原文:

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un praised military officers at a ceremony marking the 67th anniversary of the end of the Korean War on July 26, conferring commemorative pistols and demanding loyalty in the ongoing 'revolutionary cause.'

State media reported on the event on July 27, while other reports stated that Kim and top officials visited a war memorial and that preparations are underway for a war veterans conference. The Korean War came to a halt with an armistice agreement on July 27, 1953 — a date that has since been memorialized as an important DPRK holiday.

At the ceremony at the Party Central Committee headquarters in Pyongyang, Kim conferred 'Paektusan' pistols to 'the new generation of military leaders, who would carry to completion the revolutionary cause of Juche by firmly holding the weapons of the revolution.'

中譯:

北韓領導人金正恩於7月26日紀念韓戰結束67周年的典禮上慰勉軍官,並頒授紀念手槍,期勉渠等在持續進行的「革命大業」上忠誠以對。

北韓官媒於27日報導此慶典,而其他報導則論及金正恩與高階官員視察戰爭紀念館,以及韓戰退伍軍人大會的整備作業。1953年7月27日簽訂的停戰協議中止了韓戰,此後這個日子便成為北韓重要的紀念節日。

當日在平壤黨中央委員總部的典禮上,金正恩頒授「白頭山」手槍給新一代軍事將領,讓他們「牢牢握緊這把革命武器,去完成金氏主體的革命大業」。
