The United States and South Korea will reportedly practice preemptive military strikes to take out North Korean nuclear sites next month when they begin the largest joint exercises ever conducted by the two allied forces.

美國和韓國下個月開始舉行兩個盟軍之間有史以來最大規模的聯合軍演，據報將演練先發制人摧毀朝鮮核設施的軍事打擊能力。

In the wake of North Korea’s recent nuclear test and long-range rocket launch, Washington and Seoul will focus in part on defending against attacks by weapons of mass destruction during this years annual joint exercises.

繼朝鮮最近進行核試驗和遠程火箭發射之后，華盛頓和首爾今年的年度聯合軍演將部分努力集中于如何抵御大規模殺傷性武器的襲擊。

In some scenarios being game planned by military strategists, the best defense is a good offense, one that would eliminate a North Korean missile site, nuclear facility or other strategic military target prior to an imminent attack.

在軍事戰略家設計的某些演習狀況中，最好的防守就是發動有效進攻，也就是在襲擊即將來臨之前，摧毀朝鮮的導彈發射場、核設施或其他軍事戰略目標。

“These types of exercises, this type of training, considering the nature of the threat, its going to be the new normal for North Korea, unless they were to roll back their nuclear program, which I donforesee that happening anytime soon,” said Northeast Asia security analyst Daniel Pinkston with Troy University in Seoul.

首爾的特洛伊大學安全分析人士丹尼爾·平斯頓說：“考慮到威脅的性質，這類軍演和這類訓練對朝鮮來說將是新常態，除非他們廢止其核計劃。但我認為短期內這不會發生。”
