CNN News: 平昌冬奧會 韓朝關(guān)系真改善?

In Pyeongchang, South Korea, organizers say almost 3,000 athletes representing 92 countries will be competing. That would be the most ever.

韓國的平昌，組織者表示，代表92個(gè)國家的近3000名運(yùn)動員將參加比賽。那將是有史以來最大的一次。

And while North Korea has sent a delegation of athletes, musicians and media to South Korea, and there are signs of improved relations between the two rivals.

朝鮮派出了運(yùn)動員、音樂家和媒體代表團(tuán)前往韓國，有跡象表明這兩個(gè)競爭對手之間的關(guān)系有所改善。

There are also signs of continued tensions between them. For one thing, the night before the games, North Korea is holding a parade to show off its missiles and rockets, an effort to show the world its military strength.

他們之間也有持續(xù)緊張的跡象。首先，在奧運(yùn)會前夜，朝鮮舉行閱兵儀式，炫耀其導(dǎo)彈和火箭，以此向世界展示其軍事實(shí)力。

For another, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence is attending the games. The U.S. is an ally of South Korea, and according to "The Washington Post", he`s bringing a man named Fred Warmbier with him. He`s the father of Otto Warmbier, an American student who was jailed in North Korea and who died soon after he was released last year from a North Korean prison.

另一方面，美國副總統(tǒng)邁克·彭斯正在參加奧運(yùn)會。美國是韓國的盟友，據(jù)《華盛頓郵報(bào)》報(bào)道，他帶了一個(gè)名叫弗雷德·瓦姆比爾的人。他是奧托·瓦姆比爾的父親，奧托是一名美國學(xué)生，曾在朝鮮被監(jiān)禁，去年從朝鮮監(jiān)獄獲釋后不久就去世了。

Warmbier`s parents have accused North Korea of torturing him. The communist country says Warmbier contracted botulism, a bacterial disease, while in prison. The presence of his father at the Olympics will probably anger North Korea. So, it`s likely these games will make political headlines, as well as athletic ones.

瓦姆比爾的父母指責(zé)朝鮮虐待他。朝鮮表示，瓦姆比爾在監(jiān)獄里感染了肉毒桿菌病，一種細(xì)菌性疾病。他父親出席奧運(yùn)會可能會激怒朝鮮。所以，這些游戲很可能會成為政治頭條，以及體育新聞。
