美国五角大楼再次发布朝鲜军事能力报告
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."
五角大楼最新出炉的报告显示，朝鲜“正致力于研发远程核导弹，这会对美国造成直接威胁”。The report, required by law, updates Congress regularly on the status of and changes in North Korea's military capabilities.
根据相关法律要求，这份报告需要定期向美国国会更新朝鲜军事能力的现状和改变。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.
这份报告于周五发布，是在平壤最近的核试验和卫星发射之前写的。报告中写道，朝鲜当局动用大笔资金来使其军事力量和武器库进行现代化发展。
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，这份报告还专门提到了朝鲜的特种部队。报告指出其是朝鲜领导人金正恩所拥有的“最训练有素，最装备精良，享用最好的资源并且士气高昂的”军事力量。North Korea's Special Operations forces "operate in specialized units, including reconnaissance, airborne and seaborne insertion, commandos and other specialties," the report finds.
报告中指出，朝鲜特种部队是“专门针对特种作战设计的，包括侦查，空中和海上的插入作战，突击以及其他特种作战”。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.
美国国防部长艾什·卡特上周在华盛顿就朝鲜的军事方面的顾虑进行了讨论。“我们每一天都在盯着非军事区。”他说。他指的非军事区是朝鲜和韩国之间的地带。在韩国领域驻扎了大约27000名美军。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.
在最近的国会听证会上，中情局局长约翰·布伦南专门提到了金正恩非常乐于展示他的核武器以及能打到世界各地的洲际弹道导弹。“他想要通过展示（这种军事能力）来显示他的强大，同时对推销他影响力的扩散大有帮助。”他说。
