although he had been musing³ out loud about it for days.

Still, it caught even his own staff by surprise and forced an extraordinary scramble⁴ to arrange logistics and security,

尽管如此，这次会面还是打了他的属下们一个措手不及，以致于他们在安排后勤和安全时，

a task that would ordinarily take days or weeks.

Mr. Trump gambled that the show of amity⁵ could crack the nuclear logjam,

特朗普打赌说，展示友好关系可以打破核僵局，

underscoring his faith in the power of his own personal diplomacy⁶ — even with brutal⁷ strongmen like Mr. Kim —

此话突显了他对个人外交力量的自信——即使是与金正恩这样冷酷的铁腕人物打交道——

More than halfway⁸ through his term, Mr. Trump is eager for a resolution to the longstanding dispute,

任期已经过半的特朗普迫切地希望能够解决这一长期争端，

seeing it as a signature element of the legacy⁹ he hopes to forge and a potential boost to his re-election campaign.

在他眼里，这一争端的解决将成为他希望打造的政绩里的一根标杆，说不定还能在他竞选连任时助他一臂之力。

Even in this symbolic¹⁰ moment of reconciliation¹¹, Mr. Trump seemed to toggle back and forth¹² between glory and grievance¹³,

即使在这个和解的象征性时刻，特朗普似乎依然游离在荣耀和不满之间，

reveling one minute in the history of the day and then the next griping that he was not getting enough credit for reducing friction¹⁴ with North Korea.

前一刻还陶醉在这历史性的一天，后一刻便又在为自己减轻了与朝鲜的摩擦却没有得到足够的赞誉牢骚满腹了。

He seemed acutely defensive¹⁵ about criticism that he has yet to reach an agreement to eliminate North Korea’s nuclear arsenal¹⁶

他似乎十分抗拒外界对他2018年6月和2019年2月分别在新加坡和河内与金正恩举行了峰会，

despite summit meetings with Mr. Kim in Singapore in June 2018 and in Hanoi in February.

依然未能促成协议，让朝鲜放弃核武库的批评。

Almost every time he saw a microphone, he complained that his achievement had not been appreciated.

几乎每次看到麦克风，他都会上去抱怨自己的功劳没有得到赏识。

“There was great conflict here prior to our meeting in Singapore,” he said. “Tremendous conflict and death all around them.

“在我们在新加坡会晤之前，这里发生了严重的冲突，”他说。“四面八方都有数不清的冲突和死亡包围。

And it’s now been extremely peaceful. It’s been a whole different world.”

现在这边已经非常平静了，已经跟之前完全不一样了。”

“That wouldn’t necessarily have been reported, but they understand it very well,” he added, referring to the news media.

“这点未必会被报道，但他们自己其实是非常清楚的，”他补充说，他说的“他们”指的是新闻媒体。

“I keep saying that for the people who say nothing has been accomplished¹⁷. So much has been accomplished.”

“我一直在说，那些说我们没有任何进展的人听着，我们的进展实在是太大了。”

Since Mr. Trump took office, North Korea has suspended nuclear tests, released detained Americans

自特朗普上任以来，朝鲜不仅暂停了核试验，释放了被拘留的美国人，

and sent back to the United States the remains¹⁸ of some American soldiers killed in the war.

还将一些在战争中阵亡的美国士兵的遗体交还给了美国。

South Korean officials and others in the region say tension has eased significantly,

韩国官员和该地区其他国家的官员都表示，两国的紧张局势已经明显缓解，

and Mr. Moon praised Mr. Trump as “the peacemaker of the Korean Peninsula.”

就连文在寅也称赞特朗普是“朝鲜半岛和平的缔造者”。

But American intelligence agencies have concluded that North Korea “is unlikely” to give up its nuclear arsenal, as Mr. Trump has demanded,

但美国情报机构得出的结论是，朝鲜“不太可能”像特朗普要求的那样放弃自己的核武库，

and even amid the rapprochement with the president,

而且，一项研究显示，即使在与总统和解期间，

the North has produced enough fuel for a half-dozen additional nuclear weapons, according to one study.

朝鲜也生产了足够制造6枚新核武器的燃料。

In May, it launched short-range missiles in violation¹⁹ of United Nations resolutions.

今年5月，朝鲜违反联合国决议发射了多枚短程导弹。

Critics called the DMZ greeting an overhyped photo opportunity by a president

批评人士称，在非军事区举行的这次问候不过是被总统夸大了的一次拍照机会，

who himself ratcheted up the conflict with North Korea in his first year in office

因为总统本人在他执政的第一年就发誓如果朝鲜威胁到美国的安全，

by vowing²⁰ to unleash²¹ “fire and fury” if it threatened American security.

美国就会释放“炮火和怒火”，导致美国与朝鲜的冲突加剧。

“Today is a victory for South Korea’s middle-power diplomacy and President Moon’s peace agenda,”

“今天，韩国的中等强国外交政策和文在寅总统的和平议程是取得了胜利，”

said Leif-Eric Easley, associate professor of international studies at Ewha Womans University in Seoul.

首尔梨花女子大学国际研究副教授利夫-埃里克·伊斯利说道。

“But tomorrow, North Korea will still have nuclear weapons, and the U.S. will still maintain sanctions.”

“但明天呢，朝鲜仍会拥有核武器，美国也仍会继续制裁朝鲜。”
