情態副詞

North Korea, a country largely closed off to the rest of the world, has welcomed its first tourists at a new holiday resort in an exclusive area on the east coast.

北韓在很大程度上是一個與世隔絕的國家，但它在東海岸一個獨特地區新建的度假勝地迎來了第一批遊客。

The Wonsan Kalma Coastal Tourist Zone opened on the 1st of July and is where the country's leader Kim Jong-un spent much of his youth.

元山卡爾瑪海岸旅遊區於 7 月 1 日開放，北韓領導人金正恩在這裡度過了他的大部分青春時光。

程度副詞

BBC News Russian reporter Yaroslava Kirikina managed to speak to one of those tourists who visited the highly restricted site.

BBC News 俄語記者 Yaroslava Kirikina 設法採訪了其中一位參觀過這一高度限制場所的遊客。

She's been telling us what they've been Russian tourists who have first visited it are really excited.

她一直在向我們介紹俄羅斯遊客的情況，第一次來這裡的遊客都非常興奮。

They seem to have enjoyed the holiday despite all numerous restrictions they have experienced and some issues with the tourist self.

他們似乎很享受這個假期，儘管他們經歷了許多限制，還遇到了一些遊客自己的問題。

The lady I spoke to was in the first group and it happens that it coincided with a visit to the resort by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and their arrival to Wonsan Kalma was delayed by a day.

與我交談的這位女士屬於第一批，恰巧俄羅斯外交部長謝爾蓋-拉夫羅夫訪問度假勝地，他們抵達元山卡爾瑪的時間延後了一天。

But then they got there and they were really impressed with, as they described, flawless beach and kind of a host trying to accommodate almost every whim they had.

但到了那裡，他們真的被深深地震撼了，正如他們所描述的那樣，海灘完美無瑕，主人幾乎可以滿足他們的每一個奇思妙想。

Why is North Korea opening this resort when it is so restrictive on who it allows in?

北韓對入境者有如此嚴格的限制，為什麼還要開放這個度假村？

According to experts in North Korean affairs, Andrei Lankov, I've spoken to, the thing is that they desperately want some money, some actually valued currency like dollars, euros, even rubles.

據我接觸過的北韓事務專家安德烈-蘭科夫說，他們迫切想要一些錢，一些真正有價值的貨幣，比如美元、歐元，甚至盧布。

And obviously they used to be quite popular among Chinese tourists before the Now there's just a fraction of Russian tourists who are now coming to North Korea and there are roughly 300 to 500 bookings per month.

很明顯，在朝鮮戰爭之前，他們在中國遊客中很受歡迎，現在只有一小部分俄羅斯遊客來到北韓，每月大約有 300 到 500 個預訂。

They still cannot replenish, obviously, the previous tourist floor.

顯然，他們仍然無法補充以前的遊客人數。

So North Korea desperately needs some cash and the tour itself to Wonsan Kalma is paid partly in dollars.

北韓迫切需要一些現金，而元山卡爾瑪之旅本身的部分費用就是用美元支付的。

Is it surprising given, as you say, how desperately the country needs money and resources, the quality of the offering there and also things like food?

正如您所說，考慮到該國迫切需要資金和資源，以及所提供的服務品質以及食物等，這是否令人驚訝？

How are they managing to offer high quality accommodation, food, all of those things that go into making a world class resort?

他們是如何提供高品質的住宿、美食以及所有這些打造世界級度假勝地的要素的？

Yeah, there are various speculations of where the reason to build this resort come from, because North Korea used to have several resorts, including Rason,

是的，關於建造這個度假村的原因有很多猜測，因為北韓曾經有幾個度假村，包括羅先，

which is quite popular among, I think it was rather popular among British tourists because they went there some of them this winter.

我覺得它在英國遊客中很受歡迎，因為今年冬天有些英國遊客去了那裡。

But now they want to lure more Chinese, primarily after Chinese tourists in the first place, as Andrei Lankov believes.

安德烈-蘭科夫認為，現在他們想吸引更多的中國人，首先是中國遊客。

But due to some rough relations with China at the moment, only Russians are permitted.

但由於目前與中國關係不佳，只允許俄羅斯人進入。

It's kind of by allowing them, North Korea is trying to show the world that we have a powerful ally and so on.

北韓允許他們這樣做，是想向世界表明，我們有一個強大的盟友，等等。

But again, there are speculations that either there was kind of an Asian resort they wanted to kind of reproduce or Benidorm, which I believe is quite popular among British tourists.

但同樣，有人猜測他們想要複製一個亞洲度假勝地，或者貝尼多姆，我相信貝尼多姆在英國遊客中很受歡迎。
