South Korean President Says No to Nuclear Weapons

韓國(guó)總統(tǒng)對(duì)核武器說(shuō)不

South Korean President Moon Jae-in says his country will not develop nuclear arms or own nuclear weapons.

韓國(guó)總統(tǒng)文在寅表示，韓國(guó)不會(huì)發(fā)展或擁有核武器。

The president made the statement in a speech Wednesday to South Korea's National Assembly.

文在寅周三在韓國(guó)國(guó)民議會(huì)的講話中宣布了這一立場(chǎng)。

Moon added that both South Korea and North Korea should observe a joint declaration from 1992. In that statement, both countries said the Korean Peninsula should be free of nuclear weapons.

文在寅補(bǔ)充說(shuō)，韓國(guó)和朝鮮都應(yīng)該遵守1992年的一項(xiàng)聯(lián)合聲明。在那份聲明中，兩國(guó)都表示說(shuō)朝鮮半島應(yīng)該無(wú)核化。

Observers noted that Moon's position on such weapons remains unchanged.

觀察人士指出，文在寅對(duì)這類武器的立場(chǎng)始終如一。

The president's statement comes as opposition lawmakers have called for a redeployment of American tactical nuclear weapons in the South. They want to defend against the threat of North Korean efforts to develop nuclear weapons.

文在寅的聲明是在反對(duì)派議員要求在韓國(guó)部署美國(guó)的戰(zhàn)術(shù)核武器這樣一種背景下出臺(tái)的。他們想要抵御朝鮮發(fā)展核武器的威脅。

Some South Korean lawmakers say their country should have its own nuclear weapons.

一些韓國(guó)議員表示，韓國(guó)應(yīng)該擁有自己的核武器。

On September 3, North Korea tested its sixth and most powerful nuclear device yet.

9月3日，朝鮮進(jìn)行了第六次，也是迄今為止最為強(qiáng)大的一次核試驗(yàn)。

North Korea's nuclear and long-distance missile tests have led to strong language from United States President Donald Trump. He has threatened to launch military action against the North if it continues testing barred by the United Nations Security Council.

朝鮮的核試驗(yàn)和遠(yuǎn)程導(dǎo)彈試驗(yàn)招致了美國(guó)總統(tǒng)川普的強(qiáng)硬措辭。川普威脅朝鮮如果繼續(xù)進(jìn)行被聯(lián)合國(guó)安理會(huì)禁止的核試驗(yàn)，就要對(duì)它采取軍事行動(dòng)。

However, in his speech on Wednesday, Moon stated that no military action will be taken on the Korean Peninsula without the permission of South Korea. He also said that his country would control its own future.

然而，文在寅在周三的講話中聲明，未經(jīng)韓國(guó)許可，任何國(guó)家不得在朝鮮半島采取軍事行動(dòng)。他還表示，韓國(guó)會(huì)掌控自己的未來(lái)。

Trump to visit South Korea for talks

川普訪問(wèn)韓國(guó)進(jìn)行會(huì)談

South Korea will be the second country that Trump visits on his trip to Asia later this month. North Korea's nuclear and long-range missile development is expected to be one of many issues to be discussed.

韓國(guó)將是本月晚些時(shí)候川普亞洲之行要訪問(wèn)的第二個(gè)國(guó)家。朝鮮發(fā)展核武器和遠(yuǎn)程導(dǎo)彈預(yù)計(jì)將會(huì)成為要討論的眾多問(wèn)題之一。

After his visit to South Korea, Trump will then travel to Beijing for talks with Chinese officials.

在訪問(wèn)韓國(guó)之后，川普將前往北京同中國(guó)官員進(jìn)行會(huì)談。

As preparations for the visit continue, members of his cabinet have visited Asia and discussed the situation in Korea.

隨著訪問(wèn)準(zhǔn)備工作的不斷開(kāi)展，川普的內(nèi)閣成員已經(jīng)訪問(wèn)了亞洲并討論了朝鮮半島的局勢(shì)。

Last month, U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said, "Our goal is not war, but rather the complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula."

上個(gè)月，美國(guó)國(guó)防部長(zhǎng)馬特斯表示：“我們的目標(biāo)不是戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)，而是朝鮮半島上完全的、可以核查的、不可逆轉(zhuǎn)的非核化。”

The Reuters news agency reports that the United States is carrying out direct, secret negotiations with North Korea.

路透社報(bào)道稱，美國(guó)正在同朝鮮進(jìn)行直接的秘密談判。

The report was published on Wednesday. The story said that an unidentified State Department official told Reuters that the U.S. special diplomat for North Korea has been speaking with North Korea's U.N. mission.

該報(bào)道是在周三發(fā)表的。報(bào)道內(nèi)容稱，一位身份未明的國(guó)務(wù)院官員告訴路透社，美國(guó)的朝鮮特使一直在跟朝鮮駐聯(lián)合國(guó)使團(tuán)進(jìn)行對(duì)話。

The U.S. does not have diplomatic relations with North Korea. But, special diplomat Joseph Yun, the report says, has been in contact with the North through what is known as the "New York channel." That term suggests North Korea's diplomatic contacts with the U.N.

美國(guó)與朝鮮沒(méi)有外交關(guān)系。但是報(bào)道稱，特使Joseph Yun一直通過(guò)所謂的“紐約渠道”跟朝鮮保持接觸。“紐約渠道”這個(gè)術(shù)語(yǔ)是指朝鮮與聯(lián)合國(guó)的外交聯(lián)系。

The unidentified official said the discussion "has not been limited at all, both (in) frequency and substance."

這位身份未知的官員表示，這一討論“在頻率和實(shí)質(zhì)內(nèi)容方面都完全不受限制。”

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said last month that the United States is extending diplomatic efforts toward North Korea. President Trump, however, has voiced anger over nuclear and long-range missile tests carried out by the North.

美國(guó)國(guó)務(wù)卿蒂勒森上個(gè)月表示，美國(guó)正對(duì)朝鮮展開(kāi)外交努力。但是川普總統(tǒng)對(duì)朝鮮進(jìn)行的核試驗(yàn)和遠(yuǎn)程導(dǎo)彈試驗(yàn)表示了憤慨。
