朝鮮試射導彈 顯示技術進步
North Korea's latest missile tests indicate the Kim Jong Un government is continuing to advance its ballistic missile technology, in defiance of United Nations sanctions.
朝鮮最近的導彈試射顯示金正恩政府無視聯合國制裁，繼續研發彈道導彈技術。
Pyongyang conducted its fifth and sixth test of the intermediate-range Musudan missile on Wednesday from the coastal city of Wonsan. U.S. and South Korean military officials said the first missile failed shortly after it was launched but the second missile flew approximately 400 kilometers before falling into the Sea of Japan.
星期三，平壤從沿海城市元山進行了朝鮮的第5次和第6次舞水端中程導彈試射。美國和韓國軍事官員說，第1枚導彈在發射後不久即宣告失敗，但第2枚導彈在飛行大約400公里後，才落入日本海水域。
The last missile tested did not reach the 3,000-kilometer distance the Musudan is designed for, to potentially reach U.S. military bases in Asia and the Pacific. It apparently also did not demonstrate the atmospheric re-entry capability needed to accurately hit a target. But analysts said North Korea continues to learn from each failure and is making advancements with each new test.
最後一次試射沒有達到舞水端導彈3000公里的設計射程，這種導彈具有涵蓋美國亞太軍事基地的潛力。看來舞水端導彈也沒有展示出重入大氣層的能力，而必須具備這種能力，才能精準打擊目標。但分析人士說，朝鮮繼續從失敗中學習，每次新的試射都有進步。
According to South Korean media, North Korea is believed to have up to 30 Musudan missiles, which officials said were first deployed around 2007. The first Musudan test occurred in April of this year.
韓國媒體說，據信朝鮮擁有多達30枚舞水端導彈，從2007年左右開始進入部署。朝鮮于今年4月首次試射舞水端導彈。
U.N. Security Council resolutions ban North Korea from using ballistic missile technology and developing nuclear weapons. The United Nations imposed tough new sanctions on North in March for conducting its fourth nuclear test and launching a long-range rocket.
聯合國安理會通過決議，禁止朝鮮使用彈道導彈技術和發展核武器。朝鮮進行第4次核試驗併發射一枚遠程火箭後，聯合國對朝鮮實施了新的嚴厲制裁。
Tokyo said it would issue a strong protest against North Korea for its latest violation of United Nations resolutions.
東京表示，將對朝鮮違反聯合國決議提出強烈抗議。
South Korea called the missile test a clear provocation “against us” and urged Pyongyang to exercise restraint.
韓國把朝鮮試射導彈視爲針對韓國的挑釁，並敦促平壤約束自己的行爲。
U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby condemned the launch, and said the United States intended to "raise our concerns at the U.N. to bolster international resolve in holding the DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) accountable for these provocative actions."
美國國務院發言人柯比譴責朝鮮試射導彈，並表示美國準備在聯合國提出對這一事態的關注，增強國際社會的決心，讓朝鮮爲自己的挑釁行爲負責。
