如果平壤廢除停戰協議,韓國誓言做出有力而果斷的反應
South Korea's defense ministry is vowing a "strong and decisive" response if North Korea follows through on its threat to break a 60-year-old armistice.
韓國國防部誓言，如果朝鮮將其有關廢除已經存在60年之久的停戰協定的威脅付諸實施，韓國方面就要做出“有力而果斷”的反應。General Kim Yong-hyun on Wednesday said Seoul is prepared to attack both the "source of the aggression" and its "commanding element" if North Korea uses military force.
金容鉉將軍星期三說，首爾已經做好準備，如果朝鮮動用軍事力量，韓國就將打擊“侵略的源頭”及其“指揮部”。On Tuesday, a senior North Korean military official said Pyongyang would next week disregard the 1953 ceasefire that ended the Korean war, citing a U.S.-led drive for sanctions and ongoing military exercises between Seoul and Washington.
星期二，一名朝鮮高層軍事官員說，鑑於以美國爲首的制裁朝鮮行動以及首爾和華盛頓目前進行的軍事演習，平壤將於下星期廢除結束韓戰的1953年停戰協定。
It is not unusual for North Korea to issue such threats during times of heightened tension on the Korean peninsula. But analysts say the latest threats may be more serious, because they were made by a high-ranking official, and came with a deadline.
在朝鮮半島局勢緊張時，朝鮮常常會發出這類威脅。但分析人士說，由於最近的這次威脅出自一名高官之口，而且指明最後期限，因此可能更加嚴重。
