“今天上午，朝鲜试图从咸镜道南部新浦地区测试一枚种类不明的导弹，不过我们认为此次发射失败了，”韩国在一份声明中指出。

It wasn’t immediately clear if North Korea had attempted to test an intercontinental ballistic missile, which could travel over the Pacific Ocean and reach the United States. The nation’s leader, Kim Jung Un, had recently said his military was close to conducting such a test. Donald Trump, the US president, warned that he was prepared to act if North Korea became more aggressive.

目前还不清楚朝鲜是否试图测试一枚能横跨太平洋并能到达美国的洲际弹道导弹。朝鲜领导人金正恩最近表示，他的军队接近于进行这样的一次测试。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普提出警告，如果朝鲜继续挑衅，他将准备采取行动。

The attempted missile launch heightens what was already one of the tensest times on the Korean peninsula since North Korea began working to build nuclear weapons and intercontinental missiles.

自从朝鲜开始制造核武器和洲际导弹，朝鲜半岛的局势就一度紧张，朝鲜此次试图发射导弹使已经紧张不安的局面进一步恶化。
