security Council.
欢迎来到联合国安理会。
The one thing you need to know is that the Security Council is the most significant part of the U.N. because it's supposed to protect and maintain international peace and security in the world.
你需要明白一点，联合国安理会是联合国最重要的机构，因为安理会的职责是保护和维护国际和平以及世界安全。
The Security Council is made up of 15 different countries. They sit here around this circular table. Five countries have had permanent status since the start of the Security Council over 70years ago. They are the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia and China.
联合国安理会有15个成员国。这些国家的代表会围坐一堂召开圆桌会议。安理会在70多年前成立后，确定了五个常任理事国，分别是美国、英国、法国、俄罗斯和中国。
Their job is to determine if there is a threat to peace or an act of aggression somewhere in the world. It often calls on sides to settle differences by peaceful means or send envoys to start negotiations.
常任理事国的职责是确定世界上是否存在威胁和平的情况或是否存在侵略行径。安理会经常呼吁各方通过和平方式或派遣特使展开谈判来解决分歧。
If things don't go well, it's the Security Council that approves punishment to enforce cooperation in the form of sanctions. When all else fails, the Security Council can authorize the use of force to stop the fighting or threat.
如果进展不顺，安理会则会以制裁的形式进行惩罚以强制各方进行合作。如果所有方法均告失败，那安理会可以授权使用武力来终止战斗或威胁。
