首爾就海岸警衞船沉沒向北京抗議

SEOUL, South Korea — Seoul officials said Monday they’ve lodged a formal complaint with Beijing accusing Chinese fishing boats of ramming and sinking a South Korean coast guard vessel.

韓國首爾——首爾官員週一表示,他們已經向北京提出正式抗議指責中國漁船撞沉了一艘韓國海岸警衞隊船隻。

The sinking happened on Friday when South Korean coast guard officers were trying to stop about 40 Chinese fishing boats from suspected illegal fishing off South Korea’s west coast. No causalities or injuries were reported, according to South Korea’s coast guard.

沉沒發生在週五，當時韓國海岸警衞隊人員試圖阻止大約40艘涉嫌在韓國西海岸非法捕魚的中國漁船。沒有傷亡事件的報告，根據韓國的海岸警衞隊的説法。

One coast guard officer was on the South Korean vessel rammed by two Chinese boats before he jumped into the water and was rescued by his colleagues. Eight fellow coast guard officers boarded a Chinese boat for an inspection, the coast guard said in a statement.

兩艘中國漁船撞擊了這艘韓國警衞隊船隻，當時船上的只有一名韓國軍官，他跳下水被同事救起。當時其八名韓國軍官同事登上了一艘中國漁船進行檢查，海岸警備隊在聲明中説道。
