朝鮮稱美國海上封鎖行動是“戰(zhàn)爭行為”
朝鮮抨擊美國對朝實施海上封鎖的計劃，稱此舉構(gòu)成“戰(zhàn)爭行為”。
The fiery comments in the state-run Rodong Sinmun newspaper came a day before the US, South Korean and Japan launched rocket tracking drills on Monday aimed at improving detection and monitoring of the reclusive regime’s ballistic missile tests.
朝鮮官方的《勞動新聞》(Rodong Sinmun)發(fā)表上述憤怒言論的一天后，美國、韓國和日本在周一展開導(dǎo)彈追蹤演習(xí)。這次演習(xí)旨在改進(jìn)對與世隔絕的朝鮮政權(quán)的彈道導(dǎo)彈試驗的偵察和監(jiān)控。
Tensions on the peninsula remain high amid growing concern that the US might launch military action against North Korea or that a miscalculation during training drills on either side could provoke a full-scale conflict.
朝鮮半島局勢持續(xù)緊張，人們?nèi)找鎿?dān)憂美國可能對朝鮮發(fā)起軍事行動，或者演習(xí)中任何一方的誤算可能演變?yōu)槿鏇_突。
Despite being outgunned in conventional weaponry, Pyongyang has this year succeeded in developing a host of new advanced weapons, including a powerful nuclear device and several long-range missiles capable of hitting the US.
雖然在常規(guī)武器方面被碾壓，但朝鮮今年成功開發(fā)了一系列新型先進(jìn)武器，包括一個強(qiáng)大的核裝置和幾枚能打到美國的遠(yuǎn)程導(dǎo)彈。
The launch last month of its most advanced missile — the Hwasong 15 — triggered outcry in the US and prompted the state department to raise the possibility of a naval blockade.
上月朝鮮發(fā)射其最先進(jìn)的“火星15型”(Hwasong 15)導(dǎo)彈，在美國引起一片嘩然，促使美國國務(wù)院提出了從海上封鎖朝鮮的可能性。
“In addition to implementing all existing UN sanctions, the international community must take additional measures to enhance maritime security, including the right to interdict maritime traffic transporting goods to and from [North Korea],” it said in a statement that prompted derision from Pyongyang.
“在執(zhí)行聯(lián)合國(UN)所有現(xiàn)有制裁以外，國際社會必須采取進(jìn)一步措施來加強(qiáng)海上安全，包括有權(quán)禁止貨物經(jīng)由海運進(jìn)出(朝鮮)，”美國國務(wù)院在一份聲明中表示。這份聲明招致了朝鮮的譏諷。
North Korea would consider a blockade a “cruel violation on our sacred sovereignty and dignity and another public declaration of war”, Rodong Sinmun reported.
《勞動新聞》報道稱，美國對朝海上封鎖將被視為“對主權(quán)國家的主權(quán)和尊嚴(yán)粗暴的侵害……對朝海上封鎖活動是戰(zhàn)爭行為”。
“If they show any slight sign of carrying out the sea blockade, they should prepare for immediate and ruthless self-defensive countermeasures.”
“美國應(yīng)做好精神準(zhǔn)備，如果特朗普(Trump)集團(tuán)表現(xiàn)出將海上封鎖試圖付諸實施的一點點動靜，朝鮮就立即采取毫無慈悲的自衛(wèi)性應(yīng)對措施。”
North Korea regularly employs such rhetoric as part of its diplomatic strategy and has previously accused the US of declaring war.
朝鮮經(jīng)常運用這樣的措辭為其外交戰(zhàn)略服務(wù)。朝鮮之前也曾指責(zé)美國宣戰(zhàn)。
However, independent analysts in South Korea also criticised the proposed blockade, saying it would only worsen the situation and that the US Pacific Command was not in a position to seal North Korea’s maritime borders.
然而，韓國獨立分析人士也批評了美國擬議中的海上封鎖行動，稱此舉只會惡化局勢，美國太平洋司令部(US Pacific Command)也無權(quán)封鎖朝鮮海上邊境。
“If the US goes ahead with the blockade, it will only aggravate the situation by provoking North Korea to conduct more nuclear tests and launch missiles under the banner of self-defence,” said Hong Hyun-ik, a senior researcher at the Sejong Institute.
“如果美國實施封鎖，只會使局勢惡化，促使朝鮮打著自衛(wèi)的旗號進(jìn)行更多核試驗和導(dǎo)彈發(fā)射，”首爾世宗研究院(Sejong Institute)高級研究員Hong Hyun-ik說。
“Instead of searching for a real solution to the nuclear crisis, which is dialogue with the North, the US is attempting to maintain its hegemony in north-east Asia.”
“美國試圖維持其在東北亞的霸權(quán)，而不是尋找核危機(jī)的真正解決辦法，也就是與朝鮮對話。”
