《中英對照讀新聞》Kim’s new interpreter debut 金正恩新口譯首度亮相

美國總統川普（左二）與北韓領導人金正恩（右二）2月27日在河內「川金二會」第一天，連袂開放媒體拍照。金正恩左方即為其新的口譯人員申惠英（譯音）。川普右方的口譯則是擁有日內瓦大學「翻譯和口譯學院」博士學位、在美國國務院與白宮服務多年的李潤香（譯音），她曾任美國前總統布希、歐巴馬與前國務卿柯林頓．希拉蕊的口譯。（歐新社）

The new interpreter of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un came to the stage at the Hanoi summit. Accompanying Kim is Sin Hye-yong. Not much is known about Sin, who hadn’t been identified by the media until the beginning of the summit.

北韓領導人金正恩的新口譯在河內峰會登台。陪同金正恩的口譯是申惠英（譯音）。目前外界對她所知無幾，直到這次美、朝峰會開始時，媒體才認出她來。

Sin made her debut when Kim met with Trump at Hanoi’s Metropole hotel where they had dinner together on the first day of the summit. Since then, she has been translating Kim’s every word into English for Trump.

當金正恩在河內的「大都會飯店」與美國總統川普會晤時，申惠英首次亮相，兩位領袖於峰會首日在這家飯店共進晚餐。自此，她就把金正恩講的每一句話向川普翻譯成英文。

Sin is the only person who is allowed to join the one-to-one meeting between the leaders, and is likely to be highly trusted by the North’s regime with her English ability. Critics say the reason behind the change of interpreters was likely due to the possibility that Trump’s female interpreter Lee Yun-hyang, attracted media attention as the sole female figure, which somewhat derailed the summit.

申惠英是唯一獲准參與此次一對一會談的人員，其英語能力很可能得到北韓政權高度信賴。批評人士指稱，更換口譯的背後原因，很可能出於（第一次川金會時）身為唯一女性的川普口譯李潤香（譯音）吸引了媒體注意，使峰會本身有點失焦。
