朝鲜

North Korea is already one of the most isolated and desperately poor countries in the world.

朝鲜已经是世界上最为孤立和极度贫穷的国家之一了

North Korea, the world's most isolated and secluded country and technically at war with the United States, invited the orchestra to play in the capital of Pyongyang.

期间，纽约爱乐乐团接到朝鲜的邀请，让他们去平壤演出，这是交响乐史上的先例。

While North Korea has stagnated, China's trade with South Korea has mushroomed.

在朝鲜陷于停滞之时，中国与韩国的贸易却蓬勃发展。

Heat exchanger and nuzzled North Korea, a friend like me, neither could protect China, the result is very obvious.

换着朝鲜，像我这样的朋友，中国都不能保护，结果就很明显了。

Yet China is still obfuscating, questioning the independence of the international inquiry – conducted by South Korea, the US, the UK, Australia and Sweden – and reiterating its tired call for stability on the peninsula.

然而，中国仍在闪烁其词，质疑国际调查（由韩国、美国、英国、澳大利亚和瑞典联合进行）的独立性，并重申其呼吁朝鲜半岛稳定的套话。

The main expansion is occurring in Asia, especially Japan, Korea , and China.

主要的增长是在亚洲，尤其是日本、朝鲜和中国。

Her navy, also, if not numerous, contains several first-class war ships; officered by men well trained in European schools; and she has, finally a splendid mercantile marine, the quality of which can be best gauged by the announcement that the sixteen steamships just chartered for the transport of troops to Corea have been taken from a single native company.

日本海军虽说阵容不算庞大，也配备了几艘顶级战舰，由受过欧洲军校良好训练的军官领航。日本有杰出的海上贸易力量，一家当地公司宣称已租出十六艘顶级蒸汽船以载运军队到朝鲜。

The US was on overdriving to solve the Iran nuclear issue and the post-war rebuilding in Iraq, but the sudden announcement of owning nuclear weapons from North Korea was out of the blue and made Bush have a full plate.

美国就核武问题正想方设法在找伊朗的茬，同时又全力以赴投身于伊拉克重建，就在这个时候，朝鲜突然宣布已经研制{本文出自：www.zh ongguokw.cn中国考网。cn}了核武器，这一突变尤如晴天霹雳

They have wheeled out standard language threatening to reduce their southern neighbour to "a sea of fire" and have said they can no longer guarantee the safety of civilian airliners overflying their territory.

他们发布官方声明威胁称，要让韩国陷入&一片火海&，并表示不再保证经过朝鲜领空民用飞机的安全。

However, leaving aside the wisdom of overplaying the strength of the Japan Self-Defense Forces, Aso is certainly right to point out that "nowhere else in the world will you find a country that will launch a test missile squarely over someone else's country," and it would be foolish not to at least attempt to shoot down dangerous missile debris if the North Korean missile does in fact disintegrate above populated Japanese areas.

然而，撇开夸大日本自卫队本领的智慧不谈，麻生太郎指出的&发射一个测试导弹却散落在其他国家，你在世界上再找不出来第二个这样的国家。&——无疑他是对的。而如果朝鲜的导弹确实在日本居民区上空解体，根本不试着击落危险的导弹碎片是非常愚蠢的。

She gently rebuff ed him, but agreed that they could be friends

她婉言拒绝了，但同意作为朋友相处。
