North Korea is seeking a peace treaty with the United States, China and South Korea to formally end the Korean War and will not stop its nuclear tests until it gets one, a person who relayed that message from North Korea to China told Reuters.
据悉，一名向中国政府传达朝鲜政府意图的消息人士告知路透社，朝鲜谋求正式终结朝韩战事，同美国、中国以及韩国签署和平协议。若该要求得不到满足，朝鲜仍将继续核实验。
"North Korea will do it to the end until China and the United States want to sign a peace treaty," said the source, who declined to be identified.
这位拒绝透露身份的消息人士表示：“除非中美同朝鲜签署和平协议，否则朝鲜的核实验仍将继续进行下去。”
The 1950-53 Korean War ended in an armistice, not a peace treaty, signed by the United States, representing UN forces, the North Korean military and the Chinese army.
抗美援朝战争始于1950年，于1953年宣告结束。为这场战争画上休止符的并非所谓的和平协议，而是由代表联合国军队的美国与中朝两国共同签署的停战协定。
Now North Korea wants those three sides and South Korea to sign a treaty.
如今朝鲜希望中美朝三方加上韩国共同签署四方和平协议。
"This explosion is mainly for the United States to see. The main objective is to persuade the United States to enter into four-country negotiations to end the war so that there can be everlasting peace on the Korean peninsula," the source said.
该消息人士表示：“朝鲜这次的爆炸实验是做给美国看的，其主要目的还是说服美国重归谈判，以期达成四方和平协议，从而消弭战事，为朝鲜半岛带来长久的和平。”
The United States and China have both dangled the prospect of better ties, including the lifting of sanctions and eventually a likely peace treaty, if North Korea gives up its nuclear weapons.
中美两国都对朝鲜许以改善双边关系的愿景，包括解除对朝鲜的制裁以及达成和平协议的可能性，但一切的前提是朝鲜放弃拥有核武器的打算。
But North Korea believes the United States will only negotiate if Pyongyang can demonstrate its strength through its weapons. With its demand for a treaty ignored, North Korea has continued to develop its nuclear weapons and a stalemate has ensued.
然而朝鲜方面认为，唯有示之以武，美国才会重新回到谈判桌前。美国对朝鲜签署和平协议的要求置之不理，朝鲜方面便故态复萌，从而造成了朝鲜半岛如今的僵局。
The source said he had relayed the message from North Korea to China's top leadership immediately after its latest test, urging China to support a push for a treaty.
这名消息人士表示，核实验一结束，自己便将朝鲜方面的意思传达给中国最高领导层，敦促中国推动谈判的进行。
Despite their old friendship, China opposes the North's nuclear programme and has supported sweeping UN sanctions on North Korea for its weapons development.
尽管中朝两国拥有悠久的友谊，但是中国仍然反对朝鲜实行核武计划，支持联合国对朝鲜发展核武器采取的大规模制裁政策。
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying, when asked on Friday what China's position was on the need for a peace treaty, said Beijing supported resolving all parties "reasonable concerns"and achieving lasting peace through the so-called six party talks.
周五，当问到中国对对和平协议必要性的态度时，外交部发言人华春莹表示，中国政府支持通过六方会谈解决各方对事态的“合理关切”，推动朝鲜半岛实现长久的和平。
