聯合國一官員稱中美就制裁朝鮮達成一致

The United States and China have reached an agreement on a new U.N. Security Council draft resolution aimed at punishing North Korea, a Security Council diplomat told CNN on Wednesday. The resolution is going to be described as the toughest yet on Pyongyang.

一位聯合國安理會外交官上週三告訴記者，中國和美國已經就一項旨在制裁朝鮮的新聯合國安理會決議草案達成一致意見。該決議將成爲對朝鮮迄今爲止最嚴厲的制裁。

The text of the draft is not yet available but the document will likely be voted in by the full Security Council "in a couple of days," once other nations have an opportunity to weigh in on the language, according to the diplomat.

該外交官透露，草案內容還未公佈，但是文件很有可能在一兩天內由全體安理會成員投票決定，其他國家都有一次機會權衡其措辭。

"There were a significant number of blockage points between the (United States and China) ... but there is an agreement between those two countries," the diplomat said.

這名外交官說道：“中美之間有相當多的意見衝突，但是兩國之間還是達成了一項共識。”

In January, Pyongyang claimed to have successfully tested a hydrogen bomb in its fourth nuclear test.

一月份，朝鮮宣佈其第四次核試驗中的氫彈測試成功。

U.S. officials were initially skeptical of the claim, but later assessed that there may have been a partial, failed test of some type of components associated with a hydrogen bomb. Then on February 7, Pyongyang said it had successfully launched an Earth satellite into orbit via the long-range Kwangmyongsong carrier rocket. Both the test and the launch were carried out in defiance of international sanctions.

起初，美國官員對此持懷疑態度，但在經過評估後，他們認爲或許有部分失敗氫彈關聯部件的測試。之後的2月7日，朝鮮稱其通過遠程運載火箭光明星號成功發射了一顆人造地球衛星。氫彈試驗和此次衛星發射都是對國際制裁的蔑視。

Also Wednesday, National Security Adviser Susan Rice met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi at the White House.

同樣在週三，美國國家安全顧問蘇珊·賴斯和中國外長王毅於白宮會面。

They agreed "on the importance of a strong and united international response to North Korea’s provocations, including through a U.N. Security Council Resolution that goes beyond previous resolutions," read a statement from National Security Council spokesman Ned Price. "They agreed that they will not accept North Korea as a nuclear weapons state."

美國國安會發言人內德·普萊斯發表的聲明表示，兩國“就對朝鮮的挑釁行爲須有強有力且團結一致的國際迴應達成共識，其中包括通過一項比先前更嚴厲的聯合國安理會協議。兩國都表示，他們將不會接受朝鮮作爲核武器國家的存在。”
