华盛顿，10月9日——今天，朝鲜自夸自己进行了核试验，国际社会对此表示谴责，即使朝鲜的同盟国也给予其强烈的批评。但是，国际社会专家们对这一核弹的威力仍表示怀疑。

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 — North Korea came under international condemnation today after boasting that it had tested a nuclear weapon, with strong criticism even from its allies, but there were doubts in the intelligence community about the strength of the device.

The United Nations Security Council today began working on a resolution condemning North Korea’s action, shortly after President Bush denounced the announcement of the test as a “provocative act,” one that requires an “immediate response.”

情报部门仍然在努力工作，以对朝鲜的声明加以确定。在这一点上，布什先生用词不多。但是布什先生认为“这样一个声明就足以对国际社会的和平和安全构成威胁。”美国驻联合国大使约翰·R·波顿说，对于今天早晨朝鲜的行为，联合国安理会的每位成员一致表示反对。“没有人为它辩护，”波顿先生说，“甚至连一点为它辩护的念头都没有。”

Mr. Bush was careful to say that intelligence officials were still working to confirm North Korea’s statement. But he said that “such a claim itself constitutes a threat to international peace and security.” John R. Bolton, the American ambassador to the United Nations, said the members of the Security Council were unanimous in their disapproval of North Korea’s actions during a preliminary discussion this morning.
