The top U.S. military officer, Admiral Mike Mullen, says he has seen no indication that North Korea will conduct a missile test this weekend, to coincide with the U.S. Independence Day celebration.
美国高级军事官员马伦上将表示，他没有看到迹象说明北韩要在这星期美国独立纪念日进行导弹试验。
North Korea has marked American holidays in the past with a nuclear test and missile launches, and it has indicated it will conduct another long-range missile test soon.
北韩过去曾经在美国假日进行核弹测试和发射导弹。北韩最近暗示它即将进行另一次远程导弹测试。
But on his flight home from a trip to Europe, Admiral Mullen told reporters North Korean leader Kim Jung Il has given no particular signal that he will order the test this weekend.
然而，美国参谋长联席会议主席马伦上将在结束欧洲访问搭机返美的路上告诉记者，北韩领导人金正日没有发出特别信号表示他将下令在这周末进行导弹测试。
"No indication, but he did not give us any indication before either," he said. "So, I think North Korea is fairly unpredictable in that regard. What I would hope is that the international community stays strong on these sanctions and that somehow a message gets to the leadership of North Korea that there has got to be a better path here."
他说：“没有迹象，但是他过去也没有给我们任何迹象。所以，我认为北韩在这方面是相当难以预测的。我希望的就是国际社会维持强硬的制裁，这至少会给北韩领导层一个讯息，让北韩领导层知道这里必须有更好的途径来解决问题。”
The U.N. Security Council passed its strongest resolution yet against North Korea two weeks ago, condemning 1 its nuclear test in May and ordering it to abandon its missile program. The resolution also authorized 2 the inspection 3 of ships suspected of carrying nuclear or missile supplies to or from North Korea.
两星期前，联合国安全理事会决议，谴责北韩在5月的核弹测试，并且命令北韩放弃它的导弹计划。这是联合国到目前为止对北韩通过的最强的制裁决议。这项决议同时授权检查从北韩出入被怀疑载运核或导弹供应的北韩船只。
The United States has put its missile defense 4 system on alert, but Admiral Mullen says he has seen no sign in the past few days of any significant change in North Korean preparations for a launch.
美国也提高了导弹防御系统为警戒状态。然而马伦上将表示，在过去几天里他没有看见北韩在准备发射导弹方面有任何重大变化。
