社會學地理科學都將在今天的CNN學生新聞中出現(xiàn)。我是Carl Azuz。

We`re starting with news from North Korea. The communist dictator says it`s developed the ability to miniaturized nuclear weapons.

今天的新聞首先以朝鮮開始。這個共產(chǎn)主義獨裁者說他們已經(jīng)掌握了開發(fā)小型核武器的能力。

Here`s why that`s significant: making nukes smaller is a key stop toward being able to put them on long range missiles. U.S. military officials say America could intercept any potential attack from North Korea.

為什么這一聲明非常重要呢?因為縮小核武器是能夠在遠程導(dǎo)彈中使用的關(guān)鍵。美國軍方表示美國可能會攔截任何來自朝鮮方面潛在的襲擊。

And there`s some debate about U.S. officials over whether North Korea really has this technology. The Asian country`s government is very secretive. It`s hard for others to verify the claims that North Korea makes.

現(xiàn)在關(guān)于朝鮮是否真正掌握了這一技術(shù)在美國官員內(nèi)部展開了爭論。亞洲國家政府守口如瓶，所以確認朝鮮政府聲明真?zhèn)纬闪穗y題。

Still, despite the numerous problems with its economy, North Korea spends a lot on defense and has a history of using its military to provoke other countries.

不過，盡管朝鮮經(jīng)濟存在大量問題，但是朝鮮確實在國防上花費了大量資金，并且其歷史上也存在軍事挑釁他國的事實。
