聯合國安理會將投票表決對朝鮮實施新制裁
The United Nations Security Council is set to vote Wednesday on new sanctions against North Korea aimed at cutting off funding for its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
聯合國安理會預計星期三投票表決對朝鮮實施新的制裁，目的是切斷朝鮮核武器和彈道導彈項目的資金。
The session is expected to include remarks from U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who rarely attends council votes.
很少參加安理會投票的聯合國祕書長潘基文可能在會議上講話。
Previous Security Council resolutions have demanded North Korea abandon its nuclear weapons program and not conduct any nuclear tests or launches of ballistic missiles. But North Korea has repeatedly defied the world body during the past decade, including with its latest nuclear test in September.
以前的安理會決議要求朝鮮放棄核武器項目，不再進行覈實驗或發射彈道導彈。但是朝鮮過去十年裏一再無視聯合國決議，包括九月份剛進行的一次核試驗。
The new sanctions would include capping North Korea's coal exports, which a U.S. official said would amount to cutting the country's single largest source of external revenue by 60 percent, or as much as $700 million per year.
新的制裁將包括限制朝鮮煤炭出口。一位美國官員說，這項制裁將把朝鮮最大的外匯收入來源減少60%，相當於每年7億美元。
There would also be a ban on exports of certain metals such as copper, nickel, silver and zinc that bring North Korea more than $100 million a year.
制裁還包括銅、鎳、銀和鋅等金屬出口，這些金屬出口每年給朝鮮賺取1億多美元。
Some 11 North Korean officials and 10 entities involved in the nuclear and ballistic missile programs would be added to the list of those designated for travel bans and asset freezes.
約11名朝鮮官員和10個機構由於參與核武器和彈道導彈項目也將被補充列入禁止旅行和財產凍結的名單上。
The measure also targets imported luxury goods favored by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and other officials, banning carpets and tapestries worth more than $500 and fine china and porcelain tableware valued at more than $100.
制裁的目標還包括朝鮮領導人金正恩和其他官員熱衷的奢侈品進口，禁止價格500美元以上的地毯和裝飾布料，價格100美元以上的瓷器餐具。
The U.S. and South Korea joined with China, Russia, Japan and North Korea in six-party talks aimed at curbing the North Korean nuclear weapons program in exchange for aid, but those negotiations broke down in 2009.
美國、韓國、中國、俄羅斯、日本與朝鮮舉行的六方會談目的是要朝鮮停止核武器項目來換取援助，但是六方會談在2009年破裂。
