美國公民米勒形容在朝鮮的勞教生活

An American man sentenced to six years of hard labor in North Korea is describing his new life of isolation in the reclusive, communist state.

Matthew Miller spoke with the Associated Press on Thursday, the first day of his prison sentence after being convicted of "hostile" acts against the state.

Sporting a shaved head and gray prison clothes, Miller said he is forced to work eight hours a day digging fields, but that his health has not deteriorated.

North Korea is also holding two other Americans. It is believed to be seeking a high-level visit from a U.S. official to help secure their release.在朝鮮被判處六年勞教的美國公民馬修·米勒在接受媒體訪問時形容他在共產主義國家朝鮮與外界隔離的獄中生活。

米勒星期四接受美聯社訪問，這是朝鮮當局以從事反朝敵對活動罪判他有罪之後，米勒服刑的第一天。

米勒理着平頭，身穿灰色囚服，他說，他被強迫工作一天翻地八小時，但是他的身體健康沒有惡化。

米勒說，他已經向第一夫人米歇爾奧巴馬以及國務卿克里以及前國務卿希拉里寫信求助。

朝鮮目前還扣留其他兩名美國公民。據信朝鮮希望尋求通過美國高層官員的訪問來爭取他們的釋放。
