North Korean new leader Kim Jong-un has made his first televised public speech, as Pyongyang marks the centenary of the birth of the country’s founder.
平壤紀念開國領袖百年冥誕時，北韓新領導人金正恩發表首次電視公開演說。

He offered respects to grandfather Kim Il-sung and late father Kim Jong-il. Mr Kim praised the "military first" doctrine and said the time his nation could be threatened was "forever over".
他向祖父金日成與已故父親金正日致敬，讚揚「軍事第一」的信條，表示國家會被威脅的時期已經「永遠結束」。

There was also a huge military parade in the main square which unveiled what appeared to be a large new missile -- two days after a failed rocket launch. The launch was condemned by the international community, amid concern that it was a covert test of long-range missile technology.
北韓也在大廣場舉行大型閱兵典禮，公開展示疑似新的大型飛彈─就在火箭發射失敗的2天後。北韓發射火箭遭國際社會譴責，擔心是為長程飛彈試射掩飾。

"I express my greetings to our compatriots in South Korea and across the world who dedicate themselves to reunification and the prosperity of the nations," he said reading from a script, in an address that lasted more than 20 minutes, as the crowds applauded throughout.
「我向南韓的同胞及全世界為統一與國運昌盛奉獻的人致意。」金正日唸稿演說，演說長達20分鐘，全程都有群眾鼓掌。

Mr Kim said peace was important but national pride more so. "Let us move forward to final victory," he said. Mr Kim praised the country’s "military first" policy. "Superiority in military technology is no longer monopolised by imperialists," he said.
金正恩表示，和平重要，國家尊嚴更重要。「讓我們向最終勝利邁進。」金正恩說。金讚揚國家的「軍事第一」政策。「軍事技術的優勢已經不再被帝國主義者壟斷」，他說。
