美国国务卿本周晚些时候将会见朝鲜高级官员，以讨论美国和朝鲜领导人之间可能举行的会晤。
The planned visit is the latest in a group of diplomatic moves among countries with ties to the issue of North Korea's nuclear weapons.
此次计划访问是与朝鲜核问题有关的国家最新的一次外交行动。
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will meet with the vice chairman of North Korea's ruling party, Kim Yong Chol. Kim is also a former intelligence chief for the North. South Korea's Yonhap news agency reports that Kim is expected to travel to New York City on Wednesday.
美国国务卿蓬佩奥将会见朝鲜执政党副主席金英哲。金英哲同时也是朝鲜前情报首长。韩国联合通讯社报道称，预计金英哲将于周三前往纽约。
The development followed President Donald Trump's tweet early Tuesday. The president noted Kim Yong Chol's visit, calling it a "solid response" to his letter. Trump was referring to a letter he sent last week to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un cancelling a planned meeting in Singapore on June 12. The meeting had been scheduled to permit Trump and Kim to discuss the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
这些进展发生在川普总统周二早些时候的推特之后。川普提到了金英哲的来访，称这是对他的信的“坚定回应。”川普提到的是他上周致信朝鲜领导人金正恩取消原定于6月12日在新加坡举行的会晤。这次会晤原本计划让川普和金正恩讨论朝鲜半岛无核化问题。
On, off, on?
会晤，取消，再会晤？
After Trump canceled the meeting, North Korean state media have reported on Kim's "fixed will" that the summit with Trump go forward. And now, the Trump administration says preparations for the summit are continuing.
在川普宣布取消这次会晤之后，朝鲜官方媒体报道了金正恩同川普继续会晤的不变意愿。而川普政府现在表示，这次会晤的筹备工作正在继续进行。
The White House press secretary said officials from both sides held talks Sunday in the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, "They plan to have additional meetings this week" at the border area of Panmunjom.
白宫新闻秘书桑德斯表示，双方官员周日在朝韩非军事区举行了会谈。桑德斯说："有关官员计划本周在板门店村再次进行会晤。”
She added that the "U.S. continues to actively prepare" for the Trump-Kim summit.
她补充说，”美国继续在积极筹备“川金会。
Trump tweeted, "We have put a great team together for our talks with North Korea. Meetings are currently taking place concerning Summit, and more."
川普发推称：”我们已经组建了一个伟大的团队来参与同朝鲜会谈。与峰会有关的会议正在举行，同时还会举行更多。“
The Trump administration said that U.S. officials traveled to Singapore on Sunday to plan for the previously planned leaders meeting.
川普政府表示，美国官员周日前往了新加坡筹备先前计划的领导人会晤。

韩国总统文在寅可能也试图同美国总统以及朝鲜领导人在新加坡会面。首尔政府一位官员周一提出了这种可能性。
The suggestion follows a surprise meeting between the South Korean president and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Moon said Kim is still committed to "complete denuclearization" of the Korean Peninsula.
这一迹象发生在朝韩两国领导人一次令人意外的会面之后。文在寅表示，金正恩仍然致力于朝鲜半岛彻底无核化。
