韩国已提议与朝鲜举行军事会谈。新一届韩国政府希望舒缓韩朝紧张局势，启动半岛和平进程。
The move to engage with the Kim Jong Un regime, which this month successfully tested its first inter-continental ballistic missile, is likely to rile the US, as President Donald Trump attempts to rally the international community to bolster sanctions and pile pressure on Pyongyang.
朝鲜本月成功测试了其首枚洲际弹道导弹。韩方与金正恩(Kim Jong Un)政权展开接触的举措，很可能会激怒美国。美国总统唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)正努力号召国际社会加大对朝鲜的制裁和施压。
Should Pyongyang agree to the overture, the military talks would be the first for three years. They have been slated for Friday in the truce village of Panmunjom, located in the heavily fortified but misnamed demilitarised zone, or DMZ, between the two nations.
如果平壤方面接受这一提议，将是三年来双方首次举行军事会谈。韩方提议本周五在板门店举行此次会谈。板门店这个村子位于韩朝两国之间戒备森严、名不副实的非军事区，是停战条约签署地。
The proposal comes a week after South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in outlined his vision for dialogue with North Korea during a speech in Berlin.
一周前，韩国总统文在寅(Moon Jae-in)在柏林发表讲话时概述了他与朝鲜展开对话的愿景。
“We do not want North Korea’s collapse, nor will we seek any form of unification by absorption,” he said. 他表示：“我们既不希望朝鲜崩溃，也不寻求任何形式的吞并式统一。”
Seoul has also proposed reopening Red Cross talks, aimed at resuming reunions of families split by the bisection of the peninsula during the Korean war in the 1950s.
首尔方面还提议重启红十字会(Red Cross)会谈，以恢复南北离散家庭团聚活动。上世纪50年代朝鲜战争导致的半岛分裂造成了这些家庭的离散。
North Korea has yet to respond to Seoul’s proposal but experts in Seoul expect Pyongyang to agree to military talks, although it is less likely to be co-operative on resuming reunions of separated families.
朝鲜尚未对首尔方面的建议作出回应，但首尔的专家预计平壤方面会同意举行军事会谈，尽管朝方在恢复南北离散家庭团聚方面合作的可能性较小。
