Sanctions on North Korea Affect a Private University

對朝鮮的制裁影響私立大學

Pyongyang University of Science and Technology is North Korea’s first privately funded university. It opened in 2010. But, the head of the school says the university is facing financial difficulties because of international sanctions against North Korea.

平壤科學技術大學是朝鮮第一朵私立大學,建立于2010年。但是該校校長表示,收到國際隊朝鮮的制裁影響,科技大學正面臨經(jīng)濟危機。

Chan-Mo Park is the university’s chancellor. He is a former computer science professor at the University of Maryland and a U.S. citizen who was born in South Korea.

平壤科技大學校長樸臣莫(音譯:Chan-Mo Park )之前是馬里蘭大學的計算機科學教授,并且是出生在韓國的美國公民。

He told VOA on Wednesday, “We want to recruit South Korean professors, but the May 24 measure blocks it.”

他周三告訴美國之音,“我們想招聘韓國教授,但是5月24日制裁使這變?yōu)椴豢赡堋?rdquo;

He was referring to trade and exchange sanctions South Korea made against North Korea on May 24, 2010. The sanctions came after South Korea accused the North of sinking one of its naval boats and claiming the lives of 46 sailors.

他指的是韓國對朝鮮于2010年5月24日作出的貿(mào)易制裁。韓國指控朝鮮擊沉了韓國的一艘船,并有46名船員喪生。

North Korea’s nuclear and missile tests earlier this year have further isolated the country. In March, a United Nations Security Council resolution placed further restrictions on North Korea’s financial activity.

朝鮮今年初的核導彈試驗使得其被國際社會進一步孤立。三月份,聯(lián)合國安理會決議對朝鮮的經(jīng)濟活動做進一步制裁。

The school chancellor says that despite international tensions, the university is growing. It is largely supported by Western-based Evangelical Christians. It currently hosts about 500 enrolled students and 100 professors. Some are U.S. Citizens.

學校校長表示盡管國際上對朝鮮有制裁,學校仍在發(fā)展。西方福音派基督徒為該校提供大部分支持。目前,該校共有500名在校生和100名教授。其中有些是美國公民。

Park says the school offers North Korean students rare opportunities to engage with Western-trained scientists.

樸臣莫說學校為學生提供的與受過西方教育的科學家的交流機會很少。

“We were doing a virtual reality class and some students turned in materials about American hip hop music for their homework,” said Park. He described students as eager to learn about the outside world.

“我們正在上的課都是不現(xiàn)實的,學生們提交關于美國嘻哈英語的材料作為他們的作業(yè)。”樸臣莫說。他還表示學生很渴望了解外面的世界。

Critics argue the institution could help the North Korean government further develop nuclear technology. Park said this is not the case. He said the school’s curriculum meets U.S. Regulations.

批評者認為該機構可以幫助朝鮮政府進一步發(fā)展核技術。樸臣莫說并非如此,他說學校的課程符合美國的要求。
