福克斯新闻 特朗普宣布执政来最艰难决定

President Trump¹ discussing on SiriusXM the successful cruise missile bombing two weeks ago of a Syrian military airfield²:

特朗普总统在天狼星卫星电台(SiriusXM)讨论了两周前成功发射巡航导弹轰炸叙利亚一个军用飞机场的行动：

(President Trump) “But I’ll tell you it’s tough because you don’t know that’s going to happen. Is one going to go haywire and will end up in a city or end up in a town and kill a lot of people. So you don’t know. But it was an important decision. Not an easy decision to make.”

“但是我必须告诉你，这是艰难的决定，因为后果难以预料。是否有一枚导弹出现故障，可能会落在城市或小镇，造成许多人死亡。所以，你不知道。但是这是非常重要的决定，并不是容易做出的决定。”

The President also discussing the ongoing³ tensions with North Korea, saying that “we have to be prepared for the worst,” and declined to rule out military action.

总统还讨论了与朝鲜之间的持续紧张关系，称“我们必须做好最坏的打算”，而且拒绝排除采取军事行动的可能性。

Congress, meanwhile, is moving on a separate front to apply new sanctions against Pyongyang.

与此同时，国会也采取了单独行动，准备对平壤实施新的制裁。
