特朗普宣佈對朝“戰略忍耐時代”結束

US President Donald Trump on Monday declared the “era of strategic patience” over North Korea had ended at a joint press conference with the Japanese prime minister in Tokyo.

週一，美國總統唐納德特朗普(Donald Trump)在與日本首相安倍晉三(Shinzo Abe)於東京舉行的一場聯合記者招待會上宣佈，針對朝鮮的“戰略忍耐時代”已經終結了。

Mr Trump defended his strong rhetoric against North Korea following 25 years of “weak rhetoric” and said the US would stand in solidarity with the people of Japan against the “North Korean menace”.

特朗普爲他在25年來美國的“軟弱言論”之後對朝採取的強硬言論進行了辯護。他表示，美國將堅定地站在日本人民一邊，應對“朝鮮威脅”。

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said there was “no point in dialogue for the sake of dialogue with North Korea” and said it was time to exert maximum pressure on the country.

安倍晉三表示，“單純爲了與朝鮮對話而與其對話，是毫無意義的。”他還表示，現在到了對該國施加最大限度壓力的時候。

Mr Abe said if it was necessary, Japan would shoot down missiles fired by North Korea.

安倍表示，如有必要，日本將擊落朝鮮發射的導彈。

Mr Trump also met the families of Japanese young people abducted by North Korea during his visit. When asked by a reporter about what would happen to these people if the US were to take military action against North Korea, Mr Trump gave only a vague response, suggesting Kim Jong Un could return the abductees signalling the “start of something very special.”

在訪問中，特朗普還會見了遭朝鮮綁架的日本年輕人的家屬。當一名記者問到假如美國對朝鮮發動軍事行動，這些人會怎麼樣的問題時，特朗普只給了一個含糊的回答，暗示金正恩(Kim Jong Un)可能會放還被綁架者，那預示着“某一非常特別的事情的開始。”
