  • International Community Condemns North Korean Rocket Launch
  • 國際社會譴責朝鮮發射衛星
  •   United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has joined international leaders in condemning North Korea's launch of a long-range rocket that crashed into the sea shortly after liftoff on Friday.
  • 聯合國秘書長潘基文與國際社會其他領導人一樣對朝鮮發射遠程火箭發出譴責;火箭星期五發射後不久落入海中。

  •   Mr. Ban said that despite the failure of the launch, the action was "deplorable" and goes against the "firm and unanimous stance of the international community."
  • 潘基文說,盡管發射失敗,但是行動本身 “令人痛惜”,它違背了國際社會堅定和一致的立場。

  •   The White House also criticized the failed launch.
  • 美國白宮也譴責了這次失敗的火箭發射。

  •   Press Secretary Jay Carney said the move threatens regional security and shows that Pyongyang prefers "wasting its money on weapons and propaganda displays while the North Korean people go hungry."
  • 白宮新聞秘書傑‧卡尼說,這項舉動不僅威脅地區安全,而且還顯示朝鮮政府寧願 “把錢浪費在武器和形象宣傳上,而朝鮮人民卻在忍饑挨餓”。

  •   Western nations are likely to push for further condemnations against North Korea when the U.N. Security Council takes up the issue on Friday ((at 14:00 UTC)).
  • 西方國家很可能會推動讓聯合國安理會對朝鮮做出進一步譴責;安理會星期五將討論這一問題。

  •   But observers say further sanctions against the isolated country are unlikely.
  • 但是觀察人士認為,對這個孤立的國家進行進一步制裁不太可能。
