韓國 朝鮮下一次核試驗隨時可能發生

South Korea's Defense Ministry warned Monday that North Korea could conduct another nuclear test at any time.

韓國國防部星期一警告說，朝鮮有可能隨時進行另一次核試驗。

Spokesman Moon Sang-gyun declined to give more information beyond saying a potential test could take place in an unused tunnel at the Punggy-ri site where North Korean has previously carried out tests in its effort to develop nuclear warheads that can fit on a missile.

韓國國防部發言人文相均表示，朝鮮有可能在豐溪里核試驗場的一條未使用過的隧道進行核試驗，除此之外，沒有提供更多的信息。朝鮮先前一直在這個地點從事核試驗，發展與導彈相匹配的核彈頭。

The latest test happened Friday. It was the fifth that North Korea has done and the most powerful to date.

最近一次核試驗發生在上週五。這是朝鮮的第五次，也是迄今威力最強的一次核試驗。

The U.N. Security Council denounced the test, saying it was a flagrant violation of sanctions imposed during the past decade in response to North Korea's nuclear activity. A council statement pledged to work on "appropriate measures" in response.

聯合國安理會對此提出譴責，說這是公然違反了過去10年針對朝鮮核活動而實施的制裁。安理會發表聲明，承諾要採取“適當措施”作爲迴應。

At a U.S.-South Korea defense meeting Monday in Seoul, South Korean Deputy Defense Minister for Policy Yoo Jeh-seung said the biggest threat to the alliance between those two nations is North Korean leader Kim Jong Un who considers nuclear weapons "tools of survival for the regime."

星期一，在首爾舉行的美韓防務會議上，韓國國防部政策副部長柳濟勝說，美韓兩國聯盟最大的威脅是朝鮮領導人金正恩，因爲他認爲核武器是“朝鮮政權生存的工具。”

The U.S. and South Korea joined with China, Russia, Japan and North Korea in six-party talks aimed at curbing the North Korean nuclear weapons program in exchange for aid, but those negotiations broke down in 2009.

美國、韓國、中國、俄羅斯、日本以及朝鮮的六方會談旨在以援助作爲交換條件來遏制朝鮮的核武器項目，但是談判2009年以失敗告終。
