周末已經(jīng)過去，朝鮮半島的又一次開始了緊張的局勢。

I`m Carl Azuz and that`s what`s first up this Monday, April 25th.

我是卡爾·阿祖茲，今天是4月25日，星期一。

North Korea fired a ballistic missile from a submarine on Saturday. It`s a latest on the series of missile and nuclear tests that the secretive, communist nation has conducted this year.

上周六，朝鮮發(fā)射潛射導彈。這是今年為止，朝鮮導彈和核試驗發(fā)射的又一次導彈。

Ballistic missiles fly in an arc toward their targets. U.S. officials say this one appears to have flown into the sea. But firing a missile from a submarine is significant can`t see exactly where the launch points are. Nouth Korea launched the launch a threat, U.S. officials say it broke international law. France called for more global penalties on North Korea.

彈道導彈朝著目標飛進。美國官員稱這枚導彈似乎已經(jīng)飛入了海中。但是發(fā)射潛射導彈關系重大，因為無法準確觀測到發(fā)射點的位置。朝鮮發(fā)射導彈以示威脅，美國官員稱這違反了國際法。法國呼呼吁加大對朝鮮的全球制裁。

So, why is it pushing forward with its military programs?

朝鮮為何要繼續(xù)推進其軍事項目呢?

North Korea is claiming an eye-opening success with its ballistic missile launch from a submarine this weekend. Photos published on state-run media show the launch with Kim Jong-un. They say it was ordered and guided by the leader and has significantly bolstered the navy`s capabilities.

朝鮮稱這次的潛射導彈發(fā)射取得了重大成功。其官方媒體公布的照片顯示，發(fā)射時金正恩就在現(xiàn)場。官方媒體稱是在金正恩的命令和指導下進行發(fā)射的，這次發(fā)射大大提高了朝鮮的海軍能力。

Now, experts around the world will be poring over these photos to see what kind of information they can glean from them. Photos published by the North showing this type of launch were widely assumed to have been doctored. South Korea`s foreign ministry has condemned the launch, saying that they have warned if the North continued with these so-called provocations, they would go back to the United Nations Security Council and push for even stronger sanctions.

現(xiàn)在世界各地的專家將要研讀這些照片，看看能從中收獲何種消息。朝鮮發(fā)布的照片顯示這種類型的發(fā)射被普遍認為是偽造的。韓國外交部對這次發(fā)射行為強烈譴責，稱自己已經(jīng)發(fā)出警告，如果朝鮮繼續(xù)這些挑釁行為，則求助聯(lián)合國安理會對其進行更加嚴厲的制裁。

The U.S. has also condemned the launch. One official though saying it was provocative but did not cause a threat to the U.S. However, one other U.S. official did say, quote, "It shows North Korea sub launch capability has gone from a joke to something very serious."

美國強烈譴責了這次發(fā)射行為。一位美國官員稱，盡管這次發(fā)射行為不會對美國構成威脅，但是這是一起挑釁行為。但是另外一位美國官員則稱，“這次發(fā)射行動表示朝鮮潛艇發(fā)射能力已經(jīng)從一個笑話變得需要大家嚴肅對待了”。
