Wednesday's 'important report' report came after KCNA on Monday and Tuesday issued two items that described a major shake-up in the leadership of the North's military.

周三发布“重要资讯之前，朝中社于周一和周二发布两条消息，宣布了朝鲜军方领导层的重大调整。

Also, several reports last week showed the country's new leader, Mr. Kim's son Kim Jong Eun, with a female companion who might be his wife attending a concert with rock music and imitation Walt Disney Co. characters. Some observers considered those developments to signal a more modern style, and perhaps open mind, by Mr. Kim than his father ever displayed.

另外，上周的多篇报道显示，朝鲜新的最高领导人、金正日之子金正恩(Kim Jong Eun)在一名女子陪同下参加了一场有摇滚音乐与仿冒迪士尼卡通人物的音乐会，这名女子可能是他的夫人。一些观察家说，这些事态发展暗示金正恩比他的父亲更富现代气息，思维也有可能更加开放。

Amid all that, the approximately 53 minutes between KCNA's promotion of news and actual reporting of news brought to the surface the fact of life that South Koreans live with but rarely acknowledge─they are neighbors to a place that someday will undergo a tectonic change that will affect them as much as it does the people in the North.

正由于上述这些原因，在朝中社周三预告将发布重要资讯与实际发布资讯之间相隔的这大约53分钟，让人注意到韩国人实际面对、但他们很少承认的一个现实：他们的邻国将在某一天发生巨变，这种巨变对韩国人的影响，将不亚于对朝鲜人民的影响。
