双语新闻：朝鲜庆祝金日成诞辰 North Korea Marks Birth of Founder

15 April, 2013

朝鲜庆祝建国领袖金日成诞辰101周年。

金日成诞辰是朝鲜最重要的日子，但星期一没有举行军队检阅，也没有计划举行任何大规模庆祝活动的迹象。

韩国处于戒备状态，准备应对朝鲜方面可能为纪念金日成诞辰而做出的挑衅，但朝鲜没有像广泛预料的那样试射弹道导弹，甚至没有试射短程火箭。

上星期，对朝鲜可能试射导弹的担忧情绪蔓延，当时韩国当局说，观察到朝鲜将移动式导弹发射架移至东海岸。

金日成于1994年去世。

North Koreans are celebrating the 101st anniversary of the birth of Kim Il Sung, the founder of North Korea..

On the most important holiday on the North Korean calendar, there was no military parade Monday, and no signs that any large-scale festivities were planned.

Although South Korea was on alert for any provocation to mark the day, the North did not test a ballistic missile or even a short-range rocket, as had been widely anticipated.

Concern about the possibility of such tests spread last week when South Korean authorities said they had seen North Korea moving mobile missile launchers on its east coast.

Kim Il Sung died in 1994.
