VOA慢速英語：朝鮮劃設(shè)禁航區(qū) 引發(fā)導(dǎo)彈測試擔(dān)憂

North Koreahas declared a "no-sail zone" off its eastern coast and raised concerns that it will carry out a missile test.

朝鮮已經(jīng)宣布在其東海岸劃設(shè)禁航區(qū)，引發(fā)了對朝鮮再次進(jìn)行導(dǎo)彈測試的擔(dān)憂。

Officials said this week that the no-sail zone is near the eastern coastal city of Wonsan. It is effective from November 11 to December 7. Reports say the order started in North Korea's internal communications channels.

韓國官員本周表示，禁航區(qū)在朝鮮東部港口城市元山附近，禁航期為11月11日至12月7日。有關(guān)報道說，這一指令首先是通過朝鮮內(nèi)部交流通道傳出來的。

North Korea has declared a "no sail zone" near its eastern coast. The move has led South Korean media to speculate whether the country will carry out a missile test.

The U.N.'s International Maritime Organization told VOA it has not received any notification from North Korea about a no-sail declaration.

周一，聯(lián)合國國際海事組織在發(fā)給美國之音的郵件中說，還沒有收到來自朝鮮的關(guān)于宣告禁航的任何通知。

The move comes as South Korean media reported that the U.N. Secretary General planned to visit the North.

此舉正值韓國媒體報道聯(lián)合國秘書長計劃訪問朝鮮之時。

However, a U.N. spokesperson said Wednesday that Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon would not travel to the communist country.

然而，周三，一位聯(lián)合發(fā)言人表示，秘書長潘基文不會訪問這該共產(chǎn)主義國家。

A spokesperson for South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters Monday the military will increase readiness if necessary. The spokesperson said the military is closely watching activities related to a possible launch.

周一，一位韓國參謀長聯(lián)席會議發(fā)言人告訴記者，必要時，軍方將增加準(zhǔn)備。該發(fā)言人還表示軍方將密切關(guān)注可能的相關(guān)發(fā)射活動。

Experts in Seoul say North Korea could launch a mid-range missile or a new kind of ballistic missile.

首爾的分析人士稱，朝鮮可能會發(fā)射一枚中程導(dǎo)彈，或是一種新型彈道導(dǎo)彈。

Shin In-Kyun is a defense expert who says, "The no sail zone is quite expansive and I believe that is because Pyongyang intends to fire a Rodong missile." North Korea's mid-range missile is able to travel 1,300 kilometers. visit the website www.chinavoa.com to get more information!

國防專家Shin In-Kyun表示，禁航區(qū)范圍之廣，他認(rèn)為是由于平壤打算發(fā)射“勞動”導(dǎo)彈。朝鮮的中程導(dǎo)彈射程達(dá)1300公里。

Some Korean mediaspeculated that North Korea might fire a ballistic missile from a submarine. In May, North Korea claimed it had successfully fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile.

一些韓國媒體猜測，朝鮮可能發(fā)射一枚潛射彈道導(dǎo)彈。五月份，朝鮮聲稱它已成功發(fā)射一枚潛射彈道導(dǎo)彈。

But a South Korean official who asked to remain unnamed told VOA that North Korea declared no-sail zones several times in the past few months. It did not, however, follow with a missile launch.

但是一名不愿透露姓名的韓國官員告訴美國之音，過去幾個月間，朝鮮劃設(shè)了幾次禁航區(qū)，但是并沒有發(fā)射導(dǎo)彈。
