VOA常速英语2019--韩国单方面庆祝同朝鲜和好一周年

（单词翻译）

N.Korea Fumes¹, S. Korea Celebrates on Moon-Kim Summit Anniversary

The world was watching in April 2018 when the leaders of the two Koreas shook hands, declared a new era of peace and stepped across each border. That meeting happened at the joint² security area of the Demilitarized Zone. It helps kick off a year of diplomacy³ that is now at a standstill. One year later North Korea is returning to a more aggressive stance and turning its back on its neighbor to the South. That hasn’t stopped South Korea’s celebrating. More than 500 guests were invited to the very same spot on the DMZ with performers from South Korea, the US, China and Japan.

2018年4月，当两国领导人握手，宣布进入和平新时代，并跨越两国边界时，全世界都在关注着。那次会议是在非军事区的联合安全区举行的。两国仅仅开始的一年外交而今已经停滞不前。一年后，朝鲜又回到了更加咄咄逼人的姿态，背弃了它的韩国芳邻。但这并没有阻止韩国的庆祝活动。来自韩国、美国、中国和日本的表演者邀请了500多名嘉宾来到非军事区同一地点。

One country that didn’t participate--North Korea, making it an anniversary with only one side of the marriage celebrating. It’s quite a tricky⁴ time for the South Korean government. They wish to continue the talks but North Korea isn’t paying them much attention. Things have taken a sharp downturn since nuclear talks with the United State’s broke down had a newly established defective⁵ embassy, North Korea officials have skipped high-level meetings for nine consecutive⁶ week.

有一个国家没有参加，那就是朝鲜。结果这个“结婚”一周年纪念只有韩国单方面庆祝。对韩国政府来说，这是一个相当棘手的时期。他们希望继续会谈，但朝鲜没有给予太多关注。自从与美国的核谈判破裂，新成立的有缺陷的大使馆出现问题以来，事态急剧下滑。朝鲜官员连续9周没有参加高层会谈。

Kim Jongun has not followed through on his promise to visit South Korea and North Korean state media are now ramping⁷ up their criticism of the South. In a video statement at the anniversary event, Moon remained positive.

金正恩没有兑现访问韩国的承诺，朝鲜官方媒体现在加大了对韩国的批评力度。而在周年纪念的一份视频声明中，文在寅仍然保持乐观。

This is a new path and we all must take it together. We need sometimes to wait for those moving-slower to catch up. In the face of obstacles sometimes we need to catch our breath for a wile⁸ and find the way together. South Korean officials say they notified the North about the anniversary celebration but they never received a response, instead the North released a statement accusing the US of getting in the way of North-South relations.

这是一条新的道路，我们必须共同走下去。我们有时需要等待那些行动较慢的人赶上来。在面对困难的时候，有时我们需要喘口气，一起寻找出路。韩国官员表示，他们向朝鲜通报了周年纪念活动，但从未收到回应。相反，朝鲜发表声明，指责美国妨碍南北关系。VOA新闻，比尔·加洛在边境村庄板门店报道。
