朝鮮強硬迴應美韓部署"薩德" 將進行武力應對

North Korea has threatened a "physical response" after the US and South Korea announced an agreement to deploy an advanced missile defence system.

日前，美國和韓國宣佈達成了一份協議，將在韓國部署先進的薩德導彈防禦系統，而朝鮮做出的迴應是威脅要採取“物理性措施”。

The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system would be solely to counter the threat from Pyongyang. It is not yet clear when the system would be deployed, where it would be sited and who would have final control.

據悉，終端高空區域防禦系統（THAAD，薩德）將會只針對來自朝鮮的威脅。目前還不清楚薩德何時將會被部署、將會部署在什麼地方、何人將會持有最終控制權力。

A statement by the military in North Korean state media sets out the "unwavering will of our army to deal a ruthless retaliatory strike."

朝鮮官方媒體發佈了一份軍方的聲明，表示出了“我軍進行無情報復打擊的堅定意願”。

The rhetoric is normally ratcheted up at times of high tension. When the US imposed sanctions on North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, Pyongyang described the Move as an "open declaration of war".

在半島緊張局勢高漲的時候，朝鮮方面的措辭通常都會被加強。當美國對朝鮮領導人金正恩施加制裁的時候，平壤方面稱這一舉措是“公開宣戰”。

Just one day after the announcement about THAAD the North test-fired a ballistic missile from a submarine off its eastern coast, but South Korea's military says the launch was a failure.

在THAAD宣佈僅僅一天之後，朝鮮方面在其東海岸一艘潛艇上測試發射了一枚彈道導彈，但是韓國軍方表示說這次發射失敗了。

The THAAD system is also opposed by Beijing and Moscow, who see it as the US hardening its military presence in the region.

中國和俄羅斯也反對在韓國部署薩德，他們認爲這一舉措的目的是美國想要強化自己在該地區的軍事存在。

But the US and South Korea argue it is necessary in the wake of intensifying threats from the North which, although banned from such activity by the UN, has conducted a series of missile tests and in January carried out its fourth nuclear test.

但是美韓堅稱這一舉措是必要的，要以此來弱化朝鮮日益加劇的威脅。儘管聯合國禁止朝鮮從事此類行爲，但是朝鮮方面已經進行了一系列的導彈實驗，並於今年一月進行了第四次核試驗。
