CCTV9英语新闻：朝鲜威胁要发动“新形式”的核试验_在线英语听力室

(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has threatened to carry out a "new form of nuclear test" in response to US President Barack Obama’s visit to Asia.

The country's official KCNA news agency quoted a Foreign Ministry¹ statement, saying the US has brought "the dark clouds of nuclear war to the country". It says the DPRK will continue to bolster² its nuclear deterrent³, and carry out a "new form of nuclear test" as part of its inviolable right to self-defense.

The statement also blasted Obama’s tour, calling it "dangerous", aimed at tightening⁴ the US grip on the Asia-Pacific and bringing confrontation⁵ to the region. The DPRK conducted nuclear tests in 2006, 2009 and 2013, despite an international test ban, sanctions, and strong criticism.
