[2013.04.06]金正恩的轮盘赌

引用 平湖秋月 2013-4-5 11:31

North Korea has yet to order a large-scale mobilisation of its 1.1m-strong army. 这句话的意思是指朝鲜调动军队还是没有调动军队？

引用 _易雪_ 2013-4-5 13:19

这也太速度了啊

Kim Jong Un has raised the stakes; it is time to get tougher with the nastiest regime on the planet
既然金正恩已经抬高了赌注，那么现在就该是对这个最龌龊的政权更加强硬的时候了
金正恩已加大赌注；地球上最邪恶的政权是该得到更严厉的制裁了


to rain missiles on mainland America and military bases in Hawaii and Guam
甚至叫嚣要将导弹倾泻到美国本土以及夏威夷和关岛的军事基地
甚至叫嚣要在……上空制造“导弹雨”

引用 思人siren 2013-4-5 16:14

cult-like commitment of the North's armed forces 没有人会对北韩军队那种类似于邪教的战斗力表示怀疑

朝鲜军队邪教式的决心/献身精神

it's the "commitment" that is "cult-like", not the arm force's performance.

Some 150,000-200,000 North Koreans—individuals and often whole families—rot as political prisoners in a vast gulag.

一边是大约有150000-200000北韩人在忍饥挨饿，一边是大批政治犯被关进集中营。

—individuals and often whole families—

the hyphen explains the nature of the "Some 150,000-200,000 North Koreans", meaning those people are locked up with their whole in name of "political prisoners". they are not two groups of different people defined by "一边····一边····" though all of them must be "忍饥挨饿" in a place like gulag.

15到20万的朝鲜人——通常是一家人——都以政治犯的罪名被关在一个巨大的古拉格/集中营。

引用 思人siren 2013-4-5 16:40

Whereas Kim Jong Il was practised in the calibrated calculation of shaking down the outside world···
金正日的手法是根据情况来降低外界对的计算

be practised in = be skilled in / be expert at

shake down = threaten

金正日擅长适度威胁外界···

引用 马话青 2013-4-5 16:44

谢谢啦，非常好

引用 思人siren 2013-4-5 16:55

she will be tempted to seek nuclear weapons herself

她必定会对由自己开发核武器的想法所打动。

hahaha, why be moved? I really doubt developing nuke is such a moving thought.

tempted to = tend to， no feeling involved. dude.

引用 思人siren 2013-4-5 17:18

insisted that Shanghai accounts in two of its biggest banks, holding hundreds of millions of dollars on behalf of Mr Kim and his cronies, be excluded from the sanctions.
并且还坚持认为应该把北韩最大的两家银行在上海开设的账户从制裁名单中剔除出去，这些账户代表金正恩及其高官等人持有数百万美元的资产

the main body of the sentence is "insists Shanghai be excluded from the sanction", because Shanghai
opens accounts in two of North Korea's biggest bank which holds Kim's money.

“···坚持不要制裁上海，上海在朝鲜最大的两家银行都有户头，手里捏着金和其党羽······”

moreover, hundreds of millions of dollars is definetly  NOT "数百万美元"

引用 思人siren 2013-4-5 17:41

Only connect
唯有沟通

"沟通" does't mak sense in the context, besides "connect" is a little far-fetched from "沟通" since there's a "communication".



Doing so depends partly on Mr Kim's motives. Perhaps aggression···· ·

金正恩是否悬崖勒马部分取决与他自己想干什么。也许，他的灼灼逼人

the content indicated by "so" should mean a immediate reference, thus
doing so = being aggression

金正恩如此咄咄逼人和他的动机有部分关系。

就算要衔接上文，也不是金本人“悬崖勒马”，而是有人帮他不再冒险行动。

不知道“上海”与制裁北韩有什么联系？你看错了吧。
“沟通”本来就是“交换意见” “交流”的意思。

Shanghai doesn't necessarily mean the place, most probably the Shanghai goverment, may invest in two biggest banks in North Koera. That's why China wants to spare this part to protect its interest.

connect = 连接, besides North Korea apprently doesn't want to communicate judging from from the context.

And even without nuclear missiles, conflict on the crowded Korean peninsula would be savage.
同时，即使没有核武器，在这个人口密集的半岛上发生冲突也是一种野蛮的行为。
而且即使不动用核武器，在这个人口密集的半岛上也能发生很激烈的冲突。

The human cost of war would be huge
战争的人力成本是巨大的
战争将造成很大的伤亡

and it would also be curtains for Asia's thriving economy.
同时，战争还可能给正处于繁荣之中的亚洲经济带来灾难。
同时这也意味着亚洲经济繁荣的终止

原句是it appears to have insisted that Shanghai accounts in two of its biggest banks, holding hundreds of millions of dollars on behalf of Mr Kim and his cronies, be excluded from the sanctions.

分解一下  Shanghai accounts
              these accounts was  in two of its biggest banks
             they should  be excluded from the sanctions

请指教，错在何处？

Yet its commitment to enforcing the sanctions seems half-hearted and it appears to have insisted that Shanghai accounts in two of its biggest banks, holding hundreds of millions of dollars on behalf of Mr Kim and his cronies, be excluded from the sanctions.

it's a quotation from the passage, obvious in the articles.

the body of the sentence is "it (which refers to China) insists that Shanghai ····be excluded from the sanction" because Shanghai accounts in two of its biggest banks which holds hundreds of millions····“

that's very considrate of you, especially the second websites.

so I guess it means China insists  two of Kim's bank accounts in Shanghai should be excluded from the sanction, not the other way around.

thanx a lot.

有“灼灼逼人”这个词吗？我用QQ拼音打出来，第一条显示的确是这个，但这并不表示这就是对的。在百度百科上搜只有“咄咄逼人”这个词。
【解释】：咄咄：使人惊奇的声音。形容气势汹汹，盛气凌人，使人难堪。也指形势发展迅速，给人压力。
【出自】：晋·卫铄《与释某书》：“卫有一弟子王逸少，甚能学卫真书，咄咄逼人。”

不过总体翻译得很棒
