BBC News: 對朝鮮新一輪的制裁又將開始

This the BBC News. Hello, I'm Jonathan Izard. Senators in the US have announced a two-year budget deal to avoid a repeat of last month's government shutdown. The agreement was reached by the leaders of both Republican and Democratic parties, but still needs the approval of Congress. It will increase government spending by hundreds of billions of dollars including on the military and infrastructure. Jeno Bryant reports from Washington. The deal takes a major step towards avoiding a government shutdown when money runs out on Thursday. The two-year solution to the months of budget brinkmanship raises caps on military and domestic spending and increases funding for disaster relief. The bill will not go back to the House where lawmakers will need to approve it before President Trump can sign it into law. But its success is not guaranteed. Some Democrats are angry that it does not address the immigration issues that sparked government shutdown three weeks ago and fiscal conservatives are also angry that it will increase budget deficits.

這里是BBC新聞，大家好，我是喬納森·伊澤德。今天，參議員達成了為期兩年的預(yù)算協(xié)議，避免上個月政府關(guān)門的窘境。這份協(xié)議經(jīng)過了“共民”兩黨領(lǐng)導人同意，但是依然需要國會通過。這份協(xié)議將為政府帶來數(shù)千億美金，其中包括軍事用途和基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施建設(shè)，以下是杰諾·布萊恩特在華盛頓發(fā)回的報道。周四，政府資金即將面臨困難，該協(xié)議對于避免政府關(guān)門打下了堅實一步。幾個月以來，美國一直處在邊緣化預(yù)算狀態(tài)，而此項為其兩年的協(xié)議增加了軍事和基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施建設(shè)的上限，另外救災(zāi)資金也有所增加。該協(xié)議不需要再經(jīng)過眾議院通過，特朗普在簽署之前還需要立法者的同意。但該協(xié)議是否可以順利通過不得而知。許多民主黨對此極為惱火，稱它沒有解決三周前引發(fā)政府關(guān)門的移民問題。另外一些財政保守主義者也對該協(xié)議感到憤怒，因為這將增加預(yù)算赤字。

The Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono says international sanctions against North Korea are starting to bite and will eventually force Pyongyang to negotiate over its nuclear weapon program. But in the BBC interview, he warned that this will take patience. The sanction is not gonna work in days or weeks. It takes months and we just have to be patient. That's the only way. The alternative is some kind of military action which no one wants. Mr. Kono added the Pyongyang's decision to participate in the Winter Olympics in South Korea which start on Friday was one sign that it was feeling the pressure.

日本外相河野太郎稱國際社會對朝鮮的制裁開始生效，并將最終迫使朝鮮協(xié)商其核武器計劃。但是在接受BBC采訪時，他警告道這需要一些耐心。這些制裁不會在幾天或是幾周內(nèi)生效，它將花費幾個月的時間，我們要做的就是耐心等待。這是唯一的方法，另外的方法就是發(fā)動軍事行動，沒有人想要這種結(jié)果。他還提到朝鮮決定參加此次韓國冬奧會，這表明他們已經(jīng)感到了壓力。
