随着国际社会试图对朝鲜结束其核武器计划施加更大压力，这种纪念活动也即将来临。

Earlier this week, U.S. President Donald Trump used powerful language to warn North Korea. In a speech to the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday, Trump said that if the U.S. is threatened, in his words, "We will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea." He also called Kim "rocket man," saying he seemed to be on "a suicide mission."
本周早些时候，美国总统川普用强硬措辞警告了朝鲜。川普周二在联合国大会的演讲中表示，如果受到威胁，“除了完全摧毁朝鲜之外我们别无选择。”他还称金正恩是“火箭人，”并称他似乎是在执行“自杀任务。”
On Thursday, Trump signed an executive order permitting the U.S. to sanction individual companies and institutions that do business with North Korea. He announced the action during a working lunch with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
周四，川普签署了一项行政命令，允许美国对那些与朝鲜有业务往来的个别公司和机构实施制裁。他是在同日本首相安倍晋三以及韩国总统文在寅的工作午餐期间宣布了这一举动。
Speaking to the U.N. General Assembly Thursday, Moon said he approved of sanctions being placed on North Korea to help resolve the nuclear conflict. But he urged North Korea to agree to hold talks on the issue to prevent a possible conflict.
文在寅周四在联合国大会上表示，他批准对朝鲜进行制裁以帮助解决核冲突。但他督促朝鲜同意就此问题举行谈判，以预防发生潜在冲突。
Although South Korea is backing sanctions against North Korea, it also decided to move forward with a planned aid package worth $8 million to its communist neighbor.
虽然韩国支持对朝鲜制裁，但是该国还是决定继续推动向这个邻国提供价值8百万美元的一项计划援助。
