　　朝鲜举行反韩集会威胁发动“圣战”

　　Defiant North Korea Holds Anti-South Rally

　　Tens of thousands of North Koreans gathered in Pyongyang’s central square on Friday to protest South Korea’s government, which has been sharply critical of the North’s failed rocket launch last week.

　　数以万计的朝鲜民众星期五聚集在平壤中心广场，抗议韩国政府强烈批评朝鲜上周失败的火箭发射一事。

　　State television footage showed a massive crowd of soldiers and civilians waving their fists and chanting slogans against South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, as a giant picture stood in the middle of the crowd depicting the leader’s throat being slit.

　　朝鲜国家电视台的画面显示，大批士兵和民众挥舞着拳头，高呼反对韩国总统李明博的口号。人群中间摆放着李明博的喉咙被撕裂的一幅巨幅照片。

　　North Korea has threatened to wage a "sacred war" against President Lee’s government unless he apologizes for suggesting last week that Pyongyang would rather spend millions of dollars on weapons than on food for its poverty-stricken population.

　　朝鲜威胁对李明博政府发动“圣战”，除非李明博就上周的言论道歉。李明博暗示，平壤宁愿花费数百万美元制造武器，而不愿为贫困人口提供粮食。

　　On Thursday, the North’s official Korean Central News Agency quoted space agency officials as saying Pyongyang will continue to launch the satellites "one after another," disregarding international condemnation of its failed launch.

　　星期四，朝鲜官方的朝中社援引太空署官员的话说，不管国际社会如何谴责其失败的发射，朝鲜将继续“一个接一个”地把卫星送入太空。

　　The defiant statement said scientists have already discovered what caused the rocket to fail barely a minute into its flight last Friday. It did not give a time frame for its next rocket launch.

　　这份挑衅性的声明说，科学家们已经发现了导致上周五火箭发射后仅一分钟就失败的原因，但没有提供下次发射火箭的时间。

　　参加口译考试的同学们在平时要积累大量素材，尤其是像上文这样的双语时事内容。帮助同学们练习。
