　　The U.N. Security Council on Monday condemned¹ North Korea's most recent missile launches as violations³ of council resolutions, and demanded that Pyongyang comply fully⁴ with its international obligations.
联合国安理会星期一谴责了北韩最新一轮导弹发射，说这一举动违反了安理会各项决议，并要求平壤按照国际准则办事。
The Council President for the month of July, Ugandan Ambassador Ruhakana Rugunda, read a statement from the Council condemning⁵ Saturday's launch of seven ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan. "Members of the Security Council condemned and expressed grave concern at the launches, which constitute a violation² of U.N. Security Council resolutions and pose a threat to regional and international security," he said.
安理会这个月的轮值主席、乌干达驻联合国大使鲁贡达.鲁哈卡纳(Ruhakana Rugunda)宣读了安理会的一份声明，谴责北韩星期六向日本海发射七枚弹道导弹。他说：“安理会成员国对这次发射行为高度关注，并予以强烈谴责；北韩的行为违反了联合国安理会决议案，对区域和国际间的安全都构成了威胁。”
He said Council members are appealing to all parties to refrain from action that could aggravate⁶ the security situation in the region, and he noted⁷ the Council's commitment to resolving the situation through peaceful, diplomatic and political means.
他说，安理会成员国呼吁所有各方保持冷静，不要采取有可能让区域间安全局势更加恶化的行动。他同时指出，安理会仍然希望能够通过和平、外交和政治手段解决问题。
Last month, the Security Council unanimously passed a resolution tightening⁸ existing sanctions and imposing⁹ additional ones, after Pyongyang conducted an underground nuclear test. Among the new measures is one ordering U.N. member states to inspect ships suspected of transporting prohibited weapons and other materials into or out of North Korea.
上个月，在北韩进行地下核试验之后，安理会通过了一项决议案，在加重已有制裁措施的同时又增加了一些新的措施。新的制裁措施包括要求联合国所有成员国对所有涉嫌运输被禁武器以及其他材料出入北韩的船只进行检测。
Japan's U.N. envoy¹⁰, Yukio Takasu, noted some success on that front, citing the imminent¹¹ return to North Korea of a ship suspected of carrying banned weapons. "I think it is good that [the] DPRK [i.e., the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or North Korea] got the message that wherever it goes -- that any port or countries in the region -- will be cooperating in compliance¹² with resolutions. And probably that was the reason why they changed directions. It is welcome development," he said.
日本驻联合国大使高须幸雄(Yukio Takasu)表示，这一制裁措施到目前为止已经取得了一些成效，北韩一艘涉嫌携带被禁武器的船只面临立即回程的处境即说明了这一点。他说：“我认为北韩方面现在知道，不论走到哪里，不论是区域间的哪个国家或者是港口都要按照决议案行事。这恐怕就是他们改道而行的原因。从整个局势来说，这是一个积极的动向。”
The ship, the Kang Nam 1, reportedly was bound for Burma, when it changed course late last month after a U.S. warship¹³ began following it. It was due back in North Korea on Monday.
据报导，北韩的江南一号(Kang Nam 1)原本是驶向缅甸的，但是从上个月底遭到一艘美国战舰跟踪以来即改变了航程。这艘船计划星期一返回北韩。
