美國警告:若朝鮮進行核試驗,將有所“行動”

The Trump administration has signalled it would hold back from any immediate military or diplomatic response to a failed missile launch by North Korea but warned of “other actions” if Pyongyang proceeded with a nuclear test.

特朗普政府發出信號表明，它不會對朝鮮失敗的導彈試射立即作出軍事或外交回應，但警告稱，如果平壤方面進行核試驗，就會有“其他行動”。

National security adviser Lieutenant General HR McMaster cited last week’s US missile strike on a Syrian air base as he said on Sunday that President Donald Trump was “clearly comfortable making tough decisions” and that a range of options were being developed.

美國國家安全顧問、陸軍中將赫伯特?雷蒙德?麥克馬斯特(HR McMaster)週日表示，唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump)總統“顯然敢於做出艱難的決定”，目前美方正在擬定一系列選擇。他提到了上週美國對敘利亞一個空軍基地發動的導彈襲擊。

Separately, a foreign policy adviser travelling to Asia with vice-president Mike Pence said that if it had been a nuclear test, “other actions would have been taken by the US”.

與此同時，隨同美國副總統邁克?彭斯(Mike Pence)出訪亞洲的一名外交政策顧問表示，如果朝鮮進行了核試驗，“美國本來會採取其他行動”。

North Korea test-launched a ballistic missile early on Sunday, with the weapon exploding almost immediately in a failure that came only a day after Pyongyang displayed several new missiles at a huge military parade.

朝鮮在週日較早時候試射了一枚彈道導彈，但其在發射後幾乎立即發生爆炸，而就在此次失敗的前一天，平壤在一場大規模閱兵式上展示了數枚新型導彈。

Tension is rising on the Korean peninsula, with Beijing warning last week that a “storm is about to break” because of rising brinkmanship. Mr Trump has ordered an aircraft carrier group, led by the USS Carl Vinson, to the region, which is expected to arrive this week.

朝鮮半島的緊張局勢正在上升，上週北京警告說，由於有關各方距離懸崖邊緣越來越近，朝鮮半島衝突一觸即發。特朗普已命令美國卡爾文森號航空母艦(USS Carl Vinson)等戰艦開赴朝鮮半島海域，這個航母打擊羣預計本週抵達目的地海域。

隨同彭斯出訪的上述外交政策官員表示，朝鮮週日很可能想要試射一枚中程導彈，他暗示，美國並不預計會做出直接回應。
