The stand-off caps a week of diplomatic drama.
這場戲劇性的外交事件僵持了超過一周。
On March 6th Malaysia kicked out the North Korean ambassador, Kang Chol, who denies that North Korean spies were responsible for the murder or that the victim was Kim Jong Nam; he accused Malaysia of cooking up the story with America and South Korea to blacken the North's reputation.
3月6日，馬來西亞驅逐了朝鮮駐馬大使Kang Chol(姜哲)，后者否認了朝鮮間諜與此次謀殺有關，并且不承認受害者就是金正男，他還指控馬來西亞和美國以及韓國編造故事來抹黑朝鮮。
The North Korean government formally expelled Malaysia's ambassador the same day, though by then his bosses had already called him back to Kuala Lumpur.
朝鮮政府在同一天也正式驅逐駐朝馬來西亞大使，即便駐朝的馬來西亞大使早已被召回吉隆坡。
In a further display of recalcitrance, North Korea tested four missiles simultaneously on March 6th, in defiance of UN sanctions.
同一天，也就是3月6日，朝鮮為了進一步的反抗，無視聯合國的制裁同時測試了四枚導彈。
In response to the North's frequent tests, America and South Korea are accelerating the deployment in South Korea of THAAD, an American anti-missile system.
為了應對朝鮮頻繁的測試導彈，美國和韓國加快了在韓部署薩德(美國的導彈防御系統)的動作。
That, in turn, has riled China, which fears THAAD could render its missiles less potent, too.
但這反而激怒了中國，因為薩德會使得中國的導彈失效。
Meanwhile, on March 8th, a previously unknown outfit called Cheollima Civil Defence posted a video it said was of Kim Han Sol, the son of Kim Jong Nam.
在3月8日這一天，憑空冒出的“千里馬民防隊組織”發布了一個視頻，他們自稱是金正男兒子金韓松的隊伍。
It claimed to have responded to a request to “extract and protect” him from his home in Macau, along with his mother and sister.
他們聲稱要保護金韓松在澳門的家庭。
The group said it had received help from China, America and the Netherlands.
該組織還說收到了來自中國、美國和荷蘭的幫助。
Whether Kim Han Sol will become a vocal critic of the regime that murdered his father, or choose to vanish from sight, remains unclear.
金韓松是會發聲批評謀殺其父的政權，還是會選擇從人們的視線中消失，他的選擇很不明了。
