朝鲜再次进行核试验 国际社会予以强烈反应

For the fourth time since 2006, North Korea has tested a nuclear bomb.

自2006年以来，这是朝鲜第4次试射核武器。

Although international observers have not confirmed the device was what North Korea claims it to have been a miniaturized hydrogen bomb.

尽管国际观察机构仍未对该武器进行证实，但朝鲜对外一直宣称是小型氢弹。

A White House Spokesperson said any kind of nuclear test by North Korea was “provocative and a flagrant violation” of multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions.

白宫一位发言人表示朝鲜任何形式的核试验都是“挑衅且公然违反”联合国安理会的多项决议。

Countries around the world, including the United States, China and Russia,condemned² the test and an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council was called.

包括美国，中国及俄罗斯在内的世界各国都对朝鲜的此次核试验表示谴责，而联合国安全理事会也即刻召开紧急会议。

The Security Council also strongly condemned it, calling the nuclear test by North Korea “a clear threat to international peace and security”and pledging “to begin to work immediately” on “further significant measures” to address the situation.

安理会也强烈谴责这个国家，称朝鲜进行核试验“明显是对国际和平与安全的威胁”并且承诺立即开始工作采取进一步显著措施应对这种情况。

U.S. State Department Spokesperson John Kirby said,“The international community must impose real consequences for the regime’s destabilizing behavior and respond with enhanced pressure.

美国国务院发言人约翰·柯比说道:“国际社会必须让朝鲜政权破坏稳定的行为付出代价并且需要施压。”

The Security Council has a key role to play in holding North Korea accountable by imposing³ a tough, comprehensive, and credible⁴ package of new sanctions,and by ensuring rigorous enforcement of the resolutions it has already adopted.”

联合国安理会在对朝施加艰难的，全面的，可信的一揽子新制裁措施上扮演着重要角色，并且需要确保严格执行已经通过的决议。”

Secretary of State John Kerry spoke¹ with his counterparts both in the region and elsewhere over North Korea’s nuclear test.

国务卿约翰·克里同他的同行们在这个地区及其他地区都在谈论朝鲜此次的核试验。
