美國五角大樓再次發佈朝鮮軍事能力報告
A new Pentagon report concludes that North Korea "is committed to developing a long-range, nuclear-armed missile that is capable of posing a direct threat to the United States."
五角大樓最新出爐的報告顯示，朝鮮“正致力於研發遠程核導彈，這會對美國造成直接威脅”。The report, required by law, updates Congress regularly on the status of and changes in North Korea's military capabilities.
根據相關法律要求，這份報告需要定期向美國國會更新朝鮮軍事能力的現狀和改變。While the report, released Friday, was written prior to Pyongyang's recent nuclear test and satellite launch, it underscores the regime's devotion of large amounts of funding to modernizing its military forces and weapons arsenals.
這份報告於週五發佈，是在平壤最近的核試驗和衛星發射之前寫的。報告中寫道，朝鮮當局動用大筆資金來使其軍事力量和武器庫進行現代化發展。
The report also singles out North Korea's Special Operations forces. It calls them "among the most highly trained, well-equipped, best fed and highly motivated" forces in North Korean leader Kim Jung Un's military.
此外，這份報告還專門提到了朝鮮的特種部隊。報告指出其是朝鮮領導人金正恩所擁有的“最訓練有素，最裝備精良，享用最好的資源並且士氣高昂的”軍事力量。North Korea's Special Operations forces "operate in specialized units, including reconnaissance, airborne and seaborne insertion, commandos and other specialties," the report finds.
報告中指出，朝鮮特種部隊是“專門針對特種作戰設計的，包括偵查，空中和海上的插入作戰，突擊以及其他特種作戰”。Defense Secretary Ash Carter discussed concerns about North Korea's military last week in Washington. "Every single day we are watching that DMZ," he said, referring to the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. There are about 27,000 U.S. troops stationed in South Korea.
美國國防部長艾什·卡特上週在華盛頓就朝鮮的軍事方面的顧慮進行了討論。“我們每一天都在盯着非軍事區。”他說。他指的非軍事區是朝鮮和韓國之間的地帶。在韓國領域駐紮了大約27000名美軍。In recent testimony to Congress, CIA Director John Brennan referred to Kim's interested in demonstrating his nuclear and intercontinental ballistic missile capacity to the world. "He wants to showcase (this capacity) as a way to demonstrate his strength, but also as a way to help to market some of his proliferation capabilities," he said.
在最近的國會聽證會上，中情局局長約翰·布倫南專門提到了金正恩非常樂於展示他的核武器以及能打到世界各地的洲際彈道導彈。“他想要通過展示（這種軍事能力）來顯示他的強大，同時對推銷他影響力的擴散大有幫助。”他說。
