韓國放棄與朝鮮談判的希望

South Korean President Park Geun-hye will defend her hardline response to North Korea’s recent nuclear test and rocket launch in an address to the National Assembly in Seoul Tuesday.

韓國總統朴槿惠星期二將在首爾向國會發表演講，爲她在朝鮮最近進行核試驗和發射火箭後所採取的強硬立場提出辯護。

Following North Korea’s recent moves, Park has abandoned virtually any hope of negotiating with the Kim Jong Un government and has joined with allies Washington and Tokyo to step up efforts to coerce Pyongyang to capitulate.

朝鮮最近進行核試驗和發射火箭後，朴槿惠實際上放棄了與金正恩進行談判的任何希望，同時與盟友華盛頓和東京一道加緊向平壤施壓，希望朝鮮就範。

Sunday the Park administration justified closing the jointly run Kaesong Industrial Complex in North Korea last week, saying that 70 percent of the income generated at the complex was used to finance the North’s nuclear program.

朴槿惠政府星期日說，開城工業園區70%的收益被用於爲朝鮮的核項目提供經費，並以此證明關閉該園區是正確的舉措。

The United Nations has banned North Korea from developing nuclear weapons and ballistic missile technology and has imposed four rounds of increasingly stronger sanctions since 2006.

聯合國禁止朝鮮發展核武器和彈道導彈技術。自2006年以來，聯合國已先後4次對朝鮮實施制裁，而且制裁力度不斷加大。
