VOA常速英语2019--美国指责金正恩说的比唱的好听

Fire and Fury...Toward the end of 2017, US President Donald Trump 1 took a harsh stance against North Korea and its leader Jim Jong-un for threatening the United States. And as I said, they will be met with fire, fury and frankly 2, power, the likes of which this world has never seen before. Thank you.

《火与怒》大戏上演。2017年末，美国总统特朗普对朝鲜及其领导人金正恩采取了强硬立场，原因是他们威胁美国。我已经说过，朝鲜政府及其领导人会得到的回应是怒火与美国力量的展现，这阵仗将会是史无前例的。谢谢大家。

After North Korea successfully tested its Wasps 3 on 15 missiles which Pyongyang says can strike the United States, Kim pivoted 4 toward a policy of engagement with the world. Since then, there hasn’t been an intercontinental ballistic missile or nuclear test in over a year. What the world has seen as Kim’s sister, Kim Yo Jong represent North Korea at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics in South Korea alongside US Vice 5 President Mike Pence. In April, South Korean President Moon Jae-in held the first of three summits with Kim, with the pair agreeing to work toward denuclearization, ease military tensions and improve inter-Korean relations.

在朝鲜成功测试了15枚其声称可以击败美国的“黄蜂”导弹后，金正恩开始转向与世界对话的政策。从那以后，有一年多的时间里，都没有再进行过洲际弹道导弹试验或者核试验。全球共同见证了金正恩的妹妹金与正代表朝鲜出席2018年平昌冬奥会，跟美国副总统迈克·彭斯相邻而坐。4月，韩国总统文在寅与金正恩举行了首次峰会，这样的会晤迄今为止已有3次。那次峰会上，双方同意为无核化目标共同努力，同时一道缓和军事紧张的态势并促进朝韩关系。

Their third summit in September brought about concrete plans to promote economic gains between the two countries and reduce the chances of skirmishes. There was a historic meeting in June between Trump and Kim in Singapore, the first meeting ever between a North Korean leader and a sitting US president. The Asan Institute’s Seong Whun Cheon downplayed the importance of the summits, criticizing the lack of concrete outcomes.

双方的第二次峰会在9月召开，会上提出了具体的计划以促进两国经济增长并减少摩擦的可能性。6月，历史性会晤特金会在新加坡召开，这是朝鲜领导人与美国在职总统的首次会晤。峨山政策研究所的Seong Whun Cheon认为峰会的重要性没那么大，他还对峰会没有实质性成果颇有微词。

My point is they are not big moments, moments. It’s looking good. It’s a window window-dressing without any substance. Since the third inter-Korean summit in September, North Korea’s denuclearization talks have stalled, and their future remains 6 unknown as 2019 approaches. You’re on a crew with the Institute for North Korean Studies sees a number of possible scenarios 8. I think the best scenario 7 for everybody is Kim Jong-un changes his mind and becomes serious about denuclearization. Analysts 9 say the path toward North Korean denuclearization is a long one and a progress continues to stall. Tensions could once more rise to previous levels on the peninsula.

我认为，这些都不是什么大事件。看起来光鲜亮丽，但都是故弄玄虚，没什么内容。自朝韩峰会于9月召开以来，朝鲜就不再讨论无核化的问题。眼看2019就要来临，但朝鲜未来的走向却依然未知。您与朝鲜研究所的工作人员可以看到许多可能性。我觉得皆大欢喜的结果是：金正恩改变主意，并慎重考虑无核化。多位分析师认为，朝鲜的无核化之路漫漫，而且一推再推。朝鲜半岛可能重蹈此前剑拔弩张的覆辙。
