CNN News: 朝鮮再發(fā)導彈等特朗普接招

Following up on the North Korean missile launch we told you about Monday. U.S. officials say the weekend test showed the communist country`s missile program has become more advanced and more dangerous. But they also say that America and its Asian allies have defense systems in place that can shot down North Korean missiles.

下一條新聞是關(guān)于朝鮮發(fā)射導彈，在周一的新聞中，美國官員表示，上周末的測試顯示，朝鮮的導彈變得更加先進，危險系數(shù)也增加。同時，還表示，美國和亞洲盟友的導彈防御系統(tǒng)已經(jīng)到位，可擊落朝鮮的導彈。

This missile launch by North Korea is the first on President Donald Trump`s watch. It`s also the first in almost four months. We have seen relatively restraint from Pyongyang since just before the U.S. election.

這是特朗普執(zhí)政以來，朝鮮發(fā)射的第一枚導彈，同時也是近四個月來的首枚導彈。我們可以知道，在美國大選開始之前，平壤已經(jīng)相當安分了。

It was an intermediate range missile with improvements. North Korea says that they used a solid fuel engine as opposed to previous times when they used liquid fuel. This is an assessment that was also backed up by South Korean officials.

這是一枚改進的中程導彈。朝鮮表示，新的導彈采用的固態(tài)燃料，而非液態(tài)燃料。韓國官員對此持肯定態(tài)度。

So, what does that mean? It means there are strategic advantages. It means this launch can be made faster as there`s less preparation time that is needed. It also means that it could be a mobile launch, making it far more difficult to detect and track. North Korea callas it the Pukguksong-2, a surface to surface strategic missile which it claims can be tipped with a nuclear warhead.

這意味著什么?這表示戰(zhàn)略性的進步。需要較少的準備時間。也意味著可以進行移動發(fā)射，很難進行追蹤和預測。朝鮮將此枚導彈稱之為“北極星”-2。朝鮮方面稱,此次發(fā)射試驗了“為彈道導彈裝載核彈頭和躲避攔截”的能力。

It is a step forward for Kim Jong-un who is said to have personally directed this test launch, and it also, according to experts, is an important development at a time when the Trump administration`s North Korean policy has yet to be laid out.

據(jù)報道，金正恩親自指導了此次試驗發(fā)射，這又是一步邁進。同時，根據(jù)專家表示，由于在特朗普政府尚未制定對朝計劃，此次行動也會重要的影響。
