CNN News: 中國(guó)強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)薩德入韓

The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense or THAAD is a missile defense system. It uses missile to stop missiles.

戰(zhàn)區(qū)高空區(qū)域防御系統(tǒng)(簡(jiǎn)稱THAAD)是一個(gè)用于阻止導(dǎo)彈的導(dǎo)彈防御系統(tǒng)。

And the U.S. has deployed the first components of a THAAD system to South Korea. Why? Because North Korea, which is a rival of both the South and the U.S., has been test-launching missiles of its own lately and the THAAD system could potentially be used in self-defense.

美國(guó)已經(jīng)將THAAD的第一部分組件部署到了韓國(guó)。朝鮮是美國(guó)和韓國(guó)共同的敵人。近期朝鮮一直在測(cè)試自己的導(dǎo)彈發(fā)射系統(tǒng)，THAAD系統(tǒng)可以用于自衛(wèi)。

In a clear example of how tensions have been rising in the Korean Peninsula and abroad, China is getting involved in this. It`s North Korea`s only real ally in the world and it`s telling North Korea to suspend its nuclear weapons program which other countries consider illegal. The Chinese officials are also strongly opposed to the U.S. sending a THAAD system to South Korea. They believe it could be used to monitor potential missile launches from China as well.

很明顯朝鮮半島以及周圍的緊張局勢(shì)一直在加劇。中國(guó)也涉獵其中。中國(guó)向朝鮮表示，希望其終止研發(fā)核武器，其他國(guó)家認(rèn)為朝鮮研發(fā)核武器是違法的。中國(guó)官員強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)美國(guó)在韓國(guó)部署THAAD系統(tǒng)。因?yàn)樵撓到y(tǒng)也可能會(huì)監(jiān)測(cè)來自中國(guó)的導(dǎo)彈。

How exactly does a THAAD system work and could it be effective against ICBMs, intercontinental ballistic missiles?

THAAD系統(tǒng)究竟是如何工作的，以及它是如何有效的對(duì)抗洲際彈道導(dǎo)彈呢?
