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 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.
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。”
"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.
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。
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.
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。
Now North Korea wants those three sides and South Korea to sign a treaty.
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。”
"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.
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。
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.
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。
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.
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。
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.
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。
Despite their old friendship, China opposes the North's nuclear programme and has supported sweeping UN sanctions on North Korea for its weapons development.
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。
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.
